 ". M. q. A.

Y. M c. A. Paris, April 29-The business ses- sions of the worlds conference of the Young Mems Christian Association were concluded today And the dele gates are now attending a series of receptions.
 Ambassador Porter said in welcom- ing the delegates at the American em- bassy: You men are able to do more good than we ambassadors with our boasted treaties. I was brought up as man of war but I am now a man of peace. The peace of the world is our joint concern. When you make people desire peace above all things then the rulers cannot make war even if they want to. ] am glad to return to a country where 1t is a disgrace to be bor."
 Lord Kinnaird, one of the vice pres idents of the conference, addressing the American delegates, said the Young Mems Christian Association in America led the entire world, having half of the worlds membership, em- ploying more officers and spending more money than all the other coun- trise combined. He declared that America gave a type of the associa- tion for all lands to copy.
 John Wannaker in the course of a speech said the words of Sir George Williams, the venerable founder of the Young Mems Christian Association, we must fight" gave the watchword for the younger men to pr ass forward as never before.

WALL STREET REVIEW
LIQUIDATING STORM SWEEPS AWAY
 ALL SUPPORT.
Condition of Distrust on Stock Exchange Which has Been Growing for Some Time, Breaks in
 Sndden EurY.

New York, April 2s.--The condition of distrust in the stock market which has been growing for some time, broke into a furious storm of liquidation today and swept away all support
 Selling under pressure ot necessity found practice and the slump in prices was the result. The weakness was multiplied by the decline in prices ana many additional offerings were forced upon the market by lenders Of money solicitous for the value of their collateral. by specu1ators desirous of limiting their losses, and by holders on margin who were forced out by their brok- CTS as the margins were wiped out
 The conditions which resulted were those ct panic. The professional bear operators. of course, added their efforts to aggravate the slump. The violence of the decline, the urgency of the selling and the lack of con- fidence argued by the small demand to buy at any stage of the decline naturally gave rise to many rumors of financial difficult ties. The pressure under which the mem bers of speculative pools and various stock market plungers were laboring suffi- ciently obvious. but to this was added fears of financial weakness fin more important quarters Nothing developed affecting in . trinsic conditions to account for the ehor- nous liquidation
 The bank statement made a strong show ing, the considerable loan reduction togeth- CT with effective increase in cash ex- banding the volume of the surplus by over one-third to nearly $1.000.0o0. The break in the market could not be traced to money market conditions, although next weeks heavy requirement. received some atten- tion. The tone at the closing gave no clear evidence that the storm had passed prices in some cases closing at the lowest with the furious activity undbated
 It was 20 minutes after the signal for the closing before the reporting of the ac- cumulated transactions the tape was completed The extreme losses extend very generally from 1 to points and for Buff falo. Rochester & Plttsburg there was de cline of 11A, Northwestern preferred 9A, Cleveland Cincinnati Chicago & St. Louis 8, Atlantic Coast Line 7h.

New York. April 2s.-The Financier this week says:
 associated banks last week showed a great CT gain of cash than was indicated by the estimates, which were based upon the week; a reasonably large contraction in loans considering tho extensive liquidation on the stock market and a very satisfactory increase in surplus reserve. The gain In cash was S3,s57.2 200. or about one million more than the estimated sum. This dis crepaney was, however, due to the fact last week. while the estimates recorded movements on Thursday and Friday of the previous week which were embraced in the bank return for that period.
 The loans were contracted S9.S92s00, re decting in great part the cancellation Of those on stock collateral due to the un- settling fall in the securities market during the week; the contraction from this cause must have been much greater than that indicated by the statement, but 1t was doubtless partly offset by loans to syndi- Hates or in connection with the New York city bond remission. Deposits decreased S5.440,00o which amount was only S95,600 less than the sum of the contraction in loans less the gain in cash, therefore the statement made good balance.
 The required reserve was reduced by S1.- S60, ,0o0 which. added to the increase fin cash. made s5,2l7,2O0 as the gain in sur plus reserve to Sl6,666256. Computed upon 800 public funds. the surplus is $20,S69,s5o. It may be noted that the financial derange- ments at Western centres, due to the Mil waukee bank dedication and the collapse of the wheat deal, tended to check trans fers of money hither to some extent. The shipments hence were only slightly in creased because of these heterogeneous, in dicating that they were not of such dis turbing character as to make necessary the recall of balances.
 The daily average of bank clearings was s36s. 000. 900, an increase of $4b.00O.0 900 com- pared with the previous week. reflecting chiefly shifting of loans. Comparison or changes in cash loans of industrials show that several institutions gained 1-3 mil Hons, nine banks reduced loans by ten mil

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago. April 29.-BriIiiant weather wilted prices in wheat here today. Other enervating influences were large primary receipts and lower cables. May closed l # c Bc, oats down $ @ hc and provisions 2h c lower to loo higher.
 Weakness in evidence in the wheat market at the outset, May opening off &c to axe at S6ac to sSc. July was down SC to # @ sc at s2Bc to s36s3bc Con growth of wheat was the chief reason for the declines. as was also the unexpected weakness at Liverpool, notwithstanding the strength exhibited here yesterday. Offer ings were liberal but demand slack. Early the selling pressure was greatest on May. small holders being eager to sell out over Sunday. Later July monopolized the attention of traders. Houses with St Louis connections were free sellers. Much of this selling doubtless was due to large primary the opening break, and July declined to S1% qS1%c, and May holding within the opening range. The market closed weak with May at S7Ac and July at 82c Clear ances equaled 66.600 bushels.
 Lower cables and weakness of wheat started active selling of corn by prominent pit traders and the market weak the entire session July opened 1s e Hc to & c lower at 46B G46Ac to 46&c, sold off to 45Ac and closed at the lowest point
 Oats were affected by the weakness of b9Ac lower at 2S&c to 2SAc, sold down to 2S1ac and closed at 2Shc.
 Provisions were comparatively strong. Shorts were active bidders. but offerings were meagre. The stady tone of the hog July pork closed up 7s @ r0c at .15; lard off 21Ac at $7. .25, and ribs 547hc up at $7.12h Q7.15.
