CHICAGO. April 4. Bearish crop sdvlce prevailed In grain speculation today and rnrkl luminal other strengthening influ ences to depress prices. Trade was drag ging at times, but prices, fluctuated nerv- ejsiy. May wner.r. cioseo. -..(i ionn, j rum ek.4A.c rlciireKsed and Mav oats He up. Provisions closed unchanged to 63"Hc lower. Wheat had only a momentary rupite from bearish news. Tlie opening was lower on the fa.tr weather, lower cable and Rood crop advices. Belated shorts had tuff for Bale, and bears grew more con fident. At the early low prices elevator Interests bought heavily on May and July- very close to 2,110,090 bu. ana me maraei hmin to niivatifH. The shinning demand vu Improved and shorts covered, sending May up to 714c, after opening VaV" lower at Wvfa'nc. At this point, however, the crowd turned aellera again. The Ohio state wheat crop report Indicated a condition nf T4, against 62 on March 1. This was taken a partial confirmation of yesterday s bearish crop reports ana pressea on prices. Corn was slow and exerted little influ ence on wheat, but the wheat bears sold aarrresslvelv on all the hard spots and suc ceeded In getting May down to 70c. Some of tha later selling was supposed to be for she elevators that bougnt early. May closed only easy, hue. lower, at 70c. I.ocal IrecelDts were 21 cars, none of contract grade; Minneapolis and Duluth reported 216 rrars. making a total lor me tnree poinis of 237 cars. There were no comparisons, Jhia clay last wek and a year ago having been holidays. Primary receipts were small at 299.000 bu. Seaboard clearances In wheat and flour equaled 648,000 bu. Argentine tshlpments for the week were 1,136.000 bu., compared with 1.244,000 bu. last week and Jl,696,0i)0 bu. a year ago. The seaboard re ported 26 loads taken for export. Corn was dull and dragging most of the laesslon. Fair weather and advices to the effect that farm work was progressing sat isfactorily brought selling orders from the "commission houses, especially for the out side account. There was some support of September, and the small receipts helped retard the decline. Cables were lower and the cash demand Inactive. These, together with the lato wheat decline, continued to weaken corn, and May sold down from fcSTsc to 687c, and closed weak, lower, at 69M.C. Receipts were only 63 cars. Oats were dull and fluctuated very nnr Towly. The only feature to the trade was he fact that oats held their own fairly "well against the corn decline. The cash demand was good and receipts were light. There was fair early buying on the opin ion that May is to be advanced. May sold CtVfcn and closed steady, too up, at 42c. Hecelpts were 78 cars. Provisions showed some activity, but It "was mostly of the downward sort. Hogs (Were weaker and started fair selling. The Dutslda liquidated liberally and stop-loss girders were met. The cash situation was tame. The only flr show of strength was that of lard, which was supported some what by packers. May pork closed 64j'7Hc lower at S16.37Vtfil6.40, having sold as low as $16.30; May lard closed ZVfcc down at 9.67'4, and May ribs unchanged at $8.87H- Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, tS cars; corn, 85 cars; oats, 70 cars; hogs, WjOOO head.

Specalatora Take Hold of Market and Raslnesa Shows F.tTeet. NEW YORK. April 4-Todny s stock market gave unmistakable evidence of a substantial recruiting of the speculative element. The movement was a good deal of a mystery both as to Its, motive and as to the Identity of the operators. Stock market gossip attributed It to the snme group of western capitalists to which many recent movements have been attrib uted and which has been supposed to be concerned In the present large speculative operations In the grain markets. The day's operations were on a far larger scale than anything In the recent history of the stock market. The deallnes In St. Paul and Union Pacific were vividly reminiscent of the days of the boom of Inst year. If the dealings In these stocks are added to those in iulsvllle ft Nashville, and In Southern Pacific, It will be found that considerably more than one-third of the day's aggregate transactions are accounted for. It was not until late In the day. In fact, that much Impression was made upon other portions of the list. Such stocks as the New York public utilities, New York Central and Pennsylvania were then hrouaht forward with spasmodic advances. In the Anal hour selling to take profits made heavy Inroads upon prices and reduced all of the principal gains to fractional limits. The market closed dull but steady. There waa no news to sccount for the sudden demand for stocks, sltnough rumors were plenty point Ing to a fresh adjustment In the transcon tlnental railroad systems. Rather, the movement seemed based unon an assumu tlon, a time of doubt and uncertainty over me outcome 01 me year wnicn is prac tically past, with the largest requirements npon the money market showed to be met, and with the crops assured of a good con dition from the winter to start the season with. To account for any such total of sales as those recorded In the principal ac tive stocks todsy allowance must be mndc for tne sale and resale many times of Iden Ileal holdings. The general reaction at the end of the day also points to the tentative character of the speculation. There was active realising among the specialties re cently advanced, conspicuously Sugar and Colorado Fuel. Neither was there lucking the wide advances In obscure specialties which have recently characterized the market. There was no change in the situ ation of the money market except as Indi cated by a loss of cash by the banks for the week of over $3.00o,0io to the suh treasury, which Is offset by a gain on the Interior movement of less than a million dollars. The firmness of sterling exchange and the further decline in Paris rates of sterling point to exports next week. The local money market was quiet, however, and the forecast of the bank statement made little Impression on the stock mar ket. There was an active demand for bonds for which there was a good open Ciarket all day. Total sales, par value 5.280,000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call.

As compared with the close of last week the market Is not more than strong to a dime higher. Trade waa slow today from start to finish and It waa rather late before a clearance was made. For the first time In a long while the cow market was also rather draggy. The tendency of prices has been steadily up ward and yesterday was the high point of the year to date and for several years Dast. Today, however, the wire edge seemed to be off of the trade, and buyers took their time about buying up what was of fered. In some places the market looked about steady, but in others It was safely a dime lower. There wits not so much change in the canners and medium grades aa they have been selling to poor advan tage for several weeks. Bulls, veal calves and stags were no more than steady today, and not particu larly active. There was very little here today with which to make a test of the Blocker and feeder market. There were practically no good, heavv feeders on sale, and as the de mand for the common and lightweight stuff has been extremely poor all the week there waa no Improvement In the situation toilav LJght, common cattle are almost unsalable an1 m laglrkn man It a ira Vvaah . . i . i . their shippers to hold such kinds for the .Representative sales; BEEP" STEERS.
