Another bullish government report Is ex
pected to be out next Tuesday. . Snow s
report for the week Is bullish ana taken
with the statistics of Jones and others has
caused a generally bullish professional
peculative sentiment Wheat advanced
more than a cent. Bnow finds a heavy de
cline In condition of winter wheat east of
Uis Mississippi and north of the Ohio rivers.
The Missouri valley has just maintained
1U condition with the exception of Okla
homa, where the early drought damage Is
becoming revealed. The falling off Is not
due to any disaster during April, but to a
tetter understanding of the condition now
that growing weather haa been reached.
The general average Is reported as 74.6, as
against 80.1 for last month, this being the
lowest general average since ltad. ily stales
the averages are: Ohio, 67; Indiana, 62;
Michigan, tu; Illinois, 77; Missouri, Kansas
and Nebraska, HI; Oklahoma, 66; California,

fone off in the month, 12; Michigan, 2o;

Kansas and Nebraska have gained L
The Modern Miller Is out with a state
ment very much the same as Bnow'e re
port. The Ohio report says there Is hardly
; a fair prospect now, even with
the best of weather. Five per cent of
wheat has been plowed up ana planted In
corn and ate. Not more than one-half
a full average wheat crop oan be ex
pected. Oats, compared with I9u3. re 101.
AH of the Minneapolis mills shut down
Thursday night and the flour situation
Is considered as bad as poeslble. Last
year wheat was 7 cents against 90 this
ear, and the mills were then running
lull time to a big demand. They were
hipping heavily to Australia, while that
country is Itself shipping this year. Flour
tneo seem to have overloaded on the war
care. Minnesota seeding la finished ex

CHICAOO, May . The Ohio crop report
was perhaps the chief factor in causing a
trong wheat market today. At the close
the price of July wheat showed a gain of
a$lo. Corn la down So, oats are oft
Va-tfo and provisions from 6o to 22Vc. '
Under a superabundance of adverse news
the market continued to gain 1:2 strength
until late In the session. During the last
half hour realising sales checked the ad
vancing tendency, but the market closed
trong. After selling up to 86c July closed
at k(i(iHo. Clearanoea of wheat and
flour were equal to 161,000 bu. Exports of
wheat and Hour for the week, according to
Bradstreel's, were equal to 1,921,000 bu.
primary receipts were 142,000 bu., com.
f ared with 2o8,ou0 a year ago. Minneapolis,
uluth and Chicago reported receipts of
4 cars, against 80 last week and 116 a year
ago.
Corn ruled strong. The market closed
near the low point. July opened a shade
to o higher at 4T34No, sold between
4Siio and 4STo and cloaed at 4ftc.
Local receipts were 211 cars, with 22 of

Uti'o higher at $9Vc, July ranged between
2?c and Jt'-o, and closed at 3ha. Local
receipts were 88 oars.
Heavy selling by packers and outside In
terests caused weakness In provisions. The
market was firm early, in sympathy with
higher prices for hogs at the yards and on
strong grain markets, but sentiment soon
changed, the market becoming weak on
poor support. At the close July pork waa
down tto at I1L87H. July lard closed 7H1
lower at $6.62. Alba were off Wno at

NEW YORK, May 6. There was no sign,
of actual life in tne stock market today
and the feeble dritt of prices never got
far from last night's level, or for tnai
matter irom last week's level. Tnere was
some heaviness early, but the level ot
prices came up later in the day. This is
in accoraance with the Intermittent symp
toms of the present market declines of
one day being merely the counteructiun of
a day betore. Yefeterday the excessive
dullness was explained as being due to the
departure of many brokers tu a popuiai
raclng event, but today's dealings were no
larger with suon explanation to offer. Tne
early heaviness was In eyinpatny with lh
ai.xrp decline In Metropolitan street rail
way. Ihe weakness of this stock hag been
a disturbing element for some time, but
today's selling seemed based on slate rail
road statistics published yesterday, show
ing the passenger traffic of the Metro
politan company practically stationary for
the last year. The deduction was urawn
that the system had readied the practical
limit of Its earning capacity.
The heavy gold outgo, the day's engage
ments reaching $4,600,000, caused some at
tention to be given to the bank statement
prospects. The figures of subtreasury ope
rations show loewea by the banks on that
account, including the cuhl movement of
83,300,000, while the receipts on balance of
eurrenoy from the Interior would cut this
down materially. But the subtreasury fig-
urea 00 not include too ay s large engage
ment of gold. The statement of Secretary
Bhaw regarding the Panama canal pay
ment was Interpreted to mean that 225.UO0.-
000 remained to be provided, which tomor
rows sold shipment ot 4.500.ouu would co,
of course, to reduce. Outside a few of the
stocks in the clans known as gpecialtles
there was no movement worth nutlce and
the day's trivial change were mostly
gains. United States Steel second was
heavy. Total salo of bonds, par value,
$2.ons,000. United Stales bonds were un
changed on call. ,

