CHICAGO. April 30 Wheat was snme-
hat erratic today, but a strong undertone
prevailed snd May cloned c higher, with
July Ho higher. May corn closed He lower
and July was off Mi.c. with May oats
Unchanged. Provision were steady, the
July product cloning a chads lower to 3Vc
higher.
'1 ha action of the Armour Interests In
supporting the market on all weak apoti
wa the feature In the wheat pit and re
aulted In a strong finish. Opening prloea
were easier on the poor showing of the
IJverpool cables, which failed to respond
to the advance here Saturday, and July was
off Mitic at 7iH'a7zvc, while May was a
shade higher to WnSc lower at TlWiVbc
Considerable liquidation occurred the first
half hour but buying by the prominent
long soon started prices upward. The May
delivery waa extremely nervous and trad
ing In that option was light, owing to the
feeling of uncertainty surrounding the sit
uation. A decrease of 8,123.0(10 bushels In
the visible supply, together with a fair ex-
fiort demand, were bullish Influences, the
atter half of the session. After selling
vp to 7K'c May closed c higher at UWt
1nc, while July closed at an advance of
He at 7iTc. after selling to '2lU3c. Clear
ances of wheat and Hour were equal to
4i0,000 bushels. Primary receipts, 375,000
bushels, against 2H5,otio bushels a year ago.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts
of 192 cars, which with local receipts of
86 can 1 of -contract grade made total
receipts for the three points of 2:'8 cars,
against 341 cars last week and 237 cars a
year ago.
Corn was firm at the opening under the
Influence of a good communion house de
mand, together with covering by shorts,
the wet weather, small receipts and higher
cables being the strengthening factors.
Later In the day selling by scalpers re
sulted In a decline, the market lacking any
material support. Closing prices were
easier, May being off V.c at 44c. after
selling between 44c and 444c. July closed
HfrHc lower at 44c, ranging between 444o
nd 44'(i(4nc. Local receipts were W cars,
I of contract grade. '
Oats were active and firm at the start,
due to good receipts and wet weather, but
later the market eased off under heavy
profit-taking by May holders. Shorts cov
ered freely at the outset and there was
good general buying by commission houses
on outside orders. A fair commission house
demand prevented anv serious declines and
the close wss steady, May being unchanged
at MVc, after selling between S4To and
tbc. lAcal receipts were 162 cars.
Provisions were dull, but held fairly
steady. Opening prices were easier on
lower hog market, but covering by local
shorts and an Improvement In prlcea at
the yards resulted in a firmer feeling. July
pork closed a shade lower at 17.6(Xa 17.824;
July lsrd was 2Vfcc higher at 8S.95, and ribs
were iSfrc higher at M.7748.80.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow. Wheat,
45 cars; corn, 80 cars; oats, 210 cars, hogs,
19,000 head. .

KEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS.
Market Wnlta on Conrt's Securities
Decialon, Casting Heavy Buying.
NEW YORK. April 20 There was much
hesitation and Irregularity In today's stock
market. This tendency was attributed In
the early part or the session t" the dread
that the United States circuit court at St.
Paul would refuse the petition of the
Northern Securities company to modify the
decree against the company, pending the
appeal, so as to allow the payment of divi
dends by the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern companies to their stockholders.
The general expectation In Wall street was
that the petition would be refused, and the
unexpected decision In favor of the modifi
cation caused a precipitate buying move
ment, in which tne short Kellers ot tne
forenoon were conspicuous. This advance
met opposition before it had proceeded far
and prices were carried backwards again,
after which the market hung practically
stagnant for a time. The professionals
bid up prices again at the last to the top
level and the market closed steady, with a
showing of net gains teaching a point or
over for a number of the conspicuous lead
ers. As the Northern Securities company
Is the principal stockholder of both the
Oreat Northern and the Northern Pacific,
nd as the chief lunctlon or the securities
company as a holding company la to re
ceive dividends from the constituent com
panies and distribute them to Its own stock
holders, today's modification of the decree
of the court leaves tne muation ot tne
company practically unaffected until the
supreme court Bhall have decided finally
the questions at issue, in tne tear mat
the petition would be denied. Northern Se
curities on the curb sold down to 94 this
morning, which is only a traction above
the lowest prices in the slump of last Mon
day. On the rebound the stock touched
9SH4. Its reaction or over a point was a
dominant. Influence on the reaction tn the
Stock exchange. It recovered and closed
at 99, with continuing effect on the general
market.
The early stock market fluctuated uncer
tainly be. ween the contending influences
of the strength In the Oould group and the
weakness or Keaaing. ine seeming agree
ment of both sides to the Manhattan labor
controversy that a settlement was assured,
and the published rumors that a compro
mise had been effected of the differences
between the Pennsylvania and Wabash in
terests, were Jointly responsible for the
strength In the Oould group. In which Man
hattan was the leader with a riae of 24.
The depressing factor agalnat Reading wus
the invent Nation by the Interstate Com
merce commission, to open tomorrow, of the
coal combination, wnicn is expected to
furnish material which may be available
for use In proceedings under the anti-trust
law. The lockout reported at the Reading
collieries, owing to a dispute over the Sat
urday hours for work, helped to depress
Reading and some of the other coalers, and
th Pennsylvania group lost ground In sym
pathy. In the lste recovery Union Pacific,
St. Paul, New York Central. Baltimore Sc
Ohio and the Gould group were conspicu
ous. The growing ease of money waa an
encouraging factor for the bulls. Possibly
advance knowledge of additional trust com
pany concessions from the clearing house
privileges may have been a factor In the
hesitating tone ot the market, although
no announcement was made on the subject
until after the close of the market.
The hnnd market waa quiet, but quite
steady. Last week's dealings In bonds
reached an aggrrgme 111 me pr vaiue ui
315 445.500, which la a decrease of no less
than 4 per cent, compared with the cor
responding period of last year. Total sales,
par value, $2.45.000. I'nlted States S, cou
pon, and the old 4 declined The new
4s advanced Vi on the last call.

