Damage reports from many sctiona of the winter wheat be:t constituted one of the most vital reasons for u. strong wheat market here today. Possible spread of war complications and a decrease of over 2.').i bushels In the visible supply hrlped along the advance. At the close July wheat was tip 'e, corn is up Vt-Hc, oats and provlsiona are prac tically unchanged. The wheat market was slrnna from start to llnlsh. At the opening July was up Vl kc at s3VaX3i4C Hhorts were active bld- di rs, but offerings were light The main influence at first was fear that France and England might become Involved in the It'isso-Japanese war. Other bullish factors of much more definite and potent charac ter developed as the session advanced. An advance of 9c a bushel In the wheat at Kuda Test during the past few days said to be due to a drouth in the Dan ublan Provinces has furnished additional Incentive throughout the sesalnn, but the demand far exceeded the supply. In con sequence prices steadilv advanced. The climax to the bullish situation was rapped oy a statement of the available stocks ol wheat in the T'nlteA States. The statement showed a decrease of 2.192.000 bushela in the visible surnlv. The highest point of the day for July was reached at 84Hic.

May 8 Measured by the effects In the New York stock market the tension between Great Krltain and France over the preservation of neutrality In the far east must be acute. Measured ny any other visible Index there doe not seem to be serious apprehension of any rupture between those two powers. It Is true that the selling of stocks In New York which carried the prices downward was mostly for foreign account, but the volume or It was not Impressive and the ready effect on prices must be attributed In large part to tne continued oount leu towaros me market by operators of any considerable power of Influence. Teclinea In the gov ernment securities most Immediately af fected by the foreign policy were moder ate, and the movements In foreign securi ties market was more restrained than !n New York. Paris wss reported to be a considerable seller of securities In l,nn don. Discounts hsrdened In London and sterling exchange was notably strong here, nut sterling exchange was also strong at Paris, and the price of gold was reduced In London. As a net result the Interna tional exchanges can scarcely have moved nearer to the point calling for exports of frold from New York. The money market ier Was entirely unaffected and was in fact rather easier In response to the strong bank statement of Saturday. The 'wheat market made some response to the for eign political situation, but close atten tlon was unable to detect any actual tor- elan demand here as a result of the In eiplent war scare. Nevertheleaa prices of stock broke in a decidedly weak manner. a number of Instances showing lower quo tntlons than at the extreme low level of last week. The Pacifies, Southwestern and Southern were moat affected amongst the railroads and the Iron and steel stocks were conspicuous amongst the Industrials. The selling, although moderate, was very w-ell dlatrlbuted. and no part of the list escaped entirelv the prevailing weakness The result seem conclusive of the failure of the considerable reduction In prices, which has alrcadv taken place to attract any effective demand. Some sympathetic effect must be allowed to the extreme weakness of the gas stocks. People's Gas suffered directly from state legislation, putting a rate making power into the hands of the Chicago cltv government. The close svmnathv manifested bv Consoll dated Gas wa explained bv the analogy In the situation of the two companies. It I not Improbable too that consideration of the coming struggle over the question of federal control of railroad rate may have been stimulated by the Incidents of the gas stocks. The market wa narrow and obviously largely In professional hands as was Indicated by the light volume of the transactions both on the decline and on the rallv. When the operations for for elgn account had been concluded for the day the supply of stocks proved scanty for tho needs of the shorts. The feature of the weeklv traffic statements by rail road officials was the stress laid upon the Chicago strike as the factor almost sole ly responsible for such falling off as was shown In the amount of business done by the railroads. The Indifference of the de mand again showed Itself at the recovered level of prices, and they were but poorly nem so that tne closing was tiareiy sieaoy Honda were rregular. Total sales, par value. 11.980.000. fnlted States bonds were all unchanged on call. The following were the quotations on the New York stock exenange: Sales. High. Low. Close account.

Packers were still rather liidlrTercm and as a resfiit trading was slow and the day well advanced before a clearance was made. The market on beef steers could best lie described by culling It weak to a dime lower. In some cases something that Jimt happened to suit buyers may have sold at right around steady prices with last week a close, but as a general thing both the good and common to medium grades had to sell a trifle lower than they did last week. Salesmen all wanted (steady prices and censequently trading waa very slow, but as packers did not seem to care wnetner tn.-y got many cattle or not it was Impossible to hold the market steady. As high as $6.00 waa paid for sonio pretty good eattle. There were not many cows and heifers Included In the offerings, and as all the packers seemed to want a few. the market held Just about steady, with trading fairly active. The more desirable grades In par ticular sold freely, but still even the corn, mnn and medium grades changed hands without much trouble and an early clear ance was made. Bulls, veal calves and stags showed no quotable change from last week's ruling prices. The prnportlon of stockers and feeders to the total receipts waa small, and as speculators carried over but few cattle from last week, they were all flnxioua fur supplies this morning. The market could he quoted active and fully steady. Representative sales: BEEF STEERS.
