CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.
Future Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO. April 6.-Strength of the May OPP
tion was the main factor in the wheat market
at the opening. Initial quotations on that de-
livery were up 1c to 1Ac 81 IS to 81 1sat.
July was unchanged to kc higher at SSNc to
S91kc. Another factor. however that exerted
vance in tha price of wheat in Liverpool. This
upturn in May due to urgent demand
from shorts. Owing to the congestion in May
commission houses showed signs of increasing
unwillingness to take new trades in that de-
livery except at unusual margins. A sharp
of the covering purchases at the start
It was reported that margins as high as 20
cents a bushel had been asked. AS the session
progressed the dread Of a sensational advance
in May resulting from butt raid as affecting
later deliveries began to wear off, and some
prominent local operators who had covered
July wheat as a precautionary measure
heavy TO start a decline, which developed into
considerable weakness before the end of the
day. Poor demand for cash wheat in all out
side markets had depressing effect on specu-
lative trading here. Additional reports were
received telling OF favorable growth Of the fall
sown crop. Late in the day May wheat sold
off to 81 17h and July STsc. The market
with May &c higher at 81 17ss and July N@1c
lower at s1M@ssc.
Corn prices declined profit taking and the
market closed practically at the lowest point
OF the day, hQAc lower at 4sc.

ordinary activity and prosperity in the iron
ana steel trade. But this is not new devel-
opment, nor is there any immediate new fea-
ture an the situation in that trade. II was
inferred therefore. that the suddenly aggres-
siVe tone developed by the stock was due to
the formation OF a speculative party for the
conduct OF market operations rather than to a
spontaneous spread overnight through the coun-
try at large of desire to buy the stock The
preliminary rise in London and the important
ouylng OF the stock here carried the impression
that the campaign has its ramifications abroad
as wen as in this country. The obvious
lure OF the operation did not have deter
rent enect at all on the sympathetic influence
OF the movement on the rest OF the list. 1t
has been matter Of discouragement among
lne speculative element for some time that the
United states Steel stocks were neglected and
comparatively unresponsive to the unprecedent-
ca trade conditions in that industry, the effect
being TO suggest some unknown condition back
OF the superficial situation which might prompt
ultra conservatism on the part of the insid-
ers in the corporation. The relief afforded
by to-day's development from the danpening
enect on the general list OF the sluggishness
OF the bulky and unwieldy steel Issues was
very quickly manifest throughout the mar
ket. The purpose of the Sl0O, OOO, 900 Increase
IN Union Pacific preferred stock was as much
mystery as when first announced and the
vice range OF conjecture on this point q
potent influence on the speculation in various
stocks. The conviction is general that the
acqulsltlon OF control OF another railroad sys-
TEN Is IN contemplation, but the identity OF
the railroad intended shifts constantly in the
surmises current in the market. St Paul and
periods to-day while the New York Central
hypothesis suffered decline by the drag
ging euect on that stock. The coming lead
merger. which is now generally accepted, was
stimulating factor in the stocks Immediately
affected. The movement in the Southern group
Of railroads was helped by the great growth
IN the cotton movement and the encouraging
reports from the winter wheat crop were a
supporting factor IN the general market The
gradual easing Of the money market encour-
aged a faith Of the speculative element that
there is plenty TO go around for all their
purposes. The announcement of a call for 90
per cent OF Government deposits in two Install
ments on May Is g.nd July I did not disturb
this confidence in the slightest degree. The
extent OF the days advance invited consider
aole realizing. and the market closed irregular
and generally below the best
