NKW YOUK , April 13 The stronge t kind of
war prlcnt raerd 'In nil the craln and provi
sion markets this afternoon. Liverpool set tht
pace with i rencatlonal jump of 4403id In
wheat qu-latlon ? , and bulls on thM , after a
week of crlrglnc before the bear element. Im
mediately secured the upper hand and squeezed
the rtiorts to the tune of IVe before mlddny. It
was time of extraordinary excitement In the
I local wheat pit. Millions of buihels changed
I hands and at tlp-M the rlnr was In a rtate n !
I wild rontudon. The May option leaped to Jl.ttH
nd July tr Mic. the Utter comoarfd with
94Se at the ofllrlal cloie Aiturdiy. It was well
along In the noon hour before the tremendous
demand was sntlsfled and prices eased off
little from the top. Itesldns the Liverpool
strength bulls were aided by reports that Rus
sia , wa * short of suppllei and asking big ad
vances for Iti trheit. Tht prominence of that
country competitor of the United RUte *
gave thin news great significance. The vlMblv
supply decrease of JJ40 , ( bit. was twice at
large as expected , although It helped the fore
noon strength. I ter In the day the crowd sold
out a part of Us purchased , causing lo break
from the top , bit closing nrmnesa left r.t > ct8
JHOilic hither , near mraths showing the great
est strength. About 43 loads of wneit , ICO load *
of corn and IM.CW bu. of oats were taken for
export at all ports today. May wheat sold
from 11.114 to tl.l i , clortng at the latter fig
ure. July ranged from Mftc tj 9 T4c , closing at
9Hc.

NKW YORK , April 24. The market for re-
curltles was sluggish nnd almost stagnant to
day. Prices ruled below Saturday's close and
while there was a brief pause at one time dur
ing the morning In the downward course , due
to strength shown by one or two of the Indus
trials , the sagging tendency of the market was
practically uninterrupted. The trading was nar
row and professional and declines really repre
sented nothing more than a natural reaction
from Saturday's advance. The supply of stocks
continued limited , owners apparently being con-
ter.t to hold their property for higher prices.
Neither Is there any active demand for stocks
at the present level. The conwquence Is that
the movement of price * Is rather narrow. There
belli ? no genuine demand for stocks and no real
pressure of liquidation prices naturally lose one
iliy what they R.ilned the day before , or gain
the next day what .they lose today. There was
come felling In IMf market to.lay for London
account , which may have represented liquida
tion by timid foreign holders. There wns quite
a wide movement of prices In some of the high-
priced Industrial cveclaltles. Otherwise the mar
ket was In the hands of the room triders. The
waiting attitude of trader * U likely to continue
until the occurrence of come event giving a
clear Indication of the course or probable dura
tion of rhf war with Spiln The future stock
market Is lo dependent largely on the course
of the money market. There was nothing to
Indicate accurately what that course will be.
There was tome demand for currency from the
Interior , Chicago exchange falling today to a
discount. The subtreatury alro litucd a notice
that It would receive no further depclts on
account of shipments of currency from Washing
ton or of telegraphic transfer * to any point.
The transfers of this character today amounted
to VM.Ooo. and In view of the depletion of the
treasury's supply of currency and good supply
of gold the above notice was made necessary.
There was no change In time money or com
mercial paper , although money continued to be
fairly well supplied. No apprehension was ex
pressed of stringency In the Immediate future.
There was a sbirp advance in the foreign ex
change rates , demand sterling bills rising H
per cent. There Is no active demand for ex
change , but the stocks Which had accumulated
In New York had been largely worked oft by
the Importation of gold. The gold Import move ,
ment has for the moment evidently ceased ,
though any active demand for money. It Is
believed , would promptly bring about Its re
sumption. The bond market was very dull today
and prices drifted to a lower level. Total sales ,
IS75.000. United Pinter. 4s advanced 14 per cent
today , while the is declined 1 per cent , the old
4s , coupon , H IKT cent , nnd the old 4s , regis
tered , U per cent In the bid prlc * .
The Evening Post's Ucnlnn financial cablegram
* > * : "The- stock markets here wre steady to.

