An Early Drop, Followed by an Advance of 2 3-4 Cents, 'and a Final Collapse of 13-4—New York (\u25a0 took Speculation Was Confined to the Home Traders —Little Business Transacted. Chicago, April6.— lt was a wild, up- roarious day in the wheat pit. First there was a drop of l'oC in May. then a series of jumps until ithad advanced 2?4'c, and later a sudden collapse of l-'^e, with in the end a gain of 4 c above yesterday's close. Spreaders who had been working on the expectation of July going to a premium of 33aC were stranded by those months coming to- gether for a few moments with a clash, and the covering of a line of short wheat for a Baltimore house will h found itself unable to respond to fur- ther margin calls, was among the rea- sons for the great excitement which ruled during the greater part of the session. Corn and oats received some benefit from the strength in wheat, but lost it all again. Provisions are weak and dull, pork closing at from 15c to 17;._. c decline.

May opened with almost the en- tire crowd willing to sell at 64c. and some with ideas no higher than 63%cat the same time, v The lower figures soon prevailed, and before the early competi- tion to sell was overcome by the buying: orders which were waiting to come* out the price had dropped to 63% c:- The swell which resulted after the market had duff down to the : buying stratum caused a : quick recovery to 64^c, and these fluctuations occurred in me first forty minutes of the session. The de- sire to sell was' not occasioned by any; change in the situation. The main cause of it was the profit which so . many had in the " long wheat bought within the last few days and the attempt to turn that into money. The weather was still. cry in Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri, where the plant is reported to be suffering for the want of rain. The advices from those slates do not offer much encourage- ment for the fanners who have winter wheat in the ground. A more' pro-' tracted diought would mean a still mere aggravated loss. The Missouri state crop report announced that 25 per cent of the winter wheat in that state had been damaged by the late freeze. The frost damage in Southern Illinois and Southern Indiana and in Kentucky, Tennessee and Ohio may also be largely reduced with the proper kind of weather. . From California the same discourag- ing drought which prevailed up to yes- terday was reported as still doing its withering work. All that would prob- ably have had but little further imtnedi- ote effect, and a reaction of 1c or 2c was confidently looked for by the bears, when it became whispered about that there was some urgency in the demand! for cash wheat. When it became known j that a Milwaukee miller had bought here 200,000 bushels of hard spring wheat to be ground at his mill; that the price paid for it was within a fraction of oc premium over the price of regular contract wheat for May, and -that it could have been sold over again at a straight oc premium— in one case to a miller and again U>;al3uffalo miller— the bull musicians in the pit, who had simply been tuning their fiddles up to that time, started up with a quickstep, and the bears danced for twenty min- utes like delirious dervishes, throwing tip their hands and shouting for wheat at the same time, until May was up to 65& c and July to Ctf%; the latter hav- ing sold earlier in Hie day at (55c Even at those prices they only slopped a few minutes tor breath, and when they started again they put May up to (Me. and July to 60%*. The bulls desisted after May had risen to 66J^c and July !o 60% c, and the price was allowed to drop l^c about as rap- idly as it had risen that much. Atone period of the advance May and July for a few seconds were traded in at the same price, and for quite a long time the difference was only J£c May about 1:2:45 o'clock was down to 64j*jCaild July to 65c. The closing prices were: May, 64% c; July, 65)j»c. There was a fair business done in corn, and the market went soaring at onetime. The shorts were badly de- moralized by the jump in wheat, and that was the chief reason for the ad- vance which took place in the middle of the session. When wheat came off its perch toward the end, corn' lost for a time all its earlier advance. Later there were independently strong points in the corn situation, and the market wound up linn at a slight improvement on yes- terday's closing prices. May started weak, with wheat, at 38^t\ sold off to 3S%c, recovered to 39% c, and closed at 3t%@S9e, compaied with 3S>sC yester- day. There seemed to be a general uprising in the oats crowd today. ..No only was there a big business transacted, but the market was independent; strong. Even at the opening when corn and wheat were easier, the price . of oats was up from Js to \ic This was due to the fact that while the reports of the condi- tion of the wheat and corn crops were conflicting, they were universal as to the oats crop being badly damaged. May started at ol^r, against yesterday's last quotation of 31% c: sold up to S2)£c. The later oecline in larger market was more influential, and when the de- clines in these prices began oats also fell off. May sold back to ol%c and closed at that price. Provisions acted weary with the load of tlieir recent advance. There was an appearance of the more anxious of the shorts having come in, and of even some selling on short account. There was a few short-lived spurts of activity at times when wheat was on the rampage, but the result of the day's trading was a small aggregate. May pork opened off 10 cents at $1-2.02.' .;, and was $11.93 at the close. Lard for May closed at $7.10, or 2% cents loss for the day. May ribs closed 5 cents lower.

