WHEAT, OATS AND CORN ALL GO UP Provisions D(U Barely Steady, M7 Fred arts Closing larktifti to Twt Bad Half Lower o Day's Baslaees. CHICAGO, April 15. Bull.sh foreign sd vleee caused strength In wheat today and May closed bc higher, with July aiso up V4j '4c. May corn m c high-'r and oaia SwVjc better. Provisions were barely steady, the May products closing unchanged to 24c lower. - . Wheat ruled active, with covering by horta one of the principal features, open ing prlcea were airong on higher caoies and on amall receipt, May being 4'u4c higher at V74f774c and July 4B4c higher at 714fe714c. At the atari the Northwest waa Inclined to sll July and commission houaea sold both May and July, which re aulted In a amall decline. May seiniiH oiT to 764c and July down to 71c. Tha leading long replenished tils holding at the low figure and the maricet readily responded to the demand and turned strong again. The higher outside market, and the bulllxh for eign newa, combined with a good export de mand, gave shorts considerable cause for alarm and there waa a ttrm demand from that aourca throughout the greater part of the day and prlcea held decidedly strong. After selling up to 774c May closed V(4c higher at 7i'4c, while July closed with a ?ain of 4&4c at 714ti'714c, after touching 2c. Clearances of wheat and Hour were equal to 214,100 bu; primary receipts were Uti.tuO bu., against 2M,o bu. a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts of 134 cars, which, with local receipt of 4 care, 1 of contract grade, made total receipta for the three polnta of 138 cais, against lift) cara last week and 144 cars a year ago. Trading In corn was active and the vol ume of business waa fairly large, with covering by ahorta the feature. Wet weather, present and prospective, and a good cash and commission house demand were the main bull factors. Tha strength In wheat waa also a factor later in the dav. Closing prlcea were near the top, with May Sc higher at 444c, after selling between 444c and 444c. Local recelpia were 64 cars, none of contract grade. There waa a moderate amount of trading In oate, with quite general commission house business early, but later the market developed Into largely a local affair, here was more pressure on May than July, the latter being Influenced by fears for the new crop due t the late seeding. Thu strength In wheat and corn was a support ing feature, as were the small receipts. The close was strong, with May Va4 higher at 33V&334c, after ranging between 334c and 334c. Local receipts were 54 cars. Provisions were dull and featureless and prices had a somewhat easier tendency, aue to the lower hog market. Packers snowed a disposition to support tha market on all weak spots. Closing prices were steady, with May pork 24c lower at 87.974; May lard unchanged at 19.80, and ribs wre oft 2Vc at f9.74. Estimated receipts for tomorrow W heat, 20 cara; corn, 65 cara; oats, 90 cars; hogs, 21,000 head. Tha leading futures ranged aa follows: ArUcles.l Open. High. Low.

Boalneaa Nearly Stagnant, Barely Half Million Shares (hsnglag Hands. NEW YORK. April 15. The notable fea ture of today's stock market was the de cided drop In the volume of business. Ag gregate sales for the day barely reached otO.ojO, compared whh over 80o,u00 shares .yesterday and 1,250,000 on Monday. There was some demand to cover thorl contracts today, but there was a. so evidence of l.qul dat on of a substantial but not at a 1 a piec.pltate character. As prices reached a nlfe her level there was the Inevitable sell ing which always follows a violent decline by lucky traders who got la at the bottom and are quick to take profits, and aiso n the part of the buyers Oi a more Influe.itla. character, wj)3 bought on inc decline to eupport the market and to reassure senti ment, with the purpose of preventing need less sacrlrice of values. There was a .argj amount of this kind of liuylng on Mi nd y and yesterday morning during the s.ruggli to turn the market upward. The fact that Northern Securities on the euro, aUhoumn qu;et, ruled at a level below last night's c.of all day was an additional incentive to caution on the long 4.oe. Nevertheless there was considerable buying at different points In the list of seemingly good ch r acter and based on Individual causes. Mis souri Pacific was well taken all day on Its report of net earnings fo. February, show ing an Increase over Feoruary of last year of $3 3,7,8, wh ch is no !es than 79 per cent Increase. Tho other members of the Goul I group moved In sympathy. Baltimore & Ohio report for March showed an Increase in net earnings of 34 per cent and was l'reeiy bought in consequence. Norfolk & Western moved up in sympathy ana was helped also on rumors of a propoteJ In crease In the dividend rate. The annual meeting of the New York Central itick holders without any action toward the ne? Mock issue and without ar.yth.ng to con firm allegations of a cnange In control re lieved some anxiety and naa a favorabl9 influence. Among the industrials Sugar ha I lilt, advantage of an advaice In ih ,e tined product. Ice prefer. ed reflected reports of an acquisition In Baltimore, Metropoli tan Stn.ec Railway responded to rumors that the question of Investigation of its linances by the local municipal authorities was decided In the negative, an advance In the London copper market helped Amalga mated. Llverpcoi operations were manl iest In United States Leather stocks. A r umber or the Iron and steel Industrials were lncl ned to advance also. The lone o! the whole market changed late In the cay. when Manhattan began to run off on the news that the demands of the employes had been refused. The general marke; re acted and In many cases fell beiow Wt night, the Pacifies and Wei tern eto ki being notably affected. Amillli Inactive stocks there was a drn of 27 point In Wesilnghouse Electric (.referred and li points in Fort Worth & Denver City stamped. The money market continued to work easier both for call snd time loans. The subtreasury Is contributing largely to the local money market by reason of the in crease In refunding operations, and the rat of exchange at Interior point indicate a fl iw of currency toward New York. There was a stiffening o foreign exchange rate, nowever, and an advance In di.count rates both In London and Paris. Discussion con tinues very active over the possible bear ings of the Northern Securities decision and the probable stepi wh ch will be take.) In thj event of the clssolution of that cor poration.

The demand, though, wa, of liberal proportions, so that the break In prices was not very serious. The beef steer market opened rather slow and buyers were bidding 5g10c lower than yesterday's general market. It was evi dent, though, that there wbb a icood de mand for the better grades, so that sales men held on for better prices, and In a good many cases they did not have to sell much of any lower than they did yesterday. In other cases, though, they had to take off 6Sj'10c before they could dispose of their cattle. The commoner grades as a general thing suffered the most. Trading wan not very active at any time, but still the bulk of the offerings was disposed of In fairly good season. The cow market did not show much change from yesterday. Owing to the weaker feeling on beet steers cow nuyers did not take hold with quite ss much life, but as a general thing the desirable grades brought right close to steady prices. It there was any meanness at an it was on the less desirable kinds. Bulls, veal calves and stsgs all sold at Just about the same prices that were paid yesterday. The demand for stockers and feeders of good quality waa again quite liberal, so that anything at all decent sold readily In vesterdav'a notches. The Inferior grades. though, were neglected the same as has, been the case lor some time psst. 'mere were not many stock cattle on aale, so an early clearance was made.

Oiher markets were quoted lower, so that selltrs had to take the prices offered, and, although trading waa not par ticularly active, still the bulk of th ar rivals was out of first hands In good season and they sold generally a nickel lower. The medium weights sold largely from 17.15 to 17.20, with the choice heavy weights going from 87.30 to 17.30. The light weights went from 17.16 down. The last end of the market was a little slow and the tendency waa to buy the late arrivals a little easier. Representative sales No. Av. 92 187 66 215 67 204 72 210 83 211 80 223 Sh, Pr. No. Av. Sh.
