LIQUIDATION HURT WHEAT.
A Slight Break Due to the Bearish
InGuences.

Chicago, April 15.-The wheat market
felt today the liquidation of Friday.
Gables were lower. Liverpool off Cd fnd
Paris off somewhat. Exports for the week
from this side were less than two million
bushels and America contributed almost
million less than Argentine to Europe
for the week Seaboard clearances today
were $4,000 bushels. Prices early we're
steady. There was no appreciable change
IN the crop news. In the first hour prices
were LID over Friday. They closed about
one-half cent under. Increased trade in
July is making it relatively stronger than
the May. Shipping demand is slow.

One Of the interesting features of the
last hour was squirt in the coalers. This
group has entirely failed to fulfill expecta-
tions during the week. and until after IL
o'clock yesterday had been very dull, in
fact. A few moments before the bank
statement appeared large buying in Della
ware and Hudson began, and the price was
forced up from lis 1-2 10 123. Like ad-
yances in the other stocks of the group
followed, and were helped along by the
public. which has been waiting for this
movement in the coalers. Reading first
preferred went up from So 1-2 to 81 Is
Ontario and Western from 26 3-S to 2S. and
Jersey Central from lis to 120. No expla-
nation was offered for the spurt in these
shares or for the decline which followed
quickly. The advance consumed perhaps
ten minutes, and within another ten min
utes large part of the gain had been lost
Activity in the coalers, however, and even
erratic activity, is to be considered good
sign, and there was good buying of all these
stocks in the last half-hour in the expecta-
tion OF developments this week. 1t is prob
able that there will be an unofficial an
nouncement of some arrangement among
the roads. :.

The past week may be considered one of
the most bullish of the spring in its actual
happenings and in its promise of advancing
prices TO come in the near future. From
The opening last Monday to the close yes
terday there was gradual advance of the
level in nearly the entire list, and in many
stocks the loss of the break on Friday a
week ago was more than made up. With
this record until yesterday there was a
magnificent bank statement to close the
week. and also there was an apparent plen-
ty of money reflected in easy money rates,
and much less stringent scrutiny OF COL
lateral. There is nothing unpleasant 10
look forward to, and in the main the Wall
Street authorities predict higher prices this
week and general boom all over the list
but especially in the industrials. Money
viii probably continue easy, the crop re-
ports viii likely improve, and Mr.. Flower
and his friends are still very bullish in
their predictions and actions. Three such
hopeful matters, with the influence of the
bank statement on the public Imagination.
can hardly fail to start the week with
higher prices, and after that, unless some
thing Unforeseen occurs, the advance
should continue.
The bank statement is the best for many
weeks. There is. in fact, nothing except
reserve shows very large increase. the
loans are cut down ten millions. and the
amount OF cash on hand is Increased. All
OF these items may be traced in large
measure TO the action of the banks week
ago In shutting of loans on the Industrial
stocks. They all show also a conservatism
on the part of the banks which augurs well
for more stability in the range of prices
for some time to come at least. The fig
ures Of the statement follow:
Reserves increased s4.452. 200.
Loans decreased SO, ,355, 200.
Specie increased $685.. 400.
Legals increased 81 ,S4S, 200.
Deposits decreased Sc. 4ss 400.
Circulation increased S19, 400.
The amount OF reserve in the banks is
something less than s2o,O0O, 600. which is
little more than half the amount for the
same week last year.
The course Of the market yesterday was

There is excellent buying of Mobile and
Ohio partly on account of its deal with
Tennessee Coal and Iron, and partly be-
cause OF its already large earnings. The
company has made large Improvements
recently, costing a great amount of money,
and at the same time has been able to
earn per cent on the stock. The present
price therefore seems very small.
The times., 1899-04-16

The grangers were stronger and more
in demand than at any time before dur
ing the week. This fact is to be account
ed for in the continuance of more reas-
suring news regarding the wheat crop.
Wheat went down in price trifie. the May
option closing at ~ 81 and the July at
73 5-S. There was no surprise in thsse
developments for the careful people in the
street who had expected to see a change
for the better in the wheat predictions 1t
any time, and who had bought the
grangers with this end in view. Bur.ing-
ton went as high as 142 1-2 and closed at
li2. St Paul advanced to f27 rs and
closed at 127 "a. Rock Island went up 10
III SIS and closed at III Ia. Atchison
firctuated within narrow limits, but closed
at the top price for the day, 81 ga. All
these figures have good promise in them
for advances this week. Atchison espe-
cially is looked upon as good purchase,
despite the statements that the whsat crop
in Kansas is the chief sufferer.

Tennessee Coal and Iron was not so
active yesterday as the great boom in the
STOCK on Friday had led many to expect.
There was realizing nearly all day and
the price attained on Friday was not held.
II IS interesting 10 note, however. that
the buying was good also, and that the
people who predicted the advance We're
equally enthusiastic yesterday. II may be
stated on excellent authority that the COM
pany has almost completed a deal TO sell
ITS railroad property to the Mobile and
Ohio. which, in turn, is TO make an ar
rangement for closer relations with the
Southern Railway. The earnings of the
company in the past few months have
been enormous and they have been made
by the mines and the plants. and
not by the railway, so that the
outlook for the company in the fu-
ture Is excellent. Authorities who have
studied the condition of the company state
that the present earnings and the pros
poets for the immediate future warrant
10 for the stock and better.

Brooklyn Rapid Transit was perhaps the
most notable stock on the list. 1t ad-
vaneed to 1877, which, with the rights,
makes the quotation equal to nearly 40.
This is, of course, the highest price ever
reached by the stock. The high CT two
weeks ago was 1856 The movements of the
stock were somewhat erratic. the declines
being almost as rapid as the advances, but
there was an unmistakable demand at all
times. and ii seems certain that the price
will be further advanced this weak. 1t
seems probable that $50 will be reached
before many days have passed, but always
there is the doubt and the large chance
that break Of 10 or 20 points may come
when IL seems strongest. However the
banks and other lenders OF money are more
critical regarding Brooklyn since the
panic and the brokers more careful as to
the size of margins, SO that the danger of
another such slump is much lessened. Mr..
Flower still talks higher prices. and still
buys stock The Sunday business of the
system today is likely to be immense,
especially If the day is warm and sunny.
The rights in Brooklyn should be a good
purchase.
