WHEAT AND CORN DROP A FRACTION
FroTlsloas Close from rflr
Half to Forty-Two a Half teats
Lower After Vain Efforts

CHICAGO, April I.-The wheat ma ket
u rataer quiet today aiKl heavy llqjlda
tlon lata in the day caused a weak rlo-ie.
May being Vc and July o down. May
corn wu V lower, July was down r'c,
with May oats unchanged and July VaVs
Mirher Provisions were decidedly weaK.
tr.e July product closing from 17H- o
2Vie liwer. . .. .,
firm Liverpool cables, with predictions
of unfavorable weather in the wheat belt,
catined a strong feeling at the start, May
opening unchanged to e hlKher to i'.c tn
TVfcfl, while July waa Vc higher at So. The
Hrmne.ii was lout throughout by fro selling
by pit traders and commission houses, h)
were under the Impression that (ho leading
long was unloading. Later In tho session
the market became firm again on clunging
by shorts, influences by numerous reports
Of crop damage and the bul.lsh Illinois crop
bulletin, July advancing to 72V(W2-l,c- Re
newed liquidation late in the day resulted
In a severe break. May selling oft to ic
and July to 714c. July closed at the bot
tom at a loss of Sc and May was off He
at 77c. Clearances of wheat and flour wera
equal to 73,0" bushels. J'rimary iecelits
were bushels, against 22:i.40 a year
ago. Minneapolis and Duluth reported le
relpts of 94 cars, which with local recelpis
of 78 cars. 1 of contract grade, made total
receipts for the three points of ii cars,
against 123 cars last week and 208 cars a
year ago.
Com was fairly active, but the trading
was mostly local. Trices were firm on pre
dictions of cold, wet weather throughout
the west, and shorts covered freely early
In the day. Later the early advance waa
lost on commission house selling, due to the
Increased receipts, and the market held
steady until the last hour, when there wai
a sharp break on heavy liquidation. In
fluenced to some extent by the weakness In
wheat, and the market closed near the bot
tom, May being 4c lower to 44Vc, after
selling between 44c and 46c. July was oft
Sfco, closing at 44"'aH4c, afler ranging
between 44c and 45c. Iocal receipts
were 222 cars. 1 of contract grade.
Oats showed some weakness early In the
day on selling by brokers, due to increased
receipts, but predictions of unfavorable
weather started a strong local buying
movement, which resulted in a rally, and
the market held firm throughout the re
mainder of the day. May closed uncharge!
at XSc, after selling between 33c and 23c.
while July was up VUV4c st 31V4C. atier
selling between 314o and SlTkc. Local re
ceipts were 293 cars.
There was further liquidation In pro
visions and this selling was augmented by
the stop-loss orders which came out on th
decline. Liberal receipts of hogs and
lower prices at the yards were Influential
In starting the selling movement. There
was some buying by packers, but on the
whole the market lacked any material sup-
rort. July pork closed at a loss of 42Vc at
16.92V4. Lard was down 20c at 19.30 and
ribs were 17c lower at $9.87V4-

