WHEAT IS ERRATIC, MAY CLOSING HIGHER Cora, Oats and provisions All Drop lightly After Httrr Sales and Generally Aetlvs Bml nees la Pits. CHICAGO, April 27,-Lower price pre vailed on the board of Trade today, but what rallied lale In the day and closed Arm, with May He higher and July up WiJSic. May and July corn were down c. May oats were off c and July VitlV lower. Provisions were weak, the July product -closing irom lo12ViO to 12Vdlc lower. . Trading In wheat was fairly active and prices were rather erratic. High Liverpool cables caused a strong opening, May being Vao higher, at 774fu77Vc, with July Vtl' So to He higher, at ii to 72V72c. Pit traders who had sold short over Sunday were good buyers at the start and with limited offerlnns the market quickly ad vanced. May aelllng up to 77e and July to 728c. Both primary and northwest re ceipts were mors liberal and with Improved conditions this was general commission house aellllng on the advance, which soon .caused a reaction. Irge world'a ship ments were also against the market and at times the selling pressure was quite pro nounced, prices breaking sharply under this influence, May declining to 7Vc and July to 72c. A moderate vlslnle supply probably broke the supposed leading caused a rally later In the day, the market becoming firm. Closing prices showed a gain for May of He. at 7744C, and July was up HMc. at 724c The amount on passage increased 712,000 bu., while the vUlble supply showed a decreaae of l,706,ono bu. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 160,400 bu. Primary receipts were 40D.200 bu., against 32,oO bu. a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts of 26 cars, which, with local receipts of 40 cars, none of con tract grade, made total receipts for the three points of 326 cars against 228 cars last week and 253 cars a year ago. Trading In corn waa active, but the greater part of the business was for local account. The market was strong at the opening on higher Liverpool cables, with provisions Interests disposed to support pricea. May was especially strong and ad vanced to 46ic, after opening at 46V446e. Later the rumor waa circulated that a big long was unloading and this started a , selling movement among smaller holders which was helped along by the Improved weather, resulting In a severe break, May selling off 44'ic and July to 46c. The mar ket was steady late In the day and May closed He lower at 444. with July He lower, at 4Mtc Local receipts were 6 cars, two of contract grade. Heavy liquidation of May oats by longs resulted In a sharp break In May and July and stop-loss orders coming out on the decline added to the weakness. The bet ter weather, Increased receipt and small rash demand were responsible for the sell ing movement. Closing pricea war near the bottom. May being c lower at 33c. May selling between Sifa3Xc and 3344c. July closed 'uc lower at 3144&31Hc, after ranging between 31H&310 and 31H31Hc Local receipts were 143 cars. Provisions were weak at the opening, due to liberal receipts of hogs and lower prices at the yards, which caused free offerings at the start. Packers bought moderately on the decline, but there was very little support with closing prices steady. July pork being 12V4c lower, at 117.36: July lard, )2Vql5c lower, at $9.60, and ribs down 10 U'4e, at $9.56.

NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS. General Tone of Market ia Dullest Tbna Far Title Year. , NEW YORK. April 27. The somnolent condition of today's stock market waa sig nificant of the indifference of the specu lative and general Investment public. Een firotesslonai traders found discouragement n their efforts to move prices by trading with each other, and the general tone ot the market In consequence was the dullest thus far this year. Special movements in a few individual stocks were all that offered any feature. A report by expert account ants on behalf of the Metropolitan Street railway Intended to refute the charges of Irregular accounting against that company. wnicn are tne object ot present inquiry by the authorities, was made the occasion lor marking up that stock 2c. A hostile pur pose toward tne bear party in the stock waa apparent and the gain was practically lost beiore the end of the day. A rather languid attempt waa made to Induce a gen eral rise In the market in company with the Metropolitan movement, and Missouri Pacific and Baltimore & Ohio seemed to be chosen as leaders. The weakness of Amal gamated Copper caused by the fall In the metal waa an adverse Influence. Then, too. there developed a remarkably atronir tone In foreign exchange, which narrowed the gap Detween tne export materially. Dis counts on money hardened in London and the advance In British consols was checked. 'ihls had a somewhat chilling effect on the expectation that a decline in the Bank of England discount rate this week would mark the easing tone of money all over the world. Money rates here continued to decline and there were depressing raiea for pesiods extending over six mouths. Tno increasing supply of money does not show any Inclination to take up securlt.es. The tone of the bond market la relatively better that that for stocks, but the actual busi ness In that department is still profoundly dull. The approach of the May 1 period, with the skies In the labor world com paratively serene, Is accepted as a favor able factor, but Is not a positive factor In the market. There la a feeling in stock market circle that the quiet In the labor world ha been secured at the expense of concessions, which are constantly raising the operating cost and making Inroaau on net earnings. The increase In gross earnings for March of Atchison was wiped out a. id a decrease In net of $249,817 establisnel by tne large growth in operating expens.. The weekly expense of railroad traffic showed a considerable falling oft In tne movement, especially In the grain move ment eastward. A general move ha developed among the trust companies to withdraw from thj clearing bouse privilege rather than com ply with that Institution's reserve require ment, ha Induced an unsettled feeling and a good deal of puxsled conjectures aa to thj effect on the money situation, and there 1 a disposition to await the final adjust ment of the controversy.

Packers were all out early and they seemed to have quite lib eral orders. About the usual proportion of the offer ings consisted of cornfed steers, and the market could safely be quoted steady to strong and active. The quality of the offerings was about up to the usual stand ard, so the sales on paper make a good showing. The handy weight cattle ot good flesh and quality are still the favorites, and they sold to the best advantage again this morning. The heavy cattle, tnougn. that were good, commanded fully as good prices as were paid last week. Cows were also in active demand at steady to strong prices. The supply was not very large, as tne big ena 01 the re ceipts was made up of steers, so that an early clearance was made. The handy weights, and especially nanuy weignt hell ers, were in the best demand, and In some cases sold a little higher. There was not enough change In the prices paid for bulls, veal calves and stags to be worthy of mention. The better grades of stockers and feed ers were again In active demand at fancy prices. The best grades sold around $5.00, which waa almost as much as waa paid for fat stuff. Feeder ouyera aiso oougnt short fed corn cattle where the quality was good. The commoner grades of feeders were not as aotlve as the good stuff, but still all kinds sold to fully as good ad vantage as they did last week. Repre sentative sales: Me.

I. 626 5S7 4 15 HOOS There waa a fair run nf hoes here this morning, but quite a tew of them were consigned direct to local packers, so that the actual number on sale was not very large. Chicago, thoiiRli. had an un usually large run, and prices there broke loiBloc. Owing to the aecllne tliere local packers thought they ounht to get their supplies correapondlngly low. 'I hey started In bidding Uxgl5c lpwer, and that was the way the bulk of the offerings changed hands. There was not much change In the market from start to finish, but as trading was slow It was late before all the hogs were disposed of. The bulk of the medium weight hogs sold from $6.90 to $6.96. prime heavies from $6.95 to $7.00, and the light weights sold from $6.90 down. Today's decline takes the market to the lowest point reached since the last day of reDruary. Representative sales: No. Av. Sh. Pr. No. Av. Sh.
