The market gave indications yesterday
that it is getting ready for an advance.
Several times during the day there were
small spurts in various stocks, which
seemed TO show that the public is willing
TO get into the market with slight en-
coursgement. At the same time there
was at the close of the day no advance in
prices In the general list and in many
stocks some little decline. The bears who
are not yet convinced that the bull move
ment is near at hand hammered the list
on every bulge, and with some success.
During the last hour money was bid up
tri1e and the market was sold by the
traders more heavily than at any time be
fore. The week TO date has been bullish
ore, although the level of prices is no,
much advanced, and il is certain that every
day in which there is no recession al this
time Of the year brings SO much nearer
the time for the bull movement The news
of the day was bullish, what there was of
II. Wheat news was better. with reports
OF much needed rains in Kansas and other
places. and talk OF the prospects of large
export demand. After the sagging of the
market at the close yesterday II seems
likely that the opening may be at a trifie
lower figure, but If this is the case the
opinion of the best critics Of the market
likely that there will be some buying OF
the market today and tomorrow in the ex-
pectation Of a good bank statement.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
A Rise In Wheat Lost on Kansas and
Nebraska Weather News.

Chicago. April 27.-Wheat advanced over
cent bushel at the opening today on
| reports of drought in Russia and higher
Liverpool cables. The demand, however,
was insufficient to sustain the improve
ment, and at the close it was all lost.
Paris and Antwerp were lower. Reported
rains in Kansas and Nebraska were the
principal influences causing the weakness
at the finish. There is no change in the
tenor of crop reports. The market is al
most entirely of a professional nature.

The sensation OF the day was the ad-
vance in Mergenthaler Linotype TO 206 on
heavy buying and clever manipulation to-
gether. The demand for the stock since
the very glowing letter OF President Dodge

has been apparently unlimited, and there
is every reason to believe that the price
has not yet nearly reached the top.

INC local stock market yesterday was

The local stock market yesterday was
again active and business large and impDr-
tant. There has never been such interest
by the public IN the sessions of the ex-
change before as during the past few
weeks The quick advance in prices of
stocks which have been held by people for
investment only makes these holders eager
for more stock in some cases and willing
10 sell in others, which results in good
business for the brokers. The amount of
business yesterday was over sl50.000, the
number of shares being close to 2,000.

or within 3-s of the highest point ever
reached by II. Heavy selling orders, ap-
parently from insiders, were then exc
cuted and there was drop to 1873 SIS.
From this the rally at the close was only
to 1Si. There is some uneasiness among
the bulls over the drop in the stock and
one prominent trader is said to have ex-
pressed the opinion that there will be a
further drive today and tomorrow. On
the whole, however, the balance of opin-
ion seems to be that the selling yesterday
was profit realizing simply and that the
advance will be continued with renewed
vigor for the short respite. Manhattan
Beach was also very weak all day and
there was a disposition to attribute the
weakness of the two stocks to inside
knowledge of something unfavorable in
the alleged deal between the roads. AS a
matter of fact Mr.. Flower and other au-
thorities have denied the story of the deal
from the first.

The wheat crop situation is undoubtedly
one OF the chief factors in the present mar
ket, and for this reason the present tend
ency on every hand to believe that the
worst OF the crop scare is over must be
considered a bull argument of considerable
weight, not only with regard TO the grang-
ers primarily, but in a secondary way the
entire market. Favorable weather in Kan
sas and other sections is reported. In ad-
dition 10 this the exports seem likely to
become more and more important from this
time on. Wheat was sold of yesterday, de-
spite the talk Of greater export demand,
the good news of the weather seemingly
being considered OF more moment. The
price at the close was nearly a cent OF
from the opening The granger shares were
strong yesterday morning at better prices
than any on Wednesday. but there was
selling OF the group later in the day. and
the close was at near the bottom prices.
A rally is due today. especially II the wheat
news continues good and the price OF wheat
is not advanced.

Manhattan refuses to be sold down with
persistency that many consider a very
bullish argument. The stock went off a
triie yesterday afternoon with the re-
mainder of the market, but it cannot be
said that the bears are having any sue
cess in their efforts, which are undoubtedly
strong. The bullish arguments for Man.
haitian are good. Underground transit is
certainly not a serious menace to Man
haitian at present. and the earning capacity
of the road will be much increased when
the electrical equipment is installed. 1t
seems likely that the price may advance
as the construction nears completion. But
at the same time there may be period
of inactivity in the stock for the present,
owing to the fact that earnings are likely
to be curtailed somewhat during the build
ing period. Brooklyn looks much the more
promising stock for an immediate advance.
