LONDON. April 9O.-The fresh burdens
imposed upon capital by the new budget
as announced by Chancellor Of the Elk
chequer ~Lloyd-George in the House OF Com
mons yesterday has not had much effect

been worse hit. The increased stamp duties
are heartily disliked and it Is feared they
are calculated to drive away business to
other centers. The general tone OF the
markets. however, was satisfactory and
Investment stocks were steady. Americans
were a shade better.

OMAHA. April ~, 1893.
Gables we're 1lsd higher on the opening
against a domestic advance OF laac yestcr-
day. Wheat, however. is largely a domestic
proposition and every day reports snow
there will be very little or no wheat TOT
export, and prices will rule higher for the
balance Of the crop year.
Receipts Of corn still continue light. BE
vator stocks are being rapidly exhausted
and farmers must sell corn freely before
any decline Of prices can be expected
Wheat started strong and values advanced
during the first half Of the session on
bullish northwestern weather reports. Later
values eased off again on selling Tor profits
on the bulges and very little change was
registered at the close. =,
May wheat opened at h2es and closed
