K" ports of green bus; damage were received iroin northern Kansas, cauHlng a slight ad vance In both May and July wheat, but predicted showers and a generally favor able weather forecast caused prices to esse off c from the top, with profit-taking sales.

April 22.-Whlle the day s transaclloris on the Stock exchange gm erally were Imllned to be largely in proffs sional hands, advanoes In prices were rec ognised as a reflection of a real Improve nient in sentiment toward the end. The vol ume c-f the dealings was not noticeable and business was unduly congested In a few sieouUitlve favorites In the same way hs for some time past. The manner In whlcu prices i-nne also failed to carry conviction of a resnonxe to demand simply to secuie additional holdings at the best possible terms. The important feature of the mar ket was that the rise, however brought about, Tlid not bring out Important offerings for sale. It Is this condition of the mar ket th.it causes uneasiness to the outstaind nr short intercut, which Is admittedly still large. The bear poaltlon Is based on the prece dent of a slow, sagging tendency of prices after the first relx.-und from suc-h a violent fall us occurred last month. The existence of this persistent short Interest In the mar ket invites attack by an opposing bull party in the speculation as soon as the market 18 freed from actual liquidation on advances.

General ralna throughout southern Kansas offxet crop damage reports and caused a weak close today In the wheat market, the final quota tion on the July option being HWo lower. Corn was down He and oats He. Provis ions were up HHftGc. The feeling In the wheat pit was nervous all day, and prices fluctuated with a lc range. At the opening the market was In clined to be weak because of milder weather In the northwest and the else of the world's shipments for the week, the local move ment being 12,6r6,O0O., against 9.2MOno bu. for the same week last year. At the end of the first hour a sharp rally was caused by reports from the southwest of damage to the growing crop. letter prices again declined on prorlt-taklng and some buying for short account and the reports of rains throughout southern Kansas.

The large 1oli ex pansion of the last two weeks Is not re garded as due to demand for credits In anything like the proportion of the loan in creviise, as that Is due largrely to the trans fer of loan to the New York hanks which were previously carried by Interior banks and bv trust companies. This condition of New York bank notea Is thus, In reality, a sign of relaxation rather than of stif fening money markets. The same thing Is true of the remittance of funds from Lon don to Paris, which represents a re-pny-ment of Issues formerly issued and prompted by the present ease of money In London. Discounts continued to decline there today, and also In Berlin, where It is reported, apparently with authority, that at this week's meeting of the directors, the Imperial Bank of Oermany will reduce the ofllclal discount rate from the prevailing 6 per cent rate. Account Is taken, neverthe less, of contrlhtitary causes In the expand ing tendency of the New York bank loans. In each at the two weeks past nvndlcate operations were traceable sufficient to ac count for a large proportion ot the loan Increase In each instance. A buoyant market for copper securities In London and an advance In the quotation for the metal there were helpful factors In the day s rise. An Incident regarded an of some algnlllcanca was the sale of a Stock exchange seat at a price higher than, the preceding sale, the, rule being a declining tendency for the seats when- a pn longed period of stagnation In stocks Is believed to be Imminent. International commission nouses asserted that a more favorable at- inuue lowaru American securities on the I part of foreigners was discernible with the I relaxation In money markets abroad.

The market opened rather weak all around, but when it developed that there was an ample demand for all the cattle offered the trade became more lively and prospects were favorable for a good clearance before noon. As usual the proportion of cows and heif ers included In the receipts was compara tively small and with a good general de mand the trade was active from the start and prices were generally In last week's closing notches The supply of veal calves was tolerably liberal and while there was a good demand buyers were able to shade prices about 26c. The market for bulls, stags, etc., was not materially different frem last week. . . Fresh offerings of stockers ana feeders were decidedly limited and as a very fair clearance had been made last week both vard traders and country buyers were In the market early for supplies. Prices for desirable stock of all weight ruled fully Bteady with last week, but there was the usual Indifference and weakness when It come to the common, low grade, light and medium weight stuff.

The demand was best for the good light snd butcher weight grades, and these sold freely at steady to strong prices, around $6.SS'h.40. On the other hand, the heavy and parking grades were slow sale from start to finish and In Soms rases they were possibly a shade eaaier, selling largely at $6.9''j6.3'-'V4.
