NEW YORK STOCKS.

NEW YORK, April 16.-The tone of today's
stock dealings, while dull and depressed
gave no very active indications Of appre-
hension. 1t was a rather waiting market,
as for some time past. The transactions
outside of operations by professionals were
insignificant. Selling by traders found few
seekers, and prices consequently yielded very
readily. On the other hand when the pro-
fessionais turned buyers, they found no
stocks offering, and prices consequently cas-
lily recovered. Naturally, the net results of
this kind Of juggling from one hand to the
other and then back again were not large,
though the days price movement was pretty
wide.
The opening decline was due to sympathy
with London, where Americans all showed
heavy tone, and where Spanish fours re-
lapsed after yesterdays closing within X of
the lowest price made last Wednesday, in the
bear raid. European operators had appar-
emily lost their confidence in the efficacy of
the reported project for concerted mediation
by the powers. The active preparations be-
irg made by the United States admonished
observers that differences over the technicali-
ties of the Cuban resolutions were not ex-
pected to interfere with tn substance of their
action involving armed intervention
Some slight recoveries in the second hour
were due to covering by the shorts, but they
were not held, and the list showed net de-
clines in nearly all cases. for the most part
confined to fractions. Tobacco absorbed
large part of the dealings, and suffered a
loss of 9as on very heavy offerings. brought

HEAVY WHEAT DEMAND.
A Bulge OF Two Cents for the July
Option.
MARKET SUMMARY.
FINANCIAL.

CHICAGO, April 16.-The strength Of for
eign wheat markets and the belief that i'm
pending hostilities will cause rise in prices,
made wheat almost as strong today as it was
week ago yesterday, and resulted in an
advance OF &c in July. Corn made the un=1
usual advance Of nc, while oats closed 1s
@Ac higher. Provisions show little change.
Traders in wheat were treated to a gen
uine surprise at the opening. All foreign
markets came higher. Liverpool in particu-
lar was strong, showing advances ranging
from %@%d. The feature OF the advance
at Liverpool was the fact that the July price
there was 25c higher than the prevailing
July price in this market. or considerably
above the average shipping rates The open
ing trades in July were at from s54s@S59sc,
against S4a4 @s4Hc at the close yesterday For
a moment or two the market hesitated. Then
utes the buying demand was simply enor-
nous. Not until the price had advanced to
S7%c was there any market selling pressure
This price, however, was well above calls,
and selling against these privileges, coupled
with liberal realizing Of general Kind, put
a stop to the advance, and caused the mar
ket TO recede slowly to 86ssc. Apparently by
this time the demand for wheat had been
pretty we'll satisfied, and although the mar
ket reacted to S7Ac, it was done slowly, the
latter point not being reached until about
11:30 o'clock.
During the last half hour of the short Sat
urday session the market was comparative
ly quiet, but Arm, with prices keeping with
in nc margin.
Northwestern receipts were light, Mime
apolis and Duluth reporting 159 cars, against
III last week. and 724 year ago. Chicago
receipts were II cars. The addition to con-
tract stocks today amounted to lo 600 20 6 o1o
bu. Worlds shipments Monday are expected
to show about 100000 bu. Letters sales Of
July yesterday, which were placed at that
time at 100000 bu, were estimated today
by many as high as 100000, and this was
believed to have practically put him out Of
the July deal This belief was strengthened
by the fact that today his dealings were
comparatively insignificant The closing
price for July was S6Ac.
Corn was strong from the start. The price
at one time showed about a., cent advance rance
May ranged from 3o%c to 2s7sc, and closed

General trade in oats May ranged from 267zc

upon a sudden was shut, and the keys
caryed up to the Queene Jane; but
what was the cause l knowe not
1t does not much matter what the
cause was, but the incident clearly
shows that it was the custom at that
time to take the tower KEYS to the
person of the highest rank within the
tower.

mention, 1.-The upper porter of the
