Chicago, April 1O.-WHEAT-The
market was strong nearly all day, al.
though at times prices reacted con

The principal bullish influence was

important factor

TENDENCY
Marked Stock Market Yesterday
Strength lnterspersed With
Evidences of Reaction.

New York, April 10.-The stocl
market enjoyed a considerable period
of strength today, but gave evidence
during the later stages of the advance
of reactionary tendency.
There were several conspicuous
stocks among the industrials which
were almost wholly unresponsive to
the rising tendency of prices and
these proved an increasing weight on
the market
United States Steel was a notable
example. although AmaIgamated cop
per's heaviness also was of some
sympathetic effect.
The early strength of the market
outside of specialties, was traceable
| to the influence of the Erie settle
| ment. the stocks of that company and
of Union Pacific leading the move
ment
The assumption of buyers of these
stocks was that the more intimate re,
lations between the two railroad sys.
tens would be the outgrowth of the
advance of funds to the Erie by e.
H. Hartman.
Prospects for a good bank state
ment had some influence on the mar
ket, although the prevailing ease of
the money market obscures the i'm
pcftance of the weekly changes and
to some tXent the promise is for
Eain in cash by banks of about So
100000. The fact that receipts from
the interior on balances as a result
OF the express movement are some
what smaller than last week, was ac-
cepted with complacency as CON
tinuance of the fun tide of the
money flow from the interior would
be regarded as of sinister Importance
as to the shrinkage in business ac-
tivity.
The constituencies of the wheat mar
ket to some reports of damage to
wheat in Kansas from dry weather
was suggestive of the Importance
which Will attach to that subject of
of speculative sentiment
for the future.

When the convention was called to

Harry Daugherty of Ohio, from the
committee on credentials, asked for
recognition as soon as the prayer was
ended. He announced that the COM

throughout the night, had completed
its work and would be able to present
it's report to the convention within an
hour. There was no possibility Of
transacting business until the report
was presented and the convention set
tied down to await it's arrival.

committee and the committee on Gre

upon arriving at the convention hall
that the idea Of presenting a minority
report from the credentials committee
