May wheat e'losed I'ic. May corn V'. May oats and provisions 2l.o to COt: lower. In wheat, the decline which bewin a wek aKO continued tilicheckcd. Lower cables were offect by Unlit northwest leeelptd and the openliiR, therefore, was without any material chntih'e l lrleen. May at thin time sold at 7IVi'l-V '"m pared with yetcrday'H closes at IUe. Moderate buy Inn, ehlelly In the hopo of a turn after ho severe u break eaiised an early rally to l,ie.

The decline once storied Ioiik stuff caino out In heavy iualilltles, one operator ilumplliK 2.0W.IWO bUMhels Into the pit. Htop-losa orders were uncovered and the combined pressure.- forced May down to rose. Kxcellelit weather for the crop nnil the expectation of a bearish kv rrnment report tomorrow were factors In weakening the market. It was a bear day and the clone found heavy short lines out In expectation of still lower prices. Home few shorls took prollts at the bot tom and a recovery to "u'fce was registered In consequence, but the close was weak, May Pie depressed at 70c. Hxporters re ported lends taken for export.

May opened Mi'.c to Ui'V- lower at IIHIi He ii nil sold early to UMitl'fec, encouraged vninnwlmt by hlKlier cables. Lnnff.L'orn, how ever, benan to con! out, at llrst In driblets and later In hfiivlra quantities. May was forced back to c. Prollt-takltiK by shorts and buyliiK by I'hIIVps, the bull leader who Is said to control the market, caused a sharp rally to 11c, and the close was steady, May 3ie lower at MVMIc. .South western farmers, om'Iiik to the retarded Krnwth of Krass wero reported to be feed lint com In heavy quantities. Heavy nelllns or May and July oats char acterized the business 4n that cereal.

NEW YORK, April O.-An astonishing mutation of speculative sentiment was demonstrated by the uctlon of the stock market today. There was not n sign of the distress nnd aeule anxiety under which the market labored all day. It Is the al most Invariable rule that such a violent break In prices us that of yesterday brings nn overnight accumulation of selling or ders from alarmed holders or stock who waited for dally reports for their Inrorma tlon on the stock market, but the open ing this morning was quiet ami unriittled, with no Important pressure to sell and with many notable advances und by the demand to cover. when the tlav was over the nun leauers had recovernd ibrdr full control of the situ ation and wero marking up prices und at tracting large following with all the facility which has characterized all their operations ror manv wi-ekn mist. There was very palpable manipulation and there were care- iuny organizeti operations 10 suppun inu market, Commission houses which wero prominent In bidding up stocks und which hnve noted for large speculative Interests nil through the bull campaign, were freo fenders or money neiow mo rate or 1110 banks at the same time that were buying stocks. The Htirllugton deal was rehabili tated and had nppurentiy not lost nny ot Its nrlstlne force, although olllclal eon- llrmution was consplculotisly absent. There wns revived credulity In many other rumors which have already done good serv ice. Including that of the sumitiseil read justment of General ICIectrlc's capital und the Southwestern railroad merger. The settlement of the International Smelting, the advance in the pr cc or rellned sugars ant! the absenco of engagements for Sugar were used with effect by the buns. Advances reached li points In HurllnKton. Rock Island nnd Northwestern. 3Va In Great Northern ami Northern Pacllie, 4 In Chi cago ,v Eastern Illinois, 3 In Metropolitan, In Western Union. Consolidated Oas 3. Amalgamated Copper 4. Sugar 2i, United States Express BV4, Rubber 4'4, Rubber pre ferred 8'i and the malorltv of the nrlnclnal nctlve slocks 1 to 2 points. Only In ono or iwo cases weru me gams maintnineti, reactions running from 1 to 2, but the market was vigorously sunnorted ngaln and the close was Irregular. The pressure of profit-taking was not notably heavy, even at the advances. Apparently the speculative holders of stocks were de termined lo hold for a rurther rise unless they weru forced Into liquidation or unless thorn was n enlllmr In of loans or call for margins. Thero was much less calling of loans today than yesterday and this called attention to several causes for special pressure In yesterday s money market. Today's clearing house statement dis closed the enormous totul of exchanges of J437.832.HSO, which Is over JI2.000,00O In excess of the largest previous day's record In the history of tho clenrlng house. The general activity of tho stock market yesterday had something to do with this, but the settle ment growing out of the clearances In the contracts to deliver the United States Steel stocks, when Issued, was a special factor. This involved the adjustment of transactions In over SiiO.ooO shares. The preparation of the certlllcates of the United States Steel stocks made possible actual oeuveries, so mat operators wnom me clearings showed to bo long stock found themselves eniled unon yesterday ror a settlement. The easier money In London today lessened the demand for exchange and thn rate for sterling yielded a fraction. tho sub-treusur.v was a debtor at the clearing house today to the amount of $1,509,537 on account of tho payment by tho I'ostoiuco department to railroads tor mo transportation of malls. "Yesterday's heavy liquidation ylso caused some natural relief to tho money market. Thero was not lack ing a suspicion that yesterday's violent relup'u was winked nt If not connived ut by sold-out bull leaders either to enable mem to get 111 nl lower prices or to shake out u weak following and relievo tho con dition of overspeculatlon. Tho bond market was moderately active and lower. Total sales, par value, J3.905, 00. United Slates old 4s, coupon, advanced i per cent on the last cull.

Tho chief Interest was In the American department, which was moder ately busy. The American shares opened cautiously, people having been scared by tho relapso In New York yesterday, but It soon was realized that the drop was In finitesimal when compared with tho recent advance and a general quiet buying move ment set in. This was encouraged by the opening In New York nnd tlio appearance hero of American support. Tho close was cheerful nnd ut tho top prices of tho day. Tho Northern Paelllc Issues were tho lead ing feature here. Rerlln neglected them, favoring Erics.

The bull: of tho receipts today were inado up or hcer steers, nnoui Hcventy-iivo cars being on sale. The quality of the offerings as a whole was better than for some tlmo pnst, and as high as Jo.45 was paid. PacK ers started out early and bid good, steady to stroncr nrlces for all tho desirable grades. and as a result the cattle changed bunds nt 11 rapid rate. Even tho warmed-up ciiiuo sold to tho packers today In the. majority of cases, ns they bid higher than tho specu lators. Although some sales were miido today that looked higher than yesterday's prices, taking quality Into consideration, the market could best be described by call ing It simply a strong, nctlve market. The supply of butcher stock was small today In proportion to the total receipts, nnd for that reason competition wns active on nil deslrublo bunches, lllds wero gen erally steady with yesterday, and In some eases stronger. It was a good, active mar ket, und everything wns out of llrst bunds In good season. Bulls, calves nnd stugs also sold In good shape today, prices being fully aa good ns they were yesterday. There wns not much cliunge today In tho situation In stock cattle. In some cases the market looked a llttlo stronger, hut ns a rule It could not be quoted nny higher than yesterday. The trade, however, had moro llro to it today than it did yesterday and anything at all desirable met with ready sale. Tho common cattle were hard to move, the same as has been the caso all along.