CATTLE There was a very Urht run of
cattle here this morning even lor a Fri
day, but there were evidently enough te
meet the immediate requirements of the
trade. The market was rather blow f vm
start to fnlsh, but there was not much
change ftom yesterday lu the prices pild.
There were only a i'ow cars of corn fed
steers Included In the offerings anil per
haps that explained 111 part the lndlfferenco
of buyers. They did not take hold wltn
much life, but as a general thing every
thing brought Just about steady priced. As
compared with a week ago tl.e market
Is unevenly lower. Anything dtslrable is
probably not over a dime lower, but some
of the plain hravy cattle and undesirable
grades of all weights may have suffered
a little more than that In extreme cases.
A dime, though, would e-bout coer the de
cline on tho good to choice grades.
The cow market waa also steady today
and although there was not much activity
the liuht receipts soon brought tho market
to a crose. For the week the fcood light
weight cows and heifers are not a great
deal different, but heavy cows are fully a
oime lower and common cows, such as din
ners and he less desirable grades of cut
ters, may be off even more than that.
Puckers are beginning to be afraid of part
fnt cows owing to the near approach of the
ceason when grass cows will put In an ap
pearance. Bulls have held fully steady nil tho week,
but veal calves are fully 50c lower. It takes
something fancy to bring over $5.
The same te usual on a Friday there were
only a tew stnekers and feeders and not
many were wanted. The better grades of
feeders are about steady for the week, but
the commoner kinds are dull and a little
lower. Representative sales:

HOGS There was not an excessive run of
hogs in sight this morning and the market
here opened 2Wt'6c higher. The bulk of the
eurly sales went from $4.66 to $4.70 and as
high aa $4.76 was paid for a choice load.
Trading was fairly active, but not all of
the puckers were buying, and after those
that did take hold had filled their more
urgent orders the market came to a stand
still. Packers wanted to buy the remaining
hogs at not more than steady prices with
yesterday, and as salesmen would not cut
loose at those figures it was some time be
fore much more business was transacted.
They finally had to sell out, though, at
prices ranging from $4.6U to $4 65, or about
steady with yesterday, practically all of the
early advance having been lost. At noon
everything was out of first hands. Repre
sentative sales:

SI 1EK1 There were hardly enough sheep
and lambs here this morning to make a test
of the market, but it could be quoted nbotit
steady with yesterday. Some clipped weth
ers sold as hltih as $5.10. but they f-uve hen
brlnxlng as high as $5.36 and 1.V3V Some
Colorado wimled lambs sold for 6.6.'i. whi-'h
Is probably not a great deal less than tiey
would have hrouirht early In the week. The
market la nnrli-nihr edlv rloht around a nuar-
tor lower than It was a week ago, with th
exception of the very choicest grades or
lnnibs, such as those mentioned above, and
possibly some of the bwt sheep may not be
over 15c lower, but as a general thing price-4
show a loss of right around a quarter. Re
ceipts have been so light for the Inst few
days that It has been rather difficult M
form much of an idea of the true situation.

week by the American Woolen compimy
the wool market has been very dull. There
have bten no new buyers here and uniy
small lots changed hands. The outlook
Is considered dubious, aa advloes from
manufacturers is dlsooiiraging and more
machinery has been shut down this week.
Prices or wool are more or less nominal
In the absence of Important sales and gen
erally small stocks. In the west new stocks
are moving freely at full 1 rices, the lend
in the scoured cost of Utah and Wyoming
wools being variously estimated at 4rf(tVJu.
Foreign markets are Arm. London auction

prices on medium and low cross bretis and