Prices bounced around in a wild man- ner all the session, and $i@)%G changes were merely noticed. There was a good deal of buying to cover shorts and for the long accounts also duriug the morn- ing on reports from Kansas and Ne- braska. Orders came in from every source, and a strong close was looked for, when, without any warning, the market turned, and within less than an hour dropped 2c a bushel, closing very unsettled.

CITY MORTGAGES Negotiated on Improved Real Estate, at Lowest Rates. E. W. PEET&SON, uiilinttuu guildlag. F1.V45<1'141.,. New Yet* lt. New York, April 6.— The speculation j on the stock exchange today was con- fined almost entirely to home trading. Purchasing orders sent before the opeu- ing of the exchange for the London ac- count at a fixed limit were not executed to any extent, as the current figures were abovo the; prices set. Some small lots of St. Paul and 1,500 shares of Chesapeake & Ohio were purchased, together with some Louisville & Nash- ville, Wabash and Kansas & Texas preferred. At the opening the ma.-ket was firm and 'active, the first prices made being as a rule higher than the closing figures of yes- terday. Sugar and Distilling being ex- ceDtions, opened a fraction lower, and receding in the early dealings,while the rest of the list, under the leadership of ' lead, moved up %to I,Vin the first fif- teen minutes. Sugar, on small selling, declined % s and then under fairly good buying took an upward turn, advancing 2#, and reacting %at the close. The movement in this stock was mainly duo to the covering of short contracts. Dis- tilling fell off )i in the opening trading as the effect of Judge Gibbon's decision ordering the trial on its merits of the suit against the company under the Illinois and trust law. There was a quick recovery of : the loss, and during the afternoon an advance ; of 1%,"0f which \i was lost in the closing saies. Some of the specialties made material advances during the morning, notably Edison . Electric, 2, which, after a reaction of 1, recorded an additional advance of I>£, making a gain of *;% ou the day. Oregon "Navigation broke 3, and Minnesota* lron 2. : Between 11 ami ;12 o'clock . the ; market was ] very strong on a light:: volume of business, and ' ; prices ruse ">^@l^," the ]latter Minne- apolis &St. Louis. Toward noon there' was a partial reaction, but after midday the market v became strong again, and with an occasional reaction continued to advance to the clo?e,the final dealings being in most cases at or near the best of the day.

Koek Island gained \%\ Northwest 1$?;- --do preferred. 1; St. Paul, I3g; do -pre- ferred; %, and Burlington &Quincy. %. .The strength of these stocks was due in the advance in wheat, and the leading gains were Minnesota & St. Latijs preferred, \% do common.

The Evening Post say-: Activity in stocks slackened today at very much the same, time the day's top prices were reached in wheat. There was, however, no yielding of security prices, and the advaucirg tendency was rather especi- ally marked in bonds. Outside the granger group, the noteworthy net gains were chiefly, confined to the in- dustrials and the low-priced London specialties. Distilling cerUlicatestinoved about in such aimless fashion as to suggest complete ignorance among the speculators of the Chicago quo warranto decision's actual scope. Foreign houses T did comparatively little, and are natur- ally wary of taking large chances at the present level. MICHAEL DORAS \u25a0''-'.".-. JAMES DORAN..

