Show MONEY MARKET IS LETHARGIC But Two Stocks Were Prominent on Wall Street NEW JERSEY CENTRAL AND WESTERN UNION MARKET CLOSED WEAK WITS A FRACTIONAL DECLINE Wheat Market i Gradually Settling Back Into Its Old Time Form Sterling Exchange SteadyWest era Live Stock Markets Fairly Active Other of the Worlds Markets New York April 22nly two stocks were dealt In today to the extent oC 10000 shares namely New Jersey Central Cen-tral and Western Union The stock exchange seemed to have lost docile faith in Londons superior knowledge of the value of American securities which it was so ready to acknowledge yesterday after its costly experience in yielding too much to the timidity of Monday The New York price refused to conform to the London quotations which had risen after the London open tag to above the New York closing I The New York price on the contrary con-trary obstinitely persisted at a lower level than the parity with London London Lon-don prices as a consequence fell off in I J iho finn rtoallnirs sormtr the nersistent I pessimism of the New < York market This pessimistic mood of the local dealers deal-ers discouraged London from buying in this market even with a higher range prevain in their own market Arbitrage Arbi-trage operations were insignificant The close in London showed the prices of < Americans still above New York parity in spite of declines In sympathy with New York The stock market as obstinately ob-stinately refused to respond to the weakness In wheat with a rise in the theory recently prevailing that the European war while it would increase the value of wheat would depreciate American railway values Prices Aerian rlwa3 Prces sagged all day and business was almost al-most stagnant minutes passing without with-out a single quotation being recorded The market was left entirely to the traders and these were influenced to some degree by the fact that a large operator recently a bear but who turned buyer yesterday joined the short side again today The reports and opinions regarding the war were very conflicting today There is a general disposition to buy on the belief in the success of the Turks on the ground that Turkish victory would lead to the intervention of the powers and the speedy ending of the war The absence of information from the Turkish forces and the confident claims put forth by the Greeks together to-gether with the news that a Russian fleet ha sought to pass through the Dardenele and that Turkey fears aggression I ag-gression from Bulgaria confused the calculations of stock dealers and gave a pause to the trading j The money market continues In lethargic condition and money brokers lethnrc conditon find new business practically nonexistent I non-existent thus reflecting the general business The

the foreign bourses were firm I Chicago General Market Chicago April 22Wheat was very strong during the frt hours trading Opening at from 74 up to 7n for May against yesterdays closing price of 75 but gradually worked up to iHi and fluctuated between 74 and 74i I for about an hour At the end of that time the short sellers became convinced I the bulls had exhausted their ammunition I ammuni-tion and on that hypothesis they commenced com-menced their attack The result was I quickly seen May tumbling from 74g to 731 in about ten minutes Talk of considerable business having been done in wheat for export from here this forenoon fore-noon helped keep the price up during I the first hour and a renewal of such rumors mors caused it to recover once more The details were not forthcoming how I erer with a sufficient degree of definiteness defin-iteness to b convincing and the price included a gain after having sold up to I 74144 for May the second time The Liverpool market opened at a decline I de-cline of d per cental for futures and closed at further loss of from 1 to I I I for futures and d advance spot The opening was much better than anticipated antici-pated and was quite influential in the I early strength of the local market Continental markets were all somewhat Contnental al I higher and the cause of their strength I i I was said to be reports of damage to the French crop from continued rains contnue f and to the Russian crop by frost and I drought Chicago receipts were only 1 cars Minneapolis and Duluth received 307 carloads against 27 a week ago and I 287 last year Atlantic port clearances were only 189000 bushels in flour and I wheat together and that was one of the things that encouraged the shorts Tne chief reason for weakness was the I the reports from the spring wheat I country of the vigor of the seeding I operations and the rapidity with which I the ground had and was stifl drying I The price got down to 72 for May on the second turn but a quick recovers I j to 73 f ensued That was the price at j the close I Corn was weak at the beginning of the session On short coverings however I how-ever prices were soon up again For the most part oats