NEW YORK STOCKS AND UONDS.
Market Atcaln Listless, Professionals
Providing All Business Doing;.
NEW YORK. Anrll 2S.-Today's stock
market was similar to that of yesterday,
except that professional selling came early
In the day and the short covering later.
Ycfterduy the buying came first and the
realising afterward. But the whole market
was strictly professional unless there may
have been some dribbling of liquidation
of small longs due to weariness with the
persistent apathy of the market. The fic
tion of the New York public utilities waa
a striking evidence or me dominant pro
fessionalism of the market. These stocks
weakened sharply In the morning on the
upposltlon that a decision would be
handed down during the day affirming the
validity of tho New York lax upon their
ranchlses. immediately upon the an
nouncement that- this expected decision
aa been rendered, prices turned upward,
owing to the efforts of the bears to cover
their short contracts. The announcement
of an engagement of IViO.OiiO In gold for
export to Europe had been made the occa-
lon for general selling, but the shorts In
the general list were equally disposed to
leave their commitments uncovered over
Ight. The result was a show of exceed
ingly small net changes. Most of these
are on the side of losses, as the declines
were not all completely recovered. Amal
gamated copper gained for the day lhi.
being helped by the rally in the metal
market. St. Louis & San Francisco closed
v4 higher on account of the report that
the San Antonio & Arkansas Pass road
had been acquired from the Southern Pa
nic, although official disclaimers were
forthcoming. New York Central rose
narply at the last. Some sneclal weak
ness was manifest in Southern Pacific and
St. Paul was the cause of some eaeer con
jectures on the part of the traders who
professed to see signs of Influential selling
n tnose two stocks. The approaching de
parture for vacation trips of some of the
operators in stocks caused a keen watch
fulness for signs that they are lightening
their holdings. Current gossip pointing to
plans for some permanent retirements
wing to conditions of health In the case
of some conspicuous leaders gives addi
tional force of Influences of this character.
The export of gold was of merely senti
mental enect aa tne present state 01 the
money market Is one of growing ease.
The principal demand for remittance by
exenange at xnis time is tor tne purpose
of paying off maturing Indebtedness on the
part of syndicates and bankers simply be
cause money Is growing cheaper at home
and It is not believed that the large Inter
ests concerned would be disposed to ship
gold on a large scale at present In the re
payment, or loans, owing to the bad senti
mental effect upon securities of an out
ward movement of the metal.
The enormous profits disclosed by the
windln? ud of the United States Steel un
derwriting syndicate offered a subject for
mucn aiscussion ana revealed the strong
Incentive to the promotion of the great
mergers and combinations during the
flourishing period of the process. Includ
ing the one-fifth Interest In the total profits
which is understood to have gone to the
syndicate managers as a commission, the
total profits of this underwriting amounted
apparently to 260 per cent on the amount
of cash actually paid, the disposition to
tne suDscriDers rooting up 200 per cent on
the same basis.
Today's bond market continued irrerulnr-
total sales, par value, $1,500,000. United
States new 4s advanced 414 per cent on the
last call.

CATTLE There was a very heavy run of
cattle here this morning, and. In fact, re
ceipts were the heaviest of any day ao far
this year. Very naturally the supply was
considerably ahead of expectations and
packers made use of that fact to pound
the market. , '
Steer buyers started out quite early, but
from the beginning their bids were gen
erally a dime lower on all classes. Sellers
were Inclined to hold on for steady prices,
but In view of the big run they soon began
to cut loose, so that trading was fairly
active at the decline. Buyers seemed to
have quite liberal orders, so the bulk of the
more desirable grade was disposed of at
a reasonably early hour. The quality of
the offerings was about tha same as It
has been of late.
The cow market was also about a dime
lower than yesterday. The big end of the
receipts consisted of beef steers, but at the
same time there were a good mar.y cows
and heifers on sale and buyers said they
would get them a dime lower or not at all.
When sellers finally made up their mind
to take off a dime trading was as active
aa could be expected on a downward mar
ket. Bulls were a Ittle lower In view of the
break on steers and cows, but veal calves
held about steady.
The demand from the country for Block
ers and feeders was rather disappointing
yesterday, and as a result speculators were
bearish. Besides that there was quite a
sprinkling of stockers ana reeaers inciuaeo
In the receipt this morning. Tho best
grsdes were probably not over a dims
lower, but some of the commoner grades
were considerably lower than that. Repre
sentative sales:

HOGS Receipts were quite liberal at all
points this mornlnir and as a result the gen
eral tendency, of prices was downward. The
market here was Just about a dime lower.
Thero were some weak and some strong
spots to the market, btit th bulk of the
sales were 10c lower than yesterday's mar
ket. Trading was fairly active at the de
cline, so that the bulk of the arrivals was
out of first hands by the middle of the fore
noon. The medium weights sold mostly
from W.fBJ to $6.85, with the prime heavies
going from 96.85 to iO. The light stuff
sold from 86.80 down. Representative sales:

SHEEP There was aulte a liberal supply
of sheep and lambs In sight this morn
ing, but the quality was again very much
on the common order. Packers did not
seem to be very anxious for the kinds that
were on sale, so the market was slow and
1015c lower. Packers said that they would
have paid about steady prices for good
sheep, but that they did not care to pay
yesterday's prices for part-fat kinds. There
were some Colorado wooled lambs on sale
good enough to bring $6.50 and that was
about the only stuff on sale that could be
called at all good.
Tha demand for feeders waa extremely
light this morning, even at the very low
prices now prevailing.
