PROVISION GAINS OFFSET LOSSES Wheat Valors Dip and III, bat Finally Close Down and fr'laarrs 1 la Cora and Oats Suf fer Shrinkage. CHICAGO, April 2S. It wss bail weather for the bull-traders In grains today. Al though the reports Indicated diminishing Supplies of old wheat and offering In corn were ait 1)1 light, tha crops were receiving too much benefit from the seasonable weather to allow prices to hold advances. These variant factors, however, caused several rapid changes of sentiment. In the end July wheat lost Wo, July corn c and July jata Stfc. provisions closed lower to 2rc higher. Trade In wheat was only fairly active, though the frequent change of front of the speculators made the tension somewhat marked. At the opening the news of gen eral rains In the principal wheat states, ex cept Kansas, started wheat at a liberal decline from Saturday's closing prices. The southwest sold liberally and helped hold jirlces back. The situation, however, for some time seemed to favor tha bulls. Cables were higher, primary receipts were still light, showing rapidly decreasing stocks, and the northwest bought well of cash stuff and started an advance. Prices worked up a little and were helped considerably by the remarkable decrease In the visible sup ply 3.V92.0HO bushels. On the strength of this last Influence July rose to TBc, after opening Vd'Hc to Vac lower at 7dtr7aSc. The pit crowd, however, was considering the heavy world's shipments and the gen eral weather situation and fought hard against the advance. When reports of n6re liberal offering!. In the northwest by the farmers and of rains in Kansas ar rived there was a renewal of the soiling movement that had weakened the market at the opening. Prices steadily declined, with active and heavy selling at times, 4intll July reached 75c. A show of an Im provement In receipts (though they are still small) had a bearish effect. July .closed weak. lfilHc lower at 754c. Local "receipts were 23 cars, 1 of contract grade; Minneapolis and Duluth reported 1230 cars, making a total for the three points of 263 cars, against 237 last week and S57 a year ego. World's shipments were 8,963,000 bushels, compared with 7.47O.0UO last week and 7,794, Coo a year ago. Primary receipts were 82,OiiO bushels, against 625,010 last year. Kreadstuffs on passage decreased 6-12,010 bushels. Seaboard clearances In wheat and flour equalled 268,000 bushels. Trade In corn hinged on the action of the leading bull crowd. Influential buying pre vented this cereal from following the course of wheat, although the break In the other ilt eventually hud Its effect. At the open ing prices were very steady and practically no attention was paid to the general rains In the southwest and to the unresponsive cables. Offerings were very small and were readily taken as prices advanced. The leading house that Is supposed to be carrying twice the amount of corn In ac tual existence, did good buying and sent July prices from 63Sc to 6c. Trade was lather quiet Hie greater pai t Of the Ses sion, but as wheat weakened there was anme active short selling, and prices slipped off. The marked feature of the market was the good show of strength at the close In spite of the bearish weather conditions, (September closing c higher. July closed ic down at 63',-jc. Receipts were Improved .. at 1(4 cars. Interest in May oats relieved the mo notony of a quiet market and helped up liold the other options. There was fair buying of the bear option -and prices ad vanced somewhat. The generous rains, tiowever, have increased the prospects of the coming crop and as receipts grew larger and wheat and corn weakened oats receded. The cash article was In good de mand, but there was something of a dispo sition to keep out of the market until the possibility of a corner In May is past. May Mold to 43ifi43l4c and closed firm 4c up at YiVc. July new closed lower at 37c. Receipts were 193 cars. The provision market was manipulated again by packers today for higher prices. The early tendency was to sell on the eraln situation and for profits. Ilrokers at once began buying for packers, especially of lard and ribs, and prices fluctuated ner- Vouslv. Offerings bv scalners. as well by packers, became liberal after the price tlad been pushed up and on an absence of any urgent demand and the wheat break most of the early gains were lost. The hoar market was strong. July pork closed Ho lower ai nivt, arier selling ai 117.I1V1; July lard 2c up at $10.10 and July rib-, a anaue mgner hi eB.tiwri'v.ou.

The tone of the market was halt ing and the movement in prices was not unitorm. The predominant movement- while It failed to embrace the whole list, . Itself hanged ft number of times during the day. The failure of the conference committee of the miners and operators to agree on terms on Saturday was a dl-' ppolntment and the tone of the comment of the par ties to the conferer"e created a dlsagree- bie impression. 1 1 result was free sen na of Reading In the open dealings, which 1 noted the whole market. This weakness was overcome by a strong advance In some of the high-priced coalers. The part played In the market by the high-priced stocks, of which the floating upply is very small, was notable ana heir wide movements resulted from a light volume of transactions. as tne upward mgnt or Delaware Hudson and of New Jersey Cen- ral rallied the Readings. aa did the spurt In the Chicago & Northwestern stocks gave some strength to the Grangers and Pacifies. St. Paul was lifted two points over last night and there were gains of one to two points among the southwest- ems. The sains were not well held, however. and there were constant relapses when the market was allowed to become quiet. New York. New Haven Hartford was an other of the high-grade stocks to move, but it saved only a point of its seven-point advance. Among the industrial specialties there were wide advances in Pullman, Interna tional Power, American Express, Pressed Steel Car Preferred. Railway Steel Spring and some others which are even more act ive. Cotton Oils, Virginia-Carolina Chem ical and American Agricultural Chemical were advanced on talk of consolidation. Colorado Fuel and Tennessee Coal were bid up late In the day as the local trac tions had been earlier, but relapsed again without much effort on the general mar ket. The varvlnc movement In the grain mar ket was reflected from time to time in the stock market, but not In a decisive way. The usually active industrials were quite generally heavy. United States Steel seemed to reflect dis approval of the bond Issue. The firmness of foreign exchange reawakened discussion of probable gold exports, but the money market was unaffected. The market closed dull and easy. The bond market was moderately active and strong. Total sales, par vslue, 34,045,- 000. United States bonds were all un changed on the last call.

As com pared witn tne same day or last year there Is not much change. The demand was In fairly good shape, so that trading was active at fully as good prices as were paid at the close of last week. Beef steers again made up the bulk of the offerings and the quality waa good on the whole. The' demand waa liberal from local packers and also some outside pack ers were on the market. The desirable grades could safely be quoted strong and lulte a little higher. It waa onlv a ahnrr time Deiore tne duik or tne good cattle was out of first hands. The commoner grades of course did not move as freely, but still they sold for fully as much as the same kinds brought laat week. The cow market waa not particularly active and could probably best be described by calling It steady. Buyers took their time about looking at the offerings, but as supplies were not large practically everything was disposed of In good season. The good stuff moved without much trouble, but the commoner grades dragged more or less ths same as usual. As com pared with the close of last week there was not enough change in the prices paid to be worthy of mention. Bulls, veal calves and stags sflso sold In just about last week's notches. There was n rainy gooa aemana ior ine better grades, but the common kinds were neglected. . There was not very much life to the stocker and feeder trade this morning. There was very little good stuff on sale, but the few that were offered sold at Just about steady prices. The common kinds were in light demand and sold slowly at about last weak's quotations.
