CHICAGO, May li.-An. uncotftlrmed re Port that Germany had seised an exten sive bay on the coast pf China was one reason for a strong wheat market here today.

The atrenarth of the foreign grolii market was flae laravlv to a reijort which was subsequently more or less -discredited tnat uermaoy . had begun territorial ag gression against China. Kear of fresh com plications In the war situation, active cov ering by shorts and additional rains In many srotlona of the I'nlted States caused Increased anxiety among' those who were on the short side of the market and led to a stilt more urgent demand. The tone became more bullish as trade progressed, an advance of nearly Bo at Minneapolis being a prominent factor. 'Another In fluence, was the weather bureau's weekly report, which declared that soring sown wheat rn North Dakota had been damaged by fro. For Julv the highest point of the day was reached at W,c Late In the session the market lost much of the es strenaih. The reaction was the result of selling hv a nromlnent long. The close hnvovnr was Arm. with Julv at 87VC. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 66.100 bushels. The world's visible sup Plv. as shown by Bradstreet's. decreased 2.250 bushela. TYImary receipts were 153 K bushels, comoared with 166. 6"0 a year ago. Minneapolis. Puluth and Chicago re ported receipts of 86 rare, against .6 cars last week and 2 cars a year ago. Interest of traders In the corn pit cen-tn-- in h Mk nntlon. which manifested everv evmptom of an attempt to "corner that' commodity.

A decrease of 3,2R9.OO0 bushels In the world s visible supply, com pared with a decrease last year of 1.442.0W bushels, wss one of the main bullish In fluences.

My l.-Some considerable declines were ertevted In price ot stoias in the course of an Hour's (mm liens Ritt-r the opening today ann a cnei.1114 upward movement followed lor nnl 01 the oay. A laige proportion of tne day's total irnns actionn was done during tne hrsl hour and after that thiTe was little 11101 e than nom inal, borne Items of Infcn-mailoQ in tne day s news offered a nominal cause for si t back In prlcee, but tne msraet is best ex plained by the discouragement 01 tlie pro iesslonal element over the utter jack of success In attracting any outside Interest. While the great case of money ana tho abundance ot lund.s apparently available rather diverts opinion from attnouiing money market affairs as the reason lor the present neglected stuck market, it is open to question whether a desire to con serve the money marKet has nut more or leas to do with the attitude of passive dis couragement of speculation which has been adopted by the banking and financial world. Some very heavy operations are proceeding In the money marKet and there lias been a large shifting ot loan accuunts in consequence In the last two days. The taking up of nearly $15..0iji of gov ernment deposits from the national hanks Is being carried through and it Is surmised that provision Is being made for the calling oi 60 per cent of ine underwriting sub scriptions to the Jlii.(i,0oo Pennsylvania convertible bond issue. Next week, on May Jt subscriptions to the amount of nearly I60,km.uiio to the Japanese loan Issue are payable in New York. The money market, in spite of these enormous trans actions and the preparation for them. Is absolutely unruffled and is In fact working easier. The April foreign trade statement, showing an excess In value of exports well above that for the April of the preceding year, gives assurance of the resources of the exchange market, on which special de mands sre now made In preparation for remittances on the Japanese loan Of the more Immediate Influences In today's mar ket the foreign political disturbance was most conspicuous. This was due to the reported seizure bv Oermanv of a Chinese port, and the efflclal denial from Berlin only partly relieved speculative markets from this effect. Our grain markets were more affected than stoi ks. A two-fold In fluence In both markets also was the weather news from the crop regions. Ex cessive rains were reported In the south west and the reports of damage to winter wheat by rust Indicated by the weather bureau's weekly crop summary was ex tended by the weather news of today. Spring wheat and corn planting were also said to be delayed. But the amount of stock brought on the market by these factors was exceedingly small. The easv yielding of prices, however, under the light offerings, discouraged the professional at tempts to get the market up. The mark ing up of St. Paul late In the day was at tributed to a trader's movement designed for effect on the general list, but the clos ing was heavy for the smallest day's busi ness or tne yesr. Bonds were dull and heavy: total sales. par value. I2.2o5.00n. United States bonds were all unchanged on call.

As a result of this liberal run and none too favorable reports from Chicago the market eased off a trifle, but all things considered, the market held up in fairly good shape. The big end of the receipts consisted of beef steers, so that buyers took their time to look around, and it was a little late before much business was transacted. The rreneral market was right around a dime ower. In some cases something that Just happened to strike the fancy of buyer was not off quite that much, but on the other hand undesirable grade in extreme cases were a trifle more than a dime lower. In the major! tv of rases, though, 10e would cover the loss. Owing to the liberal run and to the fact that the market was slow In getting started, the day was well ad vaiced before a clesrance was msde. The proportion of cow stuff to the total receipts was rather small today and as all the buvers seemed to be anxious for fresh supplies, prices did not suffer as much as In the case of steers. The market could probablv best be described bv calling It stead v 'to a dime lower. The market seemed to be very uneven on all kinds, the decline in some cases being most notice able on the more desirable grades; In n.hora tr m-n the common cattle that suf fered.
