NEW YORK, April 1.-THE Commercial Ad-
vertiser's London financial cablegram says: The
markets here were mainly occupied to-day in
discussing the effect Of the new stamp duties.
1t is thought they bear unduly Americans
generally, owing to the practice of frequently
renewing scrip certificates, and particularly on
low-priced shares. the tax being on the nom
inal value. Arbitrage business also suffers at
Amsterdam particularly.
Americans were dull at parity until New
York bought. The close at the best, but
there were losses on the day.
Money was easier. The bank repaid its bor-
rowings Eighty-one thousand pounds sterling
gold in bars was bought by the bank.

NEW YORK, April l4.-Trading was rather
sluggish most of the day, transactions only
slightly exceeding half r. million shares. Lo-
cal transportation shares continued prominent
in the dealings, while the railroads moved with
in narrow limits. The idea that Brooklyn
Transit might benefit by some of the mooted
electrical combinations made the stock in keen
request The stock sold ex the subscription

points while Metropolitan, after an early
display Of strength, broke points, closing with
a net loss of 3. Among other strong speciaIties
were Sugar. Peoples Gas, Continental To-
bacco. Federal Steel, Rubber and Lead. The
two last named rose 3 and respectively. The
railway list, although neglected most of the
day was strong in the late dealings Influ-
ences at work on sentiment were easy money,
hopes Of a favorable bank statement to-mor-
row and rather better reports on wheat. No
Die ana ONO advanced on small dealings on
the belief that a deal was pending which would
serve the read an entrance to Chicago over
the st. Louis Short Line. 4 number of brok-
ers have requested large time loans so as not

any possible squeeze in money. Transactions
Tor foreign account were very small. In the
final dealings the pressure against traction
stocks caused some recessons from the best
prices, but the undertOne good.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, April 14.-General strength abroad
and continued bad crop news gave wheat
strong start May opened s@%c higher at
from 75c down to 74Ac, and rose to 75sc. At
wheat For about twenty minutes, however,
there were shorts enough desrous of stopping
further loss on previous sales to absorb offer
ings, and the market held steady. The bears
took fresh courage when 1t became evident
that liquidation was to continue and several
short who had covered early commenced to
sell again. When both longs and shorts had
wheat for sale at the same time 1t was
impossible to find buyers enough and that
state of affairs resulted in a punctured boom.
The price of May, inside of hour, dropped
to 74Ssc. Short selling was encouraged by the
heavy shipments of wheat from Argentina this
week. which amounted to nearly 3,000 900
bushels. Predictions of possible showers in
Illinois and rainy conditions in Missouri and
Kansas also accelerated the decline. The mar
ket became very irregular over a somewhat
range during the remainder of the
forenoon succeeding the time of the early de-
cline The Modern Miller declared that the
whole wheat situation showed a notable i'm
provement and that the advices had become
distinctly better during the week. On that
authority. as against all the others of differ
ent kinds. the price attacked and forced
few notches lower than 1t went in the fore
