WHEAT REGAINS
 PART IF LOSSES Volume Of Trade Is Small For
 The Session PRICES HIGHER AT CLOSE Corn Continues Strong and After an Active Day Prices Close Almost at the TopZoats Strong.
 Provisions Firm.
PRICES HIGHER AT CLOSE

Chicago, April 2l-Part of the loss sus- tained in the serve slump in wheat prices yesterday was regained today owing 10 active covering by shorts, closing quota tions showing net gains of 1sn5sc to 1MQl 1asc, compared with the previous close.
 Corn advanced to new high record marks and closed at advances of hc to 1c, com pared with yesterdays final prices. Oats also closed strong. Provisions were firm.
 The wheat market was devoid of any sensational features and the volume of trading was small compared with the enormous transactions of the last few sessions. With the exception of a brief period at the opening when prices ranged only a trihe above the low point of the previous session, the market displayed considerable strength desnte the pre- ponderance of bearsh gossip in the days news. Buying of more than 100000 bushels of the July delivery by one of the leading elevator interests here was the features of trade and one of the chief reasons for the substantial dpturn in prices
 Additional rain was reported throughout the winter wheat belt in this country, in- cluding Oklahoma, where a drouth had prevailed for a long time. while in the northwest the weather was said to be favorable for seeding with the exception of a portion of South Dakota. The ex- cellent outlook for the European crop also had depressing effect. The Prus- sian outlook which showed deterioration of crop compared with a year ago, was the principal bulllsh influence. Although foreign markets were lower, they did not fully reflect the break here yesterday.
 At the opening prices were hc to Ac higher to %c lower with July advanced about 1c. but reacted again on profit taking. Toward the end of the first hour. however, the market became strong again and continued firm the remainder of tho day. The high point for July was reached at k1.1AM. Final quotations were at q. .137sg1.14
 Corn for May and July delivery con- tinued their upward flight. the former option advancing to 71Ao and the latter to 691ac per bushel. The market closed strong at almost the top. Trade was active all day, especially in the July de- livery which was In urgent demand Dy country commission houses. Wet weather throughout the entire corn belt, light re- ceipts here and the high prices prevail ing for the cash grain were the bullish factors.
 Further advances were recorded in the price of oats,V closing quotations show ing net gains for the day of %c to %QAc, compared with yesterdays close. Country buyers were heavy purchasers of the deferred futures, while local shorts bought freely of May options. During the day May sold up to 661ac and July po 49s4c. At the close the price was 56Ac for May and 495sc for July. Provisions were firm the entire day on buying by local packers thought to be against cash sales. The buoyancy of corn and oats was a bullish influence. Prices at the close were 21hc to 5c higher. Leading futures ranged as follows:

STOCK MARKET Is
 VERY CONF USED Downward Tendency Is Shown Early In The Day BEARS TURN TO BUYING Harriman's Plan to Go Abroad Has a Weakening Effect Upon Paclfcs,
 Other Stocks Fail to
 Advance.
BEARS TURN TO BUYING

New York, April I.-Extreme confusion of the speculative temper was caused by the action of the stock market during the early part of today, and the result was a declining precipitation in the dealings with professional traders and the adop- ton Of waiting attitude to see what the mysterious movement might portend. Sus- picion of manipulative purchases in, some of the most obvious movements increased the feeling of doubt and uncertainty. Alternating declines and advances kept the market In such waverlng state as Is rarely witnessed. Some of the early sell ing of stocks was reported as coming openly from sources that have been cred tied with the leadership of the advancing movement. The suspicious trading ele- ment saw in this element a device of the bulls to take the market away from the bears, and to force the latter to sell short at low figures with the malign purpose of forcing them to cover at correspond ing loss. The bears. instead of taking courage from this appearance of liquidation of long stock, took alarm, and bought to cover their short contracts. Two items of the days news were of positive infu- ence, and these were of contrary ef- feet. Announcement of plans for sum- mer trip abroad by E. H. Hartman, and the modified restrictions of the Erie bond issue by the New York public service commission were unexpected develop ments The rumors regarding MT Harri- mans health, which were given renewed
 
