STOCK MARKET TONE STEADY Gains, and Losses Hold Equal Sway—Changes Unimportant. YORK, April 18.—The stock market displayed a steady undertone at the opening today, fractional gains and losses being about equally divided. Mexican Petroleum was In demand, telling up over 1 point to 145. Steel common was unchanged at 81%, and Baldwin rose only moderately. There was little change in the rails, Southern Pacific selling up to 75, while Canadian Pacific shaded off to 1U9% and Reading to 68**. American Sugar sold off 1 point to 89 American Smelting rose % of a point to 48%. California Petroleum rose nearly 1 point to IS?;. Asphalt and Atlantic Gulf rose fractionally. . , Changes in other Issues were unimStocks were In supply for a shcrt time after the opening with liquidations reported in a number of important issues, among them Pullman Company, which was offered on a large scale and declined 8 points to 98 Baldwin Lo motive was In supply, wgddlng from 37 to 85%. Pacific was also pressed on the market, selling down to the new low record of 108, made less than one week **Northern Pacific lost 1 point to 72%. New Haven declined of a point to 16% United States Steel was quiet, ranging Republic's tee? dropped 1% points tc 09%. Mexican Petroleum dropped from 145 *°R*oyat Dutch declined 1% points to 66%. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —April 18 — Saturday’s market was a fairly good one, although It was to a great extent proI fessional. Commission houses were not I particularly active, while the professional I elements were still disposed to reduce I commitments, and were fair buyers of [ many of the leading issues. The offerings became a little freer later in session. People's Gas was one of the striking features of the market. This issue has been responding to the accumulation that has been in evidence for some rime, and In common with many of to* public servI Ice corporations, with their troubles I largely in the past, have a brighter fujture. [ The news of the day was. In the main. | favorable. It is quite evident that the administration is determined to solve II some of our present problems and will no doubt exercise its Influence in adjusting conflicting views in regard to railroad operations, including the matters of wages. Industrially, however, no change has occurred, and there Is nothing at present to indicate any Immediate revival In the steel and iron industry. This must come before we can expect general prosperity in this country. It is more than likely that we will have an Irregular stock market for several months, during which time ralles and recessions will follow each other, offering trading opportunities, but we sea nothing at this time that is likely to give ■u an important move in the market.

GRAIN PRICES DECLINE SHARPLY Offering of Large Holdings Causes Market Slump. CHICAGO, April 18.—Grain prices took sharp declines on the Chicago Board of Trade today. The market opened higher, due to covering by shorts and fair demand from local dealers. This brought out large holdings and caused the slump. Provisions were lower. * May wlaeat opened at $1.30, up l%c and di'clined to $1.24 a', the close. July wheat opened up lc at sl.lO and closed 4%0 lower. May corn opened up 2%c at 68%c and dropped l%e at the close. July corn opened up l%c at 62%c and then slid off to 60%c. September corn opened up %c at 61%c and closed off l%c. May oats was up %c at the opening of 87%c and closed down %c at 36%c. July oats opened l%c higher at 39%c and declined I%c at the close. September oats opened %c higher at 40c and then declined l%c in final trade. (By Thompson A McKinnon.) X —April 18Wheat—Low temperatures over the west were responsible for the early Strength iu wheat. However, there were practically no claims of damage and in addition to this foreign buyers refused to follow the advance. Asa consequence the market has been without important support after the first rush of buying was satisfied. Winnipeg has been particularly weak, probably in anticipation of expected tariff legislation The weakness there contributed to the decline in this market. Receipts southwest were liberal but the wheat is apparently being used for previous export sales as pre niHums in Kansas City are strong and the total stocks there decreased for the week Cash wheat has ahown less weakness here than the futures, premiums being about 1 cent better. We construe the decline In prices as a natural reactiou being somewhat larger than expected be cause of the comparative lack of interest on the part of new buyers. In other words the absence of demand has been more powerful than the heavy volume of offerings. The strength in the cash situation is to be discovered in the widening of the premiums for the May over the July also In the firmness of premiums for cash wneat. therefore, unless a renewal of liquidation by the country holders market should steady Itself or, in fact, make good recovery if export business reuppeHrs. Corn, and Oats -*There is not yet suf flcleiit new interests in these markets to prevent moderate declines in sympathy with the wheat market. The cash situation is strengthening slowly as witnessa fairly good decrease in the visible supply, witness also a smaller discount for cash corn the basis today being half cent better. Domestic demand for oats is broadening hut In corn is still small. There were unconfirmed, report* of a goodiv export business In corn. We utlll believe the visible supply of both corn and oats will continue decreasing and we expect. betted demand and a firmer cash situation. Provisions— Slightly higher prices in sympathy with hogs brought hedging sales from smaller packers The appearance of these hedging sales on every strong spot, together with the ho U of influential demand, are not eucoura ing to holders.
