CHICAGO. April Wheat averaged
higher on the steady tone to foreign mar
kets and the strength in corn. The feature
was the widening OF the May and July diff
ference to / lie. The acreage statistical
returns were generally bearish. Primary
receipts were 15o0OO bushels less than last
year and clearances were $4,000 bushels
There was no cash business done here.
May corn touched 80 IL. There was
large export demand. Sales from here were
probably around eco bushels. Clearances
were 7OG.0 Gee bushels. Gables We're about
steady. The demand was largely from
shippers against cash business. The selling
was in the way Of realizing.
Oats gained l-S61-4c. chiefly matter
Of sympathy with corn. Spring work is at
hand. and the countrymen are apparently
getting in the mood Of holding oats. al
though no one claims any lack of supply.
The visible increased $50 600 bushels. Re
ceipts were 224 cars. Tuesdays estimate
is 315 cars.
Buying on outside orders advanced sharp
" at the opening. Notwithstanding the hog
market was sc lower. This market con-
tinues to rule strong on buying by pack
ers. and closed firm at the improvement.
A large line of long lard was thrown on
the market. and was well taken by pack

NEW YORK. April 2-Business was re-
suned on the Stock Exchange this morn
ing with no change in the essential condi-
tions governing the speculation over sun
day. As was to be expected the market
opened at sharp and general advances.
Sugar Refining being the only exception oil
any note The dealings iR the first hour
were in tremendous volume, and they re-
nected an unusual distribution OF specu-
lative interest The feature Of the early
dealings was the exceedingly heavy proht-
taking selling that appeared in all
quarters On the other hand foreign
houses continued to buy here in large vol
ume and there was further notable eN-
ransicn in commission house buying.
The realization OF profits was, how
ever. in sufficient volume in the forenoon
TO check temporarily the rising tendency
of prices and there was a significant fall
ing away in activity upon the resultant
reaction Subsequently, however. the
market developed renewed strength and
activity under the leadership Of the
granger shares. which all advanced with
particular rapidly.
As noted. there were no changes in any
Of the important features Of The situation
over Sunday and apparently the heavy
profit realizing Of the morning was in
duced simply by considerations respecting
the rapidly and extent OF the rise in
prices within the past fortnight Today
was likewise bare of important develop
mcnts other than the February statements
Of q number of important railways.
Sterling exchange was firmer but
money market conditions showed no al
iteration. General satisfaction was eN-
pressed at todays advices from Washing
ton relating to the desire Of the Admins
tration for a revision Of the internal
revenue laws. II such legislation can b,
enacted at this session Of Congress it viii
virtually assure a stable money marcel
throughout the year.
In consequence Of the mornings heavy
profit taking sales the market had o more
irregular appearance than IL has shown
since the general rise in prices set IN TWO
weeks ago. The movements IN the indus
trial quarter were particularly violent and
erratic. all OF the so-called steel indus
trials advancing rapidly at the opening Of
business and subsequently reacung with
notably severity.
The local traction shares were neglected
throughout the day and with the eNcep-
ton OF Brooklyn Rapid Transit. were
heavy. The most pronounced advances
In the market were in General Electric,
PEOPLES Gas Anaconda Mining and nOta-
bly, lake Erie and Western. common and
preferred. Sugar Refining moved counter
to the market throughout the stock
breaking sharply al the opening Of bust
ness. when the general market moved
upward while il recovered nearly the
whole of its initial loss during the general
reaction Of the forenoon. Competitive Ie-
auctions in the selling price Of coffee were
announced today, and they furnished
further evidence, if any is needed, that the
trade war is still on In undated yigor.
