CHICAGO OR1M ASD rROVISIOS
Prleea on Board of Trade.
CHICAGO, April 7 liquidation of the
May wheat option caused general weakness
in the wheat market today. Some recovery
occurred on buying by shorts, but at the
cross May wheat w-as still down Sc. July
Is unchanged. July corn Is off c. rats
are unchanged. Provisions are &itluo
higher.
Liberal movement of wheat In the north
west started scattered selling of May here
at the opening. The sales were rein
forced by moderate profit taking on the
part of several Influential long.". The re
sult was decided weakness. Initial quota
tions on May were c to c lower, at 11.17
V1.17H. July was a shade to HtlV' lower,
at r79,Gs71t,c. During the first half hour
demand was very light and prices de
clined still further. Mav dropping to tl.14.
July sold off to 87Hc. The distant futures
were affected by continued favorable
weather conditions, temperatures In the
west and northwest being slightly higher
and rain being quite plentiful In the Ohio
valley. The market, quite dull at the
outset, became almost lifeless after the
first hour. Uncertainty regarding the
May deal held many traders In suspense.
Late in the day the market grew more
active and recovered much of the early
lofs. Covering by shorts was the feature.
An estimate of reduced shipments from
India hud considerable Influence on late
trading. July was in best demand and sold
up to Sc. The closing price on Julv was
87',fi8Sc. Mav closed at IMA-V Clear
ances of wheat and flour were equal to
251,00 bu. Exports" for the week, ss shown
by Bradstreet's. were equal to RfS.OOO bu.
Primary receipts were 310.900 bu., com
pared with ST.9,610 bu. a year ago. Minne
apolis, Duluth and Chicago reported re
ceipts of 2fiS cars, against 274 cars last
week and 244 cars a year ago.
Corn was not In much demand today and
while there was no special pressure to
sell, offerings were snifflclently havy to
weigh - prices down. Small holders sold
moderate'iy. Continued excellent weather
was a bearish factor. A decline at Liver
pool tended to weaken values here. The
demand Improved Inter In the dav nnd
much of the earlv lrss was regained. De
mand came principally from elevator Inter
ests. Estimated small receipts for tomor
row had a bullish effect during the lat
hour of trading. Julv opened ,c lower,
at 4ot'ff47''tiC. sold between 47Vc and 4Sc
and closed at 47T6v Local recelp's were
293 cars, with 3b of contract grade.
In comparison with other g-"lns the
oats market was nulte firm. The mfttn
factor was the declining tendency of local
receipts. The volume of tridlnir was small.
July opened unchanged nt 290. sold be
tween rSHc and r9V4(fi?9'c and closed at
29ve. Local receipts were 91 cars.
Trading In provisions was extremely
quiet, hut the market had a firm under
tone. A local packer was a moderate pur
chaser. At the close Julv pork wan up

NEW YORK, April 7. The wave of specu
lstive enthusiasm which developed In yes
terday's stock market as a result of the
sudden awakening In United States Steel
preferred was carried over into the early
market of today and swept prices quite
comprehensively to a higher level with an
appearance of great animation and
buoyancy. But the market underwent a
considerable change of form In the course
of the day and the trading became much
quieter and the tone reactionary by contrast.
There was some pressure to take profits
In recent special favorites from the outset
and the pressure gained In force during the
day. The change In the market's tone was
not based on any widespread general con
dition, but was explained by considerations
of a narrower scope such as have forc
with board room operators. Traders bought
stocks freely whlfe they found that prices
advanced easily and there was ready op
portunity to secure profits for a quick turn.
But some of the newer ventures brought
out such heavy offerings on the advance
that the confidence of the traders deserted
them. This was notably true of Rock
Island, which has enjoyed no notable move
ment for a long time, and which was taken
up by the professional operators for that
reason alone. They reasoned that a stock
so long practically dornmnt would advance
easily to a level of readjustment with the
advances already effected elsewhere. The
bidding up of this stock brought out such
enormous blocks In liquidation that the
load proved too heavy to carry. It was
evident also that at the high opening level
of United States Steel preferred, the at
traction of profits was so tempting as to
bring in selling orders in fxcess of the de
mand. The opening price, in fact, prov-d
the highest. Heavy profit-taking centered
on Atchison from the outset, its late sharp
advance yesterday serving to bring out
selling orders. This obvious tendency of
the trading took away the confidence of
the speculators for the rise and the ag
gressive demand subsided gradually. Dif
ferent stocks were taken up In detail and
lifted sharply In the effort to contest the
reaction. There was a very striking move
ment In Amerlohn Smelting, which was
based upon the assumption that the plan
for further combination of the Smelting and
Iead companies was not easily accom-
fllshed. The Increase In the dividend of
'nlted States Rubber preferred helped
those stocks and the Industrials generally.
Much was made In the opening rush to
buy of the remarks made by President
Roosevelt In a speech yetttorday Inculcating
the desirability of fair treatment to the
railroads in any legislation for their regu
lations. A formal Intimation on the part
of the llarriman Interest of an Intention
to make no further contest of the Northern
Securities case was of some effect. The
good prospects for the winter wheat crop
were assigned as grounds for special
strength of some of the southwestern rail
roads. Estimates of the week's currency
movement indicates a small gain in cash
by the banks, but call money rose again
to above 4 per cent and caused some re
vival of misgivings over the future supply.
The active speculation In Industrials has
resulted In some decline In their favor as
collateral for loans. The persistent strength
of sterling exchnnge, also, In view of the
low rates for foreign discounts and the rela
tive firmness of money here. Is something
of a mystery and Induces a surmise that
remittances are being made for some spe
cial purpose, possibly on subscriptions to
the Japanese loan placed last wceg. Quite
a brisk recovery followed the late reac
tion in the market and the closing was Ir
regular, but onjy a few stocks recovereed
to the top level.

CATTLE Thero was a lalrly liberal run
of cattle in night today, considering that
It was Friday, but for the wet reeeip.s
have been extremely light, so there were
none too many un salu tin. morning to
meet the requirements of the trade. Chi
cago reported the market sttady, with fa.uoO
head on sale.
The market on beef steera at this point
could tutely be quoted as active nnd
strong to a dime higher. Buyers were
again in the saudle at un early hour and
trading was active from start to tlnlxh, o
that it was not long before everything in
sight was disposed of. As high as 46.30 was
paid touay, which shows that this market
is well In lino with other points on the
good as well as on the common and me-
ulum grades. As compared with a week
ago the market is right around 60 cents
higher.
The market on cows and heifers was also
active and strong today. Some of the bet
ter grades in fact looked as much as a
dime higher than yesterday. The range of
prices Is getting wider every day, for while
the good stuff has been going up every day
the common kinds are not showing much
improvement ana cows are now setting an
the way from 41.75 to $4.85 and heifers are
quotable up to $5.35. This makes a range
of anout t3.au. as compared with a week
ago the more desirable grades of cows and
heifers, the same as steers, are right close
to 00 cents nigner.
The market on bulls was strong and act
ive today and veal calves sold to good ad'
vantage.
Not many stockers and feeders arrived
this morning and, the snme as usual nn a
Friday, not many were wanted. Good
stuff sold without much trouble at about
eteady prices, but common kinds were slow
and weak. Representative sales

made The bulk of the hogs went at $5.2
to $5.27. with the choicer Toads motlv at
