NEW YORK. April C.-Stock price
plumped badly today and closed active am
weak at about the lowest. Crop tulvlre
we're unfavorable and these were glvoi
color by the advance In wheat , but the prln
clpal cause for the shaking of conlldenc
was a renewal of the Htrlngency In the cal
money market.
Discrimination In loans In certain Indus
trials and specialties made some broker
disinclined to carry marginal accounts fo
some of thcso properties. This attltiid" wa
taken advantage of by the bear contlngpn
and proml-euous .Celling of the general spe
clulty group fnlloxvcd. Among tlm mnr
conspicuous brinks were Brooklyn Transl
10 nolnlA , Metropolitan SU , .Manliattan 7'/i
Consolidated Gas and American Stceil
each , Fedora. . ! .Steel and Tobacco about
each , and many others In this group fron
3 to 4. Some of thrso stocks closed abov
the Jowest. Brooklyn Transit , Mnnhattai
and Consolldateil Gas being conspicuous"
The ( lecltiiM In 'the moro active Tnllway
niiiirox mated a points.
The acknowledged bull leaders , prcsum
ably having liquidated , so-med apathetic li
stemming the downward course of prop
crtles with which they are Idcntliled. Ther
were occasional rallies apparently only 1i
afford n .Hew Ifvcl from which to let g <
stocks. The recent continued advance ti
many slocks , which eliminated much of th
* hort 'InterewtH made the decline rapid n ;
the-ro wait no support from this quarter
'Many ' Htop-loss ord-rs wore uncovered , thu
ncceleratlng the decline.
Ixmdon early purchased nbout as murl
as It sold yesterday , but the market then
followed local quotations so nearly tha
( irbltrago .business . eras -d. There was mucl
money borrowed early on cull around 6 am
S per cent on railways , but 2 per cent o
more In addition "was exacted on. Industrln
collateral , and 12 per cent for call loam
was reached at tlm ° s during the day. Be
fore the close money was offered down fron
S to 4 per cent on railroad collateral afte :
the more urgent requirements for mon ? ;
had been mot , but later loans wpre madi
at 6 per cent. The continued high ratcn foi
money have not brought as much monej
from outHldo points < i * expected. Boston
however , loaned some money In New Yorl
today. The demand for money for lntercs
and dividend payment , together with thi
recurrent necessity of financing Industrla
rompanlqs. was assigned as the reason foi
the present scarcity of funds.
Heavy offerings of tlu active Isrups wen
made In the bond market today , coincides
with the dceHm-s In stocks. Total sale ?
$2.790,000. United States 5s advanced U pel
cent and the 3s and the new 4s % par ecu
In the bid price.
The Commercial Advcrilser'a Londot
financial cablegram says : The market :
here were extremely Idle today and the tom
was dull. The American market wa1
merely nominal. It opened at parity aw
then Improved a trlllo. Now York bough' '

CATT1..U Heef steer * were. In good re
quest this morning and there wore none to
many to supply the demand , so that a goai
aotlvo market might have been expected
However , Chicago reported a slow marke
at it decline of lOc and buyers naturall ;
wanted some concession In prices at till
polin. but they wanted the cattle never
theleBB , while sellers worked hard to holi
up the market. The result was that , whll
the cattle sold a little owcr , they did no
experience as much of a break as was re
ported at Chicago. Handy little cattle. BUC !
as every on ? wants , were not much. If any
lower ; In fact they could safely be reportei
as Just about steady. Other cuttle wer
slow and weak and In extreme cases Kom
cattle may have Bold as much as lOc lowei
In spite of the fact that steers were lowe
the cow market was active and good kind
of cow. * and heifers were strong. Every
thing In thnt line was disposed of In a ver ;
short time after the market opened and a
prices that wore entirely HatlHfactory t <
the sellers. Oholce light stock bu'.ls ar
good sellers and prices on that kind hav
not shown material change In the last fev
days. The medium kinds of stock bulls ar
not as good sellers. Fat bulls were ver :
Blow today and u llttlo lower even thai
yesterday. Shippers should study closel :
the representative sales given bc..ow , so ate
to be able to fully appreciate the declln
on fat bulls that has taken place in h
last two weeks.
Not many stockers or feeders were to b
found in the yards , while there was th
u-ual brisk demand noted the last few days
The market on anything desirable was lirn
and ofl'erlngf as a rule met with ready sal
at prices that were entirely satisfactory t
holders. Uepresentatlve saJes :

morning , with u fair buying d-mund fa

to lie for the better hogs , and such seller
as had loads that pleased buyers wcro tn
abled to sell out ut the decline noted. I
othe-r cases the llrst bids wore Sc lower u
the start. A little la.Ur on advices wer
received from Chicago reporting that mm
ket aa Gc lower and doting with a goo
many hogs ui-iohl. Under the Influence o
that report buyers hero lowered their hand
nml the market closed 5c lower at till
point , but with the hogti all sold. While th
trade was at no time very active , owing t
the r&luptnnco of sellers to make the. con

Dutlotln will publish today .1 summary of
csilnmtes by Its correspondent on the area
spoiled to winter whe.it , und the poi-celilngo
of damage by the tinsp.iRotiablc weather dur
ing the last two months. The reports show :
En t of the Allegheny mountains the damage -
ago \\i\s \ alight , as the erop wan fnlrly well
protected by snow. The same Is true of Ohio
niul Michigan. In Inillnna considerable dnm-
RO Is reported , while In pomnrru Illinois
the outlook IB very unfavorable. In Missouri
considerable ilnniaRC has been MmtalnoJ. He-
ports from Kansas tire decidedly unfavorable
and the loss In that state U qulto serious ,
In Texas also the damage Is larger thmi
Kenen\lly anticipated. In the northern part
of Kentucky the crop Is In rather Rood con
dition , but In the southern part of the state
mid In Tennessee the severe winter wheat
weather made great Inroads In crops. In
Iowa the crop Is very largo and In Nebraska
the outlook la decidedly discouraging. In.
Wisconsin the damage was rather serious.
In California the prospects are excellent.
A summary of it ho reports In conjunction ,
with late Htato reports indicates that tin
condition of the winter wheat crop of tha
United States Is not to exceed 75 , which
oven on the Increased ai-rcnRo , would not
produce to exceed : ir,000 , 00 bushels to
3fiO.000.000 bushels , or 20,000,000 less than
last year.
Stales cast of the llocky mountains wilt
probably show a shortage of Ha.OOO.OOO to
40,000,000 'bushels ' ( it present outlook , which
will bo decreased .by tbo California pros
pects. Seeding of spring wheat Is decid
edly backward In Nebraska , Iowa , Minnesota
seta , South Dakota , North Dakota and In
the rtochy mountain districts , and the out
look favors n decreased urea.
ST. LOUIS , April (5. A special to tha
Post-Dispatch from Mason City , 111. , says :
Nearly all the wheat through central Illi
nois from Danville to Havana , considered
the best portion of the ntate , Is dead. There
was a largo acreage sown last fall. Farm
ers are discouraged.
