UPWARD TENDENCY
 ON WHEAT MARKET
Prices in the Wheat Market Hinged Chiefly on Crisis
 With Germany

Chicago. April e4-word that conces- sions by Germany had become virtually assured caused the value of wheat today to average higher. The market closed unsettled. but shade to 7sc up, with May at SLIPS and July at $1.121a Corn finished at 1-16c off to A99sc advance, oats varying from a decline of a shade to 1s@5sc advance, and provisions unchanged to 40c higher.
 Throughout the day, prices in the wheat market hinged chiefly on development i regarding the crisis with Germany. " he upward tendency of quotations wa.s man. ifested strongly at the start. but upturas were seized on by some houses as at- fording @ welcome chance to close out to advantage a number of rather heavy holdings. The result was material set back, which for a time carried the mar ket well below Sa .urday's latest @igures More definite assertions of notable meas ures being undertaken by Germany tc preserve friendly relations with the United States led afterward to a fresh advance in prices to level higher than before. The rise, however, was not well maintained much doubt existing as tt whether the yielding by the Ber'i1 gov ernment would prove to be of sufficient extent to SatlSIy the dutHorlues at " d9i- ington.
 Dispatches from both Winnipeg anc Baltimore told of foreigners relinduishing purchases that had been made on basis of shipment to Europe. The Balti- more reselling was said to have beer done as result of orders from Scandi- navia. On the other hand, the Atlantic seaboard as a whole was credited witt new export sales aggregating 90O,0c0 bush els.
 Corn was governed almost wholly hS the changes in the price of wheat. Ac- tive demand from the seaboard was noted here and at Kansas City Oats had nc independent action. Aside from the in whence of other grain, the principa factor was the sale of 600,0Oo bushels foi export.
 Sharp advances in lard carried other provisions up grade. The impetus camt from signs of good buying of lard anc from the fact that hog receipts were less plentiful than expected.

ACTIVE RECOVERY : OF FAvOR|TE STOCKS
Buying Points to OversOld Condition, But Scarcity of
 Stocks Send Prices Up

New York, April 24--Takings it's cue from the more hopeful advices re- garding international conditions re- ceived over the weekend, today's mar ket opened active and strong and ex- cept for intermittent but minor reac- tions continued it's upward progress to the end. Some of the more active favorites recovered from to 6 points over last weeks lowest quotations ane investment issues, including rails, were better by to points.
 Much of the days headway was ef- fected at the expense of the short in terest, that faction being made to yield very large part of it's recent gains. The character of the buying as we'll as it's scope, pointed to an over sold condition and the ease with which certain speculative issues advanced in= dicated an increasing scarcity of those stocks, except for legitimate demand
 This was especially applicable to United States Steel and Mercantile Ma rines, which led the active day Steel made a maximum gain of 23s to S2R and Marine preferred rose GA to SOB WlLH I2 LOT lIlG COfuilOil cll 72s was generally assumed that the rise in Steel bore some relation to the quarterly statement to be issued to- morrow, which undoubtedly will dis close record earnings. Marines were strong throughout, but gained most ol their advance on announcement that pending litigation is to be submitted to a referee.
 Other strong and prominent issues included the Mexican group, Mexican Petroleum gaining 5H to 94% Greene Cananea 5ss to 46k, and American Sme1ting BE to 92.
 Westin ghouse, rising superior to la bor troubles rose substantially.
 Reading was the most active of the railway division, but Changers an6 Pacifics were not unresponsive to ia vorable traffic reports and the South ern Pacific statement for March, whicf showed a net gain of $736,000.
 Foreign exchange markets were com paratively quiet with slight shading o1 the rate to Berlin and increased strength of fires.
 The bond market was steady with an expansion of dealings. Total sales par value, were s3,175,000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Avery's Letter

Accumulated timidity over the holidays on account of the possible break with Germany caused the cotton markets to open off about 10 points this morning. After the initial spasm was over prices rallied quickly on buying by trade in- terests. Wall street was said to have been the chief seller in the New York
 market.
 Spots remained at unchanged prices
 over the holidays and on resumption of the future markets were said to be in
 good demand especially in Texas. It is said that the price of 11.SSc for
 middling in New Orleans is a nominal
 price and no cotton except hedged cot
 ton can be bought for that price in that market.
 The weather in the belt was favorable. Good rains fell in Texas as far south as San Antonio, but none in the extreme southern part of the state, where the
