Government Report on Condition of Com ing Winter Wheat Crop-Money Market Tardy In Its Re-
 taxation.

New York. April 11.-AA nervous and ap- prehensive tone was noted in stocks throughout today. Actual events were in favor of values.
 The Government report of the April con- dition of the winter wheat crop was a not this crop % has been % HnoWn and s0aaDh taReD ae. O. count of in the stock market for some time past. but the actual figures of the percent were considerably higher than the antici- patton. Crop prospects have been looked forward to with great hopes as stimu- lating factor in the speculation to take the place of the much-used merger and dividend increase stories which have begun to show signs of having outlived their ef- fectiveness. But the crop promise at this early period and with the uncertainty of the growing season to be faced proved un- availing to hold the market.
 s It is the general supposition that an ex- tensive speculative deal in the wheat rnar- ket is being conducted on parallel lines with large commitments to the long side in the stock market. and there some dread that 1t would be necessary to throw over the stocks to protect the position Tn
 The holding of a meeting of the North ern Securities directors was another source proved to be enigmatical to the general surmises in the stock market
 The tardness of the relaxation Of the money market expected after the April 1st settlements is a cause of dissatisfaction to the speculative element and led today to some offerings of finance bills in the for h sharp decline in that market in spite of the stiffening of the discount rate in Lon don, The heavy requirements ahead of the money market. including payments of subscriptions on the Japanese loan, with drawal of Government deposits a New York city loan and the Pennsylvania bond issue. with thei time and terms of the Union Pacific preferred stock issue quite un- known, are shadows over the money market which are not without effect.
 The uncertain tone of the market was indicated by its constant fluctuations, the course of prices changing at least once during every hour of the session. The open ing was decidedly strong and there was another comprehensive rally after the first decline. Later in the day there were indi- vidual points of strength. Illinois Central was the conspicuous feature of the day and 1t seemed to meet with little opposition on It's swift advance. There was a dspo- sition to give the days favor to this stock, as the chosen property designed for ab- sorption on account of the Union Pacific preferred stock issue. but the supposition was as lacking in authority as the various others on the same subject which have been set afloat from time to time. The few other strong features held less persistently than Illinois Central The uncertain tenn per held throughout. The closing itself was irregular. but the days extreme changes much reduced.

France. Interesting Question.

Paris. April 1.-The Chamber of Deputies was crowded today when dis cussion of the sections of the church and State separation bill was opened Abbe Lemire began the debate by re- ferring to the argument that separa- tion had been successful in the United States. The speaker contended that France occupied a different position from that of the United States, state assistance being sought for every thing.
 Several amendments tending to spec fly the extent of the religious liberty to be allowed under the bill were with drawn on the assurance of Minister of Public Instruction Bienvenu Martin that the government intended to per- nit absolute liberty of conscience.
 The first sentence of the first section of the Dill. which declares that ''re- public assures liberty of conscience" was adopted.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND pRoyIsIoNs.

Chicago. April 11.-A decrease both in primary receipts and in the worlds visible supply had strengthening effect on the wheat market here today. At the close July wheat was up %c. May is up kc. Corn shows gain of % e hc Oats are up < Q kc. Provisions are unchanged to 2hc higher.
 The strength In the wheat market de- veloped during the last half of the session. At the opening the general sentiment was rather bearish as a result of the Govern ment crop report showing winter wheat to the Government figures the average condi- tion of fall sown wheat on April l was sl.s. against 7s.5 April l, 1904. The ac- tion of the market. however. demonstrated quite plainly that the report had been generally discounted. July opened M @ %c lower at s6he to s6hc May was off sion houses had moderate offerings but there was no great selling pressure. on sns contrary sSs ns snGrs aes sHnsat 's Isss prices soon rallied The May delivery was practically deserted. the bulk of trading last half of the session the demand for July became quite pronounced. feature of trading was buying of July and selling were inclined to favor this style of trading. the theory being that any change from the present excellent crop prospects might cas- fly advance the price of July and at the same time disturb very little the status of the more distant delivery. An increase of 2.5oo.oo0 bushels in the worlds visible sup
 
 bushels a year ago had considerable influ- ence on late trading. An additional bull fish factor was a falling off In primary re- ceipts- Prices, in consequence, advanced steadily during the last hour, July selling up to s7%c just before the close. Final quotations on July were at s7kc. After sellign off to $1.13h May rallied to $1.14M, closing at the highest point of the day.
 Sentiment in the corn pit was quite bull ish throughout the entire session. Compare lively small primary receipts and an i'm proved demand for corn for feeding pur- poses were the principal causes of the strength. July opened unchanged to hc higher at 47%c to 47Nc, sold up to 4Sis @4shc and closed at the highest point of the day.
 The oats market was influenced mainly by the firmness of corn, but decreased re- ceipts had some effect. Trading was dull and of small volume. July opened a shade higher at 29%c. sold between 29%c and 29%c and closed at 29hc.
 Provisions were firm at a result of small receipts of hogs The market received fair support from local packers. Selling was scattered. At the close July pork and lard were each up 2Ao at $13. .07h Q13.l0 ani $7.42h @7.45 respectively; ribs were un- changed at ST.35.
