Considering the copious rnlnfall In tho
aouthwest mid the generiil tenor of thi"
crop in-ws, wheat opened surprising' firm,
July NHc to HHc hlplicr, at 71l,'fj71c,
The market seemed to iiave broken away
from Its contemplation of the weather map
and was In position to attach more Import,
unco to an advanco at Liverpool. Trade
was on a moderate scale, the. demand
coming moslly from shorts, nnrt during the
remainder of tho day prices were, well
above yesterday's level. Following the
opening, the firmness wns augmented by
moderate primary receipts, heavy seaboard
clearances, big local shipments and the.
expectation that the visible figures Monday
will show nn Imposing decrease. July
gradually worked up to .2Vsc. and although
selling was freer at this price. It clned
firm, ?c higher, nt "l'lft'l'c. May wheat
was In demand for the eastern account and
also scored an advance. The bull Interest
In corn was moderately active In tho wheat
pit, apparently buying for Investment.

In the corn pit Phillips and his party
were tho ruling factor A continuation by
Phillips of liquidation 'of May gave rlso
to reports th.it he was nearly, If not en
tirely, free of the enormous load of corn
which he hod bought to nut himself In
control of that delivery. Ills sales today
approximated l.sX,fiOO bu. anil the price
dropped from f4c to 50c and at the close
was 4c tinder yesterday nt 50e. Mean
while he was buying July corn on n heavy
rrale, thus checking a tendency to weaken
It duo to Improved crop prospects nnd lib
eral receipts. July sold between 154c nnd
4lc nnd closed a chade lower at 444c.
liecelpts were 3 111 cars, 82 of contract
trade.
Oats wero dull and easier, In sympathy
with corn, commission houses selling while
the demand wns scattered, Jul v sold be
tween 28c and 28o and closeil V8c lower,
nt 2so. Receipts wero 201 cars.
Provisions were quiet, but In the mnln
fireserw a firm tone In sympathy with

NEW YORK, May 17. R. 0. Dun & Co.'s
review of tho state of trade tomorrow will
say:
Crop reports continue in the main favor
nblo nnd ease In the money mnrkct lends
to encourage business enterprises which
looked aghast at the collapse of stock
speculation. The calmer tone In securities
Is welcomed In all directions. As against
tho favorable departments referred to there
Is but one adverse factor, nnd the Inbor
disturbances In several quarters aro not
considered likely to bo n long-continued
drawback and promise not to very gen
erally affect the trades Involved.
!ss urgency for enrly delivery of Iron
and steel products was reported nt manu
facturing centers. With mills assured of
activity beyond the middle of the ynr and
some uncertainty regarding tho Inbor or
ganizations' attitude on the wage schedulo
thero Is a disposition to let new ensngo
incuts wall ns long as possible. Unusunl ac
tivity Is seen In agricultural supplies and
some noteworthy shipments were reported
during the week, while makers of this
class of machinery purchased freely of bar
Iron. Structural shnpes are In such active
domestic demand that llttlo attention is
given to available foreign contracts.
Coke production Is still enormous, as Is
natural, with Iron furnaces operating nt the
greatest weekly capacity ever recorded,
Forwardlngs of boots and shoes from Bos
ton for the Inst two weeks reached the ex
ceptional total of 207,302 cases, or 48 per
cent more than in the corresponding weeks
of 19n0, nnd since January 1 shipments ex
ceeded last year's by 12,147 cases, while the
Increase over all previous years was much
more.
Roth wheat and corn continue to sell
at more than 10c a bu. above the price at
this date last year, nnd the fluctuations
In speculative options ure much wider.
Contracts In May corn hove been closed
at phenomenal prices, owing to clever
manipulation ut Chicago, nnd next crop op
tions arc sustained beyond the prices war
ranted by encouraging crop reports, Moro
foreign inquiry tot corn, Increnscd Atlantic
exports for the week to 2,458,681 bu., ugnlnst
only 1 211,241 In the previous week, but the
movement Is still far below the llgures of
a year ago. Wheat goes out In greater
volume than a year ago, but Hour ship
ments ore comparatively light.
Cotton failed to maintain tho small ad
vanco made at the close of last week,
liberal port receipts promptly restoring the
lowest quotation of the season. Yet there
is more encouragement thnn nt any time
recently In the sire of exports and pur
chases by domestic mills.
Failures for the week numbered 177 In
tho United States, against 177 last year,
nnd nineteen In Canada, against thirty Inst
year.

