CHICAGO , May 17. It was a record
breaking day In wheat. .May sold at. 63U1
nnd July at C5c , nnd the latter closed %
Jower than yesterday. Free Kcllltig , wen I
rabies , favorable crnp reports and the ati
nounccincnt that the Grand Trunk will a
present carry no more freight , owing d
the coal famine , all contributed to the weak
jicas. Trading wan active and at time :
rather panicky. July corn closed ' ,5c lower
July oats unchanged and provisions lower al
nroiind.
Wheat was active und weak. Opcnlm
trades were at from > , &c to % c lower , am
gradually sold down with little reaction I'/ic '
rallied from Uc to % c , changed SOUK
nnd closed with lc to l',4c decline. Tht
early Influences were all bearish. The I'rlrc
Current nummary was construed as such
"Also the cables , weather and northwester !
receipts. Outside markets were also weak
especially NKW York. Local operators , led
liy 1'ardrldge , were free sellers on the shorl
tdde and much long wheat was liquidated ,
Thn iiiinomicement by the Grand Trunk thai
that , railroad would discontinue taking
freight , owing to the coal famine , was al < :
n bearish factor , and was followed by n
period of rather panicky feeling. The mar
ket closed near the botioin.
Corn was steady at the start on fair buy
ing by the heaviest purchasers of yesterday ,
litlt offerings gradually Increased , and wl.en
wheat broke corn sympathized. After an
early gain of ' , lc , July sold off -"J4C and closed
nt the bottom ,
Oats was active and unsettled. The
market opened strong nnd Uc up , but weak
ened under moderate selling and In sym
pathy with other grains , and the near fu
tures declined from % c to % c and the
others Uc.
With the arrivals of live hogs at the yards
nbout 7,000 more than estimated and lower
prices for them , provisions opened weak
with a decline In values , and then ruled
Bteady on a little support. Trading was
light and the break In wheat subsequent
and the rush to sell were responsible for a
moderate decline , from which there was a
Blight reaction. Compared wllh last night.
July pork Is 20c. July lurd 12'XiC and July
ribs lie lower.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow : Wheat.
300 cars ; corn , 375 cars ; oats , 185 cars ; hogs ,
21,000 head.
Freights were slow , with charters for
corn to Buffalo l'/4c. The ocean rate from
Huston to Liverpool was 1.47c per bu. , with
loads hard to get.

Values Went Down In the 1'iicn of a i'ulrly
Active .Speculation.
NEW YORK , liny 17. The speculation on
the Stock exchange was fairly active today ,
but tlio result of the day's transactions
was with a few exceptions a depreciation In
values. The opening prices were as a rule
higher than yesterday's flnal sales , but the
early trading was Irregular. Before the ex
piration of the first quarter of an hour the
market became steady , and with good buy
ers coming Into the market an advance set
In which continued up to 11 o'clock and In
which Lead , Delaware & Hudson , Union Pa
cific and the grangers were most prominent.
Some few shares were heavy and recorded
declines , Iowa Central preferred receded
lii per cent and Canadian Pacific 1 per
cent. Shortly after 11 o'clock Lead was
iressecl for sale and lost most of the early
tnprovement , Sugar common and preferred ,
New England and the list generally falling
off n fraction. The depression was of brief
duration and under the leadership of Dis
tilling , which was bought freely , and Lead ,
which again came Into demand , an upward
.urn was made , the market turning strong
n the afternoon. A change , however , was
aulckly made from strength to depression ,
[ freat Northern preferred on sales of 200
shares broke 5 % per cent , Sugar l'i per
cent and tli6 rest of the list fractions.
Miout 1 o'clock Sugar and Lead rallied a
ractlon , Lead preferred jumping 2 per cent.
Speculation then became Irregular and dtir-
ng the last hour was weak on sales of the
ictive list. Lake Shore , Manhattan , St.
Paul and Reading made the heaviest de
clines , the closing being weak except for
some few shares.
The bond market was steady during the
nornlng , but became weak In' the afternoon.
The Evening Post says : For a time nt
this morning's opening the market 'had a
singularly cheerful aspect. Prices for pretty
much everything on the list were sharply
advanced. Buying orders were executed by
Condon houses , and in the grangers and
ndustrlal stocks an active recovery seemed
o bo in progress. The first hour's gains ,
however , were only partially maintained ,
ind the subsequent heaviness and dullness
showed that the orders , whether made
hrough local "bulls" or foreign brokers ,
vere a transient raid against yesterday's
short interest.

ern Miller says the Minneapolis mills last
kveek ground 193,137 barrels against 160,000
the week before and 159,875 the correspond
ing week In 1893. This week about the same
capacity Is In operation. Low freight rates ,
together with splendid water power . are the
: auses of the heavy running ,
flour Is very slow of sale , buyers
aeliis wholly Indifferent ' except as they
[ Ind customers to take'It off their hands.
Export shipments , 47,385 barrels , against 40-
390 barrels the previous week. At Superior
uid Duluth the output was 48,939 barrels
igalnst 35,931 barrels the previous week
> ml 38,732 In 1893. These figures are likely
: o be Improved this week. The Milwaukee
mills ground 28,848 , barrels , against 37.131
Barrels the previous week and 36,000 barrels
n 1893. No Improvement Is noted In Hour
.rade. The St. Louis production was 32,500
jarrels , against 35,300 barrels the preceding
, veek. The markets seem to be getting

Ilccelpts of cattle so far this week , compared -
pared with last , lmvt been almost cxartb
the same. lu hogs there has been an Itv
crease of nearly 10,000 head , and a feu
hundred more sheep.
The cattle market was very dull and un
evenly lower. Supplies were not ut nl
heavy , but there was un unusually Indiffer
ent ami bearish set ot buyers on linnil , at
account of the very dlfcoilraglng news Iron
! Chicago and markets farther cast. Aboin
the only class of cuttle in any demand at al
were the handy fat grades and these soli
Co to lOc lower than Wednesday. The mo <
dliim and heavy grades were hard to move
at any price. Neither shippers nor spec
ulators were not at all anxious for them ever
at n lOc to 15c decline. Diislness dragged nloni
through the greater part of the day , am
there were quite u few cattle still In flrsl
hands nt the close.
The market for cow stuff , what there was
of It , was all right. Six or eight full loads
and a few odds ami ends made up the sup
ply. Where the quality was good prices
ruled fully steady , while the common anil
Inferior stuff ruled slow and weak. Calve ?
were In moderate supply and fair domain !
at llrm prices , and there was no change
worth noting In the market for bulls , oxen
nnd stags.
Business In stockers ami feeders was
rather quiet. Regular dealers did most
of the trading , and as stale stocks were low
and there was n good prospect of n fair de
mand from the country prices generally
were firmly held. A big bunch of good
westerns brought $3.70 and nothing of any
consequence sold at under $ : ! . : ! . " > . Good to
choice feeders nro quoted at $3.20 ( 3.70 ,
fair to good at $3.00i3.15 ( , and the com
moner grades at from | 3 down. Represen
