V'lirtit, Corn nnd Onts i:tnbliah Fractional Galii Hos I'rodaetn Dull and nrror, Closing Louver. CHICAGO. April 20. Owing to a demoralized telegraph service speculative markets to-day were the dullest of the wck. The tone, however, was steady, wheat and corn each closing H'&'ic higher, oats He up and provisions practically unchanged. In the absence of tidings concerning the Liverpool market and of conditions In the East wheat traders were left to the contemplation of the bearish crop situation. Trade was restricted by the failure of tho wire service, and although word was received flora Liverpool later in the session, business did not swell to any proportions. Of the small aggregate, most of the business was done on the account of shorts who wished to even up over Sunday. May opened U1siC to a shade lower at 70V'i 0-c, and sold early to 70li7ü"ic. So narrow was the market that very moderate offerings from commission houses caused a break to TOViTo'ic A report that .samples of Kansas wheat showed Hessian fly and the" expectation of indecisive statistics Monday caused a rally to 71c, and at this price the market closed. VKMc up. July closed 8c over May. Primary receipts were SGO.Oi) bu. compared with 3u2,ClO last year. Local receipts were forty-one cars, none of contract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth rt ported 'im cars, against 215 last week and 27 a year ago. Corn was dull but rirm. Buying by the bull leaders, who had the receipts, only 112 cars, in their favor, formed the market's best support, for the shipping demand was poor. The crowd felt rather bearish on improved climatic conditions, but exercised discretion, fearing manipulation. May sold between 44c and 4Pic and closed UllUc higher at 44?tC. July closed at 4o,c. Oats were dull but steady, in sympathy with other grains, although there were indications of freer country acceptances. May sold between -Vto and and closed higher at 2oVi:f-,e. Receipts were 237 cars. i'rovl.-Mons opened e.my on liberal hog receipts, and lower prices In the market at the stoekyar.l.. but steadied later. Packers murfc a lunpe at prices early, but their goods were well tak-n and they soon desisted. July pork sold between and $11. 57;. and closed a shade lower at .Slt.ÄVn,1 14. 57Vj; Jwly lar-1 between Jvj2 ami n, closing unchanged at JS.vJ'i. and July rios between 57.12l2'(j7.'JG, with the close a shade down at 7.MÜ.

