CHICAGO , May 11 Liquidation and short
( Jelling ( odny caused a general decline on
the IJoard of Trade. May wheat closed at
a low of 15c , July 4c and September 21-Sc.
Provisions followed wheat with decline * of
4Jc In July pork and 15c pur 100 Iba. In lard
nnd rlbii. yelling was by packer * and longs
generally. Corn and oats suffered u loss
of 5-8c euch on liquidation.
Wheat opened weak at from lft3Ue lower
for July than it cloned yesterday , opening
trades In that delivery being over u range
of from (1.05 to { 1.004. May opened weak
at { 1.50 , a decline of 15c over night. Sep
tember dropped from } 4flc a bu. nt the
hturt first traniactlons being from SS'.ifp '
SS'/ic. Before from the
/ any recovery openIng -
Ing bu.irlHlmess was perceivable July sold
'down to $1.0IH nnd September to KS7-8c.
, Thc Liverpool market was remarkably
steady , showing only about Id loss at the
Btarl , In the face of ycsterday'B brenk In
this market. Argentine shipments ! of only
fcZI.OO ) bu. , against 1,392.001) bu. the week be
fore , was considered u bull rnrd. but fulled
of effect , owing to heavy domestic receipts.
, Thc latter aggregated 131,000 bu. . compared
With 3 nCTO bu. the year before. Chicago
received 213 curs , against seven a year ago.
2tllnnenrolls and Duliith reported 315 cart ) ,
compared with 310 last year. Seaboard
clearances footed up 316,000 bu. wheat and
Hour. Shorts were extremely nervous. 1'lt
trading was small , and although profes
sionals ventured modest "llyers" on the
flhorl side , they ran to cover on the slight
est sign of returning strength In the m.ir-
kct. July , after touching $1.01 % , rallied
BpaHtnodlcally to $1.07 , but slid off easily
again when the demand from shorts failed.
Closing cables showed Increased bull weari
ness abroad , with declines of 2'Mj3',4d nt
Liverpool , 1V4Q2HC at i'nrlii and l < ic at
Antwerp. Ileports of harvesting from
Texas and a probable early cut further
tnorth , reassured short scllem. July dropped
HslleMtly to $1.04. closing nt tl.OUi bid , a
net loss of 4c. May , which started at $1.50.
rallied to $1.D5 , on Lelter support , but eased
ofl near the end to $1.43 , and closed at $1.50
nellerH a net loss of 15c. Exporters ro-
Iiorted no pales. September Htarted ? Mjlc

ing 2 1-Sc net lower nt 88 1-Ec sellers.
Corn was for sale In largo chunks from
Btarl to finish. Concessions were made at
the opening of He. A slight rally followed ,
but renewed liquidation forced the price oft
again. Foreigners were reported as re-
Hellers of corn for forward shipment. The
Liverpool market was weakened by freer
oflerlngs of corn from Argentine. The de
cline nt Liverpool was Hd for spot nnd from
jygi3-Sd for futures. Reports from the
country were numerous to the effect that
replanting had to bu resorted to exten
sively on account of seed having rotted In
the ground. I ocal receipts were 04t ! cars.
Atlantic port clearances were 829,000 bu.
Argentine exports for the week were 312,000
1m. , ngalnst 160,000 bu. the week before.
The opening business In July was at from
85 1-Sc down to 36c , as ngalnst 36o sellers
nt the cloi < e yesterday. Considerable was
wanted at the reduction , and the July price
rallied to MVi36 3-8c , but on the continu
ance of sales of long corn it dropped to
3 > ? i5J 33 7-8c and closed at 357-8c sellers , a
net loss of 5-8c.
Only a moderate business was transacted
In the oats market. An easier feeling pre
vailed with May longs anxious to sell. The
favorable weather was responsible for the
easiness of the more distant futures. From
the seaboard 196,000 bu. were cleared. Re
ceipts hero were 2G9 cars. May closed with
a total loss of 1'ic. July started nt 27fi
27 < 4c , sold nt 2718c , and declined to 206-Sc
ut the close , a net loss of 5-8c.
The disposition of provision traders waste
to take profits on strong spots In the mar
ket. The lowest prices were prevailing nt
the * close. The opening was weak nt nboul
J020c decline In pork , 2V4tCc } in lard and
from 517Hc In July ribs. That was suc
ceeded by a considerable upward reaction
But the upturn wan met by heavy selllnp
on the part of packers , and prices qulcklj
receded , closing at the lowest point of the
Hay. Outside trade was considerably llghtci
than yesterday and profit taking was gen-
cial. Total hog receipts at western points
were C3.000 head. Lard nt Liverpool was
quoted Cd higher nnd bacon 1Q23 over yes
terday , but even this failed to sustain price ;
Jiere. July pork ranged $11.65812.17 , closln ?
45c net lower at $11,65 ; July lard , fG.40ffC.70
closing 15c net lower at $4.50 ; July ribs $6.1 (
to $6.3906.32 , closing 15c net I6wer at-$6.12.

