SHEEP-Both sheep and lambs COM
manded steady prices on this mornings
market. Receipts we're only moderate and
the quality of the offerings not as good as
usual. Notwithstanding light receipts,
buyers were inclined to discriminate at the
opening. and as a result, trade through
out was somewhat slow. 1t was one those
featureless markets where everything
moves slowly at unchanged quotations.
Practically all OF the offerings had changed
hands by $50 o'clock.
A bunch of choice, lightweight Mexican
lambs made $500. the top of the day. A
few Mexican wethers, cut out from a drove
OF yearlings, were good enough to move
at $3.50. but offerings in sheep, as il gem
orally the case, were in the minority, and
there was nothing of any consequence
with which to make a test OF the market.
The market, as a whole, while not ex-
hibiting any particularly strong spots, was
equally free from depressions.

market opened steady at an advance of 1
point, which was lower than due on the
cables as a result of scattering liquidation
prompted by private reports OF rain in
Texas. Shortly after the opening prices
improved on heavy buying by Liverpool
houses, strength in New Orleans, covering
by recent sellers for a turn and a renewal
of bull support from some of the leading
trade interests. The market was quite firm

NEW YORK, April 2O.-The strength
or Reading was the principal sustaining
influence in today's stock market With
out that prices apparently would have
ssgged, as sales TO take profits were the
order of the day in the majority of this
thing on tuesdays that the trading ele-
ment has adopted II as a precedent and
works on the short side Of the market
strength Of Reading was the outsrowth
partly Of the persistent rise in price OF
Central Railroad OF New Jersey, of which
Reading is a large holder. This strength
was transferred today to Baltimore &
Ohio owing to the fact that the company
shares with the Lake Shore the control
of Reading itself. As to the direct cause
of the original strength OF Central Rail-
road of New Jersey, no news was forth
coming. The advance in Delaware. Lack
awanna & Western and the seeming en-
barrassment of its directors to find a plan
for suitable distribution of the company's
surplus, has a stimulating effect on all
the eoalers. One report that arises In
connection with this movement IL that the
plan for meeting the possible confirma-
Hepburn law will provide for some dlstrL
button of assets among stockholders in
the anthracite companies.
The sympathetic nature OF the strength
or this group and of a miscellaneous
collection of specialties was not convinc-
time respond. Willie the "a demand in the
general list failed TO respond. there was
hesitation about selling. The CONSEQUENCE
was -tOubiuCThDlt TeuuCllOn III the WI
ume OF the markets activity outside the
coalers and a narrow price movement.
The selling became more conspicuous late
In the day. The highly speculative ma
ture of the ordinary Reading movement
and the doubtful character of some of
the speclalties brought forward into
prominence caused their influence to
wane. Part of the repression on the mar
ket was due TO an apprehension that q
crisis might be approaching in the wheat
speculation. Growing ~disapproval of the
speculative movement in wheat is heard
in the financial district, but a sudden
collapse in wheat would not be without
power of disturbance in other markets.
Chicago reported some Improvement in
the demand for money for mercantile
uses, and this was accepted as a prom
Using incident. Securities markets every
where seemed to regard the march of
events In Turkey with tranquility. No
tice by the banker of an advance in the
offered price of the Michigan Central
debenture 4 per cent bonds was regarded
as evidence of the sustained investment
demand for securities.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales par
value, 35,4S4, 900. United states bonds
were unchanged on call.

sellers. A few of the very best loads sold
to pretty good advantage, but som OF the
largest buyers were refusing to even look
at light hogs, claiming that they did not
have any orders for that kind, Other
buyers took advantage OF the decreased
demand and started out bidding decidedly
lower, in man. cases as much as 5dl0c
lower than the same kind OF hogs sold for
yesterday. It Is hardly necessary to add
that the market on light hogs was very
slow, statesmen being backward about TAX
ing off, and the forenoon was well ad-
vanced before anything like a clearance
was effected on that kind.
When the light hogs finally sold 1t was on
the basis of prices that were weak to SC
lower on the better grades. TIT common
light loads were hard to move, bids on
that Kind being 5d10 lower and at the
time of closing this report there were still
a humber OF the poorer loads unsold.

C~ATTLE-There was a rair run Of cattle
this morning, but still a very heavy falling
off as compared with Tuesday of last week,
The receipts for the week to date are de-
cidedly short OF the record of last week,
but are still about up to the average.
AS was the case yesterday, the supply
of stockers and feeders was comparatlvely
light and as there was a good demand the
market opened first on that kind of cattle
Prices paid we're steady to a little stronger
on some of the best kinds. One bunch Of
est price paid SO far this year Tor western
feeders. Everything in sight was soon dis
posed of, the trade as a whole being very
satisfactory to the selling interests.
Cows and heifers were In fair demand
and they sold in good season, though the
market was at no time very active. The
best heifers sold up to $500, with spayed
Wyoming hay-fed heifers at $50 and $3.50.
Beef steers were slow sellers all day long.
Buyers picked out here and there a few
loads that just happened to suit at prices
that were close to steady, but, on the other
hand, they we're bidding as much as lODlbc
lower on other cattle, and a good many
had 10 sell that way.
