Corn Deal Is Over.

CHICAGO, April 20.-May corn had
a savage break of PA cents yester-
day, with Armour an open seller. The
general impression was that the big
line held by that house has been quietly
lquidated during the last two weeks
and that the deal is practically over.
The Armour selling began short
ly before noon and for an hour
the pit was in a turmoil, anxious longs
dumping their lines, fighting to get rid
of their corn before the bottom went
out of the market One representative
of the Armour company sold person
ally fully 100000 bushels of May and
made no effort either at concealment
or support when the break got under
way.
The Armour line originally was gem
orally estimated as high as 15.000,000
bushels, and it was accumulated most
ly between AZ and SO cents. The clos
ing price yesterday for May was 49%
cents, just pa cents under the final
figures of yesterday.

MINN EAPOLIS.

Minneapolis-Wheat had another bad
break and May was off to 9115 0915sc by

damper on any reactionary firmness that
might have been starting. and it was not
long before selling began all around. The
market slid off to 92C, halted a moment
and then broke through. Heavy pressure

ferred is Further Depressed.

NEW YORK, April 20-The volume of
dealings in stocks dropped off again to-
day and the price movement became very
uncertain and sluggish. These character
Istlcs gained in force as the plane of the
market got away from last nights level
either above or below, until the move
ment came to a standstill and then turned
feebly in the other direction. The action
of the market thus plainly indicated the
operation of room traders of a small class
and Of timid convictions. The new di-
rection to be taken by the contest for con-
troll Of Northern Pacific is the subject
most largely discussed by spectators, and
the opinion is quite universal that this
overhanging influence is the cause of the
stagnatiOn in the market. This feeling
finds expression in London as we'll as
here and diverts all interest from Ameri-
the course of prices today, however, it
was quite noticeable that the Pacifics
were inclined to take the lead of the
movement.
The reports of rains in the western
portion of the winter wheat belt may
have had some influence upon the group.

other.

UnfavorabIe Influences.

The unsea sonable weather and actual
interruption to traffic by snow in the
North were not favorable influences upon
values. The heavy losses by the Toronto
fire made minor influence towards re-
action. The appearance of advertisements
inviting bids for $37, 600 900 of New York
city bonds was of mixed influence. This
is the largest block of city bonds ever Of
fered in one lot and this is accepted as
indicating growing confidence In the IN
Vestment demand for securities. On the
other hand the requirements for taking
up so considerable a mass are calculated
to affect the absOrptiYe power for other
securities, as the railroad note issues
have done. The export of $1,5OO,OOO in
gold was little noticed, since the amount
is little more than half Of yesterdays re-
ceiptS of Japanese gold.
The reserves of foreign banks are grow
ing in common with our own, with the ef-
feet Of increasing confidence against a
possible strain The possible source of such
a strain which is most attentively watch
ed by the financial world is the large
quantity of Russian bonds held by French
investors. These investors have hitherto
held with apparent confidence, but
common movement amongst them to liqui-
date would constitute strain on the
worlds financial fabric. Today's reports
the publication Of the Iron Ages trade
review increased the weakness in the
iron and steel stocks: The local fractions
made some recovery from yesterdays de-
cline and Consolidated Gas was affected
by the withheld action on legislation af-
fecting it. The market closed dull and