Saturday, money on call was steady at 4 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 41 per cent. Sterling exchange was firm, with actual business In bankers bills at H.SSti l.S-SV for demand, and J4.SI?; for sixty days; ported j rte 1 f.l' .1 1 t'.. 1 1x111..- t IIUU t..J, v'JII.lllvi I. IUI Ulli.', Silver certificate? were nominally GOc; bar silver, 60c; Mexican dollars, is'ic. Silver bars closed at 27 11-101 an ounce on the London market. Kxports of gold and silver from the port of New York for the week astjregAtcd $'33.613 in silver bars and coin and $2.o.o in pold. Imports of specie- were $11, IM in yilver and fcM.mjT in sold. Merchandise and dry Roods were imported during the week to the value of 112,53-1.441. Tiie weekly statement of the associated New York banks, issued on Saturday, shows the following changes: Loans, decrease $S,7Ss,7X) Deposits, tit-crease 2,JWM'J Circulation, decrease 2U 0 LK.1 tenders. Increase 1,41'i.S'i Specie, increase S.'.'iL'.l'.'O 'Irdal reserve, increase u,4.;i.!47 Reserve required, decrease 522, Surplus reserve, increase 6.5s'j3.0J'J The Umks now hold $14,022,10) in excess of requirements under the 23 per cent. rule. The Financier says: "The associated banks of New York added nearly IT.OW.WO to their surplus reserve last week, bringing the total to $1I.IC2,Uk), an amount larger than they have reported since Feb. 9 latt. Loans are now $13,o,0O0 less tnan at the oate named, and deposits have decreased twenty-seven and one-third millions. It will be recalled that the remarkable expansion of these items, which caused new records to be made during the middle r,f February, started at the opening of the month, so that the banks are practically back on the basis preceding these deals, by far the largest ever consummated In this country. As a matter of fact, loans have decreased twenty-five and one-halt millions from the high point reached on Feb. hi. There has been a shrinkage of $14.0oV0 in deposits in the same time, while cash holdings, despite gold exports, treasury absorptions and losses to the interior, etc., have decreased only about nine million. This is a remarkable record, and shows on Its face that the financing of transactions of unprecedented magnitude has been accomplished with ease. The current statement is more favorable than expected. The frain of $6.4Gl.roi) in cash is about twice as arge as preliminary estimates had assumed, and in connection with a decrease In loans of $S,SS:).0H which reduced deposit liabilities, produced a reserve Increase larger than the actual gain In cash." WALL-S TPRET P. EVI IS V. The week of the largest transactions In stocks In the history of the Stock Exchange closed with the inevitable upward spurt of prices and the natural pressure of liquidating sales at the high level. The rapid upward course of prices at the close on Friday brought in the expected horde of outside buyers Saturday morning, and the professionals added their efforts to the excited demand of the outsiders to make opening Trices as high as possible. The result was some wide spreads in prices and congested buying orders in the favorite stocks, notably St. Paul and Union Pacific. Specific official denials were put out of the report of a projected combination of Northwestern and Union Pacific to offset the Hurlington deal, so the speculators substituted St. Paul for the former and found It Just as effective In attracting demand for the stock. The manipulation of St. Paul was very palpable and violent, but the price was pushed deI terminedly upward to 170, after having al ready crossed its previous record price Friday. The final high price was made In a vigorous effort to rally the market from the decline into which it had fallen as a result of the unwieldy mass of realizing alea which were thrown on the market on the opening bulge. The effort was successful in only a few stocks, and the undertone at the close was distinctly easy and showed some rather violent breaks in recent speculative favorites.' A survey of net results shows that the persisting strength was confined to St. Paul. Union and Southern Pacific, Missouri Pacific, Texas & Pacific, the local tractions and some of the minor stocks. The bank statement was more favorable than expected by reason of the heavy loan contraction, which gave the surplus the benefit of all the cash increase. Hut the showing had evidently been discounted and the selling to take profits on purchases made in anticipation of the statement had evidently not been completed when the market closed. The sales for the two hours of trading were I.Ho.wj shares, compared with the record for Saturday of 1.152.SÖO shares, on. Jan. a. The week's sales aggregated lu,01S,4o0 shares, which surpasses all records. Another week of extraordinary speculative activity has been added to the great stock market boom of 1101. There have been signs of nervousness many times in the trading and enormous speculative liquidation has been absorbed, but new buying has been met on all recessions in prices and disquieting factors have been persistently Ignored or their influence overcome by the powerful and aggressive support which was accorded weak spots in the market. As a consequence many of the principal active stocks have touched prices higher than ever before In their history and the volume of business has continued in a daily scale near to record level. Confirmation has been given to several important projects which have been in the field of surmise up to this time for a large proportion of the most active speculators in the stock affected, thus resolving the occasional spasms of doubt which have unsettled the speculation from time to time. MANY NEW HUMORS. Ther? fias been added a constant crop of new rumors, which are entirely without offcial or authoritative confirmation, but which arc received wdh eager credulity by the speculative world, owing to tho final confirmation given to rumors In the former esses. The most important subject finally removed from controversy and dispute is the Burlington deal. Wall street has not v.aveted In Its conviction of th existence of this project for some time past, but there have been fears of a hitch which sent n any tremors among speculators, and versions of .h- terms of the ileal hav differed from time to time, and probably have been actually changed from lime to time. 1 he official announcement of the terms gives a more stable basis for th? trading in the EU'tks affected. The settlement of tha wage dispute with the steel workers at Mclveesport has relit ved an underlying apprehension of destructive contest with widespread collateral effects, which would have hurt property values not only of the United States Steed Corporation, but of many other properties. The öfter of a banking firm m IJoston to receive deposits of copper stocks, looking to a consolidation of Butte & Boston, Boston & Montana and Amalgamated Copper, was the basis of an excited speculation in the last-named stock on the New York Stock Exchange. But the most poten: Influence in fomenting the continuance of the speculation was the replenishment of the money reserves 1 tha New York banks. A mere arrest vt the hardening tendency would doubtless have been sufiicient te, encourage the speculators t-j renew buying of storks. The pre lit able motvv rate, in fact, has been she cause of arresting thw depletion of New York reserves. Interior exchange has risen to a premium with the demand for remittance to New York to take advantage of the high money rate heie, end sterling ex change has beei held under the gold-export level, although Its hardening tendency nhenever money rates rclixed showed a sei.sltive condition. Foreign exchange authorities maintain their conviction that a considerable sum of gjkl wih go out to meet tJ-e requirements of the London n.ontv market in floating the $3X,uuo.im issue cf consols. There is also to be corsllerd the 1 ecessity for provision for the Burlington e'eal, involving, as announced, the formation of a $5Xu"0.0o0 underwriting syndicati. But uny m ubts over the future of the rt'oney supply were completely submerges as the week progressed under the bu.jyunt h pefflness caused ty present plenty. The speculation h-s overllowed from lick3 jnto some of tho low-grade ccntin-

INDIANAPOLIS. April 0. Cattle Receipts, 75; shipments none. There was a, small supply of cattle on the market to-day, and salts were usually at steady prices compared with yesterday, except veal calves, and they were reported 50c to 75c lower. Steers averaging 1.208 pounds sold at $5.43, cows at 5 and calves at $3.7505.50. The receipts this week are 500 smaller than last week, and there is a gain of nearly 16,0) in the marketing so far this year over the same period last year. A feature of the market this week has been the good demand from local killers, and export steers have been salable at strong prices all week. Female cattle were a little lower at one time, but at the extreme c!cse of the week all fat fcdock was selling 10c higher than the close of last week. During the week quite a number of export steers that were not top kinds sold at $3.40 to $5.50. The top irlce obtained for heifers was $4.75. and for cows $4.50.

The receipts were comparatively liberal for a Saturday market, and with limited shipping orders and lower prices elsewhere the market opened with packers bidding sharply lower. Some sales were considered 5c lower, many 7Vc lower, and at the extreme close a few were possibly 10c lower. The close was weak, but all were sold. The receipts this week are 4. 500 larger than last week, and thus far this year there is an increase of nearly 17.000 over the same time last year. The week opened with values strong:, but later there were frequent changes in prices, with the movement downward. At the extreme close of the week the average was fully 10c lower than the close of last week. The quality has been a little more satisfactory than recently. The extreme price of the week was $6.20.
