CHICAGO, April 9.-P.ulllsh news pre Yslled In -rain again tolar and brought fair activity and better prices all around. Liquidation for profits made the markets dip at times anil brought a restless- feel Inn. Bull speculators, however, had tho beat of It, and. continuing the tactlcg of yesterday, brought an advance of 4c In May wheat and WC In both May corn and oats. Trovlalona cloaed 6c to 10c higher. Krw-culatton In wheat waa better thnn for some days paet. Conditions favored the bulla from the atart. Cable were higher, receipts were very small, being only six cara here, two cars at St. Louis and one cir at Duluth, and clearancea were nearly double all receipts. There waa a decided aentlment that the market waa on the up turn and good buying aet In, with some from tho country. Covering augmonted the advance and advices from the southwest that the cold weather waa not helping wheat growth aet many to buying. There were continued reports of decreasing stocks nd Bradstreeta showed the world s visible supply decreased by 2.300,000 bu.. where It was Increased 422,000 bu. last year. Weather over the wheat states Is cold and dry, where the warm and rain seaaon Is due to help make good the previous damage to the winter crop. At times there waa profit taking that brought reactions, but volumin ous buying orders from the southwest, where It seems crop conditions are becom ing worse, brought god rallies. Tradera argued that the speculative demand for fu tures from that section gave confirmation to the damage reports. In spite of the better tone, however, export bids were out of line and the cash business waa not very good. May opened ,gc to Wac higher t 71V to 72c, sold to ii: eased to 1W 7Hio and then spurted to 7ZHc, closing Arm, o up. at Tiysa Tic lcal receipts were six cara, none of contract grade, and Minne apolis and Duluth reported 7B cars, making a total for the three points of only 81 cars, (gainst 3-7 last week and 212 a year ago. Primary receipts were 234.000 bu., compared with 489.000 last year. Seaboard clearances In wheat and flour equaled 433,000 bu., against 2i.9,000 last year. Corn started out with a good show of the strength that put prices up yesterday. Receipts were very small and reports from the southwest started good buying. Kansus City and St. Louis did good buying and their markets were up. Shorts covered freelv and at one time It looked as If there would be a big bulge. Offerlnga at the better prices and fair profit-taking brought repeated dips, which the rallies only barely overcame. The cash demand was murh better, St. Louis selling for shipment 147,000 bu. out of a total stock there of 233.000 bu. Kansas City stocka were reduced 232,000 bu. The temporary loss of the advance In prices aa due largely to an absence of a vigorous demand. The late rally In wheat helped materially. May corn sold early at 6!4 eased to 5ta5fcc and closed barely firm, c up, at SK'SC. Receipts were 23 cars. Oata were quiet, but were aided somewhat by the strength In other grains. Receiving houses were early buyers, but for a time prices eased on a oorn dip. Some support vae given on the news that the Illinois crop had suffered from the cold weather and that murh of It would have to be reseeded. Trade was Indifferent. May sold as low as 42c and closed c higher, at 42V4c. Re ceipts were S3 cars. Provisions held firm against the depress ing Influence of. a weak hog market. Lard and ribs were In good demand on a sup posedly Improved cash situation. Pork at times showed weak spots, but the whole list was supported by packers. May pork closed 6c up at I1S50, May lard 10c higher at J9.90 and May ribs 7V4c advanced at e.90. Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, J5 cars; corn, 36 cars; oats, 106 cars; hogs, 16XK head.