Srnantlonnl Rumor * Concprnlnv thf
HpntiUU Fleet Darrens Price * .
NEW YORK. May 13. Today's" stock
market continued In much the sarao unset
tled state as was the case yesterday. Earlj
depression was reflected front London
where the professionals were , selling Ajpe'r-
lean stocks on a rumor that the Spanish
fleet was off Sandy Hook. The- improbable
character of this report gives an explana
tion to a decline which was obviously due
to bear pressure. Apparently there was r
disposition on the part of the leaders of tin
bull element to stand by and see a test ol
the market's strength. The recent larg <
and sustained advance , It was thought , hat
Invited large buying on light margins bj
the purely speculative element. This clasi
of holdings Is a weakness for a bull move
uctlons of Huttlclent dimension to force the
liquidation of such accounts 'are therefore
considered healthful In any bull movement
The day's market did not indicate that the
volume of such accounts was very large
In spite of n vigorous drive by the bears
apparently acquiesced In by the bulls
which resulted at one time In declines run
ning .from 1 to 3 points , there was no VTJ
large volume of stock dislodged and 'the
bears hastened to cover. Some large finan
cial Interests are credited ' -with havlnf
taken profits on the , recent rlse > and wltt
being willing to see a reactlonfoc the pur
pose of getting a gain. Commission housi
buying In the tarty dealings was large am
was quite effective In offsetting the largi
selling for long account. But offerings wen
no more than absorbed without carryItu
prices above yesterday's level. After th <
market had thus been tested business fcl
Into dullness and assumed a waiting attl
tude. Confidence that the Spanish fleet hai
been finally located off Martinique and tha
an engagement with the United Statei
forces was Imminent also begot a dlspost
tlon to await 'the result of that engage
ment. As a consequence net changes 01
the day arc extremely narrow and are foi
the most part losses. Metropolitan Stree
Railway and Manhattan developed lati
strength , which was attributed to thi
course of negotiations with the rapli
transit commission. The course of thi
money market demonstrates effectual ! ;
that all apprehension bt stringency frdn
the requirements of the government nr
past. Rates for time money on' call w'a
3fi3t per cent for periods up to six months
This movement Is said to be' due "to a re
nttwal of acumulatlons nf exchange fron
Investment due to the higher money rate
prevailing abroad. The bond market wa
quiet outside a few speculative Issues an
ft.v . the tone was rather heavy. Total sales

CATTLE Receipts of cattle were larger
han yesterday , but still It Was a very
moderate run and not sufficiently luree to
stay the upward movement of prices which
i > et In on Thursday. Sellers to some ex
tent had things their own way and with the
aid of a very good buying demand were
able to secure an advance of 5010c.
The advance was the most marked on
the low nnd medium priced beef cattle ,
which were In especially good demand.
Offerings of all kinds met with ready
takers and supplies were soon exhausted ,
everything being sold and weighed up nt
nn early hour. It would be wafe to say
that fat cattle were at the very least 10 ®
15c higher than on Wednesday and back
about where they were on Monday. In
other words , the decline of the early part
of the week has been practically all made
up during the two days past.
Cows und heifers were In active demand ,
but very light supply , and as n result
commanded very firm prices. The few on
sale Hold-varly ami-buyers complained that
there were noi enough to go the rounds.
Infact that hnsbeen'the complaint for
some time. Either the cows are not In
the country , as some say , or else they are
being held back , as very few are coming
forward , and tnero Is seldom a day when
the supply Is fully up to the demand.
Stock cattle were also a very scarce
article and such as were to be had com
manded very satisfactory prices. Repre
sentative sales :
The total receipts of cattle , hogs and
sheep today numbered 172 cars , as ngalnst
139 yesterday. 261 n week ago nnd 209 two
weeks ago. It was rather a small run for
this time of the week , In fact the smallest
received on n Friday since the first week
In April. The falling off was In cattle
principally , there being a good run of hogs.
The markets as n whole were exceptionally
favorable to the selling Interests , prac
tically everything being higher and In ac
tive demand at the advanced prices.

HOGS Today's hog market opened un
evenly higher at an average advance o
10ifl5c. As was the * case yesterday , th
market was very uneven nnd hogs of th
same kind and quality sold nt all kinds o
prices. It was just as n seller could catcl
on he might get $4.40 for a load and thei
find It hard work to Bet $4.35 for anothe
just like It.
The most of the hoes sold at $4.3034.4 !
with $4.35 a popular price. The buyers evl
dently wanted the hogs and the marke
was active at the advance , but they dl
not want them quite so badly at the las
as they did earlier and the close was i
little easier. Everything was sold In gooi
season and the trade came to a close at ai
early hour for the want of more stuff t <
sell. >
sell.Today's advance carries the hog marke
to the highest point touched since Septem
ber 3 , 1S-95 , when the average of all the sale
was the same as today. Thursday of thl
week was the first day since Suptembei
H97 , that the average price touched Jl an
there were very few days last year whe
even $4 was reached.
The hogs sold today 70c higher than on
year ago , $1.15 higher than two years ag
nnd only lOc lower than three years agi
In other word * , hogs sold today at the high
est point touched In the month of May sine
i 1S95. Representative sales :

DENVER , Colo. , May 13. William 1'cnn
Anderson , special agent of the Union Stock
Yards and Transit company of Chicago , has
reported to the recording secretary of the
National Live Stock association that Gov
ernor Holcomb of Nebraska has decided to
send a man to Inspect train loads of Cali
fornia cattle billed to nnd through Ne
braska from Denver until complete arrange
ments can be perfected to avoid the en
tanglements arising from one state mak
ing a quarantine ground of another. Dy
concentrating the whole force of Inspection
at points of origin absolute safety Is se
cured , thus removing by clean ork the
suspicion of possible contagion. Mr. An
derson says Sacramento , Cal. , seems to bo
the most strategic point for the purpose.
Such on arrangement will privilege the
owner to both railway and market compe
tition as well as avoid the probability tt
detention which might bo caused either by
accident or unforaecn division ot ship
ment.
