A lack of any definite damage reports Inspired con siderable confidence In shorts, who sold OUlte freely, with the result that the mar ket was decidedly nervous durlnir the llrxt two hours. After selling at Vn!i4c, July declined to 8Sao. Sentiment, however, graa- iially became more consistently bullish as fresh reports of damage to the spring wheat crop were received. Sharp advances at Minneapolis and Itiiluth gave emphasis to thn crop damage advices. While news from the southwest was conflicting, the prepond erance of reports still claimed considerable damage In that section. The sensational bulge In May corn contributed materially to late strength In wheat. A few minutes ncrore the close July wheat touched tle highest point of the session, sales being made at 9o"i!1i't,c. The market closed practically at the ton. final quotations on July being at 9(V 90o. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 33.700 bu. Prlmarv receipts were 239. 4o0 bu , compared with 196.100 bu. a year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago renorted receinis or 158 enrs, against 9H cars last week and 1-8 cars a year ago. A sensational jiimD of O'ic In the price of May corn furnished fresh evidence of the congested condition of the market for that delivery. The scarcity of offerings was the principal reason for the sharn upturn. A moderate demand from shorts forced the price of May up from 68c, the opening fig ure, to file. Toward noon the demand be came extremely active, resulting In a quick advance to t!6e. Near the close a revival of the aggressive demand from shorts caused a final upward hound to 6Tc.

May 24. -There was sub stantial strenirth In tndav's stock market, as was evidenced by the length of the list of stocks which were lifted between 1 and 2 points during the day's trading, and In a few exceptional Instances more than Hint. The trading offered a nuintier of remarkable features. One was the email volume of tho demand on which the very notable gains were effected. The day's transactions fell below those of either yesterday or the day before. If the buying was fur the account of uncovered shorts. It was decidedly frto from any sign of urgency or such trepida tion as the bear trader short of stock usually manifests. There was rather free selling during the first hour owing to the wide advances at which prices opened. Prices have made io many false starts towards recovery that sentiment hai become extremely suspicious of these sudden advances over night, which have melted away during the day in more than one Instance lately. The same sus picious attitude was maintained by the professional element today. At different stages or the advance the market sank into practical stagnation, but the ground yielded on such occasions was Insignificant. There was no definite news to account for the movement and, in fact, some of the day's developments might be regarded as ad ditions to factors recently regarded as tin- tavoranie. i ne grain markets still nan their crop damage reports. The Chicago strike situation seemed aggravated and in danger of spreading. The secretary of war outlined rresn administration views for tno regulation of corporations. But the consid eration of these matters had apparently loBt lorce. i ne northwestern railroad problem. on the other hand, showed a perennial freshness. The revival of rumors that an agreement had been reached amongst these, powers In that Meld to refrain from hostil ities was the real effective force back of the day s market.

Of these, however, the greater part were con signed through, leaving only about twelve fresh loads on sale. As was the case yes- today, me bulk of the offerings were lambs, and buyers on this class of stuff were bearish and did not seem as anxious aa usual to take on fresh supplies. Trad lng was very slow and bids were around loitl5c lower than yesterday and fully quarter lower than last week. Old sheep were In better demand than the tamos, out buyers were slow In taking hold and tho market was slow and dull all through Trading was done at steady to lower prices on this class of sheep and the movement was uraeuv. For the laat two davs nuye have been pounding the market on lainna and as the lamb receipts have been fairly Plentiful for some time, packers are evi dently well sunplled.

The general quality or tne receipts was good. Beef steer were in Door demand and buyers took hold with little strength. There was very nine urgency to the demand. Bids were right around 10c lower, and as sellers were slow in meeting the decline. there was very little done until well along in tne lorenoon. Cows and heifers were a little scarce to day and for this reaxon they do not show the decline that the beef steers do. Heifers were about 10c lower, but good cows sold In about tne same notches as yesterday The market on veal calves, bulls and stags was quotahly unchanged.