tionally firm. Iter there was a general

NEW YORK, April 20. COTTON The
market opened steady at unchanged prices
to a decline of 4 points under heavy de
mands for the day's receipts and continued
liquiaation, out alter tne decline bad ex
tended another point or two on the active
options the market was rallied by covering,
which resulted In the advance of values
to a level, about I points lower to 2 points
higher as compared with Saturday night's
finals. This proved to be the best price of
the day however, and waa followed by
further liquidation and selling for the short
account, as a result of the favorable
weather noted throughout the south and
indications that tomorrow's port receipts
would again exceed those for the same day
last year, while the volume of exports
showed a decreasing tendency. The decline
was assisted by the weakness In Liver
pool, which at one time wss 4fg5 points
lower and closed ISifaihk points higher.
There was little support In the market and
prices were forced down to a level. 8&15
points below the closing quotations of Sat
urday, with the new crop months showing
the greatest relative firmness. The In
sight for tho week Is being estimated at
115,0110 bales, against :,000 bales last year.
At the low point ot the session, however,
there was consldershle profit-taking by
shorts and the demand from this source
brought about a final rally, which carried
prices upward a matter of about 3ft 6 points
and the market was finally steady, net 10
points lower to '! points higher. Total
sales, estimated, 200.000 bales.

CATTLE There was a considerably
smaller run of cattle here today than was
generally anticipated, and besides that a
good many cari were consigned direct and
not offered on tne market, which further
reduced the number on saie.
Beef steer buyers started out early and
took hold of the better grades In good
shape. The general market could safely be
quoted steady to strong and fairly active,
'the strength and activity, though, were
confined largely to the better trades, as
the part fat cattle were none too brl.sk
and were no more than ateady. The qual
ity of the offerings today was hardly up
to the usual standard, owing to the mod
erate offerings, though, the bulk of tha
arrivals waa disposed ot In good season.
The cbw market showed very little change
from the close of last week. There did not
seem to be any too many to meet the re
quirements of the local demand, and prac
tically everything was disposed of a.t an
early hour and prices showed no quotable
change.
Bulls, veal calves and stags met with
ready sale at last week a closing prices.
The supply of etockers and feeders In the
yards this morning was rather limited, and
as speculators carried over very few from
lost week they were all anxious for fresh
supplies. Anything at all desirable was
soon disposed of at steady to strong prices,
but the commoner grades were neglected,
the same as they have been all along. Quite
a good many warmed-up cornfeds again
sold for feeders. Representative sales:

HOGS Not Including the hogs that were
consigned direct to packers there wss a
very light run here this morning. Chicago,
though, had liberal receipts snd prices
broke at thst point, which, of course, gave
buyers a chsnce to pound the market here
alno. At the start a few of the better
grades Sold at right close to steady price,
but the general market was nearly a nickel
lower. Trading waa not active at any time,
but there were so few on sale that the
market soon rame to a close. The bulk of
the hogs sold around 37.10, or from 87.07V4
to 37.12W. The good heavy weights sol
id
mostly from 37.1-14 to 37.15. The quality
of the offerings today wss not particularly
good, as Is tisuslly the esse on a Monday.

SHEEP Thera was a liberal run of sheep
here this morning, and although other
points were quoted lower prices here held
about steady with last week's decline,
l ackers took hold of the better grades quite
freely and the bulk of that class of stuff
was soon disposed of. The commoner
kinds, though, were slow and draggy with
the tendency ot prices downward. The
better grades were rather scarce, but some
Colorado wooled lambs sold for 86.75, and
some Colorado wooled yearlings brought
35.50. Wooled wethers brought 85.25, and
wooled ewes 34.50.
The demand for feeders waa rather lim
ited this morning, and while good stuff
held steady, common kinds were slow and
weak.
