1t is not known to what extent, if any,
the wheat sown before the late storm was
damaged by the frost. Farmers differ
on this point, some asserting that it will
prove to be complete loss, while others
maintain that the seed is not damaged
to any appreciate extent.
The fact remains, however, that after
the snow had thawed, leaving the ground
bare except under drifts, the weather
turned cold and for several nights the
ground froze to depth Of two or three
inches.

Opening Prices More Sluggishly Up

Around-Rally Killed by Selling of
U. S. Steel-Standard Stocks Ignore
Weakness.

New York, April 19.-Opening prices Of
stocks to-day moved sluggishly upwards a
small fraction and then waNered. Trans
actions were very small and only few
stocks were traded in.
A rise of u in Canadian Pacific and a
decline of y in United States Rubber were
the only notable changes.
AS soon as opening buying orders We're
worked off prices receded slightly. Fresh
purchasing orders came to hand at the
lower level and the market sold higher
than before. notably in st. Paul and the
Pacif1cs.
The refusal Of a Hartman petition to
intervene in the Northern Securities case
operated against Southern Pacific and it
reacted to below yesterdays close.
Active stocks fell off all around, but met
later support which carried them back to
the best. ST. Paul touched 145. Brooklyn
Union Gas and WESTINGHOUSE advanced
and Anaconda declined 1.
Selling down of United States Steel pre-
ferred IS, expended, killed the rally and
prices slipped back to below last night.
The market then became practically stag

Of Metropolitan Street Railway in the mar

Chicago said that market was flooded
with bad crop reports, but the fact that

affoat for Europe they increased 100000

This in itself would have been favorable
for the bulls, but on the corresponding

Before the close there was report Of the
sale of 16 loads at New York, the first

Broomhall's weekly foreign crop sum-