The basic facts underlying the situation
coiiiiiuiH inrgeiy 01 a ravnrablo character.
Notable In this resnect Is thn rnn aitn.i.
tlon, particularly for the cereals, which Is
In a high degree promlslnir. The hnekwnnl
spring nnd lack of rains In some sections
have militated against the growth of cotton,
but Improvement Is noted oven In this re
speet. The Industries are active. Iron nnd steel
are strong but nulet as regards new de
mand for the cruiler forms, but Mia tlnlsh.nl
products have been heavily ordered and the
mius nave sumcieni ojsiness to keep thorn
busy from one to three months, while a
largo additional business Is reported in
sight, Tim demand "of machinists Is ro-
garnen as u possimy disturbing fenture, but
It Is claimed that one.fourth of the men In.
volved have already succeeded In their oe.
mands and the feeling Is that this matter
will ne aajusiea wnn less than earlier ex
pected friction. The hardware trades are
reported exceptionally active and some
vnrletles of goods, notably barb wire, aie
scarce,
Forelcn trade continues largely to favor
this country nnd the demand for wheat to
replace possible smaller yields In Euro
pfan countries has swelled the volume of
export trade, which might otherwise have
lalleu off from April a year ago beca'iso of
smaller shipments of cotton and of manu
factured goods, Despite tho tnlk of rate
cjttlng and of expectations of n ymnller
movement of goods as the spring idvnnces
railway earnings continue excep'l mnlly
lavornuie, some great systems reporting
maximum weeklv earnings. Net letutiis
also uro of good volume and ehow tint
nusiness is being done hi 11 deeid-ii prom.
Piobably the best reports ns to new de
mnnd come from the leather and nllled
trades, while the pootest, as heretofore, are
received from the textile Industries. Prices
evince considerable uteadlness despite
slightly lower quotations for cotton, corn,
cheese and petroleum, but somn hog prod

cotton goods arc In fair re-order demand
from interior nml eastern Jobbers nnd retnll
business Is apparently proceeding at n good
rate. In first hands, however, business Is
decidedly dull. The print cloths situation
is unsatisfactory, owing to the brenkdown
of the "selling committee" plan of disposal
of the product. C'lrtiillment does nots'em
to navo accomplished Its purpose, nnd the
Fall River manufacturers are expected to

NEW YORK. Mnv 17. -The fever and
nervousness were practically all gone out
of the stock mnrkct today. There were
demonstrations of strength, which wna
somewhat intermittent nml umittv In the
enrly dealings, but which grew iitid brond-
rueii wnn him progress or tno day, and
closed with a buoyant outburst, which re
called tho days of the early period of tho
late boom. The strength In the market was
rincipnuy nased on general conditions,
Ut there wern besides nn iiimsiinllv lnre
number of stocks Influenced by Individual
causes. Ilroadly considered, tho general
feeling that prices were on a safer level
by reason of the Inflation let out of them,
while the huMnctH condition of the country
nnd the earning power of properties was
unimpaired, encouraged tho buying. The
Indications for tomorrow's bank statement
were of such n strong recuperation that
some ptessure to lend money seemed a
probability not fnr In the future.
Tho belief In the settlement of the North
ern Pacific controversy is felt to offer as
surance of n more effective neutralization
of tho whole western railroad territory
iiiuii mis ever oeioie neon Known, The
prominence of the stocks of railroads In
that region was due to this cause. There
was very definite renorts ntlnnt thnt the
dividend on Missouri Pacific at tho rate
01 11 per cent was nn enrly probability.
Tho bond market wns brond nnd prices
were well sustnlned. Total snlcs. par value,
$3,455,000. United Stntes 3s declined U per
cent on the last call,
Tho Commercial Advertiser's I,ondon
financial cnhleernm snvs: Tndnv's session
of the Stock exchange was without Incident,
wnn business too light even to estimate
tho tone of tho market. Eight nor cent Is
expected to be thn smallest on record, to
morrow being a holiday. American shares
were quiet, nut firm, with the llttlo busi
ness there as all buvlnir. New York no-
cepted London prices, and thero wns hardly
a rlpplo thereafter. Arbitrageurs went
homo early. 1 hn rate ror call monoy was

All through this week thn stock market

public has become tired out and lias little
appetite for speculation, nnd Wall street
has been adjusting losses and tho other
complications which resulted from the
severo and swift decline.
There Is buying of good stocks bv In
vestors on what have seemed to be favor

chases and even thn news which met the
street Wednesday that a substantial set
tlement of differences had been made be.

