Diversion Of Speculative Movement
Taken Advantage of by Holders
of Union Paciflc-Bonds

BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 3O-More business
was done during the first hour Of trading
today In the stock market than In the
same time for many days past
some or the features of the movement
mad commenced to arouse distrust by the
end OF the first hour and there was a re-
tuations.
Many stocks were active during tho
Hrst nour that haye been unresponsive TO
the recent attempts to revive speculative
activity and the whole market took on
an appearance of breadth and volume
that has been lacking recently.
~ ms served as an answer to criticisms
or yesterdays dealing that were prac-
tieally confined to Union Pacific. But
the fact became evident In a Short time
that this diversion of speculative activity
was being taken advantage of to market
holdings of Union Pacific
This checked the upward movement and
induced the subsequent reaction, thus
serving to reaffirm the dominance of
Union Pacific In the present market. The
drag upon the market also.
There was no expectation of an in
crease In the dividend at the meeting to
be held later In the day, but all inter-
orders on hand on March 81. ~
That these should exceed the record
figures reported on December 81 was
scarcely hoped owing to the seasonable
drawbacks Of the spring quarter in the
trade.
But SPECTATORS feared that the show
ing of decrease, however explained,
might be depended upon to point an argu-
ment that trade reaction was indicated.
Rains Bring Relief
A plentiful rain for present needs IN
the upper Mississippi and lower Missouri
valleys was the report sby the govern
ment bureau. Coupled with news of ad-
ditional rains since and promise of more
and the decided heaviness in the wheat
market itself, the factor in the crop out
look were generally toward reassurances
The leadership of western railroad
stocks in such strength as the market
showed was a reflection of the crop news
An incident of the day was the sale of a
stock exchange seat at an advance over
the price of the preceding sale. Some eff
feet on future railroad earnings Is looked
for from advances In freight rates which
went into effect in various quarters to-
day.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Sentiment in the Wheat Pit Is De-

Oats Also Weak
By Associated Press.

CHICAGO. April 9O-The wheat mar
ket was subject to heavy selling during
the greater part OF the day, sentiment
being extremely ,bearish until late in the
day when a little steadier feeling pre-
vailed. There was a quite general un-
loading of long wheat both by local and
outside holders, while commission houses
and pit traders also sold freely
The selling was the result chiefly of the
complete break up of the prolonged
drought in the southwest. Other factors
which helped depress prices were lower
cables, fresh reports of damage by green
bugs and an increase of 100000 bushels
in the worlds visible supply July wheat
opened unchanged to Ac lower to seq
S2Ac, sold off to sic and closed at S11s9

Corn was weak on active selling by
longs and commission houses. The break

Prosperity Will Continue

Discussing the Industrial and financial
situation, the st. Louis Globe-Democrat
of recent date says editorially:
All the countrys workshops are buster
now than they were year ago. One or
two of the railroad chiefs recently made
boast that there would be a retrench-
ment in expenses this year of $40O 0OO. 600
by the railroads of the country, and said
that 1t had already begun. No tangible
traces of this reduction has been discov-
cred. The various shops in which loco
road supplies are furnished are running
to their full capacity. The other day
poration declared that though their in
come for the calendar year 1906 was far
ahead of that for 1905, the activity thus
far in 1907 beats the 1906 figure. More
now than were booked twelve months
ago, So far as the men who run that in
stitution can foresee, the output of 1907
will be a long way ahead of that Of 1906
est" 1t is true. however, that railway
are increasing IN gtba faSter bi fnan
'sare higher than they were a year ago,
but operating expenses have increased in
a greater ratio; This brings the nc. net
are high compared with 1903 and 1904.
Money for Export
To some degree, at least, a redress cf
the balance for the. railroads is in sight.
The large Increase in the output of cop
per, iron, coal and other minerals which
Is under way means a reduction in the
cost of materials for the great indus
tries. Money has dropped so low that
there would be some talk of gold expor-
tation were it not for the fact that 1t is
down In Europe also. The Imperial
Bank of Germany and the Bank of the
Netherlands have just reduced their dis
count rate. In London and Paris money
is easy. These things are largely respon-
sible for the stiffening of prices for
stocks and the general Improvement in
the entire market for railway shares.
Messrs. Hartman and Hill ought to find
no great difficulty today in borrowing
money for railway improvements at as
low rates. or nearly as low. as they did
o year ago. In each branch of the for
eign trade the gains over last year are
large, and as the domestic trade IS
growing still faster there is an excellent
reason for believing that the business
sky is bright 1t would be hard to con-
vince the treasury officials. that there
are any breakers in sight From the be-
ginning of the fiscal year last July along
to today the governments income has
exceeded its outgo TO the extent of $34,-
900 900. as compared with $1,000, 900 for the
corresponding time in the previous year.
on Thursday of this week the Bank OF
England is likely to reduce its discount
rate. following the example of Germany
and Holland The low money rates ought
ia check the gambling by the big rail-
way magnates Too much prosperity
has its embarrassments, but in many re-
snects it is better than too little.
