CHICAGO,
Chicago. Ill,, April 30.-The dullness of
changing and readjastlng of trades for May 1
was about ever when the board opened this
morning, and operators were ready for devel-
opments of some sort. In the wheat pit the
breaking of the drouth had already been dis-
counted, and although the market opened A O
lower, there was pretty gonerat buying In an
advancing market before noon. June opened
at 81Xc and a decline to a Hi a was followed by
limited buying, which gradually grew into
general buying when It was discovered that
no big break was probable, and by 12.30 Jane
had touched 83c, with gieat excitement aud
nervousness In the pit. This was an advance
of Xc over the bottom prices of the morning.
It was In fact a strong bull market on the crop
situation, In spite of rains and a decrease of
160,ICO bushels In the visible supply, when a
slight Increase had been looked for. On the
afternoon session a reaction set lu and most
of the auvance was lost, June closing at 81 Jc.
Corn, like wheat, opened weak, showed a
slight decline and reacted later, selling sev
eral points better than Saturday's close, aad
closing }4C higher for May, and Xc hlglie.' for
Juno Tide was a good bi.ll day In tlie nit,
considering the receipts and estimates. Toe
receipts were <43 cars, and f jr to-morrow 500
cars were promised. Early in the day there
was a flurry In May on account of a few shorts,
It opened at 64?ic, si Id down to 64Jic with
other futures, and then straightened up to 56c

NEW york stock MAKKET.
New Y'ork, April 30.—The stock marSet was
very active and strongI11 the forenoon to-day,
but reacted a-id became quiet later In the day
and a large portion of the gains wore lost,
though the llttasarule was fractionally hlghor
this evening, snd marked advauces wore
scored In a few stocks. London prl3es baca ue
veiy much higher than our closing 1 rl es on
Satuiday, and there was a heavy foreign de-
mand for sto^k",seconded oy liberal pucchasos
from out town parties. This made a very
sti ong opening, and in tplte of very heavy re
all/.atioi s on the pait of bulls the advances
weie tot only maintained but increase-',
though the pressure to sell finally began to
show, when the demand backed off. All the
favorites wore prominent in the rise, but tho
chief Interest was In New England and Mis-
souri Pacific, which again mate a marked
gain, and new rumors were afloat in regard to
the former which, however, lacked contlrma
tlon. Other specialties were very strong, and
among the rest Pacific Mall went up 011
the brighter prospects of the Panama canal,
but Louisville and Nashville, Norfolk
and Western preferred, San Francisco
and Wheeling and take Erie preferred, all oe-
ennne corsplcuous for advances made. The
news of the day was on the whole not favor-
able, but tho street paid little or no attention
to it, and It had no appreciable effect on tho
course of prices. The opening was very strong
and active and first prices were from x to 1
percent above Saturday's flial figures, the
latter In Missouri Pacific, Except In afdw
stocks, among which Missouri Pacific, Wheel-
ing and Lake Erie preferred, San Francisco
and sc me others were very strong, the gen-
eral list, after a slight fur.her advance, retired
to the neighborhood of first prices, but later
more;strength was shown and fractional gains
were made throughout the list. Chicago, Bur-
lington and Qulncy, however, was a marked
the exception to the general rule, being decld
edly weak tliroughout the day and finally
closed at its lowest price. The lowest figures
were generally reached after noon, when Un lon
Pacific, Missouri Pacific aad New England
made material docllnes, while the rest of the
list moved very slowly There was very little
change In the tone of dealing until
the close, when a better feeling w*d
shown and the market closed barely firm.
The final derllt.es are more numerous than
usual la.t week, but they areconfiued to sin >11