WESTERN FARMERS ORGANIZE
Kiirm Co-Oierntl vc (Srnln nnd Live
Stock Association to Fight
lluyern' Combine.
SALINA, Kan., May 17. (Special Tele
gram.) After their wrangle of yesterday
tho delegates to tho Western Grain Grow
ers' convention organized a co-operative so
ciety today, which Is practically a grain
commission company, with headquarters at
Topekn. It is capitalized at $20,000, with
shares at $10 each. Tho shares are sup
posed to be held by local shipping associa
tions composed of farmers throughout tho
state, hut Individuals may become members
If thoy desire. The association will handlo
the wheat of the local associations on a
commission of 1 cent per bushel, but it will
also attempt to correct short weight and
car and rate discriminations which aro now
complained of.
Members aro compelled to sell whent In
car lots through the association, but nre
privileged to sell through competing com
panies by paving a M cent per bushel Into
tho state association. This provision is to
keep tho Brain combine from breaking up
the farmers' association by paying more
than tho market justifies until the associa
tion is forced out of business. The H cent
per bushel will keep up the association
even It it handles no grain. Live stock and
other farm products will also be handled
About 100 delegates, nearly all of them rep
resenting locnl shipping associations organ
ized or in process of formation, subscribed
for stock.
Tho organization will be known as tho
Farmers' Co-operntlve Grain nnd Live Stock
association. Its directors are: J. A. Ruck
Un, Thomas county; A. P. Collins, Dickin
son; N. C. Hawkins, Coffee; C. W. Peck
ham, Reno; James Hutler, Shawnee; W. C.
McConnoll, Neosho; R. W. Smith, Ottawa:
C. E. Smith, Smith, nnd U. Mathcs, Mc
Phcrson. It is expected thnt local associa
tions will bo formed throughout tho state
and that the association will eventually
dispose of all grain direct to mills and to
exporters, thus shutting out speculative
operators.
M'KINLEY TO COME THIS WAY
Presidential Party Plnns to Itetnm
Enst by War of the Union
Pacific.
President McKlnley will pass through
Omaha on his way back to Washington from
San Francisco. He has decided that ho will
leave California on the Central Pacific and
that no unnecessary stops will be made.

Central Pacific to Ogdcn and over the Union
Pacific to Omaha. The trip from Omaha to
Chicago will probably be made by the
Northwestern. The Pennsylvania will haul
the special party from Chicago cast.
If Mrs. McKlnley recovers she will be In
such poor health that the extensive trip
planned by tho president cannot be taken.
On this account the president has an
nounced that no nttcmpt will be made to
visit any more cities.
Tho presidential party will remain In
Omaha only a short time and thoro will be
no demonstration In honor of the chief

CATTLE There wan a very light run of
cattle here today and, in fact, hardly
enough to Interest buyers. As a result the
market was not particularly active, though
good stuff sold at steady prices.
A good proportion of tho receipts wero
made up of beef steers, nnd the better
grades were picked up in good season at
Just nbout yesterday's prices. The less de
sirable grades, however, were rather ncB
lected and packers did not seom to care
whether they got them or not, The situa
tion could perhaps best be described by
culling It steady on good stuff nnd slow on
the common to medium kinds.
There were quite a few cows nnd heifers
on sale this morning In proportion to tho
total receipts, and there was no particular
change noticeable in the prices paid. It
being" the last end of the week buyers did
not seem to be quite ns anxious for sup
plies as they have been before this week,
but still sellers held for steady prices and
succeeded In most cases In getting what
they asked. Lightweight heifers, though,
were a little weak.
Tho bulls offered today sold In yesterday's
notches, and the same was true of the
calves and stags.
There were not enough stockers nnd feed
ers in tho ynrds today to make u test of
the market. The demand from the country
is so light thnt yard traders do not care
to have muny cattle on hand, and as a
result sellers find the common grades very
hard to dispose of. Representative sales;
