To all appearances, the famous deal In May wheat is now Resolutely a thing of the past. In fluenced by a substantial decrease In the world s avsllable storks, the market clnsed firm With Jlllv 1111 U.lH'.r Th. 1av nt,t,,n closed precisely at yesterday final quota tions. Corn Is up He (ists show a gain of Sfie. Provisions are up MiTUc. An altogether different feeling from that recently In evidence existed In the wheat pit today. The opinion was generally ex pressed that the line of Mar wheat .had been entirely llnnlriaterl with u m aennueiy settled. attention of trader I II .-. I.. I.. Tl . . - .......v. ... tfuij. niimfirn or a oorctem- plated deal In that option under the guid ance of Influential bulla gave considerable confidence to shorts, who covered freelv. Notwithstanding favumHin ..ih.r tv, development of the winter wheat crop, sen- .......... uuiiiiH me greater part or tne ;lay was quite bullish. At the opening July was a shad to Hfitc higher at MViWc May was HfiiV higher at SSSMHc There was little nervousness after the opening. ana a trade In the May option was made at 9oc, with other trades at the same mo ment at 93i,fi94c. From these figures there was a gradual decline under scattered of fering by northwestern houses and a little eieventn noitr Itml datlnn hv amttll ra.ti.ra One of the big longs also was credited with iiiMirate sales. i ne selling pressure was sufficient to force the price of May to S3c toward the end of the first hogr.

Another bullish fart or vu o renort from Baltimore that the flrat contract for snipment of the new wheat to Kurope had been made there today. On the theory mm iiiture Deliveries nan been generaiiv oversold during the smash In Mar prices, the demand for the more distant options was active during the last half of the ses sion. The market responded to the Im proved demand. July advancing to Kc. The close was strong with July selling at ine nignest point. May closed at 9c. Clearances of wheat and flour were enoal to rl.jiwi nustle a. Prima rv reeelnfs were 39.900 bushels compared with 2o4.Kl hush els a year nan. Mlnneannlla. Iiuluth and Chicago reported receipts of 314 cars against m cars last week ana to care a year ago. Liquidation of the May delivery was the feature of early trading In the corn mar ket. The selllns: was aulte evenlv dis tributed without particular regard to any imiiviauat option, ijiier an innnentiai ne mand developed and the market became strong. Closing prices were at the highest point of the day. An Increase of 88,ni'iO bushels In the world's visible supply was one of the bullish Influences. Kstlmated small receipts for tomorrow formed an other strengthening factor. July opened uncnangea to 'c lower at 4fi"k'g 4h.c. soia between 4fi4ift47c and closed at the top. Local receipts were 183 cars with 24 of con tract graae. Influenced by early weakness of the corn market, the oats market showed some de- fresslon during the first hour, but later he market rallied sharply on an attempt by early sellers to reinstate lines. A de crease of 558.000 bushels In the world's visi ble supply was the main bullish Influence. July opened a shade lower at 29ic, sold between 28!t&29c and 29c and closed at 29Hc. Iyocai receipts were 171 cars. Provisions were weak at the start on Sroflt taking In pork, brought out by a 10c ecllne In the price of live hogs.

It was 10 be expveUd ulso that the stocks' which had led the decline should tie especially affected by the demand from uncovered shorts, which constituted the principal factor in the recovery. Colon Pa cific, St. Paul and New York Central were the principal examples In the railroad list. In the Industrial list an aggressive tone was taken on the recovery In some of the stocks which have offered comparatively good resistance to the decline, notably In the metal group. There was a very dis tinct falling off in Interest in the market, however, and traces of nervousness and feverishness were still very perceptible. This was especially the case early In the day before the relaxation of the selling pressure from outside sources was clearly perceived. Iontlon resumed operations Hfter a four-day Interval of Idleness and took our securities with such freedom as to make a material aid In supporting the market. A number of the international stocks went between 1 and 2 points higher during the first hour. Besides the practical effect of this buying of other stocks tho tone In the London market dissipated any remaining fears ot a critical state of Eu ropean policies. The weight of tho selling brought out by this opening bulge in prices had a, decidedly chilling effort on sentiment and a halting movement followed. An anxious eye was kept on developments growing out of the Milwaukee banking scandal and there were some fears that still further losses would be Involved. More Importance was at tached to the possible ffeot of the episode In shaking the existing state of confidence in the outstanding credits, which is of Im portanoe to the present prosperous condi tlons of the country. The day's events served to quiet apprehension to some ex tent reitardlna the Milwaukee incident The quieter t'ino of the wheat market was also an effective influence In turning the stock market With the downward ten dency arrested and the upward turn estab llshed less was heard of yesterday's rumors of hostilities In the railroad world, which pointed to a decree of bitterness that had prompted a contest for control of Union Pacific Itself. A notable feature of the market on the recovery was the lessened volume or no tlvlty. the total transactions for the day fa ling cons derablv below those of vester day. The speculation during the afternoon began to anticipate the action of the meet ing of directors of the United States Steel corporation, which was to assemble later In the day and give out a statement of earnings for the onarter. Exoectatlon was high that this wohld prove remarkable and record figures were talked of In the course of the late buying of the United States Steel stock. Other metal stocks shared fully and even exceeded the strength of the Iron and steel Issues, In spite of the weak ness of the market for crude copper. The advance in prices did not become general ror some f me and was Interrupted hv a number nf reactions before It was estab lished and carried to the strong closing Call loans were easier, but sterling ex change was firm, in spite of the buying or stocks here ror Ixmnnn account.

Total CATTLE There was nf caOU here Indnv. many aa arrived a week ago tooay. nup plies at other points were not excessive, but In spite of that fact packers were In clined to be bearish here and as a result the market was slow. The cattle did not appear In good form, owing to a heavy rainstorm, and that, of course, helped pack ers m their bearish tactics. Beef Bluer buyers in particular wert bearish this morning. They were a little Blow In getting started and their early bids were fully a dime lower. In the case of something that Just suited them they did not take oft quite that much, but the general run of cattle were right around a Sime lower. Salesmen were unwilling to Sell at the prices offered, ho that it was late in the uay before much business was transacted. There did not seem to be more cows on gale than buvers wanted and consequently trading was fairly active, with prices about steady with yesterday. It was noticeable, however, that the demand was confined largely to the better grades, so that the commoner kinds were not very active, but still they sold In Just about the same notches they did yesterday. Most everything was disposed of In fairly good season. , ,, Bull, veal calves and stags were all a little slow, with the feeling weak. The demand for stockers and feeders was In fairly good shape this morning, and as supplies were not at all excessive the mar ket ruled quite active on desirable grades, with prices Just about steady. The com moner kinds were, of course, more or less neglected, the same as usual, but still even those sold at aa good prleea aa were paid yesterday.
