After the I,elter deal Armour handled the Letter wheat and marketed H.Wt.oti bushels. Dar ing the fight P. D. Armour bought In 1".'O0.fO0 bunnels for himself to deliver on Mny contracts. His facilities ar un eniialed for handling the cash grain. Val entine took over 3.(i0,0n0 bushels of July wheat yesterday. This was on top of the l.-.iii.tK'O bushels bought Tuesday. A week .,go Valentine sold heavily for three days xnil bought In Mlnneapolla. Prices there were Sl.oo to $1.004. Yesterday they were up :'o from the low point of last week and hlcago about the name aa a week ago, so i hat the spread showed about 2o profit. Minneapolis has reported Valentine a hrnvy seller of July there for two days. Anticipation of foreign complications la Klvr-n out aa the reason of the Valentine buying and has created a more friendly fi-eling toward the bull side. An Inter esting development la tha fact that a cargo of 1,000 bushela- of contract wheat, loaded for Armour at Duluth to come to Chicago, has been diverted to Buffalo. This is thought to mean that Armour will not le a heavy maker of contract wheat for May delivery as he has been so far. The primary receipts of wheat are 313.000 bushels against lM.ow a year ago and the, shipments are illti.OU) against 14i.0fi0. The corn primary receipta are 328.000 bushela against 2M.0H0 and the shipments are fl-B.OuO against 220,000. The wheat clearances are ivTimO and the corn clearances 287.UK) bushelB. The Indian wheat shipment Is S48.0HO against ftto.OuO last week. Although the miller complain, the Minneapolis and coun trv mills ground 107,000 barrels more than a "year ago. The Minneapolis flour output last week decreased 61,000 barrels and the lightest since December 31. The quantity turned out was 196.0UU0 against TO. 810 last venr. Millers generally found trade very dull. Kxnort business for the week was confined to sales bv one company of moderate quantity of first clears at a low nrlce.

DECLINE WIPES OUT MANY MARGINS F.ach Inrrrnilir Slnmn Dislodges a Greater Rnnrb af Slop liomm OITer Inga Traders Afraid ot Hol iday Developments. NEW YORK, April 2" -The cloud of suspicion ana distrust wnicn has ueen gatiierlng over the stoca market during uie wnoie of the week nroka today wuu some violence, i he oecllne was contesiea in tne eany stages, nut it gathered force aa It was extenoed. The quick exhaustion or the imj lug oeinand nn the occasional lallits was a niitticlent eviucnce to the pio levHional traders that the speculative po sition was still vulnerable, ihey returned to the attack accordingly again and again, and on each successive slump the weight or the offerings olaiodgcd was greater. The market proved to Ire honeycombed with stop-loss orners, which have been greatly Increased as the cnnlldence In the stability of the market was impaired. The amount of the decline was suirlclent also to wipe out some of the margins of the more suo slantlal class, and In all cases of specula tive holdings, to Impair tne margin to audi an extent as to lead to a very gen eral call tor additional collateral. .The principal Influence in the trading probably was the Northern Securities situa tion, and the great skepticism which has been aroused regarding the swarm of rumors centering about the dissolution of the company and the pains which were expected to grow out of It. The announce ment made during the session that the 16o,000.(Kio of Northern Pacific stock would be admitted to be traded In on the Stoek exchange In the unlisted department on Monday next was regarded as a danger to the speculative position In that stock and In the Northern rVecurltles, owing to the free market that will thus be afforded for the stock. Northern Rer-tirltlea on the curb fell to the low level of Tuesday's breHk. and It wlll.le observed that the transconti nental stocks and those connected with them In the deal rumors were the principal sufferers on the Stock exchange. i ne determination of operators to get out of their l.oldlngs was accentuated by the three-day holiday to be faced, practically all the important exchangee nf the world being closed until next week, with the pos sibility of important and military events greater than under ordinary circumstances. The diplomatic exchange In progress be tween Japan and France on the question of neutrality, between Oermany and France over conditions In Morocco, and the In creasing chance of a naval enounter In the east were warning Influenea In this fleld. The signing of the stock transfer tax at Albany was offered as a professed reason by many of the traders for their selling of stocks, on the ground that their opera tions would he greatlv hampered and re stricted by this law. which does not go Into effect, however, until June. Tbe embit tered controversy in the Equitable Life Assurance society was feared for Its dis turbing effect on confidence In financial conditions at large. The flurry In call money and the slump In the wheat market aggravated the weakness of stocks and opnosed an attempted late rally.

I 1 ne tact tnat prices here are nigh as I rompared with Cnlrago, while all eaatem markets are reported decidedly lower and more or less demoralised, acted sm a check upon buyers here and caused a slow trade from siart to finish. The feeling was very weak on all kinds, but especially so on shorn stuff, which can safely be quoted at 1.K3 26P lower than last week. Good to choice wooled sheep and lambs are not so much oft and they ran be quoted aa steady to pic lower than the close of last Week.