It was discovered today that a sharp trick lias been played upon the Democrats by the Republican, committee having the state appoint- ment matter in charge. The recent Democratic apportionment was declared by the Republicans to be unconstitu- tional, and a committee was appointed to press the case before the supreme court, which is Republican four to three. T. N. Jamuson, a member of that com- mittee, explained today that the case will not be taken to the court before June, as, if tbfl law is declared un- constitutional then, it will leave the st;;ie without an apportionment. This will necessitate a special session of the legislature, at which a two-thirds ma- jority will be necessary to pass a law that will go into effect for the No- vember election. '•Of course tne Democrats cannot muster a two-thirds vote without mak- ing a law that will be satisfactory to the Republicans," said Mr. Jamieson. "The supreme court will undoubtedly rule in our favor, and we will secure a satisfactory apportionment." The S. H. Wood Produce Company, grain brokers, of Minneapolis, in their letter tonight say: We do not like to advise our customers to buy wheat on bulges, but the market today has shown that the buying force has but just be- gun. Next Tuesday the government report will be issued, anrt the best authorities say that it will be bullish in the extreme, as it will show that the winter wheat has bern badly damaged. The spring seeding is in excellent con- dition, so that we are inclined to be con- servative, but we are going to have good markets on which to make money from this on. PROPOSALS FOI?

sion. May opened with almost the en-tire crowd willing to sell at 64c. andsome with ideas no higher than 63%catthe same time, vThe lower figures soonprevailed, and before the early competi-tion to sell was overcome by the buying:orders which were waiting to come* outthe price had dropped to 63%c:- Theswell which resulted after the markethad duff down to the:buying stratumcaused a :quick • recovery to64^c, andthese fluctuations occurred in me firstforty minutes of the session. The de-sire tosell was' not occasioned by any;change in the situation. The maincause of it was the profit • which so.many had in the

"long wheatbought within the last few days andthe attempt to turn that into money.The weather was still. cry in Kansas,Nebraska and Missouri, where theplant is reported to be suffering for thewant of rain. The advices from thoseslates do not offer much encourage-ment for the fanners who have winterwheat in the ground. A more' pro-'tracted diought would mean a stillmere aggravated loss. The Missouristate crop report announced that 25 percent of the winter wheat in that statehad been damaged by the late freeze.The frost damage in Southern Illinoisand Southern Indiana and inKentucky,Tennessee and Ohio may also be largelyreduced with the proper kind ofweather.. From California the same discourag-ingdrought which prevailed up to yes-terday was reported as still doing itswithering work. Allthat would prob-ably have had but little further imtnedi-ote effect, and a reaction of 1c or 2c wasconfidently looked for by the bears,when it became whispered about thatthere was some urgency in the demand!for cash wheat. When it became known jthat a Milwaukee miller had boughthere 200,000 bushels of hard springwheat to be ground at his mill; that theprice paid for itwas within a fraction ofoc premium over the price of regularcontract wheat for May, and -that itcould have been sold over again at astraight oc premium— in one case to amiller and again U>;al3uffalo miller—the bullmusicians in the pit, who hadsimply been tuning their fiddles up tothat time, started up witha quickstep,and the bears danced for twenty min-utes like delirious dervishes, throwingtip their hands and shouting for wheatat the same time, until May was up to65&cand July to Ctf%; the latter hav-ingsold earlier in Hie day at (55c Evenat those prices they only slopped a fewminutes tor breath, and when theystarted again they put May up to (Me.and July to 60%*.

The bulls desisted after May had risento 66J^c and July !o 60%c, and the pricewas allowed to drop l^c about as rap-idly as it had risen that much. Atoneperiod of the advance May and July fora few seconds were traded in at thesame price, and for quite a long timethe difference was only J£c May about1:2:45 o'clock was down to 64j*jCaildJuly to 65c.

