the Opening ,
CI1ICAOO , May 1. May deliveries in
Brain and provisions wcro made today with
Burprlslng smoothness nnd the bulls put up
the prlco of wheat about V4c for July. I atcr
they discovered that their congratulations
had been premature when wheat , on favor-
nhlo conditions , was taking a Ic tumble ,
which resulted In a loss for the day of % c
per bu. Corn was dull nnd followed llio
course of wheat. U closed Uc lower for
July and 1-lCc lower for May. Oats were
Htrong until near the close. May rose % c ,
but left off with nil but V o of the ndvnnco
gone. Provisions slartort out firm , but closed
with a slight loss In value.
The deliveries of May wheat before the
opening were very light , considering the
largest Blocks. The estimates of the quan
tity delivered varied from l.r.00,000 to 2,000-
000 bu. The trade evidently considered them
light enough to bo encouraging to the bull
Hide of the market , which started strong at
about Uc over the closing prices of the
previous day. May for an instant sold nt
fiSMiC , but GSc was Immediately touched
and offerings became at once very light. It
gradually worked up In the next hour to
fiOc. July was flrm nt the opening and ad
vanced He , but It hail n weak quarter of
an hour when the Daltlc and other foreign
'ports were reported as having shipped C.2IO-
000 bu. In wheat ami Hour last week ; that
caused a decline to 0c. July became flrm
again nnd recovered to C0',4c when the At
lantic port clearances wcro known to amount
to about COO.OOO bu. of wheat nnd flour.
Iluylng by the Anglo-American Packing
company advanced May to Me and nar
rowed the spread between It and July from
2Uo nt the opening to Hie Inter. The de
mand for May wheat Hlackened at length
and the price fell off to fiSe , after hawing
touched CSVic , but It recovered ' , 0 nt the
cloie.
The deliveries of corn wcro only about
3,000,000 bu. , J. C. Schwartz taking In nnd
paying for most of It. This gave the market
n bullish start. The buying was continued
by Armour for a short time , advancing Ihe
price from 37jC to " % c. A large part of
today's business consisted In changing May
contracts Into July. In the later half of
the session the market became weak In
sympathy with wheat and closed weak.
Oats were flrm at the opening aud the de
mand for May oats continued , not only
from shorts , but from longs who were ro-
porlctl to have taken some. The close
showed the prlco back again within % c of
the opening. The cash market was firmer.
The provision mnrket was dull and drag-
King1. There was a short period of flrmness
near the opening , caused by the receipts of
hogs being 1,000 less than estimated. The
opening quotations were the highest for
thu day. July pork started at $12.70 , de
clined ami closed fie lower than on the day
before. There was no trndo In May lard
until near the close , when it sold sparingly
and closed nt $7.45. July lard opened nt
from J7.121to $7.1G , declined and closed
at S7.1G. July ribs sold from $ C.52'/4 at the
beginning of the session to $0.45 nt the
close on a steady decline. .
Estimated receipts for Wednesday : Wheat ,
95 cars ; corn , 243 cars ; oats , 175 cars ; hogs ,

NKW YOHK , May 1. The transactions on
the Stock exchange wcro considerably lean
than on yesterday , but Ihe trading was more
widely distributed and the general tone of
Iho market was better. Sugar was again the
leader of the speculation , but the volume
of business therein was decreased by nearly
one-half , nnd there was evidence of liquida
tion of the bull pool In the stock : In the very
largo supply of the shares. The talk of fa
vorable tariff changes was less confident
*
nnd altogether It was loss favorable to n
future ndvanco In price. At the opening
free offerings were made nnd prices declined
gradually until 101 wns touched , a. loss of
1 % per cent from yesterday's closing ( Inures.
Then n good buying movement was devel
oped , which was largely to cover shorts contracts -
tracts , and n gain of 1 % per cent was ef
fected , followed by a reaction of 1 % per cjnt
anil n II mi I recovery of 1 per cent , making
a decline on the day of't per cent. Sugar
preferred declined l' per cent , but rallied
' 4c nt the close. Heading of the railway list
was most nctlve , nnd wns depressed by re
ports of dllllcultlcs In the way of reorganiza
tion. The grangers were among the strong
est stocks on the list. Hurllngton was the
most active of the group. The publication of
( he March earnings did not hear out the
depressing reports of the past few days , and
the unexpectedly good showing In net earn
ings caused the shorls lo cover. This sent
prices up after an opening decline of % , the
ndvanco ranging to 2 % per cent , and being
most pronounced In the late dealings. The
closing prlco was within % per cent of the
highest. St. Paul made n gain of "B per cent ,
Hock Island % per cent and Northwestern %
per cent. The general market opened weak
and a fraction lower , but quickly * recovered
the loss. Koine few shares declined during
the first hour , notably American Tobacco
preferred , which lost 1 per cant. During the
hour before noon the tendency wns toward
higher prices , but the trading was very
light and the fluctuations narrow. After
mldilay.n fractional reaction took place , hut
tlio mnrket quickly rallied and the quota
tions again moved upward , only to bo low
ered nbout 1:45 : o'clock. But during the last
half hour the speculation assumed a strong
tone , and an Improvement was entered upon
which continued to the close , the final sales
showing gains on the day of % to 1 % per
cent. The bond market was steady In the
early part of the day , but closed Irregular.

