NEW YORK WHEAT MARKET.

NEW YORK, April 25.-The strongest kind of war prices ragged in all of the grain and provision markets this morning. Liverpool set the pace with sensational jump of 41@d514d advance in wheat quotations, and the bulls on this side after week of cringing before the bear element immediately secured the upper hand and squeezed the shorts to the tune of SAC a bushel before midday. It was time of extraordinary excitement in the local wheat pit Millions of bushels changed hands, and at times the ring in state of wild con fusion. The May option eaped to 15ls and July 95Ac, the latter compared with 9iBc at the close Saturday. It was well along toward the noon hour before the tremendous demand was satisfied and prices eased off little from the top. Besides the Liverpool strength. the local bulls were aided by reports that Russia was short of supplies and asking big advances for her wheat The prominence of that coun- try as a competitor of the United States gave this news great significance. Tho visible sup ply decrease of 3.24O. GOO bushels was twice as large as expected and also helped the forenoon strength.
 Later In the day the crowd sold out a part of its purchases, causing cent break from the top but renewed closing frmness left Anal prices 1s@5Ac net higher, near months show ing the greatest strength. About 4J0 loads of wheat 160 loads of and 650 GOO bushels of oats were taken for export at all ports to-day. May Wheat sold from s1 1la. to sl 16S. closing at the latter figure. July ranged from 96ssc to 99Ac. closing at 991sc.

RUSH OF GRAIN FROM THE NORTH

There probably never before such rush of wheat from the sound to California as there is just now," says the Tacoma Ledger chiefly a result of the failure of the Cali fornia crop this spring. Barley and Oat snip ments from this region to California are also ouite heavy Three or four almost exclusive cargo.s of wheat have been dispatched from Tacoma to San Francisco within the last three or four weeks The regular liners have been carving a great deal of the product. The Pa cifc Coast Steamship Company has 45Oo tons of wheat barley and oats, chiefly wheat, now in the warehouses. of Tacoma awaiting ship rlent to the Golden Gate on its steamers. Some of il will go the steamer Walla Walla, due here to-day from San Francisco, and the Willamette will be here tomorrow to load 2OOO tons of grain for the company. The Tacoma Grain Company will put part cargo of wheat in the steamer Alice Blanchard at Tacoma to- day for San Francisco, and will this after noon begin loading the steamship Cleveland at this port with 800 or 1000 tons of grain for the same destination. The Tacoma Grain Com pany yesterday finished loading the small steamer Rival on the lower sound with wheat for san Francisco, and chartered the steamer Iakme which arrived yesterday from Alaska, to take wheat from Portland to San Francisco. The Iakrne will proceed to Portland at once. The wheat being shipped from Tacoma to Cali fornia Is chiefly of q high-grade milling quail ity and a low-grade feed material"
