THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
The shorts Take Profits on Wheat,
Corn. and Oats.

CHICAGO, April 2l-Wheat was dull and
steady, with shorts disposed TO take profits
There was more liquidation of May, and
considerable changing, especially by the
Northwest. Liverpool was unchanged, Paris
a shade higher, and Antwerp weak. / IA
lower. Primary movement was somewhat
smaller than last year, clearances being
AS. 600 bushels. There were 100, 900 bush
els of cash wheat taken for export. The
seaboard reported eighteen loads taken for
export The weather conditions could not
be more perfect for the growing winter
wheat crop and seeding in the Northwest.
The shipping demand for corn has been
poor. There was no change in the West
ern situation. The country offerings con-
tinue light. Liverpool was up I'D this
morning, and the local element which sold
so literally yesterday covered quite freely
in the first hour There was some pres
sure, however in the last hour from floor
traders.
There has been so lanch May selling of
oats of late that the July has gone to
premium of 1-4c over the May The ship
ping demand is poor particularly poor for
export. The market acts as if the West
was long.
Provisions had a further sharp decline on
a continuation of liberal selling that COM
menced several days ago, and which has
been mainly by miscellaneous holders,
though some of It has been for short &C
count. At times packers gave the market
support. and there was some investment
demand. The market closed quiet.

favorable The result will be an interest
ing week in stocks. 1t is difficult to pre-
dict what the outcome will be. but 1t seems
certain that for a time business will be
much smaller on account OF the fright OF
the public by the Gates operations, and 1t
is probable that prices will be Irregular
up in some quarters, and off in others. Sc
curities should not be bought except on
sharp breaks. The short side, however, wiil
not be attractive to careful people. VINO
understand the inherent great strength OF
the situation. the important interests IN
the market, and the certainty that in the
near future the advance in prices must be-
gin again.

The local stock market has been inter-
esting during the past week, particularly
on account of the revival of the rumor that
the Capital Traction Railway is to be sold
out to the American Railways Company,
or the Washington Traction and Electric
syndicate, or to The former as the agent
Of the latter possibly. Heavy inside buy
ing of Capital Traction accompanied the
rumor during the last two days Of the
week and the price of the stock advanced
from 102 and fraction to 1O5 and frac
ton, closing at the highest price yes
terday. The amount of the stock trans
ferred Friday and yesterday was phenom-
email even when 1t is compared with the
activity of the same stock few weeks
ago, when the same rumor was first
started and the stock advanced to no.
Fridays sales amounted to 1000 shares
and yesterday nearly 200 shares changed
hands An officer OF the Capital Traction
stated to a reporter for The Times on
Friday that In his opinion the Washing
ton street railway syndicate will ulti-
mately purchase the Capital Traction. He
would not make any statement as to the
immediate outlook for such a deal. The
street is watching the upward movement
Of the stock with much interest and
drawing its own conclusions, which are in
some cases optimistic and in others skep-
teal.
The new Capital Traction bonds sold
yesterday at 107 ga, for $1,000. The bid
and asked price at the close Of the call
was 107 1-2Ql07 rs. The scrip sold at
107 Ia Two lots of Columbia Railway s.
sold at liz.
There was much activity in Lanstcn
Monotype on several days during the week
and the price broke fractionally as the re-
suit of several heavy orders to sell The
fact that 13 is still bid for II, however,
despite this selling shows that somebody
has great faith in the stock either as an
investment or as a speculation. The total
sales for the week were several thousand
shares, the transactions on Friday alone
being more than 2.S00 shares.
Mergenthaler has been fairly active and
has held its own well, though the price
yesterday was fractionally off from that
OF the day before the Easter holidays. 1t
is probable that there will be an advance
between this and the declaration of the
quarterly dividend.
The bid price for the new Colonial In
surance stock is ITO "a. Business IN the
insurance securities has been small.
Metropolitan Bank stock continues to
advance as far as the price offered for IL

the highest price ever offered for bank

W. A. Porterfield, well known in Wash

and the forerunner of Murphy e. Co in
the big brokerage Office in Fifteenth Street
is to open for business again tomorrow at
1885 F Street, where Mr.. b. F. Wood has
been located recently. Mr.. Wood has sold
out TO Mr.. Porterield and will retire to
engage in other business. Mr.. Porterfield
has a great many friends among the spec
ulative fraternity and they will all be glad
to see him back in business again. 1t is

the close being at 80. 1t is not a stock at
present about which much that is cheerful
can be said as far as the immediate future
is concerned. No dividend is to be paid
by the company, according to the best in
formation, and the statement issued the
other day for February shows that the
business was less by several thousand dol
lars than it was year ago The subsidy

The average declines in the railway list
during the week were from two to three
points. The industrials suffered more gen.
orally, though there were one or two ex-
ceptions like General Electric, which
showed remarkable strength on account of
the fine statement of the company. The
strongest feature OF the railway list was
the anthracites and the soft coalers. Some
of these securities made net gains and
the declines in the others were not heavy,
except in Reading first preferred.

The Pacific securities generally have
been fairly strong although there was
some selling of Missouri Pacific yesterday
that looked suspiciously like Gould liqui-
dalton. For the moment there is no rea-
son TO buy the group, but on breaks they
will be safe purchases for much higher
prices in the not very distant future. The
same may be said of the grangers gener-
ally and of Rock Island especially.

The coalers are worthy of special men,
ton for several reasons. The coal situa-
ton of the world is remarkable. Almost
every European country is suffering from
an acute coal famine. Mills and factories
are being shut down everywhere, and fancy
prices are being paid for both bituminous
and anthracite. In this country there is
use for all that is mined and little more.
Prices are almost certain TO go much
higher than they are at present, although
the present level means millions OF dollars
a year more than last years rates did Tor
the mines and the coal railways. At no
time in the past history of these COM
panies has there been such bright Stu
alton, and such fine outlook. The result
of this has been shown during the past
week in some new record prices, and In
great strength in the entire group, but 1t
is likely to be shown even more conclu-
sively in the future. Reading first pre-
ferred is particularly well liked by careful
investors. and SO is Jersey Central. Erie
and Western and Norfolk and Western
securities are also favorites, although their
advance already has been large.
General Electric has been the steadiest
and the strongest stock on the list dur
ing the present year. Its advance has
been regular and rapid for many weeks,
and day or two ago II sold at the highest
price on record. The close yesterday at