•The closing prices were: May, 64%c;

July, 65)j»c.There was a fair business done in

corn, and the market went soaring atonetime. The shorts were badly de-moralized by the jump in wheat, andthat was the chief reason for the ad-vance which took place in the middle ofthe session. When wheat came off itsperch toward the end, corn' lost for atime all its earlier advance. Later therewere independently strong points in thecorn situation, and the market woundup linn at a slight improvement on yes-terday's closing prices. May startedweak, with wheat, at 38^t\ sold off to3S%c, recovered to 39%c, and closed at3t%@S9e, compaied with 3S>sC yester-day.

There seemed to be a general uprisingin the oats crowd today. ..No only wasthere a big business transacted, but themarket was independent; strong. Evenat the opening when corn and wheatwere easier, the price .of oats was upfrom Js to \ic This was due to thefact that while the reports of the condi-tion of the wheat and corn crops wereconflicting, they were universal as to theoats crop being badly damaged. Maystarted at ol^r, against yesterday's lastquotation of 31% c: sold up to S2)£c.

The later oecline in larger marketwas more influential, and when the de-clines in these prices began oats alsofell off. May sold back to ol%c andclosed at that price.

Provisions acted weary with the loadof tlieir recent advance. There was anappearance of the more anxious of theshorts having come in, and of even someselling on short account. There was afew short-lived spurts of activity attimes when wheat was on the rampage,but the result of the day's trading was asmall aggregate. May pork opened off10 cents at $1-2.02.' .;, and was $11.93 atthe close. Lard for May closed at $7.10,or 2% cents loss for the day. May ribsclosed 5cents lower.

Orders came in from everysource, and a strong close was lookedfor, when, without any warning, themarket turned, and within less than anhour dropped 2c a bushel, closing veryunsettled. Wheat poured in the marketin blocks during the decline.

New Yet*lt.New York, April6.—The speculation

jon the stock exchange today was con-fined almost entirely to home trading.Purchasing orders sent before the opeu-ing of the exchange for the London ac-count at a fixedlimit were not executedto any extent, as the current figures

were abovo the; prices set. Some smalllots of St. Paul and 1,500 shares ofChesapeake & Ohio were purchased,together with some Louisville &Nash-ville, Wabash and Kansas & Texaspreferred. At the opening thema.-ket was firm and 'active, thefirst prices made being as a rulehigher than the closing figures of yes-terday.

The Evening Post say-: Activity instocks slackened today at very muchthe same, time the day's top prices werereached in wheat. There was, however,no yieldingof security prices, and theadvaucirg tendency was rather especi-ally marked in bonds. Outside thegranger group, the noteworthy netgains were chiefly, confined to the in-dustrials and the low-priced Londonspecialties. DistillingcerUlicatestinovedabout in such aimless fashion as tosuggest complete ignorance among thespeculators of the Chicago quo warrantodecision's actual scope. Foreign houses Tdid comparatively little,and are natur-ally wary of taking large chances at thepresent level.MICHAELDORAS \u25a0''-'.".-. JAMES DORAN..

—It was discovered

today that a sharp trick lias been playedupon the Democrats by the Republican,committee having the state appoint-ment matter in charge. The recentDemocratic apportionment was declaredby the Republicans to be unconstitu-tional, and a committee was appointedto press the case before the supremecourt, which is Republican four to three.T. N. Jamuson, a member of that com-mittee, explained today that the casewillnot be taken to the court beforeJune, as, if tbfl law is declared un-constitutional then, it will leave thest;;ie without an apportionment. Thiswillnecessitate a special session of thelegislature, at which a two-thirds ma-jority willbe necessary to pass a lawthat will go into effect for the No-vember election.

'•Of course tne Democrats cannotmuster a two-thirds vote without mak-inga law that willbe satisfactory to theRepublicans," said Mr. Jamieson.

"The supreme court willundoubtedlyrule in our favor, and we will secure asatisfactory apportionment."
