in the wheat market to-day, and influenced q
sharp demand at the opening though the occa-
sion OF the decline not made clear. 1t was
supposed to have some connection with the
Ango-Russian dispute, however, and ac-
cepted as n war sign, though no advices OF any
renewed foreign complications were received
during the session. Wheat advanced fully 10

medium figures at the close and closed about q c
over yester day. The feeling in corn was firm,
but no special features were developed, the mar
ket closing a shade higher than yesterday. Spec
ulative trading in oats lighter than yester-
day. but prices remained firm and the closing
figures were about the yesterday. Pro-
visions were only fairly active, but prices ruled a
shade higher. Flour quiet and unchanged.

irregular
Stocks-This has been one of the dullest days
on the stock exchange for years The total
sales were only IL ,026 shares, of which one-half
was made in the first hour. Only two stocks
delaware, Laekawauua & Western $4,000 and
aud Pacific Mail IS, 100 shares) show trausac-
tons amounting to as much as 10000 shares
during the day. This extreme dullness is to be
attributed partly to the fact that the stock ex-
change did not open until II o'clock this morn
ing and that the day fell between two holidays
and in part to the waiting disposition manifested
by spectators who fail TO show any confidence
in present prices. The final quotations in a
majority OF cases show gains Of Is as per cent,
the latter for Union Pacinc. Comparing prices
this evening with week ago, most stocks show
declines ranging from i to i per cent, the
latter for Union Paeiic. Pacific Mail Is down

Pacific preferred y per cent, and other stocks
less than per cent The only remaining stocks
which show gains are Chicago & Northwestern

NEW YORK, April AT the stock exchange
the market opened irregular, some stocks
being 15G93s higher and other H0Z lower;
the latter for Erie seconds. The opening
short time, in sympathy with lower consols
and active trading in wheat, but, for some
reason unknown, Larkawanna began to de-
cline and lost full point the first hour, and
this seemed to
STAGGER AND CONFUSE
the whole list. At first the Changers were in
the lead and strong, st. Paul selling up to
70A under exceptionally good earnings for
the week, while Northwestern was held firm
by its clique, but soon Lackawanna came to
the front Business soon became meagre
and decidedly uncertain. After the vacation
of yesterday it seemed to be hard work start
ing the machine. Bulls and bears, however,
were alike confident of the future. The
number and urgency of the points to buy
Northwestern
CREATE SUSPICION.
They come from all quarters and sources.
Mr.. Whites friends say the association of his
name with the pool in that stock is wrong,
for he has very little to do with it. He thinks
one stock is enough for one man to take care
of. The earnings Of the Mexican Central
for March show an increase of SIS, 800 over
February. The earnings of Louisville &
Nashville for February increased Sl02, 554,
while the earnings of the same road for the
eight months ending March l were only
Sl55, 929. The earnings of the Northern
Pacific for February increased $40, 727, and
for the eight months ending March 1, S453,-
$50. St. Paul's earnings for the fourth week
in March increased S61, 400, and for the
month of March 1898, 275, Atchnson's earn
ings for January and February decreased
about % per cent, but the figures are not
given out. Missouri Pacific advanced largely
on the reported settlement of the Garrison
suit. Mr.. Gould was mentioned as having
bought West Shore bonds of late. The mar
ket was at standstill from an hour after
opening until the finish. Dozens of stocks
did not afford even a single quotation. Del
aware & Lackawanna crumbled away until it
touched 1884, and then they rallied it
point. Atchison declared the usual IL
quarterly dividend in spite of decrease in
earnings. The bank statement showed
small decrease in reserve of S129. SIS. Some
covering by shorts toward the last caused a
fractional improvement and closed the mar
ket steady all around. Alton earnings the
fourth week of March decreased S1S,315.
