RISE IN THE GRAIN MARKET
Discouraging Domestic and Foreign

WEATHER AND TRADE STATUS
Mild Recovery in London Bourse.

Special Djspatch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 11.-This mornings
stock market opened with an uncertain
tone and with real weakness showing in
some particular stocks, but 1t gathered
strength with the course of the morning,
together with a considerable increase in
activity. The most striking feature of the
situation at large was the further extern
sive rise in the grain market. The move
ment in that direction was based alike upon
discouraging domestic and foreign crop ad-
vices. but the rise in wheat was without
any material effect upon the dealings In
general Importance.
The weekly reports of the mercantile
agencies upon the state of the country's
trade continue to set forth a curtailment Of
activity caused mainly by the unreasonable
weather conditions everywhere prevailing
The London stock market enjoyed a mild
recovery today. which was considered as be-
ing of some significance. in view of the ap-
preaching fortnightly settlement upon the
London stock exchange. During the morn
ing forecasts were published indicating
that the weekly bank statement would
make a more favorable exhibit than had
been commonly expected and this prospect
was factor of some influence in the course
of prices.
Reading Under Pressure.
In the early dealings Reading was under
pronounced and effective pressure, notwith-
standing the apparently authoritative con-
tradiction of the rumors which were in cir
culation yesterday that the company would
soon appear as large borrower of money.
Union Pacific continued to occupy it's
now established position the leader of
the market in respect of activity and both
that stock and Southern Pacific were de-
cidedly firm. The traction shares were
dull and the industrial, and miscellaneous
issues shared in the general tendencies
displayed by the railway list.
The chief feature Of the bank statement
was the decrease in the loan account,
which was curtailed to the extent of $14,-
O96.OO0. Cash holdings decreased s. $50 900,
a much larger sum than had been indi-
Gated. and together with the decrease In
the loan account was reflected In q de-
crease in deposits amounting to SIC $50. 600.
In consequence of the changes In deposits
and in cash, surplus reserves increased
81 ,6Sl 900, and now stand at IS, 4S5. 600. Sur
plus reserves in the corresponding week of
last year were s12, S94 900 in 1905 SIG, T12 900
and in 1904 81, S27 900.

LOCAL rmAHo1AL NEWS

The conditions Of trading at today's
meeting OF the stock exchange indicated Q
somewhat stronger tone to the market, Tor
In the case Of some Of the more active se-
curities buying was not checked by an adj.
vance In prices. For the new 6-Der-cent
bonds Of the Capital Traction Company
and for the 4-per-cent bonds Of the WASH
inston Railway Company and for the
stock of-the Capital Traction Company, all
that was done was on q higher level than
were the transactions Of yesterday.
In point Of volume the business done was
not large. but the willingness to buy on q
rising market might be regarded as an
indication Of revivinx interest Of q rather
substantial character.
Gas stock shared In this phase Of the
market along with the other securities
mentioned, but it outstripped the average
daily progress, as it went up az points az
compared with the best selling price Of yes.
terday.
The best price paid today was "a. while
the record for yesterday was 8lx. The new.
conner In the buying Of this stock who made
his appearance in that role yesterday was
also one Of the chief buyers today. He
received able assistance from another bro
ker who has not taken any part in the trad
ing, at least as buyer.
IL might be concluded from the known
connections in business Of both of the
active brokers Of today that they, are rep
resentatiye Of inside interests. On the other
hand, there are those who look upon the
entire movement in gas stock az purely
speculative and claim there Is now no such
thing In existence as q gas company sur
Plus and therefore there is nothing to hand
out to the stockholders.
This Is no explanation of why the stock
which at the rate of the dividend paid
yields per cent return on value of $40
per share should have advanced nearly 2k
points at the meeting OF the stock exchange
today.
There is in fact no explanation which Is
commonly available. and generally speaking
the public don't seem to be much interested
II one might Judge from the small amount
of stock that has been brought out during
the market movement. However, q larger
amount Of the stock figured in today's
transactions than on any previous day. The
aggregate Of the sales reached nearly six
hundred shares.
OF this total block of two hundred
shares and one Of one hundred were in
cluded, while the balance was generally in
quotation lots of twenty-five shares. At
the close the asking price for gas was 64M
and the bid 63N.
