CHICAGO, April !(. Bpertilatlnn In
grains was of an erratic nature again to
iy. Doubts as to the possible effect of
Uie Itrltlsh Import duties on breadstulTs
mixed the wheat trade early and other In
luenre prised down prices somewhat,
ahlle a break at St. Louis hurt corn there,
lust before the close, however, wheat be
tan to skyrocket and corn tailed after.
May wh.'at closed ltyOtlHc higher, May
corn. c up and May oats c advance;
provisions gtilnt-d a shade to lic.
Karly business In wheat was somewhat
Jemorallzed. The crowd did not know how
to Interpret the new lfrttish duties and
larlv deals were a matter of guess work.
Kaltis had fallen west and Inclined specu
lators to the bear side. Northwestern re
;eipts. however, were almost nothing; and
.he cash demand at Minneapolis was much
nipioved, Iwcause nearly everything was
M,n..rijiH itiifon im f'nrn wm weakening.
Ind as advices from Ixtndon stated that1
Olivers would pay the outies inrnugn au
ist and after that the duties would be
lgured In the contracts, the crowd turned
to settle. Mav wheat opened unchanged
:o a shade hlaher at 72V- to 724c touched
f2'ic and sold off to 72c. There was a
irest discrepancy In cables. Liverpool
arljr cables were ns much as c higher
ind closing He lower. Inndon - prices
ranged , lower to 2ViC higher. It was
innounced that colonial as well as foreign
wheat must pay the tax. It was assumed
by the trade that export business would
oe upset for some time owing to the tax
neasure. After the weakness In corn wore
iwav romewhit and the fair weather re
sorts were offset to some degree by crop
Ssmngn reports, heavy buying set in.
Hradslreet reported a decrease of 3.3S4.oO
ushela 111 the visible supply. Commission
louses had good orders and shorts cov
ired fre'-ly. The general sentiment turned
rery bullish and the opinion prevailed that
:he slight wettings the winter crop Is get
ting at times helps It hut little. I,ate
lamage reports scsred the crowd bndly
ind in the half hour before the close May
sas shoved up 2c from ita low price for
he day and brought 74c, May closed
itrong. lMile higher at 7Trfi7Jc. Local
receipt were 44 cars. one of contract
trade; Minneapolis and Duluth reported
jnly ninety cars, making a total for the
ihree points of 134 cars, against 235 last
seek and 434 a year ago. "Trlmary receipts
were 251,000 bushels, compared to 3fi9.uu"
oushels a year ago. Seaboard clearances
In wheat and flour equaled 2t2.000 bushels.
Corn shorts were subjected to hard
'liieejilng todaT. There was plenty of
ituff for sale early on the break of 2c at
8t. Louis. The situation was almost the
jpposlte of yesterday. Kansas City denied
a report of a sale of 300.000 bushels cash
tnd the southwest turned weak generally.
Although cash stocks were practically
r,one at the two southwestern markets,
there was not sufficient demand to keep
prices up. The market wu nervous most
3f the any, but gradually bears plucked
it courage and began selling short.' Then
came the bulge In wheat and prices
lumped upward again as the shorts tried
n cover. Action was very Irregular, but
the business transacted was not heavy.
May corn opened c higher to Vie lower
it '"i to 6lc, slumped to Gl4c, then ad
vanced to 63c, where it closed strong, lo
higher than yesterday's close. Receipts
STcre S2 cars.
Oats held to better prices In sympathy
with other grains. There was fair buying
nf May and the new grade of July. Cora
mission houses helped In a small advance.
Local bears were not sellers, but trade was
only moderately active and the larger re
ceipts and better conditions for sown oats
retarded advances somewhat. May sold
between 42o and 43c and closed firm, He
Higher at 4;ic. Receipts were 232 cars.
Provisions were strong early on the bull
ish hog situation. Packers were large
buyers of pork and ribs and the outside
bought liberally for Investment. Offerings,
auch as they were, came out principally
'or profits and were quickly taken up. To
ward the close prices eased somewhat, but
the tone was-generally strong. May pork
told st 117 and closed 10c up at $lt.924,
May lard closed a shade higher at $9.75tf
7?Vi and May ribs uiTHo up at $9.17Mi
1.20.

