Renewed reports of damage to the Kansas crop by the t-reen bug caused a firm close in the local wheat market today, the final quotations cn the Mav delivery being up He. Corn was down HaVo. Oats were off Wc. Provisions were 2Wu6c to Thio higher. The a-reen bug advices were supplemented by reports from Oklahoma and Kansas that the unseasonably high temperatures which bare prevailed during the last few days will have a serious effect on growing wheat. As a result of these reports the market was ertremely nervous all day. Immedi ately following the opening prices advanced somewhat over buying by shorts and com mission houses. Later this firmness dis appeared because of the weakness of corn and oats. Sellers were also encouraged by denials of the green bug damage In Okla homa and southern Kansas. Late In the day, however, fresh advices were received reaffirming the reports of damuge. This Started lively covering by shorts and prices soon advanced. The close was firm. May wheat opened unchanged to t&c higher at 760 to 7B4ff75c, sold between 7c and 7tio and closed ut 76c. Clearances of wheat and flour were enual to 190,000 bu. Imports for the week, as shown by Brad treeta, were equal to l.boo.OuO bu. Pri mary receipts were 378, 0 bu., against Out bu. the same day last year. Minne apolis. Lhiluih and Chicago teported re ceipts of 416 cars, against 493 cats last week and tul cars a year ago. The corn market waa weak all day on active selling by bulls. The chief reason lor the weak market was a decline In the prioe or casn corn, it being reared that the prevailing warm weather will seriously affect the condition of the grain. The mar. et closed weak. May corn opened a shad lower at 4oSc. sold at 411-100 and then declined to 4uo. Final quotations were at 6c. Local receipts were 374 curs, with Cone of contract grade. Trading In oats was small and the mar ket was Inclined to be weak In avmnathv with com. Longs were the principal sellers ana casn nouses were the best buyers. May oats opened unchanged at 42Sc. sold Up to 42-c, and then declined to 41V- The close was at 414iU'u. Local rece.pts were 226 cars. Provisions were weak early In the duv because of a 60 decline In the price of live bogs and the weakness of corn. Ijit. r the market became tlrm on active buying by looal packers.

Some stocks, which were under pressure, broke through the low level reached in the panic last week. This as notably true of the Erie and the weakness of those stocks was of lura-e svmtiathetlc effect on the whole list. The other dominant factor In the market was the consequences feared from yester day. Ihe aggravating cause of the weakness of the LYles was, clearly enough, the an nouncement of the management to aban don proposed betterments In the state of New York from fear of the Interierence with the Intended methods of financing the work by the proposed state legislation for control of publto utilities. Back of this open explanation there were current many rumors of Internal dissension In the com pany and of disappointment at the results of improvements already nrade. The bears. In fsct operated In the securities of the company very freely and very boldly. They were not opposed, however, by any pro tective measures for the securities In the market. This supine attitude of the friends or controllers of the property had a dis couraging effect on any views favoring an advance In prices. Instead of the turn against the supi-os-'d large outstanding short Interest which waa talked of during the haidenlng period of prices yesterday, the bears undertook fresh operations on a large scale and had good success In pre cipitating fresh liquidation In various quar ters of the list. The Morgan group was especially affected when the entire lack of support In the Erie's was peicelved. The weakness spread to Southern railway nnd to the whole southern railway group. The Hills and Harrimans were also acutely af fected and had the usual effect In dragging down St. Raul, Atchison and Reading. United States Steel waa heavily sold, but on a narrower price range than the lower priced shares. The effect of the advance In the Bank of France rate was heightened by reports from Iarls that a further rise was ex Iected next week. The action Is directed against a movement of gold 0 London, and ulso to Berlin. Its special Interest to New York that payment for participation In note Issues of Amerlcun railroads are sup posed to be Involved in both these move ments. This movement of capital out of France evidently Is Intensified by the wide discrepancy between the ruling Interest rates In Paris and the rate of return on the high grade note Issues. The Bank of France under these circumstances, evi dently finds It unwl.10 to persist In keeping nome interest rates so tar out of line with the world's average, even with the advan tage considered of stability In the money market for business and trade. It Is an a recognition of the universality of the rls-j In money rates that the action or the French bank Is regarded as Important, rather than from any likelihood of banking reserves in other centers being affected. Private cables from London revealed some anxiety there regarding the outcome of the market settlement next week. Esti mates of the week's currency movement Indicated an Increase, of upwards of $i,uoivO In cash holdings of the banks. It Is ex pected also that the drastic market liquida tion of last week as It came late In the week will affect the averages of the loan account this week as much as last. A strong bank statement la thus Imiiinted The market closed weak around the low point, at severe declines, the effect of the break In the Eiies being aggravated by the slump In Canadian Pacific.

The receipts for the wek to date have been very liberal, showing a heavy gain over the previous week and a considerable gain over a year ago. Packers all seemed to want a few sheep and lambs this morning and the few cars offered met with ready tukvrs st good strong prices. As noted yesietday. the ten. dency of values at all mnrkct points this week has been lower, wlng to very heavy receipts In the face of decreased demand usual during the latter part of Lent. Prices at this point have accordingly de clined 154f26o during the week, but still the market upon the whole has been In prettv fair condition and prices have compared very favorably with those prevailing at all Other points. The feeling appears to be general that after Easter there will be a decided In crease In the demand and a consequent revival In prices.

Gilt edged securities and home rails were Inclined to sag in the absence of support. Foreigners drooped, In sympathy with Paris. Americans attracted little at tention during the afternoon. Dealers marked quotations above parity, but prices eased on local and continental realisations.

Cows and heifers were also in talr re quest for a Friday, but tne trade as a whole was rather dull and no more than steady with yesterday, which means gen erally lo(415c lower than last week. Stockers and feeders were In very light supply, there nut being enough In first hands to make much of a showing. There were, however, quite a good many In the hands of speculators, and the market did not show any quotable change as compared with yesterday, but prices generally are a little lower for the week.
