CHICAGO.
Chicago, 111 , April 4.—There was a general
letting down In prices of grain to-day. The
leading cause was a partial settlement of rail-
road troubles blockade by shutting off re-
ceipts threatened In filling future contracts
on floor and by Interfering with commerce
and collections caused a tight feeling for
money. The situation this morning being
more hopeful the result was, naturally, lowor
prices and easier money. Provisions opened
lower, but developed considerable strength
later. At the very outset sales of wheat and
corn for May were fully >£c under closing
piltes on Monday. From these points there
were slight rallies on buying by those who
wished to bull the market and sell. The re-
sult was a decline from opening prices of
about Xc in both wheat and corn before noon,
which left the markets at 12 o'clock lc lower
than fori y hours before In both pits. There
w as|no sensational selling but a gradual sink
Ing of values under a liberal offering. Wheat
cpentd at 76?,'c for May, sold at 76>£c and then
f ark gradnnlly. At 1 p m. prices were at75*n,
but on the afternoon board there was a slight
recoveiy and the tlnal figures were 7BVC®7i;ic.
Coin (pened at 82J£c; May sold at 52>£c, from
which point it went down with slight rallies
to 8) %o, the pi ice at 6 p. m , react! ig later
somewhat, and closed for the day at82c bid.
Prevision operators were mostly bearish at
the opening. The stocks of product given out
yesterday were rather a disappointment t » a
majority t f traders, and the weakness 111 grain
also tended to encourage selling by strong
parties, and during early trading the lowest

NEW YOHK STOCK EXCHANGE.
Naw York, April 4.—The stock market was
more active to day than on any day for
months, and also decidedly strong almost
from the oponing to the close, the last prices
and best for the day being In many cases
Identical. The market advsmced readily even
on light purchases, but buying was very heavy
throughout the entire active list, which was
tho result of more than one favorable circum-
stance, chief among which may be mentioned
early advlccs from London giving the tone of
that market as very strong and buoyant,
coupled with undoubted liberal purchases for
foreign accounts, moie encouraging reports
from Washington as to financial legislation,
and especially news from Chicago of tho rais-
ing of the boycot on Chicago, Burlington and
Qulncy freight, -which was regarded as a prac-
tical settlement of the strikes In that region.
The covering of shorts was very heavy, and it
was asserted that most of these were
for account of western railroad officials,
and that they have been encouraging
the strikes for that purpose. Grangers
were of course most prominent In improve-
ment, but the entire list shared In an advan .0,
and coal stocks were extremely active and
strong with Gould stocks well uo. The liul 1
In tbeie stocks were more agnriisslve than at
any previous time during the present a 1
vance, and clique orders were placod lu all
the leading shares, brokers for Insiders bid-
ding prices up all atonnd the room. Thr.re
was a marked Improvement in Fort Worth
and Denver, whose decline last weok was
owing to sales of stock on the new extension,
and a good proportion of the loss was re-
gained. The opening Eales were'Jmade at ad-
vances extending to X per cent in the gener
al list, with exceptional galn3 among special-
ties, runglng up to 2 per cent. There was some
feverithnessIn the early trading, but the list
toon regained its tone, and tho market ud-
tanced steadily on very large dealings, though
gains were confined to about 1 per cent until
toward 2 p. m., when an advance
gathered force Mid everything shot up
fharply. The improvement ended only with
the close of business, which was active and
strong. Everything on the active list Is high-
er this evening except Richmond and Wust
Point preferred, which doclined 1, Burlington
nrd Qulncy IK, Reading and Missouri Pacific
2;;, St. Paul, Lackawanna and Canada Soii.il
trn each 2, Northwestern Western Union
IX, Consolidated Gas and Fort Worth and
Denver IX, Union Pacific and Lake Shore IV,
On alia and Colorado Coal 1 a, Texas Pacific
I,1.;,Oregon Transportation 1 per cent. Most
of the brokers report that continued liquida-
tions of the past year have left their 0111303
with but few stocks on hand.
Railroad bonds more active, but were irreg-
ular during the forenoon and only felt the
stimulus of the Burlington shares late In the
day, and while most of the Issues traced In
show advances a few bonds aie lower.
Government bonds firm.
State bonds neglected.