 of shares in the companies with which he Is most closely associated. The effect of Union Pacific was pronounced, and the especial weakness of New York Central was also traceable to the large expecta- tions that have been formed of the eff fleets to be looked for from MT. Harri- mans future activities in the management of that railroad.
 The relaxed requirements on the Erie to be complied with to secure permission for the proposed bond issue were considered sufficient to insure the success of the pro- posed financial plans. The Erie stocks responded and there was some sympa- thetic effect in other portions of the list A special source of speculative confusion was the cratic f1uctuation in Reading. This stock might have decided the waver- ing course of the market at any time, but It's constant shifting left the bal ance undecided.
 There was considerable comment on the taking of gold here for shipment to Hol- land, which is a very unusual proceeding, exchange operations with Holland being conducted usually through the medium of London banks. It was inferred from this gold movement that Dutch investors in American securities had been sending home their holdings to market in New York attracted by the high level of exist t,u e. cided impression speculative sentiment owing to the substantial character attrib- uted to the Dutch financial insight.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter.

New York, April 21.-(special) )-Advice of the showers in northern and eastern Texas, which brought on an average rain fall of about half an inch over the sec ton of the state north of Taylor were received in Liverpool before our opening. It was also reported from that market that the south had offered spots freely and this combination was accepted as in dicating that the advance had gone far enough Liverpool, therefore. declined. closing easy, while this market only broke slightly until the last hour. when the buyers of yesterday became free sell CTS, bringing about an easier tone, clos ing barely steady at 12 points decline.
 Our local traders have felt that the advance had been checked by the show CTS and have expected reaction all day for that reason. They expressed their be- lief in the statement that the market act ed tired. Unless further showers occur the market should close better tomorrow after the easier close in both markets today.

COTTON MARKET
 VERY IRREGULAR
Weaker Foreign Markets Cause
 Early Decline
BUYING CAUSES RALLY
Advance Is Lost Near the Close on Liberal Offerings and Reports of
 General Rains In Texas and Closing Is Much Lower.

New York, April 21.-The cotton mar ket ruled nervous and irregular today, with prices losing a large part of yester- days advance, the close being barely steady at a net decline of 12 to IA points. The market opened easy at a de- Acline of 10 to 13 points and sold 12 to IA points net lower during the first few minutes under heavy realizing and local bear pressure
 Selling was encouraged by weak cables and reports of rain in Texas, but during the early trading Liverpool was a buyer. There seemed to be a good demand from Chicago sources ,and with some support from leading spot interests prices rallied during the middle of the morning, and at one time were within or points of last nights close. This improvement was lost later In the day, however, and the market reached the lowest point in the last few minutes. with the close only a point or two up from the lowest on the old crop months. and at the bottom on later positions. The bulls were inclined to argue that the precipitation in Texas was insufficient, but the rains, if light, were more or less general, and some said that they had caused withdrawal of spot buyers during the afternoon.
 Spot news was somewhat conflicting but general impression was created that offerings were more liberal at the advance, and that the trade demand is somewhat less urgent following the large business reported during the last half month. The southern markets officially reported were unchanged to 1sc higher. The western belt forecast was for clear ing weather, with frost probably tonight in northern portions. The detailed wealth CT bulletin showed precipitation at 85 points in Texas ranging from a trace to .92 inches.
 Receipts at the ports today, A,559 bales. against 29S49 last week and 9749 last year. For the week, 185,0o0 bales, against 11s,- s6o last week and 5s,757 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans, 697s bales, against 64o7 last year, and at Houston, 212o bales, against 14l5 last year.

WAGE SCALE ENDS.
Strike May Occur on Pittsburg Street
 Railway.

Pittsburg, April A.-While the old wage scale ends at midnight tonight, and the Pittsburg Railways company and Its en- ployes are at variance as to a new one, probably nothing will be known as to whether there will be a strike before to- morrow noon. By vote of 2125 to 8 the employees of the company decided last Friday not to accept the company's offer of the present scale, after an increase of 1s a cent an hour had been demanded. The company was notified and several conferences have been held without an agreement. Meetings of employees have been called for tonight. As the counting of the vote will not begin until all the votes are in, the result will not be known until tomorrow As both sides seem de- termined, the result'of tonight's voting is awaited with considerable anxiety.
