with the news and statistics of the

extremely bullish manner. Speculative

strength against Liverpools failure to
respond to advances on this side, and
laid the rest to a covering movement.
May wheat opened 1s@Ac to A@%c

houses bought on fairly liberal scale,
meanwhile selling Juy at a discount of
1ssc under May. On the advance local
shorts came into the market and in
bidding for tightly held wheat sent the
price UP to 75A @757sc. In this rally
sympathy with the corn market was
influential. The worlds visible show
ed an increase and caused selling from
both bulls and bears until the wheat
market reacted to 75s@7515c. Again
inquiry was renewed only. to find that
little was for sale. May vas forced

The absence 81 American subscrlp-
tions OF any important volume to the
new British loan excites comment
1t is due In part to the easier condi-
ticns OF the foreign market which re-
suited in price FOR the loan unat-
tractive to American investors, but there
can be no doubt that the narrowed
surplus of the resources OF the New
York money market had also to 90
with preventing American bids for the
loan. The rate OF sterling exchange
makes it evident that any considerable
subscriptions for American account
to the exchequer bonds would have
neces5itated gold exports. The Janu-
airy figures or exports of agricultural
products, showing an increase OF near
ly SIC, 600 600 over those OF the preced-
ing January make this condition the
more extraordinary. 1t is believed that
the return of American securities dur
ing the last few months have been in
much larger volume than any OF the
usually accepted statistics Indicate.
