THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Wheat Rules steady i'm Spite Of

CHICAGO. April l9.-Wheat was rather
steady in spite of the general bearish ad-
vices. The feature Of the market was the
light offerings Of May. Traders sold July
freely, but were quick to take proiitsy
being nervous over the Southwestern stu
alton. Clcarances for the day, $4,000
bushels; for the week, 1906, 600 Argentine
shipments, HOO bushels. Worlds ship
ments will be about 5000 900 bushels. Cash
sales were 100000 bushels.
Corn was easier early owing to free
selling of July by local professionals and
pit traders. The feature was the action
of the leading long interest. as il has been
for more than week, selling May on
hard spots and buying July on the weak.
The strength Of the situation continues in
,he light country movement. ToGays ac-
ceptdnces were small; primary receipts
only 243,000 bushels. Cash sales, 100 900
bushels Argentine shipments for the

There was a runaway market yesterday
the most wildly buoyant yet seen, with
tremendous advances all over the list and
with close to the largest days business
ever transacted on the exchange. The
opening was al an advance of a point or
more in many securities, and at no time
during the day was there any apparent
suggestion of a prepOnderance of realiz-
ing orders. Reactions of half n point or
80 were the best that could be accomplish
ed by the bears. The net gains for the

highest, though in the most buoyant Sc
curities the last quotations Of the session

Union Pacific and ST. Paul were two of
the most buoyant stocks on the list. and
both made new high price records. Union
Pacific went to par and closed at that
price. St Paul went to 1925, or above the
best price reached by it in the great bulge
of two months ago. 1t also closed at the
top notch. St. Paul made a net gain of
seven points and Union Pacific a net gain
of four points from the close of the night
before. The buying of the two stocks
was tremendous all day. The boom un-
doubtedly may be attributed to the talk
of deal between these two systems to

lie are doing the rest. AS has been pointed
out in this column on several occasions
of late Union Pacific has been one of
the securities most deserving of an ad-
vance, aside from any deal prospects. Its
earnings are considerably larger than
those of the Northern Pacific, and its
dividend prospects quite as good. One
of the rumors has been of an increase in
the dividend in the immediate future. but
of this there is no official confederation.

The Atchison securities were also
doomed in a handsome way yesterday,
much to the qualification of those that
have held them in the confident belief
that they must join the procession of adj
vance. The earnings of the Atchison
company have been one of the wonders of
the railway world for many months.
They equal 8 per cent on the preferred
stock and a surplus of per cent on the
common. 1t was not reasonable to sup
pose that such a preferred stock would
continue to sell below par. During the

In sharp contrast with the buoyancy of
these securities was the sluggishness. if
not actual weakness Of Northern Pacific
and Burlington. Neither made any ad-
vance for the day. The pressure to sell
these stocks was heavy. and II they are to
be advanced further 1t can only be done
by immense further purchases, which 1t
is not believed that the insiders wish to
make, or by the most adroit manipulation.
Burlington is likely to get to 200 II would
seem, but II may be shot up to that level
on some after noon just before the market
closes. The offer of the Hill people is
500 In per cent Northern Paciic-Great
Northern bonds for one share of stock,
Morgan e. Co. having agreed to underwrtte
10000 900 Of the new issue at par. This,
il will be seen, is equivalent to an offer
of 30 for the stock. The trouble with put
ting the price up to that figure is that
there are a large number of people that
are willing to sell out a little lower, for
fear that IL viii not be held long enough
for them to get out at the top notch This
fear is a very reasonable one all things
considered Burlington stock is not worth
200 on the basis OF its best earnings rec
ord, and when Mr. Hill offers that price
he must be doing so because he expects
to sell out his bonds quickly IS posi-
bic. 1t should be pointed out that while
the control of the Burlington VIII be safe
vaults there Is no good reason why every
dollar of the bonds may not be sold out
to the public for what they will bring.
If they can be sold for 50 this Will be
equivalent to 10 for the stock, which
would be a good profit the stock did
not average in price probably over $50 to
100.
The times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1897-1901, 1901-04-20

Another factor that has made the com
mon stock buoyant is the expectation of
a dividend next month. The directors of
the company will meet shortly to take
action on the dividend. 1t is said that
there is dispute over the rate whether
1t shall be IL or per cent for the half
year. But there is no dispute over the
proposition that the dividend shall be
paid Atchison common went to Il yes
terday and closed at 70lz. The common

sylvania stock was also buoyant. getting

The news of the day, aside from the ru-
mors regarding the various deals, was in
the main satisfactory to the bulls Lon
don was a purchaser of American stocks.
Money was easier. The banks have
gained in cash during the week and to-
days bank statement will be a good one
in all probability. A Philadelphia paper
yesterday published a cablegram from
London to the effect that ]. p. Morgan is
suffering from heart trouble and has con-
suited an eminent London specialist. The
statement was made in the story that the
result of this consultation is not known.
The story was pronounced to be wholly
fiction by one of the later London cable

The look OF the market yesterday All
day was that il was good for "A further
advance today and Monday at least 1t
seemed to be firmly in the control of the
insiders still. This fact, of course, does
not make the present prices on such
stocks as Burlington and Rock Island and
st. Paul any more legitimate, if, as some
of the best market people believe. they
are not warranted by intrinsic conditions
but are held up for the purpose of selling
out. For this reason many such authori-
ties advise the selling out of long stocks
of this character on such bulges as that
Of yesterday. As has been stated in this
column repeatedly. there are numerous
stocks that are not too high in price on
the basis of intrinsic conditions. These
stocks will be bought on the reactions
and probably will advance considerably
further during the coming few months.
There should be no expectation of a gen
eral and violent slump. The insiders do
not wish il. They will sell out some
stocks while they are putting up others.
one of the best features of yesterdays
market was that the best gains We're
made in just those stocks that have been
picked out as deserving of further adj

ties the Goulds. the Fries, Norfolk and

The Hatchet Idea Spreading.

From the Chicago News.
 In a world where so many people are stronger in the biceps than in the cere- brum Sister Nations plan would evident ly invite imitation. Several Westside Ia dies who enthusiastically adhere to the doctrines of John Alexander Dowie have adopted the Kansas plan to their own purposes and smashed the glassware in drugstores They stand exactly upon the same plane with the billigerent Mrs. Ma tion. Considering drugs an invention of the evil one they propose to root out the evil with their good hatchets.
 The hatchet idea seems to be spreading. It would be a perfectly logical develop ment if the opponent of John Alexander should repair to Zion with their little axes, intent upon establishing the right if they had to chop up every mirrow and electrolier In the place. Why should the homeopaths waste words arguing with the allopaths when hardware is so cheap and allopathic property so de- structible? There are differences in re- ligion, but why dispute about them when you can take an ak and batter down a door?
