Tho half day with which tho week ended was marked by the Breatcat mar ket unsettlemcnt of the year. Thero was a long list of dlnturblntr factors, Includ ing Japan's attitude to tho provisions of tho Immigration bill, tho unfavorable tenor of Berlin advices and tho mandate Issued by tho Governor of Sonora declaring American franchises canceled nnd tho WeBtlnBhotiso strlko. There wns also fresh allusion to tho attitude of tho banks In curtalllnB accommodation of Industtlals, but back of all theso factors thero was tho most Important one of sadly depleted marRlns resulting from tho continued downward movement Tho combination of nil these factors camo with tho attendance of Important operators on the Street, tho smallest po far this year. Nearly all tho leading operators and representatives of Important Wall Street Interests had left the city on Thursday for a long Kaster holiday. Thin left the market without substantial support when liquidation and bear nttacks Were In progress. Thero Is llttlo doubt that tho active bear traders wero fully advised ns to this holiday absenteeism nnd that they had taken steps to make tho most of tho unprotected condition In which tho market had been left. From the opening aggressive bear drives occurred, starting with attacks on the Mexican group, and gradually extending all nround tho room, with constant offers of tho specialties nt substantial declines, causing a crumbling away of the market values of those stocks. It has been a matter of comment ever since the resumption of dividend pay tnentn on United Btatcs Steel common last January that stocks had been sup plied from strong sources on a demand which was then created and that tho pub lic, had been loaded Up with all tho storks It would take. The process of forcing unloading Is now in order, and when speculative accounts ere thoroughly cleaned out It may bo assumed that different market conditions Will prevail. r Wo will have on Tuesday the statement of tho United States Steel Corpora tion for tho first quarter of tho fiscal year, nnd estimates aro that tho showing for tho three months ended March 31 will ho ahovo (03,000.000. Tho Street now generally looks for something larger than the Hi per cent, dividend declared last January, and If an extra or Increased dividend Is declared tho stock will look cheap at Its current price. For tho day, however, there was no disposition to discount any such action. In tho lato trading thero was tho usual evening up of traders' nceoiints for tho purposo of having clean books over Sunday. As a general rule thero were losses of 1 to 9 points, and In somo cobcs tho declines wero larger, as in General Motors, which was off 20. Bethlehem Steel was an exception, selling up 9 points.

April 22. Conflict I nr in. finances were again at work In the wheat market today with the diplomatic situa tion receiving: the bulk of attention of traders. Opinions concerning the outcome were mixed and this caused hesitation on tho part of many of the operators around the pit. At the start May was quoted from 11.14 01.1 3 , a decline of 3 cents. July, at 11.13 and !1.13tt01.13. a ions of a half cent, and September, nt 11.11 ',i0 U1S, off cent. Later prices fell Ibout H cent furtBer, due to scattered Minns' and fears of May liquidation, which served to cheil buylnsr. Business was quiet throughout. The Kansas SUto report, which was mads publlo over the holiday, showing a gain of 7.3 per cent, over the Government estimate for April to 87.3 jer cent., was the cause of considerable comment, It was pointed out that thla'State was one of the exceptions, as recent jreports from other sections were quite unfavorable. A report from Ottawa stated that of the total estimated yield of 1915, 23 per cent-. or 81,854,000 bushels, remained in the farmers' hands at the end of March as compared with ItVt Pr cent a year ago. The receipts for two days at Minneapolis and Puluth were 384 cars. The receipts on this day a year ago were 228 cars; at Chicago, 92 cars, compared with 98 cars, and at Winnipeg, 260 cars, contrasted -wttil 185 cars. Corn was easier, with small trading. May was down He, September lie apd July !& Offerings were rather Jlght, because of recent unfavorable weather reports, which were against farm work. Ttts receipts here today were 88 cars. Trmliiis In oats war light, with prices ?ic to He lower. The receipts here to day were 174 cars. i'roylllons were Inactive and about steady.
