CHICAGO , May 2fi. Wheat was tired
today and after fluctuating languidly within
% c range , cloned % c loner. Favorable
weather. oa y cables and light export de
mand were bear factors and overbalanced
unfavorable crop reports from the west.
July corn closed Vic livser , July oats lc
lower and provisions slightly lower all
around.
Opening wheat trades showed but little
change , but the market gradually receded
% c. rallied &c , again sold off , ruled steady
and closed easy. Private cables reported the
weather abroad favorable and prices easier ,
and foreigners were credited with selling
in New York. There were a good many
bad crop reports In frojn the country again
today , but were offset by the bear news. A
feature wa the free cmerlng early by
Pardridgo selling for New York account.
The unfavorable Industrial situation com
bined with other causes to weaken values.
Lake business was dull , but rates were
steady at lUc for corn to Buffalo. Ocean
steamers were offering to take wheat from
Baltimore to Antwerp free.
Corn was % cry dull , within 9ic range.
The feeling was easier on favorable weather
and the action of wheat.
Oats were weak early on free offerings ,
rallying later with an Improved demand ,
casing off again and closing easy. The
range for July was 12Vio and the close at
the bottom.

liog receipts and declined more In sympathy
with wheat. The market was extremely
dull and closed near the bottom. Com
pared with last night , July pork is DC , July

STOCKS AND 1JOMJ.H.
final Sales of the Day Inillcntn B Decided
ImprnvfMiit-nt.
NEW YORK , Mar 25. This was a dull
day on the Stock exchange , and the result of
the day's transactions Is that with one or two
exceptions the active list shows an advance
In prices as compared with the final sales of
yesterday , ranging from % to 2U per cent.
Chief among the Influences which brought
about the appreciation In - valuesvcre agree
ment to maintain rates entered Into by the
railroad managers at Chicago , the easier tone
of the sterling exchange market , and the
consequent cessation of gold exports. The
covering movement by the shorts was quite
pronounced In Sugar , the grangers , Chicago
Gas , General Electric , Missouri Pacific and
New York Control. There was good buying ,
too , for the London account In St. Paul and
New- York Central , while Boston houses
bought Durltngton , and Insiders -were pur
chasers of Western Union. The fluctuations
In Sugar were -very frequent , the outside
range being 98Vi to 102 %
After an opening rise of Uc , a decline of
1 % per cent was made , followed by an ad
vance of 3 % per cent , a decline of 2 % per
cent , and an Improvement of 3V4 per cent
Of the Grangers , St. Paul and Burlington
were In most demand , and considerable
blocks were taken for the long account In the
belief that Increased earnings would result
from the settlement of the rate question The
general market opened firm and a shade
higher , and during the first hour the trend
of prices was upward Then came a frac
tional reaction , after which the speculations
were fairly steady until about 11 30 o'clock ,
when National Cordage preferred broke iy4
per cent and Buffalo , Rochester & Pittsburg
"Vi per cent , neither of which stocks made
any subsequent recovery Before noon the
market had again taken an upward turn , with
Cordage In the lead , but a reaction soon took
place , which was , however , but slight and of
brief duration During the rest of the after
noon the trading was strong In tone , with
only an occasional slight reaction , the closing
prices being ; at or near the best of the day
The bond market was firm In tone all day.
The Evening Post says : The only market
movement today with any pretensions at
common sense was In the granger stocks
Advices from Chicago reported the western
railroad presidents as having nearly dupli
cated the "gentlemen's agreement" of 1889
This may possibly be , though the economic
results of that much advertised event were
neier anything tremendous.
The Evening Post's London cablegram1
says- The general tone of the slock market
today -was good because ofvery cheap money ,
but operations were chiefly confined to first-
class homo stocks. Consols sold at 101 ViA
prolonged period of cheap money Is expected
Americans were Irregular , but better on the
whole , finishing under the best. . Great
timidity still characterizes this market.

