Breaking o Mississippi Levee
Causes Short Covering Move
ment in Closing Hour.
Xi.'W i’ORK, April 21.—Liquidation
waR less in uvidenoe at the opening of
• ne qton market to-day and first prices
^ er >. i point higher to 3 points off
from Saturday 8 iinal. May and July
Mtfain reversed positions and steadied
market This brought out a wave
to rt covering. Early loss was quick
ie retrieved and the list showed a
-wady undertone.
There was a great deal of July on
, ,,[1,1 at the outset, around 11.60. Con-
tinued buying around this level gave
market an advancing tendency, re
citing in Maj rallying to 11.66. July
vanced 9 points to 11.69. The remote
ptions were relatively firm and gained
t,. 7 points from the opening range.
The buying was in the face of excel-
...nt crop advices and favorable weather
levelopments over Sunday. But the
urge spot houses played for a reaction
ii the theory that there has been noth
ing but bearish news up to this time and
was time to look for something on
contrary.
During the forenoon Wall Street was
gainst the market and liquidated heav
ily. Liverpool sold and also the ring
rowd, while Memphis was reported a
buyer.
I^ater May showed weakness, which
ought out considerable selling from
nany prominent sources. This carried
u* entire list back to the initial level.
The May option was under heavy sell-
.ng pressure during the late forenoon
i ud showed further recession of 6 points
from the opening. The weakness in May
causing hesitation on the part of
muse inclined to the bull side and later
positions held steady around the open
ing prices.
Brokers who were closely identified
with the spot interests were moderate
buyers throughout the day, but senti
ment was against the market and prices
failed to bulge from the start. There
was nothing to create a scare among
shorts.
Liverpool is said to have sold fully
; .000 bales here to-day.
Price movement during the afternoon
• ssion was practically unchanged from
the opening, except May, which sus
tained the sharp decline.
A telegram received from Greenville,
Miss., stating that a levee had broken
at Glen Allan, Miss., 25 miles below on
.tne Mississippi side, checked the selling
to a great extent, resulting in May re
gaining the early loss. Shorts were
active buyers, causing the market to
dose very steady with prices at a net
advance of 4 to 7 points from the clos
ing quotations of Saturday.

wheat was bullish at the opening this
morning, when prices were V to %c
higher The professional element fa
red the long side almost to a man.
while commission houses were divided in
the matter of sentiment. The failure of
rain to appear In Western Kansas was u
bull help. There w’ere scattered show
ers. however, in sections of the North
west, where rain will probably do some
good. Northwestern receipts were larger
than comparative periods There wa
il big increase in tne amount on ocean
(•assage for the week ami the world’s
shipments were larger than a year ago
(Torn was firm, with offerings in the
pit somewhat larger.
Wheat closed strong and at advances
f %c to %c for the day. with the Sep
tember option showing the most gain
There were decreases In the visible sup
ply of wheat of 2.462,000 bushels, in corn
of 1,853,000 bushels and in oats of 899.-
000 bushels The Canadian visible sup
ply increased- 125,000 bushels. Advices
from Montreal report export trade fiat
and that in case of a weakening in the
Chicago market the Canadian price
would follow The trade expects 132
cars of wheat here to-morrow which
Is the largest for some time past.
Cash sales hero to-da\ were only 20.-
000 bushels of wheat 170.000 bushels of

Many Years’ Test of
Eckman’s Alterative
For several years a large num- j
ber of voluntarily written test!- (
montals from persons who recov- >
erod from Lung Trouble have been J
received by the makers of Eck- >
man’s Alterative, a remedy for the j
treatment of Throat and Lung j
Troubles. Surely plenty of time <
to demonstrate its lasting value, j
You can write to any of thorn for f
confirmation. Here is one:
”5323 Girard Ave., Phila.. Pa. j
"Gentlemen: In the winter of )
1903 I had an attack of Grippe, fol- ^
lowed by Pneumonia and later by J
Consumption. In the winter of j
1904 I had cough, night sweats, i
fever and raised quantities of aw- <
ful-looking stuff and later I had >
many hemorrhages; at one time
three in three successive days.
Milk and eggs became so distaste
ful I could keep nothing down
Three physicians treated me. I
ras ordered to the mountains, but
did not go. Eckman’s Alterative (
was recommended by a friend. )
After taking a small quantity I (
had the first quiet night’s sleep for j
weeks. My improvement was j
marked from the first. I gained )
strength and weight and appetite <
I never had another hemorrhage
and my cougft gradually lessened
until entirely gone. I am perfect
ly well.”
