CHICAGO GRAIN.

CHICAGO, April 3O.-Hessian flies and

considerable damage by frost, was q help
to the bulls near the end of the day, but
just before the closing bell was rung
many buyers turned sellers not caring
to risk holding a line over Sunday. News
regarding rain today was somewhat dis
counted. because the showers were said
to be scattered and not of the soaking
variety.
Announcements by railroads that re-
cent crop damage narratives had been
exaggerated, especially as to the effects
of the cold snap, were more than offset
by seemingly countless advices by wire
and mail reiterating details as to the
fly and bug invasion. September wheat
opened 4 to !. lower at 1.o1 to 1.O1A,
touched 1.OO7s, advanced to LOIS and
closed at 1O11sa1.O1H.
Prospect of continued light receipts
was the chief reason cited for the
strength in corn. The fact that the
May discount was more than the full

tributed largely to liquidation by scat

The percentage of actual reserve of the
clearing house banks today was 2537.
The statement of banks and trust COM
panies of Greater New York not report
ing to the clearing house shows:
Loans, 81, 1S9. 727 800; increase. 50, $50 800

The Financier will say:

of gold last week was shown in the
statement of the clearing house banks
of New York, issued Saturday. The
banks lost $14,219,SOO in specie. but
slight gain in legals made the net loss
in cash for the week $13,416,5OO. The
effect of this depletion of reserves was
somewhat minimized by contraction of
700 in loans. and a decrease of
$50, S44, 800 i'm deposits. The latter of
course, lessened reserve requirements by
about $5,OOOOOO. The decrease in sur
plus reserve, compared with the previous
week. was IS. 2O5. $50. the surplus Saturday
standing at 81, 1S2,55O. This showing, in
view Of the loss of something like S14,
100000 in gold during the past few days,
must be set down as favorable. The
statement of averages issued Saturday
did not include the operations described,
and based VI the system of averages, the
surplus reserve figured out s6.771, $50.
The summary of state banks and trust
companies in Greater New York not re-
porting to the New York clearing house
indicated that some of the clearing house
loan commitments had been transferred
to them, the loans of the outside institu-
lions having risen $685.. 300. The net
deposits of these institutions also rose
$14, 4SO, 200. The loans of the clearing
house banks are now about $29, 900. 900
In excess of their deposits. 1t is interest
ing to note that the net deposits of the
state banks and trust companies outside
the clearing house in New York city
are again almost equal to those of the
clearing house institutions themselves.

Cotton futures opened steady at a de-

general opinion in this market was that
Liverpool had been bearishly affected by
Secretary Wilson'S interview, in which he
expressed doubt that the recent cold snap
had greatly damaged cotton. The local
market was not inclined to follow any
fall in prices, and after the call July
and October, the only two months that
showed any activity, were put back to
the level of yesterdays closing.
Bulls were encouraged in their position
in the new crop by the dry weather map
and no rain in the forecast for over Sun
day. Many sections of the cotton coun-
try are complaining that they have had
no rain of consequence in several weeks
and that seed is not terminating.
The market was extremely dull from
the middle of the morning on. All the
trading was confined to July and October,
the extreme range in which positions was
over only 5 to 6 points. At the highest
they were 1 to points over yesterdays
closing, and at the lowest were to 3
points under. The market closed steady

The stopping of something like 200, 900
May notices caused only a moderate ad-
vance, which did not come anywhere
near putting prices back up to where
they were earlier in the week.
The scarcity of seed, cold nights and
lack of moisture were the principal COM
plants coming in from the cotton coun-
try. Bears claimed that the damage to
the crop had been exaggerated. The
main bearish factors of the week were
the uncertainty over what turn the fed
eral investigation of cotton would take
and the threatened labor troubles in
Manchester. where the master spinners
were still demanding that their opera
tives submit to a 3 per cent reduction in
wages.

conflicting reports Of crop damage caused
hesitancy in some quarters. the general
tone of the cloth market during the week
was firm, with manufacturers holding out

from China are expected to lead to
good business in the near future, while

Some Favorable Developments.

The week was not without its favorable
developments Railroad earnings still
keep up. despite talk of diminished gen.
eral business. and it is figured that al
though railroad earnings, taking the coun-
try over, are now over II per cent in ex-
cess of those of last year, the average
market valuation of the stock of these
railroads is quite a little less than last
year.
On Friday most of the larger western
railroad companies filed with the inter-
state commerce commission notice OF
their intention to make an advance in
freight rates June 1, averaging about
Is per cent. On the face of things such
increased compensation for carrying
freight as is secured will result I'm large
ly augmented railway earnings, but the
question remaining to be settled is wheth-
er the increased compensation Will be
allowed. There Is general. though
vague. idea that the interstate commerce
commission regards. with at least partial
favor. the action taken by the railway
companies. Whether shipping interests
will readily consent to it is another mat
ter, and there Is some fear that the high
er freight charges made by the railroads
will influence a curtailment of the vol
ume of freight itself.
Few people in the railway world seem
to have any certainty as to the upshot
of the movement for higher tariffs. while
contending. nevertheless, that the ad-
vance in freights Is justified by every
dealing.
In the main the statements of the
commercial agencies report slowing
down of demand through the week by
consumers of miscellaneous merchandise
This seems to be attributed In a great
part to the recent cold weather.; but II
is to be remembered on those points
that the spring this year was very early,
temperatures in March being in many
sections not unlike those usually seen
in May. A later cold snap was to be
At the present time the season appears
to be taking its normal course. and there
is as yet no evidence that with the ex-
ception of the injury caused to the west
ern fruit CROP a crop that is additionally
precartous, no great amount OF irrepar-
able damage has been done to the coun-
try's crops as a whole.

Steel Corporation of a quarterly dividend

depressed general state OF the Stock mar

security prices in the way that it
undoubtedly would have done had fnan-
cial sentiment been in a more cheerful
mood There is small criticism heard
anywhere OF the action of the manage

matter. and it is admitted practically
everywhere that the corporation has since
