SURPRISE In THE VISIBLE
Instead of a Looked For Increase, Lake
Figures Fell Off 1.13S,000 Bushels. ,
Pardridge's Brokers, However, Dump Such
Quantities of Grain in the Pit that Wheat
Was Prevented Holding lis Advance.
TRADING AT CHICAGO.

Heavy Sales by Corn Operators Drove the
Price of Maize to Ais
CHICAGO, April s5.-There was O sur
prise to-day in the visible supply report.
The lake figures for wheat gave instead of
an Increase. remarkable decrease. $4,000
bushels. On this there was a temporary
furry, which put prices up to $3.50 for May
and July. This was met by organized sell
ing by Pardridge's brokers. and SO dis
heartened the trade that the close was
rather fiat at but Sc gain for the day.
Corn left off at a decline of asc in the May
future and an advance of lac for July.
Provisions wound up firm at 10c improve
ment over Saturdays closing price for pork
and a gain of Csc each in lard and ribs.
In wheat the opening was at Ac advance
and the market ruled strong, advancing an
additional Sc, eased off l303sc, closing
steady. The early strength was influenced
by the ~backwardness of the season being
made so apparent by the various Official
State bulletins. Some operators professed
to see a bullish card in a dispatch from
Washington saying a census of the House
showed that the Hatch bill could not pass.
Partridge. it is current gossip tonight. Is
short of July wheat 5000. 600 or 10000. 600
bushels. Irwin-Green bought a good deal
of wheat to-day. supposed to be for Capt.
Phillips. who has heretofore been quite q
bear.
In the corn pit Norton and Worthington
sold out about 500. 900 bushels of long corn
early in the session. Outside of that there
was no conspicuous individual trading.
The prices were we'll maintained at from
42c to 42lsc for Nay. but weakened toward
the end of the session. and In the last ten
minutes the pressure all came from the
sellers. who crowded the price down to
41l2c. and it closed at ALSO. The story
about a big long interest In May corn by
the Cudahys. and the prospect of a deal
with a sensational advance in the price,
was revived. but tho trade took little stock
in the talk. Shorts and receivers bought
sparingly. o. s. White led the selling. but
the most of the trade was scattered and of
q scalping nature.
The oats market followed corn closely all
day. 1t advanced ss03sc. and then weak
ened "a 0asc.
There were signs of improved support in
the provision market after the first tour.
The packers. for the first time IN many
days. were inclined to take products on
May contracts. 1t was on some significant
buying of shOrt-ribs by Armour brokers
the last halt hour that shorts were induced
to do some buying. and the best prices were
made Just at the close. Ryan IL Co., the
Chicago Packing Company and other pack
ing interests were at work on the buying
side at different times.
A fair demand existed for vessel-room.
and rates held firm at lac for wheat and
lac for corn to Buffalo. Estimated re-
ceipts for tomorrow are: Wheat, 100 cars;
corn, 375 cars; oats, 80 cars; hogs, 81, 600.

pressure upon Northern Pacific preferred

strength in the Hooking Valley stocks was
equally as pronounced. The only features
of the late trading were the sudden
rally IN Lackswanna from 1878 to l59l2

level of all other stocks. Even the traders
held aloof. waiting the outcome of the
