' CHICAGO, GRAIX AND PROVISIONS
Peat ore of the Trading and Closlns
i Price on Board of Trade,
. CHICAGO, May J8. In every pit on the
Board of Trade closing quotations showed
a loss. Expectation . of , marked Improve
ment In the crap showing was general be
cause of the warm weather in all direc
tions following a,. "long-continued coolness
ana ine rains.
.Reports of another oararo of IV). 000 hush
els of wheat to come to Chicago from
Duluth gave an additional statement near
the close. .AoUve. futures finished lo to
1140 lower ana may, c. corn showed a
decline of To to lc; oats, a to o and
provisional 7Ho to 17V.
Apparently the- short Interest in wheat
had largely, covered on yesterday's bulge
and there was little or no other basis of
strength. The higher Liverpool quotations
were regarded aa merely a reflection of a
temporary spurt here. i-. purchases which
caused tha local bulge were believed to
' have been sold out today In the first hour.
The selling pressure was renewed and par
ticularly from the northwest. Duluth
stocks- were shovfti to have been deoreased
300,000 bushels In two days. A dispatch
from Dallas declared that Texas would
rain 15,000,000 bushels and that the harvest
would begin in eight days.
Almost simultaneously came Information
that durum wheat was 23c lower than
spring wheat at Duluth, showing total ab
sence for any foreign demand. In none of
the. markets was there any call reported
for ordinary milling, sorts. Selling was
moot persistent and the -support poorest
In the final dealings. One reason was a
telegram asserting that reports from every
nunty In North Dakota, showed almost
ithout exception practically no damage
' and that conditions apparently were about
perfect. " September aold from I1.01H to
Sl.Ooti. and closed weak at Sl.OOHc, a net
loss of lVc.
Bflght warm weather and larger offer

ures of the day, No, 3 yellow finished at
638 64c.
Illinois and Iowa offered oats here freely
today. Many longs who bought yesterday
and- last week unloaded. Fluctuations In
the September option were between 39o
and 'Mc, with the close at the latter price,
a loss of Ve'ic.

NEW YORK STUCKS AND BONDS
Foreign Exchanje Situation Partly
Explains Stagnation in. Markets.
CONTUSION REPORTED ABROAD
Exlatlac High Price of Commodlllea
Kmpkaslse Keoewlty of Wide
spread Adjustment to Awaken
Trade Activity.
NEW YORK, May 18-In seeking an ex
planation for the present stagnant con
dition of the stock market attention was
turned to the foreign exchange situation.
The persistent hardening of the foreign ex
change rates since the break caused by the
first reports of large sales of American
securities to foreigners has begot the fear
that the reports of these sales were ex
aggerated and partly unfounded. The dif
ficulty In obtaining authentlo Information
on the subject from the bankers concerned
adds to the doubts which have come to be
entertained. The suspicion that has grown
up as to the sales of bonds actually effect
ed cause a reversion of discussion to some
of the unfavorable conditions which it was
hoped to have relieved by the free recourse
to foreign supplies of capital.
It Is to be said that conditions In the
foreign exchange markets are much con
fused and the difficulty Is thus Increased of
reading the supposed effects of sales
abroad of bonds. On the other hand, the
negotiations of the bond sales saw the de
cline in exchange rates nnd the reduced
profit on the sale of their bills against
those sales with no great relish and the
rebound In exchange Is under suspicion of
manipulation to correct the situation In the
Interest ot those banking Interests. The
uneasiness of the shorts In foreign ex
change would be aggr.ivlatrd of course,
by allowing doubts to grow of the realltv
pf the reported sales of bonds.
Genuine strength In foreign exchange In
Indicated bv the course of foreign mar
kets and the sales here of stocks for for
eign account. The troubles Incident to the
putting afloat of fraudulent cotton bills of
lading also constitute an element In the
scarcity of commercial bills of exehnnpe.
The hardening course of the private dis
count rate In London today dissipated any
expectation that the bank rate would come
down tomorrow. The continuance of with
drawals of gold for sundry destinations
from the bank of England makes it likely
that protection will be bought bv making
the present bank rat effective In the
open market.
With this outlook in the foreign exchange
market there was a recurrence of discus
sion today of tha unfavorable trade bnl
ance, the existing high price of commodities
and the possible necessity of a widespread
readjustment to correct the discrepuncv
and to reawaken demand and restore trade
activity.
In this mood of the speculation atten
tion was attracted to such Incidents .is the
agitation by shippers against freight rate
Increases by the railroads and thi? move
ment among New England cotton mills to
shut down for the week of Decoration
day.
The dealings of 245,200 shares were the
smallest of any day of this or last year. In
the hour between 1 and 2 o'clock today
less than 18.000 shares ohans-ed hnrnt.
Bonds were easy. Total sales par value,
$1,176,000. United States bonds were un
changed on call.

There were about forty loads of cows and

HOGS Supply was liberal, demand broad,
trade active and prices higher In the hog
yards this morning. Improvement in prod
uct yesterday resulted in a better shipping
demand and order buyers were out In the
alleys early, selecting such loads as they
needed on outside account. Light grades
met with the more lively Inquiry, however,
and It was on this class of stock that com
petition centered.
Good light hegs sold In both divisions at
prices sately a dime higher than yesterday,
but the heayler grades had to go at figures
lust about a nickel higher. Today's ad
vance, ot course, leaves a small spread be
tween lights and heavies, with the former
class of stock selling at or near the lop ot
the list. Packers bought freely through
out purchased the bulk ot receipts and
made possible an early clearance.
A large share of offerings went at $9,403
$60 as compared with yesterday's spread
of $9 80fl40. Tops advanced to $9,574. a
shilling higher than high sales yesterday.

SHEEP Lamb prices
higher this morning on a list In supply am
anvthlmt that was fit to kill told in vei.
good season. Supply consisted of clove;,
double-decks, mostly lambs, but four u.
five loads were untlnisned strings still ti
the fleece and had to go to a feeder. Tlu
absence of ewes, wethers, etc., left value
In this branch of the trade nomiuauj
steady.
Most of the fat lambs on sale went at
figures ranging from u diinu to a 0.11111 If.
h.gher than those ot yesterday. Snor.-.
Mexican lambs at JS.IH) experienced the full
advance; a less desirable kind sold at $st
and California spring lambs, change-1
hands at $9.15.
Despite A sltimpv Monday's trade that
promised ill for the balance ot the week,
iamb prices hnve scored a net decline ui
fully lie for the three days, fucker h't
been buying rather spar.ngiy. however, a-ul
there has been very Utile activity to tne
trsde. Shorn lambs that dress out will
were wanted, but there has been practically
no Inquiry for the heavier grades or tor
wooltd slock. Shipments ailll in the fleece
are not suitable for warm weather trade.
Not many sheep have been coming, but
the suppiy, even though meager, has been
fully adequate. Killers have not been tak
ing very kindly to sheep, and prlcrs have
suffered all along tt. line. Ewes bore the
brunt of the decline for the reason that
ewe offerings were the more plentiful. Cur
rent quotations are about 35jOc lower than
prices at last week's close, but the amount
of business done In this branch of the
market has been almost too small to artoid
a broad view of the situation.
