large as they were last week. The same
conditions exist today and the market was
strong and active. So it would seem that the
sharp declines of yesterday and the day be-
fore do not appear to have been wholly war
ranted. 1t is true that there was not that
urgency in the milling and export demand
there was Oh Friday and Saturday last, either
here or elsewhere. But the country this
year is not in a condition to sell a half mill
ion or so a day to exporters Then, too, these
buyers had provided for immediate wants and
could afford to hold off for a short time, even
If their stocks are low. Chicago advised that
wheat prices were on an export basis and
that 10000 bu had been taken for export
early and 10000 bu to go West. Clearances
from the seaboard were liberal.
May wheat opened at 72Ac, against 71%c
yesterday sold at 71%c, f1rmed up to 1850
7212c, sold at 723sc advanced to 725sc, lost 1Sc,
gained 1Sc, declined to 72Ac, frmed up to
7219G725sc, sold at 723sc by 11:30 and by noon
held at 7214c.
July wheat opened at 72Ac, being &c bet
ter than yesterday, gained 1sc by II: 40 a. m.
and by noon held at 725sc
Offerings of cash were very light, the bulk
of the receipts being generally applied to fill
sales previously made. Millers paid a pre-
MUM of 112G1azc over May for No. L north
ern. Sales were made as per statement be-
low Receipts here were IA cars and % cars
shipped out.
At II O'Clock sharp the market weakened
and in less than five minutes May wheat de-
then took another quick dip to 7012c rallied
little, but cannot be called strong. The rea-
son for the break is puzzle to the majority
OF the trade, in fact, there was no reason CIV
en-; operators simply followed Chicago without
reason.

TIMES BY AN UNQUALIFIED
DULLNESS.
EVIDENCES or STRENGTH.
SMALL NET DECLINES DUE TO MAN.
IPULATTON BY THE BEAR
SIDE.
MORE GOLD TAKEN FOR EXPORT
No FURRY In the Street Over the
News of the Withdrawal of
the Yellow Metal.

NEW YORK, April 28@The market for
stocks was lacking in animation today, and
sank, at times, into condition of unqualified
dullness, although evidence Of firmness and
strength were not lacking. The small net de-
cline was due rather to the sympathetic effect
of the manipulation by the bears of special
stocks than to anything in the general situ-
alton. Perhaps the dullness was, in some
small part, due to the inauguration of the
gold export movement today now first gener-
ally admitted to be due to normal causes.
Interest in the gold movement was confined
In very large part to those having to do with
the market for exchange, as it is now gener-
ally understood that the gold movement has
been held back for several days at least by
an agreement of the exchange houses, which
agreement it was found impossible to main
tain after the engagement on Saturday of
about $1,G0O,0O0 for shipment to London on an
order from that center.
There was a little apprehension around in
Wall street, however at the news that $780,
600 in gold coin had been withdrawn from
the subtreasury for export to Europe. For
one thing, 1t is felt that the present period
of excessive imports of merchandise, which is
now throwing the exchange situation against
us, will necessarily be limited by the enact
ment into law of the new customs tariff The
return of the gold that may go out now is,
therefore, confidently expected with the nor
NAL merchandise export movement later.
The market for Americans in London was
weak this morning in the face Of an ad-
vancng tendency for consols, and the New
York market took its opening tone from Lon
don. But, after the opening loss, the general
market advaced to a point fraction higher
than Monady's close. The bears then sought
successfully to stem the advance by attacks
on individual stocks. Those selected for at
tack and the declines effected in them were:
Chicago Gas, ~; Western Union, 115; New
Jersey Central, 27s; Delaware & Hudson, Ia
Leather preferred, 15s, and Omaha, ~. The
net declines in these were, however, only
fractional, except in New Jersey Central,
13s, and Western Union IL. Sugar was a
strong force on the market, leading the early
advance and general rally at the close, and
showed a gain on the day Of 15sc. Trading
in the bond market lacked feature, but ruled
generally higher. The aggregate sales were
s766, GOO. Governments were neglected, but
steady at Mondays closing prices. Sales,
81, 900.
The total sales of stocks today were 130-
915 shares, including: Sugar, 90,1OO; Burling-
ton, 1880; Chicago Gas, 14,S00; Omaha, 4,20O;
Reading, 1900; St. Paul, 4,S0O; Western Union,
IA 700; N. J. Central $500.

MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS, April 2S.-Wheat opened
higher and strong this morning in the face
of lower cables from England and the CONT
nent. Liverpool cables, however, did say that
the weakness there was entirely due to the
weakness shown on this side yesterday. Yes
terday the trade advised that the world S
shipments were something over 100000 bu
for the week. This morning we are assured
that the aggregate is only 3,2S2, 900 bu. Such
advices arc very unsettEng, to say the least.
New York reported that foreigners were do
ing but little early, but that later in the
day considerable inquiry developing,
which would likely lead to some large trans
actions before the day closed. This helped
10 keep our market strong. Trading was
rather light on the whole, but far more ac-
tive in July than In May. September is
gradually becoming an active future and will
shortly become the center Of interest. The
weakness yesterday was attributed to fine
weather and improved prospects for the COM
ing crop; also to the strong probability that
the war between Greece and Turkey was
about TO close together with the fact that the
export and domestic cash demand was net %
