gain of 1c. Corn improved 1ac and

Reports of crop conditions were the
chief considerations again with wheat
spectators at the opening, and those
being of one unvarying tone of bad
ness, the market opened strong. Re-
ceipts here and in the northwest were
small, Chicago getting only 35 cars,

souri, weather bureau report of wheat
conditions in that State said many cor
respondents reported half the wheat
killed, and the Iowa State report claim
ed late sown wheat was about all dead
and early sown seriously damaged.
Private reports were almost unani-
mously of a discouraging character
with regard to the injury done. Those
were not repetitions of previous re-
ports, but from fresh sources. May
wheat opened ss@1kc higher at 71M@
71@c, and during the first two hours
rose to 727sc. At that point, however,
realizing commenced and forced the
price again to 711a@715sc. Damage
claims again became popular, however,
and were given the most consideration.

WOOL.

Boston, April 1.-THE American
Wool and Cotton Reporter will say to-
morrow:
Some of the large wooden mills, in
Guiding both those which are in the
combine, have been represented in the
market during the past week, and have
purchased very literally of WOODS. The
Washington, Wanskuck and Pacific
mills have been especially prominent
and they have taken some very large
lines of territories, Oregon and quarter
and three-eighth blood feeces. The
sales of territories alone aggregate
over 100000 pounds which, combined
with those of other lines, make total
business for the week of nearly S000,-
900 pounds. There is no change to note
in prices, however. The sales of the
week in Boston amount to 1851 900
pounds domestic, and 466,500 pounds
foreign, making total of 7,927,500
against a total of 4,24S,S00 for the pre-
vious week. and a total of 5S0,S30 for
the corresponding week last year. Sales
since January /, 1899, amount to ST.
003,80O pounds, against s40,727,810
pounds last year at this time.

Vance induced heavy liquidations, but
q general tone of strength prevailed
until the afternoon, when some sharp
recessiOns occurred. The killing Of
American and English navy officers in
Samoa seemed to arouse apprehension
in some quarters of further complica
tions. Among the specialties strong
features were Brooklyn Transit, Con-
solidated Gas, Peoples Gas, Sugar and
the iron and steel shares Baltimore
& Chic issues, Norfolk & Western pre-
ferred and Northern Pacific were
strong. Foreign houses were early
purchasers but resold about half as
much on the local rise. Some of the
foreign purchasing was connected with
London's fortnightly settlement. A
number of shorts were driven to cover
early, owing to the commission house
demand, especially for industrials, be-
cauSe of more liberal position taken
by n number of banks toward such
stock. The market closed steady.
There was more activity in railroad
