WHEAT ISSTRONG ON
EXPORT SITUATION
Much Trading in Hard Win
ter Wheat Was Done
Tuesday

Chicago, April 16-Strengtn was i'm
parted to wheat today by the export situ-
alton, net gains of a4@7sc beng recorded.
Corn closed irregular, shaee eAlower to
&c up. Oats made net advance of 1s@
9sG1kc. Provisions were Irregular, 10e
lower to lie higher
1t became known today that good
deal of business in hard winter wheat
was done on yesterdays dip. the sea-
board, chiefly Baltimore. taking upward
of 100000 bushels here. It was claimed
in a message from Baltimore that ex-
port business there was the best in Is
years. but this was modified somewhat
by later advices saying that some of tho
business done was In resales. Before the
export situation became prominent in the
days gossip the market bad shown
strength on the higher Liverpool cables,
based on improved continental demand.
The fact that for the first time on rec
ord lday wheat had sold yesterday in
winnipeg higher than in Chicago, also in
creased belief in the international strength
of wheat. The market was on the up
grade all day, with exception of a tenn
porary setback on liquidation early In
the session.
Primary receipts of wheat today were
900 bushels against $4,000 last year.
Seaboard clearances of wheat and flour,
equaled 5000 bushels.
Selling pressure sent May corn down
a little. but the deferred options were
fairly firm. Bull leaders sold early but
bought OH the dip. Covering by shorts
gave strength to oats after some early
weakness.
Provisions, especially pork. had a weak
undertcne on increased western hog run.
Pork finished the day at losses, but lard
and ribs were some higher on packing
house buying.
Future quotations were as follows:

COTTON MORE OR
LESS IRREGULAR
Close Steady With Net Gain.
Near Months Are
Firm

New York. April 16.-The cotton mar
ket was more or less irregular today
but showed quite a steady undertone.
and closed steady net four points higher
to six points lower, near months be-
ing relatively firm.
The opening was steady at unchanged
prices to decline of four points and
the accident sold about to points net
lower during the morning under scat
tered liquidation and local selling in
srired by somewhat disappointing ca
bles and favorable weather in the south.
Houses with foreign connections were
good buyers of the old crop months,
which checked the decline in those posi-
tions, and in contrast with their recent
ruling, new crop positions were rela-
lively easy. Offerings became a little
heavier right after the close of Liv-
erpool, but buying from foreign sources
continued and was accompanied by ru-
mors that prominent English houses
were planning to take up cotton on
May contracts here and ship 1t for de-
livery on the summer months abroad.
These reports, combined with larger
southern spot sales and private advices
claiming better demand from southern
mills seemed to cause near months
shorts some uneasiness, particularly as
favorable weather news had failed to
stimulate any general or aggressive SELL
ing. Covering, consequently, became
quite active and the market worked
sharp from the lowest during the early
afternoon, with near months leading the
advance, and selling about six to eight
points net higher New crop months
worked a point or so above last night s
final figures, but met somewhat in
creased Offering on the advance and the
general list eased off four or five points
| from the best on the late trading.

UNDERTONE STEADY:
MARKET SP|R|TLESS
Few Important Changes.
Prices Move Back and
Forth

New York, April 16-Although the stock
market was spiritless and unstable today,
the undertone was appreciably steadier.
Stocks were depressed at the outset with
a recovery quickly following, and during
the remainder OF the season prices moved
back and forth within a narrow range
with few important changes. Increased
resistance was offered to pressure, and
most of the stocks which have been no.
ticeably weak recently made a better
showing. The petroleum stocks, in partie-
uar, were strong.
There was an increased inquiry for
stocks at the lower level established by
yesterdays trading. but the demand was
not keen and fell off when quotations adj
yanced Speculative conditions were
virtually unchanged and on neither side
of the market was there a disposition to
take the initiative. Trading fell off and
at intervals during the middle of the
day the market was at standstill.
Copper shares were heavy at times de-
spite the report that the leading selling
agencies had advanced the quotation for
refined metal to 15&c. There was a de-
cline in standard copper warrants in the
London metal market and buying of the
metal for Europe was said to have been
checked. The market abroad was influ-
enced by the fortnightly copper statement
showing an increase in European visible
supply of the metal of $4,000 pounds. In
the steel and iron trade it was said that
some branches We're showing indications
of slowing up, although the effect of the
Hoods in. the central states, according to
the weekly reviews of trade authorities,
was less than had been expected.
Some traces of Improvement was shown
in bond prices, but enough selling went
on to make the tone unsettled. The new
st. Paul AZ sold down to 1914. compared
with the SUBSCRIPTION price of 991ac. Total
sales, par Value s1,95s0oo.
United States bonds were unchanged on
call.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, April 1G.-(Special )-cabIes
this morning met our advance of yes
terday and spot sales were again larger
at 1000 bales. The south reported a
better demand for spots from Europe and
fair sales were reported this afternoon
in both Houston and Memphis. But on
the other hand there is no change in
the local sentiment which is extremely
bearish so tHht the Improvement when
the May liquidation ceased in the morn
ing was steadily opposed through tie
day. May frmed up relatively with
July, but it is not to be supposed that
the Liquidation in that month is entire
ly completed.

Coffee Market

New York, April 1e.-Coffee futures
opened steady at an advance of to s
points in response to higher European
cables There. did not seem to be much
coffee for sale around the local ring
and prices showed a generally advancing
tendency on covering of shorts mod
crates demand from trade sources and
European buying. Possibly reports from
Washington that the government had
dropped the valorization case helped the
tone of the market to some extent in
connection with steady primary markets
and moderate Brazilian receipts. The
close was steady at net advance Of
10 to 20 points. Sales S5.250 April 1865;
