Chicago Grain and Provisions

IHICAGO. Aprii IO.--tiraln speculation hung fire today while the doctors waiter for the Gov ernment crop report and tried to discount it. Conditions in wheat favored bears all day. but corn more than made up losses it met with early in sympathy with wheat. At the close May wheat was adi2c -ower. May corn tsMt4c up and May oats < down. Provisions closed 5m55s to loc higher
 Everything early in wheat was bearish Ca bies were lower. clearances small, the weather 10 these Was the opinion "t many that th" Government report of the April crop condi- tion would be bearish also. Receipts, while still small. were not so conspicuously light as yesterday. Under these influences May opened hassc to 'sqIsc lower at 72 to 7l7s and gradually worked down to 7Ih. The crowd showed little inclination to do anything one way or another. There was some fair early buying. but 1t had only temporary crops and a better business reported from the seaboard Corn strength which developed late to 72 but closed weak S@iac lower at 7iIs. Local receipts. 27 cars, none contract grade; Minneapolis and Duluth reported 27 ears. making a total for the three points of l54. against PA last week and 245 year ago, Primary receipts were 2e2, ,ooo bushels, com, pared to 4i6,ooo bushels year ago Sea board elearances in wheat and four equaled 379 900 bushels, against 792 900 bushels last year. The sesboard reported 22 loads taken Corn had the same sort of depressing news to start with as did wheat. but the Southwest ern cash markets overcame the bearish infiu- ences and a net gain was recorded. Cables were lower, the weather was warmer and the
 
 market. St. Louis and the Southwest bullish and reported liberal covering of short accounts. Commission houses took most of the offerings, much of it for the Southwest, The movement of corn was still small. Late in the day large local interests came into the market and bid prices up. Foreign bids had improved and New York reported cash sales for Australian shipment May slumped earl, to 58a e SSss. but sold back to 59is and closed firm. sai4c up al 5ea5els, Receipts. 30 cars
 Oats dull and weak. Fair selling on crop reports of good seeding conditions and the early corn weakness easily depressed prices. May was much weaker than the other options. Advices of better country movement hurt prices. but late report of good cash sales brought a partial rally. May sold down to 4Iss and closed 7s lower at 4l's. Receipts l24 cars.
 Provisions were active for short time but 1apsed into dullness with the general wait for the Government report, Hogs advanced in price and packers supported lard and ribs, There fair eash demand for the former Scattered selling for the outside depressed values for time. but late buying sent them up again and brought firm close all along the list.

Murphy 6 Co.'S (Inc) Cotton Letter

NEW YORK, April lo.-Liverpool this morn ing made fairly good response to our ad- vance of yesterday, though there was noth- ing to indicate any enthusiasm far the future market was concerned. Spots. however. were particularly strong. sales of IS 900 be- ing reported at advance of i-i6 to 5 i-i6. The movement showed signs of increasing. but this was considered due to the recent heavy demand for export and the general feeling around the opening was extremely bullish. New Orleans also opened up well and this in creased the disposition to expect higher prices in this market. Commission houses were also well supplied with orders and for the first half hour, the local market looked very strong. Later cables from Liverpool however, showed an easier tendency in that market and New Orleans also turned easier which de- veloped into something like weakness when tomorrows estimate for Houston was pub lshed showing 2,soo to 3.2oo bales expected against 794 last week and 3,2e6 last year. After decline of about 8 points on active months the market turned dull. with a firm undertone. though considerable profit taking was expected The weather throughout the belt yesterday. shown by this morning s map. was favorable for the backyard crop preparations and for increased movement Cotton is leaving the country rapidly however and the domestic spinning industry is in a very prosperous condition. taking the situation a whole.

CITY FULL OF DOORS.
Plenty of Ways of Earning Living When One Knows How to Look

Every now and then" said a New York woman who has knack of seeing and hear ing curious incidents. "I read something about how certain women in this great city make q living. But some of their struggles never get into print because. God help them. the Wo- men engaged in the struggle for their daily bread do not parade their grievances. With out any special desire to delve into the heart aches and tragedies, have, nevertheless. had nl! attention called to a few cases which are out of the ordinary
 For instance. one woman foldr circulars Broadway office and furnishes a night fceco in the same building with bottled milk, She cent and half on each.
 Another woman works half day in ar sick woman in the afternoon when the weather permits; watches the children of another fam ily that goes to the theatre every Saturday night, and accompanies the same children 10 Sund2y school the next day.
 Another no s dsrns h,n the socks of all the baehe dog out every day for constitutional
 Another makes two trips to the country several families in one block
 Another goes every Sunday afternoon to pump wind for an organ in a private resi- dence,
 Another is a harpist in a choir at two ser vices on Sunday ani gives lessons ir dancing to children two evening" in the week
 Another makes a good income hy ascer- taining from several steamships the residences of people who are going abroad and then go- ing to the places, where she assists in pack
 Another has a job of curling the hair of a number of children in the neighborhood where she lives and there is ahother who homes razors for a number of young men who are their own barbers.
 The list is a long one. but doubt not it could be heightened by inquiry, wh oh l have no curiosity to pursue. These incidents. [ suppose are usual in every great city And still the rush to the city continues. asked one of these struggling women day why she remained here, and she replied
 Well there is saving clause in the chapter of a great city like New YoHk-there is always something do, The town Is full pf doors and if one shuts another opens
 This explained the situation to some sK- tent but 1t wouldn't satisfy me.

 NEW ORLEANS, April l0.-Liverpo3l con- tinued in good behavior and today reported q further advance of and half points in deliveries. while the spot quotation was marked up ll6 with transactions amounting to I8. 900 bales.

The main strength Of th" situation lies in the spot department. where the demand continues active, and remaining holders are indifferent about selling. but even sentiment in favor of higher prices has not diminished in the least and 1t is evident that liberal speculative support will be accord ed as the occasions invite. Under the circum- stances. it is quite reasonable to expect con siderable resistance to any pressure that may arise from temporary swell in receipts and meanwhile any encouraging developments are likely to have a pronounced effect.