HEW YORK STOCKS AMD BOXD9.
Trade Dimensions In Soathern Rail
way Breaks All Stork Records.
NEW YORK, April 15. The dimensions
Of the trading In Southern railway atocks
today eclipsed any ever before seen on the
New York exchange. The total number of
snares of common stock outstanding is
$1,200,000. The dealings recorded in the
stock today were to the number of 864.&U0
shares. On April 24, 1901, Union Pacific
was dealt In to the extent of 662.800 shares
during the struggle between the Morgan
and Harriman interests In the transconti
nental field. That figure was far In excess
of any previous day a dealings In a single
stock until today. The tremendous volume
or these dealings dwarfed the rest or the
market, and yet there were a number of
other atocks In which the dealings were
on a scale only seen during periods of
great speculative activity.
1 ne opening in soutnern Railway was
quiet enough . and the opening bulge In
Louisville & Nashville to nearly 4 points
over last night awakened some momentary
skepticism or tne over nignt reports or a
settlement of the dispute for control of
Louisville & Nashville. But the parties
In Interest were already In consultation
when the stock market opened and there
was a scurrying of brokers from the neigh
borhood of the consultation rooms. Imme
diately buying orders opened In Southern
Railway for seemingly unlimited amounts
of the stock.
The movement In stock did not become
wild at any time. In spite of the extreme
advance of 6 points to 40. The reaction
ary tenaency or Louisville & Nashville
was also a convincing demonstration that
the struggle for that stock had terminated
and the scramble to get out by the smaller
operators wno naa loiiowea tne aeal car
ried it down by successive stages to 125;
tne last price, nowever, ten it at 127, a
net Ions of only a point.
southern Railway surrered at the last
from thi profit-taking on the part of the
professional element, which bought the
stock recklessly, but were aDDarentlv not
disposed to remain in It over night In face
or tne many possiDie contingencies etui
open In the situation. The reaction car
ried Southern Railway back to 37-V and it
closed only 1 higher at a net gain of .
The preferred stock gained 3 per cent.
The extent of the publlo information
when the stock market closed was con
tained in the formal statement by the
Gates element that they had bought con
trol of Louisville & Nashville and that
they proposed to leave the settlement of
the dispute to J. P. Morgan & Co. as arbi
ters. This was accepted as conclusive evi
dence that Southern Railway would be
benentea by tne settlement.
The movement In Illinois Central and In
Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville were
directly in sympatny witn tnat In South
ern Railway. It waa supposed that Illi
nois Central would be allowed to share In
the benefit of the Louisville absorption,
and that Chicago, Indianapolis & Louis
ville will form a connecting link to Chi
cago. The very large buying of St. Paul
was supposed to be due to a renewal of the
campaign for a rise by the element that
bought Louisville. There was some
strength In the other Grangers and Pa
cifies and In Pennsylvania and Baltimore
& Ohio.
Amalgamated Copper advanced at one
time over a point, but did not hold It.
There were notable advances In special
ties here and there. International Power
rising nearly 12 points. But there were
also points of weakness and outside of the
congested centers or activity there waa
notable demand for stocks.
There was some stiffening of the rate
again, but the continued calmness of the
money market throughout the day relieved
the apprehension that was felt lest the
enormous speculation should develop a
stringency. The easing of the exchange
market Indicates that borrowing in foreign
markets was freely resorted to. General
considerations received little attention.
The market closed Irregular under realis
ing. The bond market was Irregular. Total
sales, par value, S4.O29.00O. Bonds were
all unchanged on the last call.

CATTLE There was a good average
Tuesday's supply of cattle hero today, and
while the market waa not what would be
called brisk, still there were no very
radical changea In prices, and the bulk of
the desirable grades of both killers and
feeders sold at right around steady prices
as compared with yesterday.
There was about the usual proportion
of beef steers included In the receipts this
morning, and the quality was quite satis
factory. Packers did not take hold with
as much life as they generally do, and the
trade was rather slow. Sellers were holding
for steady prices and would not cut loose
until they were bid right close to what
they considered steady prices. The situa
tion could probably be best described by
calling the market slow, but nearly steady..
The cow market was also slow and the
tendency was to pound the market wher
ever possible. In some vases the more
desirable grades sold at steady prices, but
as a rule sellers found it a hard proposition
to get yesterday's quotations. The common
and medium gradea, in particular, were
hard to move at steady prices, and the
morning was well advanced before a clear
ance was msde. .
Veal calves of good quality sold at steady
prices, but the feeling on bulls and stags
was a little weak. The market waa slow
except where the quality was good.
The stocker and feeder trade was also
rather devoid of activity. Good to choice
gradea sold without much trouble at steady
prices, but the same as has been the case
all along, the undesirable grades were very
hard to move at any price, and the ten
dency of prices Is undoubtedly downward.
There has been very little trade from the
country- so far this week, and yard traders
think that farmers are too busy with their
spring work to come to market now, and
they Took for a light demand until the rush
of spring work is over with. Representa

HOGS The receipts were llbersl this
morning, but so also wss the demand end
ns a result the market ruled active and
stronger from start to finish. Heavy hogs
were in the best demand, the same as
usunl, and sold strong to a big nickel
higher and In some cases sales were msde
that vers a dime higher. The lightweights
were neglected the same as usual and In a
good many cases were no more than
steady. Although receipts were liberal
practically everything was out of flrst
hands In good season-end the last sales
were fully as high as those made earlier in
the day. Heavy hogs sold largely from
86 95 to $7.10 and as high as $7.15 was paid.
1 ne meoium weights went mostly trom
$6.85 to $6.95 and the lighter loada sold from
o.w aown. todays advance carries the
market to the highest point of the year
and also the highest point since 1893. Rep
resentative sales:

SHEEP There was a generous supply of
sneep ana tamos nere toaay, tnougn tne
bulk of the offerings was msde up of
lambs. Buyers took hold in good shape
and bought up the sheep at good strong
prices and In some cases sales were made
that looked a little higher. The quality to
day was nothing extra which, of course,
had a somewhat depressing effect on the
marke and made the sales on paper look
rather lew. Practically everything on sale
was disposed of In good season.
The trade on lambs was rather slow and
the feeling was undoubtedly wesk. Some
sales were steady and others a shade lower.
Receipts for some time have been quite lib
eral on lambs but light on sheep, so hst
buyers are not ss anxious for lambs as
they are for sheep.
Quotations for dipped stock: Good to
