New York, April 21.-It Is impossible to
say whether the purpose of the manipu-
Wire Co. episode has been accomplished.
The large dealings and the wide range
of prices in the steel stocks this week
have afforded opportunity for a consid-
cradle shifting of speculative accounts
While it must be conceded that only
radical change in the management OF the
Steel & Wire Co. will re-eStablish gen.
sible that manipulation may have vir-
tually accomplished the object of covering
short stocks sold at a materially higher
level 1t is not fair to judge other iron
and steel properties and arrangements
in the light of what has taken place in
steel and wire since the return of Mr.
Gates from his southwestern trip nor IS
there reason to believe that the efforts Of
men in one particular company to demon
a.lize trade conditions will succeed. There
are some offsets which may be offered
in the stock market to the unfortunate
influence of recent occurrences Affecting
the industrial stocks. There is consider
able market significance in the sharp ad-
vances which took place yesterday IN the
shares of the anthracite coal industry has
been reflected in the recent earnings OF
the hard and soft coal roads There Is
a very large investment holding of the
anthracite railroad shares and as most
of them carry a comparatively small cap
italization, it is common opinion that the
advanced were any projects to be devel-
oped which would increase the financial
strength of the properties or further
benefit the coal industry.

REAL MAD ABOUT 1T.
Spanish Paper in Mexico Discusses
Duke d'Arcos' Invitation.

City of Mexico, April 21.-Correo
Espanole, the organ Of the resident
Spaniards, says:
1.-The insult offered to the Duke d'Arcos
in the matter of the celebration of Ma
Mia day at Chicago, was deliberate and
Intentional although Mayor Harrison
was doubtless not guilty in this matter,
but some individual took it upon him
self to insult the representative of the
Spanish nation. The mayor naturally
got out of the affair in the manner
obligingly suggested by the minister and
the incident is at an end. But if this
is true in a diplomatic sense, it will not
be easy to forget for a long time, so
great an act Of rudeness which We re-
peat is quite in consonance with Yankee
usages and customs as the Duke OF
Veragua and the Infanta Dona Eulalie
can testify"
The Mexican Herald notes the effect
on Mexican internal trade of the great
American trusts and predicts a future
alliance of many Mexican industries
with American industrial monopOlies,
and compares Rockefeller to Napoleon
in practical genius, both being men of
creative force.
The American industrial organizer has
brought about such a change in Ameri-
can induStrialism as to have changed
the policies of the greater per cent
which has not become imperial in its
ambitions.

Goings Grain Letter.

The week just closing has marked a
rather erratic market in stocks Sugar
has had some violent fluctuations. finally
landing at about the bottom for the
week. Traders got short early in the
week and the clique gave them twist,
then the trade got long and another
twist resulted. These tactics were kept
up to the close of the week. No one but
plungers and the clique seem to trade in
this stock any more, consequently the
conservative trader stands but little show,
unless he happens to accidentally get In
on the right side. Peoples Gas was Sc
lected by the bears as shining mark
today and the curtain fell just as quota
lions touched the bottom and in fact this
is true in the whole Industrial list There
was a slight recovery in Steel and Wire.
but this stock is on the down grade and
will probably see much lower prices.
Bears are in perfect control and blocks
Of long stocks are being thrown on the
market The whole list was hammered
from start to finish today and the good
bank statement had but little effect on
the market. We believe the 1ndustrialS
are going lower. Missouri Pacific has

Grain LETTER,

WHEAT-The remarkably fine spring
weather, with bountiful rains all over the
liquidation of long contracts, which is
always held up with a great bugaboO to
frighten holders, all combined, resulted
in decline of 70 of cent in July wheat
for the week. Ten minutes before the
closing today the markets only showed
zc decline for the week.
When we consider the heavy Argentine
weather and lower cables it is apparent
to ne that cash da17ard for +I7a raSt ten
days has alone sustained the price of
wheat, yet there is a class of brokers
strength in corn and provisions was the
explanation of the strength in wheat
One of the brightest traders that we
know, and a conservative and successful
grain dealer, points out the fact that all
the wheat in sight now IS piled up in the
show windows and that farm reserves
will be practically exhausted before the
first day of July.
Bradstreet's made a. decrease in inter
Tor stocks last month of about fifteen
Bear traders must remember that the
price of corn in Chicago was sold down
to CSC for December on the strength of
a magnificent corn crop in Nebraska and
Kansas, and when we stated in these col
umns that our people to a. man were adj
vising the purchase of corn, the trade
"coppered' the tips to a man, and looked
wise They completely ignored the short
crop in all the Gulf states, as well as
Iowa and are doing the. same thing to-
day in wheat, viz: selling 1t short on
bright prospects in Kansas and Okla
homa, completely ignoring the govern
ment report figures, which Is a little be-
low an average for ten years, and the
fact that the great shortage is in reliable
winter wheat states Indiana, Ohio, and
Michigan, while the brilliant prospects
are in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas the
three most erratic states in the winter
wheat belt, where the crop is never GER
tain until harvested We are not going
to try to make any money on the short
side of wheat under CSC. The price may
work a little lower, but we are inclined
to think that traders will appreciate in

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago. April 21.-WHEAT-In a quiet
sort of way the wheat market was firm
today, opening a shade up and later by
tedious work adding another shade to
that. Steady cables. light receipts and
the corn strength were the factors. Re
ceipts here were SO cars, two of contract
grade, while Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ported 227 cars, compared with 200 last
week and 2y1 a. year ago. May opened
at 651zG3sc and sold at 653se; July at
66A07sc, touching $3.50.
The last hour of the session put the
market in a stronger position. Shorts
covered moderately out of consideration
for things which might happen Sunday
and the southwest was a fair buyer. A
few minutes before the close, the bulge
was lost on profit-taking by traders, but
the close was steady and a. shade over
yesterday, May at 6514M3sc and July at
66sz 05sc. A fair cash business was done
early.
CORN-The conr market was firm. help
ed by higher cables. The best trade was
buying for the long account, which some
interests are apparently intent on en-
larging. Receipts here were 235 cars. May
sc improved from yesterday at 395sQAc.
July later touched 3915d5sc.
Lack OF support IN corn turned against
the price later in the. session, and the
close was heavy, May sc lower at 3814c
July a, shade reduced from yesterday at
OATS-The oats market was quiet July
was firm, but May bit unsteady as
traders were changing that option for
ed a shade higher at 2301sc and sold off
to 22a4Q7sc; July began &c higher at 231s
axe.
PROVISIONS Provisions were quiet.
The market opened lower because OF easy
hog prices and estimates of liberal re-
ceipts next week, but steadied at the de-
cline on a fair cash business. May pork
opened ~ cents lower at $12.S21k and ad-
vanced to S12-9215; July cents down at
| $12.95, reacting to $500; May lard opened
SC lower at $7.o5. easing to $7.02I5; July sc
depressed at $7.1215GZ15, declining to $40

evening from Reno, New. the scene of
their marriage last Sunday and regis
tered at the Brown together with Stan
ley Watson, Lady Russell's son by a
former marriage. They left this morn
ing over the Burlington and expect to
be in London within three weeks. Meth
er the earl nor his wife made any OBJ
lection to talking freely of the marriage
and the outlook as the result of the
same. The earl was calm, not to say
Indifferent about the action of the Eng
lish courts regarding his marriage and
expressed the opinion that the charge
of bigamy would hardly stick.
