CHICAGO. M y C. Whcnt today continued
on the upward course It commenced ycslcr-
dny nnd closed with a Kfiln of lo per
bushel. Slroni ; foreign markets v.cro the
principal factor , although clilnch bugs In
the southwest also ate holes In the bears'
nrmor. Corn cloned unchanged nnd oats
Uc higher. 1'rovlslons made n small ad
vance.
In wheat considerable hesitation was
Bhown nt the opening , duo to th6 pptondld
weather and rather heavy receipts In the
northwest , with reported practical crimplo-
tlon of secillnR In that section. Hut the
weakness died out nt once. The first trnns-
nctlons In July were at from G9V. yester
day's nlosliiu quotation , down to CSHc. It
uold very sparingly nt < W4c , " ' "I tllcl1 toolt
nn upward course , which It pursued xvlth
but small reactions until at 12 o'clock 71'Ac
was living bid. Thu Uverpool market opened
nttfiltS hlKher and In the course of Its
litter lliicttintlnnii Kot to ' d above tlie pre
vious day'H cloning llgtiri-H. That helped In
crentliin the bullishness which the advance
to 71'jc represents. St. I.ouls had a grist
of chinch him stories from Missouri nnd
Kansas and the San -rnnclsco l market was
very HtroiiK , notwithstanding rain had fal
len In the northern part of the slate. } ' ll ;
niaU'S of the crop In that state made It
10.tuO.000 bu. nhort of the previous year s
ylald. Uotli this nnd the St. Louis bug
Btorlcs bad their effect. Seaboard UIICTKC-
rnents , wlilch were reported ill ten boat
loads to bet-In with , bad Increased by noon
to twenty-five loads. Chicago receipts
amounted to 'Wenty-two ' cars. Minneapolis
and Duliilh K'Jt "US ears , npnlnHt 330 n week
tire and 208 the corresponding day of the
year before. Thu Atlantic port clearances
of wheat nud Hour were Cunl | to lifi.ono bu.
Liverpool closed at from Id to I' ' d higher.
Thu advance was Dually brouphl to a
standstill by the lack of spot demand line
nnd by selling against calls. Ueallxlng was
heavy enough to force u decline to l' . c nt
the clone.
Corn ruled quiet nnd kept within n nar
row range. It was Inlluen.'fd some by the
strength In wheat , but this factor was par
tially offset by the line weather and the
Btcady progress of planIng preparations.
KxportHvrc again heavy. MJ.OOO bu. July
opened a khade lower ut from Sl'40 to 2IT r ,
Bold nt Slviic. and advanced slowly to 21'jy
2."c. It closed nl 2le asked.
In oatH May was Inclined to drag , but the
later deliveries were firm. There was a
peed demand for July and that and sym
pathy with wheat resulted In n slight ad
vance. Kxports were IBI.ono bu. July
opened a shade lower at IT'ijtC , advanced to
17e. and rested with sellers nt from 174e
to 17ric. ,
' I'rovlNloiis opened firm on small hog re
\'S \ ceipts , ruled ntrniiK for a phort time nn a
j moderate amount of buying , but closed with
, most of the early advance lout. The Ctidahy
Packing company was again the chief sup
porter of the market , buying July pork nnd
ribs and September lard. At the closn July
pork was 2ic ! higher at $ S.tfJ',4 , July lard
HHc. higher at JI.G7' , < . nnd July ribs 2"2o

NEW YORK , May C. There was considerable
stiength apiuirent In today's maiket , but It was
dun rathen to the combined effect of special In-
Huenccs on Indtvldua e.tocks than to any develop
ments in affairs' 'nltlctlng values generally In
the market. The narrowness of tlie market and
Itu professional character left It very susceptible
to such InlluenccK , and the fact that tlie Hhort
Interest bus been largely reduced was shown by
the small dimensions of the manipulative move
ments to offset the advances. It will be re
membered that prices were sold off to some ex-
lent yetterdny , on the Hupposlllon that llrltlsh
holders of Amerlcanleourltles would relied tie
public resentment heretofore manifested over the
rejection by the senate of tlie arbitration treaty
by offering them for sale. AB nothing of thv
kind occurred , the International slocks on the
conlrary showing rather exceptional Mrength , It
wa natural that there should ho some recovery
of yiutcnlny'H losses. Another favoring Inllu-
eno was lhat today waB the time eel by the
exchange hourrs for deilnltely deciding whether
they should make further gold rlilpments , and
the fact Hint none were projected wu accepted
as an encouraging feature of the general ltua-
lion. Many stock movements wer luigely due
ti > special Influences nnd their Influence on the
general lint WBH only sympathetic. The strengt i
ut Chicago Gns wan hucli an Influence , the deal
ings In that stock being Inigur than any other
on thu lift. It , together with U'culeni Union ,
Sugar , lliirllngton and St. Paul absorbed about
half Iho tola ! rales of the day. The pressure
on the ( lould shuies continued very seteie und
the. long continued wciiknwu of tliejo coupled
\\lth the ubHcneu of liifldc support cnuies Me
ulrculutlon of rumors of liquidation of heavy In-
lereslv. l.alcr Ihu prlcen of Hie group showeil
complete recovery on u reaeburlng statement
from nn authoritative fource. There was more
or lem rontrictlon manifested In the motemenl
of Sugar , which WUH uttrlbuted to a politic ) pur
pose In prevent a very manifest response In the
; > rlce to the announcement of the tariff bill.