Cattle Supply Euiinbg Even with Last

TRADE IN BEEF STEERS BRACING UP
Scarcity of Offerings Itrlngs n Illsn of 1'lvo

„ . FRIDAY. May 25.
So far this week , Compared with lost , the
supply ot cattle has fcoen about the same.
In hogs the Increase fitiiounts to nearly 6,200
' '
head , and In sheep to'p'uOO head.
Today's run of cajij was the lightest In
two weeks , and prloos responded with a Cc
to lOc advance on deslr'a'blc offerings. Better
reports from the east.'a'nd an active Inquiry
from local dressed bcgf- ) men enabled sellers
to work off their holdings to good advantage
In spite of the apparent Indifference on the
part of outside buyers. Handy fat beeves
and even good median weight steers were
ready sellers at the advance , but the rough ,
heavy grades did not show" much , If any. Im
provement. Nice , fat-l.OoMb. steers sold up
to $3.95 , while coarse 1.200 to 1,250-lb. stuff
sold around $3 35 and $3.60. It was a good ,
lively market throughout , and a good part of
the decline of the early part of the week has
been regained.
The cow market was .tolerably active and
fully steady all around. There -was the usual
Insignificant supply , and with the usual ac
tive demand the offerings -were not long In
changing hands. Calves were In fair demand
at steady prices , and the market for rough
stock was generally unchanged.
Business In stockers and feeders was de
cidedly demoralized. On account of the cry
dry weather , farmers are rushing their stock
cattle Into the market , and for the same
reason country buyers are staying at home.
The heavy supply and slack demand have
caused a drop of from 30c to 50c In values ,
and there Is scarcely any sale for them even
at the decline Good to choice feeders are
quoted at from $3 t6 $3.30 ; fair to good at
from $2.75 to $3. and the commoner grades
at from $2.75 down , Representative sales
DRESSED HEEF
IIOQS Hogs continue to come In freely.
Today's supply , 8,000 head , was nearly 2,000
heavier than a week ago , and the five days'
supply was nearly C.200 heavier than for
the corresponding period last week. Con
ditions were much the same as on Thurs
day , and prices , ruled a big nickel higher
on an average. The demand was good from
all sources , and , although the opening was
slow and the close weak , the general mar
ket was fairly brisk and stronger just before
the close than just after the opening. The
popular prices early -were $463 and $4.70 ,
with $4 G2H : for low market , and later fair
to good hogs sold largely at $4 70 , with some
of the best butcher and heavy w eight j up
to $4.75. On account of bad reports from
the east the market closed flat , with a few-
loads unsold. The big bulk of the hogs sold
today at $4.70 , the same 04 on last Friday
On Thursday the balk of the trading was
at $4 CO and $4 05. Representative sales.

NEW YOUK , May 25 n. G. Dun & Co.'e
vvpfkly review- tomorrow will say : Storms
and floods , prolonged strikes and large ex
ports of gold have done their utmost this
week to glte business a vacation. Hut the
wants unsatisfied during the past year , be
lated and much lessened and yet greater
than those of any other nation , have caused
a volume of trade quite large for the season.
Prices of products still tend downward ,
without much speculation. It Is not sur
prising that farmers retain their wheat , at
present prices , where they can. Corn has
been strong , notwithstanding large receipts
and Insignificant exports. Cotton has re
covered a shade to T4c , though receipts
for the ueek were nearly as largo as last
year and exports much smaller Pork prod-
uctc all declined with heavy receipts , and
coffee Is also lower. The astonishing cheap
ness ot wheat and cotton will affect the
rapidity of movement In the fall nnd al * > o
will directly lessen the amount of money
required In mot Ing the crops. While the
Iron Industry especially and many others to *
some extent ha\e been restricted by scarcity
of coal and coke , the number of works re-
Kumlng has been greater than the number
stopping from other causes. But U Is a
symptom not to be overlooked that the de
mand for manufactured products , Inslcad of
Increasing , appears for the moment rather
smaller than before , and Indifference of
bujcrs Is shown In cancellation of orders
hitherto given It is a waiting season ,
but the disposition to wale is this jcar much
Intensified. Failures diminish In Impor
tance , the amount of liabilities for the third
nock In May being only $2,204,139. and for
three weeks $7.836.972. of which $2.642,867
were of manufacturing and $5,025.077 of
trading concerns The number of failures
reported this week Is 183 In the United
States , against 259 last jcar , and In Canada
28. against 14 last > ear There arc not any
of much Importance.

cial review tomorrow will say : The short
Interest In railway stocks and manipulative
Influences In charge of the Industrials fur
nished nearly all tha speculative activity
of the week While the rinewcJ depress on

amount of liquidation , It was rppuront th ?

Meanwhile operations for thi > bar account

the country as during the past few weeks.
Superficial examinations of business con

Quite unfavorable advices come from Pitts-
