PIT TAXES ALARM
 AT DAMAGE REPORTS
In Consequence Wheat Mar. ket Closed Strong-COrn
 Wound Up With Gain

Chicago. April 10,-Damage reports from merous today that the wheat pit took alarm. In consequence, the market closed strong at 1ssc to 1s4q3ssc net advance. Corn wound up with a gain of 1@11sc to 1ld1ac: oats higher by 5Ac to 1Bq2c, and provisions showing q rise of to 12lsG l5c.
 So serious did the impairment of the growing wheat crop seem that it was pre- dicted the next government report would tell of as much as 100000 acres wholly abandoned. opinions were also freely ex- pressed that mi1lers would soon be forced to buy freely, and that the soft winter grades might go to a premium over the spring variety. April figures from Wash ington regarding the condition of fall sown wheat were sufficiently bullish to give eredence to the later and more radl- cal unofficial advices. A hardly less im- portant influence in bringing about the bulge was the fact that no let-up could be sighted in the upward swing of the price of corn.
 Not at any time during the day could the new crop futures of wheat be readily bought, despite the big advance. There was more generous feeling out of the May delivery, though fact which pre- vented that option from holding the rapid pace of the other months. Between the opening and the close July ranged from 9Sc to sl.00ss, with last sales at the up. permost level reached, 3aSlsc above the figures quoted on Monday night.
 Notwithstanding that corn was on the upgrade all day. the trade did not have the volume that has recently been offered Futures scored new high records for the season, following St. Louis and Kansas City where May corn sold respectively at soc and 79c. Country sales here to ar rive were reported as showing somewhat of an increase. May ranged from 76940 7i%c, closing steady 1AQ1ssc net higher at 77sQ77%c. Cash grades were firm No. yellow was quoted at 7SQ7S1sc fol car lots.
 Oats moved up to the best prices of thf crop year thus far. Receipts at Chicago were just about half as large as two days ago. Outside limits touched for July proved to be 521ac and 509sc, with the close 17sc higher
 Provisions were easy at the outset, bilt rallied later. Corn strengthened and the Missouri state report noting a heavy shortage of hogs on spring feed brought the change. In the end pork and ribs had gained 10c to 121sd15c. and lard 5 to 71sc- Future quotations were as follows:

MORE STRENGTHS
 SHOWN IN COTTON
Increasing Activity Shown New High Records Be-
 ing Made

New York, April 10.-The cotton market showed increasing activity and strength today, with prices making new high rec ords for the movement on more general buying than has been seen here for months past. The close was firm, and last prices were from 26 to 34 points net higher
 The opening was firm at an advance of to points on covering by yesterdays late sellers and fresh buying inspired by tho appearance of the early weather map which showed showers or rains in the belt. Realizing caused some irregularity right after the call, but offerings were readily absorbed by fresh buying for long account or continued covering, and fol- lowing the publication of the official fore cast calling for unsettled and showery weather in the south tomorrow, the market developed renewed strength.
 Trading was extremely active, and while continued realizing. much of which was attributed to the bigger local longs, caused occasional slight setbacks the general tendency of the market was upward. Re- ports that there had been another break in the levees just north of Natchez, prob- ably added to the bullishness of sentt- ment, while the advance also had the en- couragement of reports of higher interior southern spot markets, and ruinors that leading trade interests were predicting a much higher level before the end of the month.
 l At any rate the best point of the day was not reached until late in the day when large stop orders were uncovered and October sold at 11.5oc. with the gen eral list about 30 to s5 points net higher Notwithstanding very active profit talk | ing, the close was within a point or twI | of the best on the old crop, and only ol 1 points off on new crop positions
 It was estimated that the leading wal street and outside long interests sold full> 10000 bales of long contracts here today | for the purpose of taking profits and al | together it was estimated that the marker | had absorbed sales for long account amounting to at least 100000 bales.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, April 10.-Cotton futures opened steady, points off to 1 point up compared with yesterdays close. The English market was about as due and the weather map was unfavorable. Too much rain was noted in the cotton belt. Reports about the flood were unfavor- able These last two factors sustained the list In the face of considerable sell- ing in the early trading. Much of the operations appeared to come from real izing longs.
 The forecast predicted more rain over the greater portion of the belt. Follow ing this the market strengthened. After the opening the active months were down to points At the end of the first half hour they were to points up, compared with yesterdays final figures
 The list was dull throughout the morn ing. The undertone was strong. At no time was there a large business doing around the ring but the demand was steady and offerings were scanty
 The trade was greatly impressed with the extent of the overfiows In the Mis- sissippi valley and the falls above. There were reports of further rain. This in- tensfied bullish sentiment. Cable ad- vices from both Liverpool and Man chester was bullish but little attention was paid to 1t.
 At midday prices were 16 to g points over yesterdays close.
 In the late session the market was quiet but very strong Very little short sell ing was in evidence and offerings from longs grew smaller. At o'clock prices

FROST REPORT CAUSE
 BULGE IN WHEAT

Chicago, April 0.-Sensatonal reports as to the extent of winter killing frosts in Iowa, central Indiana and Ohio caused wheat prices to bulge today. The July delivery reached as high as 991Ac.
 At some places the damage was said to be the worst since 1885, and assertions of this nature received more credenee than usual. The reason was that the bull sh nature of the governments April re- port had not been frightened Signs of in- creasing publicity interest in the market were fairly numerous.
 The remarkable high prices for corn at St. Louis and Kansas City contributed no unit to the upturn in wheat.
 Specific details of harm alleged in some districts to equal 40 per cent led to a further rise during the last hour. The close was called strong. July was at the topmost price. or s1 .00A, clear advance for the session of Sc to SEC.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, April 10-(SpeciaL)- Trading today was spectacular and fluctuations were rapid with a sharp upward movement following some early liquidation on the first advance. Ca bles were good and Liverpool was strong throughout the cay.
 Our market was one sided with so universal belief in higher prices that 1t mag have severe check. Spot houses were credited with being profit takers, but local buying and a broaden ing market absorbed all offerings easily and consistently. The close was at the high level with an easier feeling after ward
 Flood news was indefinite but 1t is expected to be a bull factor for some days The weather Is unsettled. Much activity may be expected, as the situa- tion is complex, and owing to the pre- vailing idea that more than good crop for the coming season will be needed, weather conditions will from now on be more than unusually considered.
