May being Vo higher and July up o; May corn closed fcc lower, with oata on 4irkC- Provisions were eay, the May product cloning irom 24c to 4c lower. A severe break occurred In wheat at tb opening due to Improved weather condi tion and to the liidirr.rence wlih which yesterday' advance here w-aa received abroad. Initial sales on May Showed a de cline of He to 14c at 76c to 7c, and July was off 4Jo to '.yc at TlVttdViC There was quite general selling for a time and the market was decidedly weak, but later local traders turned buyers and a better tone de veloped, Influenced to a large extent by small receipts and continued reports of damage to the European crop. Toward noon the market became quiet and prices eased off, May declining to 76re and July to 704c A sharp advance occurred during the lat hour on heavy buying by the Ar mours, who are said to have added nearly 8.0oo,UiO bushels to their line, the most of today's purchases consisting of the July delivery. A good export demand was also an Influential factor late In the day. After selling up to 774c, May closed 4c higher at 774c; July touched il7,c and closed ..' higher at ?milfcc.

May delivery was little uffected and ruled weak the greater part of the session; July was In better demand and was rela tively firmer than the nearby month.

Local receipts were 88 cars. Provisions were quiet and the market ouleter: with considerable selling for for eign account. A decline of from 8c to 10c In the price of hogs was an early depress ing feature. Stock yards people did most of the buying with covering by shorts May . pork closed at $17.96.

NEW YORK aTOCKS AMD BOXDS. Saeealatlve Activity Resamed When Manhattan Find Rapport. NEW YORK. April 16. The speculative activity which developed yesterday and was Interrupted by the announcement oi the refusal of the demands made by the Manhattan FJevated Rirllroad employes wss renewed today, when support was forthcoming for Manhattan. It waa hoped that the labor difficulty on the elevated system would be adjusted without resort to a strike, and this induced some snort covering In the stock. When it waa per ceived that the market was to be exempt for the present from the dlsturbanoe of a droD In this stock ODDortunltv waa taken to start an upward movement on the part of a speculative party which is Dcuevea to have covered Ita short contracts on the recent slumn and to have rone long of the market. Their operations were consplcuou In Baltimore & Ohio on the ground or tna large Increase In net earnings disclosed by the March settlement. Pennsylvania and Norfolk & Western were Included In the operation under this leadership. Other eastern trunk lines and coalers allowed some avmnathv. but the buying In these and elsewhere In the market could not be traced to the same aources a the move ment In the Pennsylvania group. Early In the day, with the exception of the good absorption of Missouri Pacific, based on Its large February earnings, the .western and Pacific stock were Inclined to bang back. Some suspicion was felt aa to the character of the selling In Union Pacifio and St. Paul. The testimony regarding the finance of the Metropolitan Street Rail w a" In the hearing of a suit against the presi dent foK libel, resulted also In some Belling of the stock In the early dealings and a slightly sympathetic depression.

At the start packers w.re bidding fully a dime lower and the first sale were made on that basis. Trading was rather siow at the start, though, as salesmen wanted more money. Later ln the day packers took hold with more life, as they found there were no more hogs than they wanted and also because more favor able reports were received from Chicago. The later sale were 2e better than the early ones and In some cases as much as a nickel of the loss was regained. The close ol the market was very active, so thut an early clearance was made In spite of the slow opening. The bulk of the medium weight hogs sold from 87.06 to 87.10, prime heavies largely from 8".1i to 37.1." and as high as 87.20 was paid. The light stuff sold from 27.06 down.

Buying, though. Was not very brisk and it waa evident that there was a weak undertone to the market. A shipment of Arisona sheep arrived, but they were consigned direct to a local packer and not offered on the market. Some clipped year lings of fairly good quality brojght 36.35 nnd clipped lambs sold at $5.90. Some spring lambs weighing 40 pounds went at 37.00T The quality of the offerings was nothing extra and, while the more desirable grades sold about steady, the common stuff waa undoubtedly a little lower. There was no Dartlcular rhanaro In th feeder situation. Supplies were light and so was the demand.

Speculation was quiet during most of tne day and seemed to consist al most entirely of professional operations, partaking ot an evenlng-up character; the declining tendency waa largely due to ru mors concerning shipments of cotton to this point for delivery on May Hnd July con tracts, should such lie required; nothing very oefinlte developed along this line, but It was stated that some 2.0i) bales had al ready been shipped here from Liverpool, with more to follow, both from there and from Bremen, in case ot another advance. These reports were met with Incredulity ln some quarters, but the bull clique seemed perfectly willing to allow prices to slide back possibly to discourage shipments In this direction and their actions encouraged Ihe room to go short. Other news was not particularly Important, but had a bearish average. Port receipts were 9,006 bales, against 8,863 last year. Weather conditions remain favorable.
