WAGNER'S REVIEW
CIosina Stock letter.

The market today has bee ndul, pro
fessional and featureless: public par
ticipation was not negligible and price
changes inconsequential. In fact. the
market has been pretty much of the
same character all week, little or no
attention having been paid today to
developments, the financial community
having apparently made up its mind to
adopt a waiting policy pending the rate
decision. Railroad earnings have con-
tinued to make very poor showings;
the enormous losses in the net are
staggering. and if the carriers are not
to be given the right to increase their
income. the future looks pretty cloudy
for railroad securities. 1t must be
said, however, that such developments
as there have been with regard to this
important question have, it appears,
been interpreted favorably. Technic-
ally. the market seems to have gained
strength during the week and the short
interest is very arge. Given a favor
able decision in the rate case, it would
seem as though the ground work has
been thoroughly laid for a good ad-
vance. If the increase should be re-
fused. It is difficult to prognosticate
what might happen.

WEATHER CONDITIONS.

Light precipitation on the Pacific

the upper Missouri valley and the lake
region has resulted from the western

Mornin1 Grain Letter.

Chicago. April Newspaper COM
ments treat the green bug reports
with indifference. In any event green
bug damage will not show up for some
weeks. In 1907 the wheat market did
not take on green bug steam until May
l and the big upturn came in May.
Receipts of all grains should be light
right along. Much gossip that corn
has completed its upturn for moment.
Chicago corn sales Friday were very
small at $4,000 and Omaha was the
only city with good sales. To be
healthy corn should react another full
cent. Argentine corn offerings and
sales in United States continue at I'M
abated pace. Just how corn is to
maintain its bulges is not clear. The
Argentine ships corn heavily around
May ! and as il takes about 80 days
to reach the United States there will
evidently be plenty of South American
corn here in June. There are many
rumors tiat Argentine corn will be
ground by Illinois glucose mills. The
wheat upturn has caused some sur
prise. but wheat rarely descends per-
manently in April. Good rallies al
ways result. Western hog run has
sung TO small amounts. There are &C.
casional large runs. but these hogs are
scratched together at the expense of
later arrivals. Fear of bad break in
products has passed and provisions
promise bulges. Cables are steady and
in view of the Tuesday holiday markets
may be q trading affair with rally aft /,
er any early dip.