Lnnlavllle and aslivllle Has Second Day of Supremacy In Storks. NEW YORK. April 9. There was a nota ble speculative movement In this stock market today, which is universally at tributed to the actions of a combination of wealthy weftern men, who were Important factors in the constituent companies going to make up the United States Steel corpo ration before It was organized. In ordinary acceptance of the term, there was no news to explain the movement of sIol-ks or the enormous buying which caused it, but the fact was patent that the buyers were pos sessed of practically unlimited resources to transact business on such a scale and also that the faith In them waa strong that they were getting their money's worth. While thire was no actual news accom panying the movement, there was abund ance of rumor, which centered mostly about Louisville & Nashville, which was again the leader of the market In point of activity and sustained strength. The ru mors reached the stage of an alleged formation of a community of Interest pro ject for the whole southern field, which would supposedly take In the Southern rail way, the Illinois Central and possibly minor competing systems. There were minor explanations growing out of the announced policy on the part of the Louisville to extend Into new territory, which Involved the absorption of connecting lines Into Chicago. None of these rumors could obtain any official countenance. There was some credence for a suggestion that the marketing of the new stock just announced had Involved the coalition of a large short Interest In the market, for the relief of which new stock will not be avail able as a delivery until the formalities of listing on the Stock exchange have been complied with. Thin explanation would not apply to the notable broadening of the speculative movement today Into other quarters of the market. Louisville Itself, while occasionally reactionary, forged up to the top level to 6 points over last night In the final dealings, and closed within a shade of that. The Southern railway stocks were also lifted forcibly to the top level at the last. The rest of the market showed the effect of realising at the last and some Important stocks with net losses, notably New York Central,' Manhattan and Chicago North western and Rock Island. Some of the minor railroad stocks which have recently advanced were also sufferers. While a large number of Important stocks were in cluded In the advance, the movement was by no means universal, and many promi nent stocks were neglected and sluggish. United States Steel stocks were still con spicuously so. There was also the usual assortment of violent movements In high-priced Indus trials, which are closely held by concen trated Interests. The electrical stocks and New York Air Brake made wild advances and almost equally sensational relapses. The rise of 6 In New York & New Haven was unexplained. American Snuff's 7-polnt gain was practically all of U made on one Bale. The strength of Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic and in Keokuk & Des Moines had no news to explain it. The late flurry In the call money market was a reminder of the narrow resources of the Dresent money market for supplying any extensive speculative movement, but It did not affect the determined buying of the central element in the speculation. The easier tone of exchange was attributed to renewed borrowing from fore.gners, induced by the present profitable level or interest rates here. A show of strength In the grain markets was eaually without effect in dis couraging the buying of stocks. Some of the active speculative Donas were affected by realizing and the market gen erally was Irregular. Total sales, pur value. $5,635,000.

Pack ers claim that prices here are too high as compared with other points and for that reason are trying to pound this market down in line with others. In a good many cases they succeeded in taking off o10c to day, but in other cases sales looked steady. As a general thing buyers took oft the most on the less desirable grades. Canners and medium cows were as hard to move as ever, and. If anything, were lower. Bulls, veal calves and stags sold at right around steady prices where the quality was satisfactory, but otherwise they were lower. . , . There were not very many stockers and feeders In the yards today, so that any thing at all desirable commanded steady to strong prices. Cattle showing weight and quality are the ones that are In de mand, so that the common and lightweight stuff was very slow sale and hard to move at any price. Representative sales: BEEF tiiut,na. At.

The market seemed to gain In strength as the morning advanced and practically everything was sold at an earlv hour. The quality was better than yesterday, which helps out the average cost and makes the market look higher on paper than It really was. The bulk of the heavy hogs sold from $6.70 to $6.s0 and from that up to $6.90, which la the high point reached this sea son. The medium weights sold largely from $600 to $6.70. while the lighter loads went largely from $6.40 to $6.bU Packers all seemed to be anxious tor the hogs showing weight and quality, but the com mon and lightweight stuff was even harder to dispose of than usual and on such kinds prices were barely steady with yesterday. m-pieaeniauve sales: No. Av. ...113 ...153 ...1M ...166 ...177 ...179 ...1S5 Sh.

In ract there was nothing choice on sale outside of a few Duncnes. Borne lambs of fair quality sold at $6.60 and a bunch of ewes sold at $5.10.
