The A. O, F. Corn, has received the following report from their New York correspondents, E. A. Pierce & Co. There is nothing of note in today's market. The dribbling of selling does not look iniportant but it is almost impossible to tell whether there is quiet liquidation under way in some sections.

Wheat: The market is erratic and nervous. Until May liquidation is over. The tone will probably be irregular. Crop news is bad." May 1st. will be the first notice day.

Cotton: The market ignored the higher advices from Liverpoel, There was some trade buying early in the day, but there was considerable liquidation and Southern selling, the rallying power of the market being feeble.

Silver: Diminishing prospects of silver legislation caused an opening weakness, but prices rallied on the aulaiding of selling pressure and pa short-covering in anticipation of a technical recovery.

U. S. Steel first-quarter net loss was 6,980,965, compared with 18,730, "871 for the same period last year. General Motors earned a dividend" of
