LOW CROP ESTIMATE
SENDS PRICES Up
Wheat Closes at Net Gain of
a Shade to Is Cent.
Corn Advances

Chicago. April ga low Estimate of win
ter wheat and zrumors of short to buy
sent prices up today, and at the close there
was a net gain of a shade to &c. Corn
made a net advance Of ssmisc to l2assc.
Oats were a shade to 14c UP, but proyis-
ions ended at net decline unchanged to
15c lower.
Having previously accepted an expert
estimate of 9s2 per cent as the condition
of winter wheat the trade was taken back
when another expert placed the figures
at 81 s as of April /. Sentiment inclined
TO the lower estimate and there followed
sharp advance of prices, which were
down at the opening on lower Liverpool
cables and repetition of report showing
excellent crop conditions. Shorts became
nervous and gave added strength to the
market Later reports said high winds
had caused damage IN Kansas, and bull
ish tendencies were also aided by advices
that spring Wheat seeding in Russia had
been retarded by cold weather. \
Primary receipts of wheat were 54l, 600
bushels, as compared with 3os,0o0 bush
els a year ago Seaboard clearances OF
wheat and flour eaualled $4,000 bushels.
Corn shorts, made nervous by improved
conditions in the east, covered freely. The
upturn was also helped by higher outside
cash markets Good demand from the
east helped firm market for oats.
Provisions showed weakness at the close
despite considerable buying early by a
western packer The lack of strength
was caused by realizing sales.

COTTON NERVOUS
AND UNSETTLED
Trading With May Con-
tracts Relatively Weak
Under Liquidation

New York, April 3.--The cotton market
was nervous and unsettled during today's
trading with May contracts relatively
weak under liquidation inspired by predic-
tions that the local stock would be ten
dered on the active spring months. The
close was steady, with last prices net un-
changed to II points lower.
The market opened steady at an advance
of to points In response to better
cables than due, more favorable reports
as to financial conditions in Germany, a
continued rise in the river at Memphis
and apprehenslons of unsettled weather.
Prices worked upward another point or
two right after the call on foreign buying
and covering, but the market soon weak
ened as there appeared to be good deal
of May cotton for sale. Brokers sup
posed to be operating for the interests
who had taken up cotton on March con-
tracts were sellers of May against spur-
chases of July, and the scattering long
interest, which had been attracted by pre-
dictions OF a big May premium. began
TO iauidate some of its holdings This un-
settled the general market and prices
eased off from the best, but July was
held relatively steady by the demand
against sales of May, while aggressive Of
ferings of the later months were held in
check by predictions of unsettled weather
in the south and continued uneasiness as
to the ability of the Mississippi levees to
withstand the high stages predicted Tor
the river within the next few days.
Whenever offerings of May We're With
drawn the market showed a tendency to
steady I'D from the lowest, but every. lit
tie bulge appeared to attract renewed near
month liquidation and closing prices were
within a point or two of the lowest. II
was estimated that prominent brokers
had sold at least $4,000 bales of MAY
against purchases of July within the past
few days and the reversal of this biz
straddle interest was considered chiefly
responsible for the days developments
No change was reported In southern spot
market.

Session

New York, April s.-Until the last half
did little.
The list then Aadvanced suddenly with
Reading and the copper stocks in the
lead.
Reading was rushed up 81 points Early
in the day the market registered the ef-
feet Of moderate pressure from room
traders but declines were small. Losses
were gradually made up. and the final up
turn placed number OF stocks from to
9 points above yesterdays closing.
Trading was dull most of the session.
Although Wall street has viewed the COM
ing revision of the tariff during recent
months with a degree of indifference
which has been matter of comment. the
fact that the convening Of Congress is now
only few days off forced itself upon
counts of the character of the tariff
measures to be presented received con-
siderable attention, and served as a basis
for bear selling.
The chief movements of the day prior to
the spurt at the close were among the
specialtles Rumeleys annual report,
showing over 10 per cent earned on the
common stock, caused an advance of over
points in that stock. Can and Biscuit
also were strong. Rubber, Canadian Pa
cific and Chesapeake and Ohio were
heavy. Buying of the copper stocks was
Influenced by reports of an improving
tendency in the metal market. One of the
large selling agencies was reported to
have raised its price TO 15iac.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value, s2, OF, 900.
United States bonds were unchanged

Persistent Liquidation of
Long Account Feature
of the Market

New Orleans. April 3.-Persstent
liquidation of the long account was a.
feature of the cotton market today and
1T resulted in putting prices under the
level of yesterdays close after an ad-
vance above the early session. The de-
sire of owners of long contracts to even
up prevented new business by fright
ening off buyers among outside trad-
ers.
On the opening the tone was steady
and prices were to 6 points up Cables
We're strong and better than due. but
were balanced to some extent by very
favorable weather map. Considerable
buying was stimulated In the early
hours by the forecast of rain over a
large part of the belt. resulting from
a storm area centered on the map over
Arkansas. 1t was feared that this would
aggravate the river situation. At the
highest prices were 4 to points up,
which. was the high level of the day.
| Liquidation set in around the middle
of the morning on a large scale and
offerngs from longs weighed on prices
continuously from then on.
In the afternoon the market went 3
TO points under yesterdays final ig-
ures. The close was quiet and steady
unchanged to ) points down, compared

CORN FAMINE IS
GETTING SERIOUS
General Business Yesterday
in Wholesale Markets
Only Fair

The corn famine is beginning to assume
serious aspects. One of the Morris ave-
rue dealers received carload of corn
yesterday, but it is said this will afford
practically no relief The price is still
so cents and is expected to remain at this
figure until shipments begin to arrive
from the middle west.
General business on Morris avenue yes
terday was fair but was not quite up to
the usual brlskness. Poultry and eggs
had a very good day with quite a little
fluctuation in prices. In the fish market
snappers are still scarce with a fair de-
mand while mackerel are very plentiful
and the demand is comparatively small.
Fresh vegetables continue to be in ia
vor and small consignments are being
received daily.

pool showed some disposition to react
after the recent advance and this ten
dency increased the bearish feeling
amongst our local traders, which was
increased by the selling from New Or
leans. May was the delivery which
showed the effect of this feeling as the
idea grew that possibly much of the cot.
ton received on March might be rendered
on May and therefore 1t was for the
longs to accept the existing premium
and transfer their holdings to more dis
tant deliveries
While there is no change in the situa-
ton, the local trade are again very