TUESDAY , May 1.
There was a good average Tuesday's run
of cattle and hogs hero today , but no sheep.
The two days' supply of calllo falls about
1,300 head short of the same two days last
week , in sheep there Is a TOO head shortage ,
while hog receipts have been about the
same.
Cattle values generally ruled firm today ,
nnd business was brisk. Kastern advices
were not particularly bullish , but us there
was a good shipping and export demand , as
well as an active Inquiry from all local
slaughterers , and the supply was compara
tively light , the feeling was generally
stronger. There were some right good
heavy cattle here , but the lighter grades
wcro mostly fair to poor stock. Fair to
good 1,200 to l.ROO-lb. beeves sold at from
J3.i : > to $3.05. while fair to good light steers
weighing from 850 lo 1,107 Ibs. sold nt from
$3.3i ! up to $ : ! .S5. Burly trading was rather
sluggish , but Improved as the day were on ,
the close being characterized by considera
ble activity and occasional higher prices.
In Ihe cow market there was no particu
lar change. Supplies were moderate and the
demand fair. All grades , Including canncrs ,
seemed In better request at firmer prices.
The supply of calves was too liberal to ad
mit of any Improvement In values , and n
generally weak tone pervaded the trade.
LUills , oxen nnd staes were In very fair re
quest at good , firm prices.
The stocker and feeder trade was rather
quiet , and while prices wcro not quotably
lower , trading was slow and the edge- oft
the market. Offerings were tolerably liberal
ami the demand not very vigorous from
either yard traders or country buyers. Good
to choice feeders are quoted nt from $3.25 to
$3.85 , fair to good nt from $3 to $3.25 ami
Uglier , commoner grades at from $3 down.

HOGS Although receipts today were fully
twice as heavy as on Monday , the market
was n reversal of Monday's trade. In otlier
words , Instead ot being from So to lOc
lower , prices ruled Just about that much
higher , or practically the same as on Sat
urday or last Tuesday. The shipping de
mand was Insignificant , but as Chicago was
reported firmer , speculators took a lively
interest In the proceedings and wlille buyers
for local houses were somewhat apathetic
early they wcro free buyers late and soon
had the supply cleaned up. The market
opened strong to n nickel higher than Mon
day , with common to choice hogs selling at
from $5 to $5.10 , mostly nt JG.Ou ; later the
market Improving right along , the hogs sold
nt from $5.05 to $5.10 , mostly nt $5.071 , nnd
$5.10 , or from 5c to lOc higher than Monday ,
when $5 was the popular price. The bulk
of the hogs sold today at from $5.05 to $5.10 ,

CHICAGO. May 1. There was some drmand
for cattlt- today , but It was weak nnd light re
ceipts only unveil the market from a further de
cline. Not many cattle were left over from yes
terday , nnd as the fresh arrivals scarcely reached
4,000 head , there was no occasion for any lowerIng -
Ing of prlees. Hales were on a basis of Mon
day's quotations , Inferior ntuft selllns nround
JI.75 nnd extra 1.500 to 1,000-lb. steers being
salable nl from 14.40 to II.CO. Kew of the offerIngs -
Ings brought as much ns 11.15 , the bulk of the
steers selling nt from J3.C5 to 14 , nnd from J2.2.1
to J3.1S taking the greater part of the cows nml
bulls. A few slop-fed cattle. were among tinar
rivals.
Them was a minor trtne lo the hog market.
With less than half ns many receipts as for
Monday most of the day's decline1 was recovered ,
the best heavy nnd medium weights
selling up to from $1.30 to J5.35
and finin J5.25 to J5.30 being pal.l for
assorted lights. There was n good demand and
most of the- hogs had been weighed before 9
o'clock , the total supply not exceeding 18.000
head. The quality was good , and most of tin-
business wns done nt from J5.2' ) to J5.30 , from
J5.25 to J5.30 being the popular prlees. Culls
sold anywhere from $3 to J3.75. The close was
steady.
Continued moderate arrivals keep Ihe sheep
market from declining In spite of an Indifferent
demand. Sales were slow , but the maik.-twns _ _
firm at former quotations , or at from Jl. . . > _ lo
$ I.C5 for poor to choice sheep and at fiom $1.2. ) to

unusually favorable for farm work and the
advancement of crops. The dally mean tum-

grees above normal , and the rainfall was
seasonable In amount. The last week
brought high temperature and sunshine , clos
