the deduction that it the end of April
a safe stand is guaranteed nowhere in

is unlikely, it is logical to infer that
the burden of the proof continues to
rest on the shoulders of the big crop

that October deliveries this year are

NE\Y ORLEANS. May 1.—There was
a sharp upturn in the Liverpool market
this morning, futures being ns much a*
higher: spot prices 2 up. sales 10.-

tributed to the change; the feeling was
in favor of a reaction; the report of
The Journal of Commerce giving in its
preliminary forecast only 2.8 per cent in
crease in acreage was construed as bull
ish: Miss' Giles makes the increase 2 7
per cent, a bullish circular by Mr. Price;
bullish weather prospects ami more op
timistic views from Paris op the po
litical situation.
First trades here xvere at an advance
of 14 to 17 points, which met with heavy
selling, causing a depression of 10 points.
\s soon as this selling xvns accommo
dated. the market again showed a
stronger tone and a tendency toward
further reaction. Much depends on the
political news of the next few days.
The into-sight for the week looks
around 96,000 bales, against 134,836 last

GRAIN MARKET OPINIONS.
CHICAGO, May 1.—Bartlett & Frazier:
Wheat—Prices may rule a little lower,
but we continue to feel very friendly to
the market on weak spots.
Corn Country offerings keep moder
ate and stocks are likely to show further
decrease this week. Southwestern mar
ket's ar^ very firm wit blight receipts.
oats—Country offerings snow little or j
no increa*** while the shipping demand is !
fairly good. The undertone to the mar- j
ket continues very firm.
Provisions—The market sAcms to have j
a healthy undertone."

bonds, Helling about 98 and earning
eight to ten times more than the in
terest requirements, offer inducements
to busim e- men drawing 4 per cent
on saving bank deposits. The Beth-
leh : i Steel Company's first and re

; fniriv good bond. Baltimore & Ohio

W \I. W. It is generally »-oiiceded
by judges of markets and values that
no prolonged upward movement in
stocks can bo looked for until the
bond m arket develops a firmer un
dertone. With standard bonds slowly
but steadily decling and new issues
coming upon the market in large vol
ume. there is little inducement for
th - public to buy common stocks, ex
cept ns a speculative venture. There
are exceptions to this, as to all rules.
The main point, however, lies in the
fact that active and broad speculative
movements in the stock market do
not precede a firm bond market. With
many indications of a high rate for
funds in the fall, a sustained bill’
movement in stocks is scarcely looked
for at this writing.