There were twenty or twenty-live more
cars of stock reported In the yards today
than on Monday of last week. It being a
fair run for t'ne first day of the week. The
rain was In hogs , there being n falling oft
n both sheep and cattle. While values on
ome kinds of stoekvwere lower the market
.s a whole was In fair condition , that Is
here was a demand equal to t'ne offerings
nd the pens were pretty well cleared and
n good season.
CATTLE There were only fifty cars of
inttle In the yards , as against sixty a week
go and sixty-seven two weeks ago. Ill
ther words , It was a light run for the
.rst day of the week , and It might be In-
erred from t'nat fact that shippers are n lit-
le afraid ot the market nt the present
Ime , and are Inclined to wait until packers
enow more about what to expect , und are
eady tD buy more freely. While no one
ran form any reliable Idea of what the
: uture of the market will be during the next
, 'ew days , It would seem to be prudent to
< eep near to shore and await events.
Bot'n shippers and packers were operating
n today's market , but the demand wns
mly of moderate proportions , and no one
ippeared to want any great number. The
eellng , 'however , was somewhat better as
egards tidy little cattle and 'the ' offerings
if such generally met with quite ready sale
nt strong prices. In fact. It would be safe
o call the market on that kind of cattle
itlOc 'nlgher In extreme cases. Medium
.velght . cattle were about steady , selling In
about the same notches as on Saturday , but
heavy and coarse cattle were us slow nnd
dragBV " as at any time , and If anything
"ower.
Desirable butchers' stock was In fair re
quest , and sold generally In good season at
prices not materially different from those
laid on Saturday. There were not many
; oed cows nnd heifers , but a few of 1'iie
utter sold up to $4.10.
Stockers and feeders were In very moder-
nle supp'.y , but there were a great plenty.
The fact Is that the sale for stock cattle
nt the present time Is very limited , owing to
the falling off In the country demand.
Karmers are generally busy In the Holds
and 'nave something of more Importance In
hand than the buying of cattle. The de
pressed condition of the beef market has
undoubtedly had some effect also In the
way of limiting country demand , us the out
look Just at present Is not particularly
brlc'nt. Whatever may have been the
causes , the fact remains that there Is only
a small buying demand for stock cattle nnd
values in consequence have gradually fallen
of their own weight. Today's trade was
only n sample of other days of recent date.

HOGS For a Monday today' * receipts of hogs
locked larire , fifty-nine cars belnc reported on
Bale a fagalnut twenty-eight a week ago and
thirty-five cars two weeks ago. In fact. It wan
the largent run In a long time for a Mondiy.
It would appear that th tils Imlije on Thurs
day and Friday attracted the attention of ship.
| K > ra and started the hogs to coming. Duyem
however , have been predicting that a larger
run of hogs wsuld tet in very teen , and possibly
It U already commencing.
Tiie avenue quality of the receipts today was
very good , that la there were a number or right
choice loads of heavy and butcher weight hogs
among the offerings and not many very poor
loads.
Weak to 5o lower was the way advices from
other gelling points rend , and the buyer * at this
point started out bidding about 5c lower , but
they did not fcure many loads on that bans.
Ttia general market wax only a shade lower
an drearoiubly active at the decline. The buy
ers evldentiy wanted the hogs and were ready
ID take all that they could set at the prices ,
but fellers were Inclined lo hold on pretty hard
for steady prlcei , so that n complete clearance
was not effected as foon as might otherwise hive
been tha cafe.
A few loads of light and traihy stuff Fold
under 13.70 , but good mixed loads generally
brought 13.7003 72' , with good heavy and butcher
weights telling up to J3.M. On Saturday there
were a few loads at (3.60 , so that the tup tuday
\vaa no lower. The big bulk of all the hogs ,
however , sold on Saturday at the same range
as today , that Is at )3.70i3.75 , but the proportion
o fsalea at the bottom figures was much larger
todar.
The week opens with hogs polling about 12Hc
hlpher than at the opening of last week , but
only ai shade higher than two weeks ago. The
market today was only lOc lower than a year
ago. Representative cales :

nn Ailvcrnc Inflornce.
NEW YORK. April 25. The cation market
was adversely Influenced this morning by bear
ish cables from the English market and a lack
of outside speculation anil support. Price * nt
Liverpool eased off 2'ifl2i points. This Ktnrted
liquidation In the local market and prices roon
dropped 5@7 points , L-iter a better feeling pre
vailed on covering and some Investment buy-
Intr. after which speculation fell oft 'materially
with the market during the greater pait of
the afternoon In a nerveless condition. The
reported failure of a large Liverpool house
caused same apprehension , but It was soon
learned that fbere were no outstanding obliga
tions at this nolnt and this news ceased to
be a factor. Private dispatches pointed to a
generally bullish feeling among the Kngll h cot-
Ion trade1. Thote from Manchester claimed busi
ness In yarns and cloth wa * very satisfactory
and an active demand for Hint cotton wai an
ticipated from snlnners for some time to come.
