heavy and actual rate were shaded from those of Saturday Sat-urday on account of the order of nearly near-ly I 1000000 in gold for shipment to Europe Leading Wall street houses are inclined in-clined to be reticent about this weeks gold shipment They point out that the order from London was in the market mar-ket several days last week and that many exchange houses refused it in compliance with a tacit agreement among them to refrain from shipping until there was greater profit in the operation or until demand sterling rose to 488 As a matter of fact Saturday Satur-day orders fo shipment of gold were based on a sale of cable transfers at 48814 Although the profit in this transaction is very small it js probable prob-able that other gold shipments will be made to meet the continuing Austrian and Japan demands on London This in the face of the existence of a trade balance in favor of the United States of over J24000000 with exports still continuing in excess of imports and wIt no

Greek defeat de-feat means a Speedy termination of the war There was no public support however and the market closed at the best The tone was fairly good The settlement shows a small account ac-count and money Is easy Contangoes on Americans are 2V4 2 tc tcThe The tone of Americans was good and the close was near the best The flatness of ICallirs Is a discouraging dis-couraging feature The New York gold shipments to Austria excite little interest here at present In good quarters it is estimated esti-mated that Austrias requirements of gold this year will be about 3000000 pounds At todays rate of 1 716 for discounts dis-counts no American bills are offering The Paris and Berlin markets WEre good but the close was under the best Chicago Produce Market Chicago April 26The prime motive for the action of all the grain markets was the prospect of a settlement of the GraecoTurkish war and a sharp decline de-cline at Liverpool For a few moments after the opening wheat had nil the earmarks marks of a panic and only for the fact that trading was confined mostly tog to-g operators the smaller fry having ben pretty effectually cleaned out last week the market would probably have developed into a general rough and tumble struggle to unload Most of trading Isjiow in July a cC Provisions were weak on a small amount of business Packers were liberal bidders for the moJoiate offerings offer-ings on soft sots but such times a they were out of the market It had no support and was influenced by the grain weakness The leading futures range as follows WHEAT No 2 I I Open J I
