the salvation Of the race, the hope Of

NEW YORK, April 16.-The down.
ward course of lead in London was un-
abated to-day, prices having further de-
clined 3s Cd to f12 Is Sd, touching the
lowest figures in years. The principal
cause attributed to the weakness Is the
heavy shipments from this country:
New York alone shipped 1900 tons
abroad since the first Of April. Lead In
local circles, however, remains inactive
and unchanged at s437h. There was
a sympathetic rise of about Is points
on bid figures for tin to-day as prices
took another move upward in London.
Trading, nevertheless, was very slow
and our market closed firm but quiet
at 26.00G26.50. At London the close
was firm at Eli q Cd on spot and

undertone was prevalent In copper
prices were more or less nominal ow-

CHICAGO, April 16.-Grain markets
all advanced to-day, but wheat broke
near the end on realizing and closed
Ac lower, while oats and corn held,
closing %c higher for the former and
bc improved for the latter. Provis-
ions closed easy, 10@121ac lower.
During the first two hours the wheat
market looked strong. The weather
maintained a ~seasonable perfection and
receipts were liberal. But, on the
other hand, there was a collection OF
considerations more potent at least
early, when the market advanced &c.
Liverpool showed appreciation of the
advance here yesterday, and with this
in mind, opening bids were from Is to
NC improved for May which changed
hands from 70Bc to Tic. Local selling
forced the market to 70Ac a few min
utes later. The strength Of the coarser
grains made itself felt at this juncture,
however, and the holders hurriedly
covered, impelled by a report from Ok
lahoma that the crop Of that territory
had been damaged rs per cent. by fly;
liberal seaboard ~clearances, a heavy WIS.,
IDLE decrease and a prediction of frost
for Kansas. May rallied and advanced
slowly to 71hc during the forenoon.
When covering ceased and longs at

dropped sharply to 7o% @7Ohc. Elk
porters reported AZ loads taken. Sea-
board c~learances in wheat and -four
were equal to SOC, 900 bushels, while
primary receipts were 318, 900 bushels
compared with 344 900 bushels a year
ago. Local receipts, 134 cars, none of
contract grade. Minneapolis and Du-
luth reported 300 cars, against I'll last
week and 271 the corresponding day of

Moderate activity and a considerable
degree of strength characterized the
corn market. The weather. which was
SO bearish in wheat, was the contrary
from the corn traders standpoint. as
it blocks the movement, which is very
small anyway. and makes the ground
unfavorable for the seed. The opening
wa about unchanged, although at that
time the bull leader sold liberal ouan-

NEW YORK, April 16.-The market
opened dull to-day under the influence
of general low prices, and the first
hour was very spotted" some stocks
advancing, while others declined. Col
orado Fuel was the bouncing balloon
of the day, opening at S8h, advancing
to 90k quickly. and then declining to
70 in about twenty minutes, rising again
to 81, and closing firm at 85A. These
antics were supposed to be due to the
manipulations of Gates, Lambert, and
others, and the stocks has taken the
place of steel wire as a queer thing.
United States Steel opened weak at
a., selling down to 93A, the low
price since the recent advance. The
stock afterwards rallied to 95, closing
firm at 94A. Common closed at 48h, a
decline of 1A over yesterdays close.
The low point of the day was 40, with
the high place 40. The close was
strong at 1914.
Burlington and the roads Influenced
by the pending deal, now believed to
have been consummated, including
Northern Pacific and the Fries, were
easily the features of the market. Bur
lington opened at 1S9, declined to 1871,
and jumped phenomenally to 1875, clos
ing strong at 194N. Northern Pacific
common opened strong, 1 per cent.
eX-div. at 983s, the same as the close
on Monday, and then dropped to SO,
but o o passed par, and neal the close
the stock was quoted at 105A, closing
strong at 104. This advance was due
to the announcement Of j. J. Hill that
negotiations for the control of the Bur-
lington had been completed. 1t wal
also stated that while the Erie would
not be a part of the trans-continental
line, it would be the Eastern outlet and
would reap large benefits. Erie first
preferred opened at 70h, closing at
TN; second preferred opened at STU,
closing at 60h. The bulk of the trad
ing in Fries was in common, which
opened at 3SM and closed at AIS, with
sales of las, 900 shares.
