The opening trades In wheat showed a
Blight decline , but the market soon rnlllod
from tie to % c , broke fiom 'Ho
to % c , advanced lc. changed some
nnd closed n stated. Thetc was fairly good
buying early , while offerings were mod
erate nnd the crowd short nml nervous ,
Influenced to a great extent by the cold
weather , smaller northwestern receipts and
the generally oversold condition of lliu mar
ket. There was also some talk of u buying
pool being organized that also acted as a
stimulating factor , one operator being cred
ited with EOO.OOO bu. The California crop
report was quite bullish , Indicating about
one-half the usual yield. I'ardrldge sold
freely from the start and tin ; crowd be
came long. Cables were Hat and depressed ,
outside markets also very weak nnd some
of the early buyers Hold out. prices declining
Hhnrply In consequence. Un the reaction
that followed , however , the loss was over
come , the market closing near the top.
In corn the lone of the Htnrt was minor
Ilrm , but weakened Inter and clo ed fairly
steady. The ently strength was attributed
to the cold weather throughout the west and
shorts covering. Initiatory trades were at
a trilling advance nnd sold up from ' < , ( to
> Jc mores when the offerings Increased , due
mainly to the arrivals for tomorrow being
estimated nt TOO earn. Prleos sold down
HL- , rallied about \\K to V , and closed
steady. . . . . .
In oats there was an unsettled feeling.
The near futures were weaker and declined
from Vtc to ' 4c , but closed steady toio \
A panicky feeling existed In the specu
lative market for provisions at the opening
on the failure of Dunham it Co.'s commis
sion house. At the start prices were
ullfjhtly lower , but they Immediately llrmcd
uii , the packers supporting the market.
After ruling steady but dull for a. time ,
the market sold off to n very moderate
extent , mainly In sympathy with the break
In wheat , and then reacted with It later
on. At the close the market ruled steady
for pork and lard and Ilrm for ribs. Com
pared with last night July pork Is 25c and
July ribs 2Hc higher.

STOCKS AND IIO.NDS.
Speculation Win Generally Firm Sugar
Ailvorsoly Affected.
NEW YOIIK , May 18. The stock specu
lation today was heavy In tone during
the greater part of the ilay , nnd although
there were occasional recoveries , mainly
caused by the covering of timid shorts ,
the trend of prices was downward , nnd the
closing llgnrgs show material losses com
pared with the Until quotations of yester
day. The entire active list , with the excep
tion of General ISIectrlc , shared the de
preciation In values , but Hngar was the
weakest stock In the market. A very
heavy pressure to sell was developed In
the stock nt the opening , which came prin
cipally from Washington houses , nnd which
was believed to bu for the account of those
who purchased nt lower IlKures nnd were
endeavoring to realize prollts. The hears
also took a hand ut belling and largely In
creased the volume of business. With
somu ullght rallies the shares declined
gradually until a. break of 4 % per cent
had been made. A recovery of % per
cent followed , with a reaction of % . Sugar
preferred declined 174 per cent. The heavi
ness of the Sugar stocks was due to ap
prehensions that the pennto Investigation
would result to Ilio Injury of Sugar In
terests nnd might possibly lead to the
adoption of a less favorable tailft tor
sugars. Manhattan wna heavily sold on
rumors that Urn rapid transit bill was to
bu signed and dropped 4 per cent to 11G < $ ,
rallying In the ilnnl
trading. The de-
clltto In wheat was reflected In the de
pression In grangers , which were disposed
of on Chicago orders , chiefly In Bt. Paul
and Hurllngton & Qulncy. Hock Island
also came In for a good share of the sell
ing and made an early loss of Hi per
cent. St. Paul fell oft 1 per cent mid Hur
llngton & Qulncy , after au advance of &
per cent , receded 1 per cent. Northwestern
common reacted li and the preferred 2V4 ,
the latter closing at the lowest point
touched. The others of the group recov
ered % to % per cent at the close. In sym
pathy with Sugar , the industrials Bold
down , excepting General Klectrlc. which
was firmly held , and nt no tlmo was more
than 14 below yesterday's closing- , and
which Bulned " 4 on the day. Tobacco Is
down 1H , Cotton Oil 1W , Huuber l"i. Ilub-
ber preferred 1 , Consolidated lit and Chi
cage das 'fe. Some of the specialties made
linn were St. I'nnl & Omaha , 2 , nnd Mis
souri I'ndilc , 1 per cent. The other losses
were merely fractional.
In the final trnUlmr the covering of short
contracts caused n recovery on the general
list. The market closed firmer In tone than
It wns nt nny time during the day. The
bond market wn wenk nil dny In sym
pathy with the stock marUrt ,
The Kvenlng Post says : With temporary
haltn. . but not much nctunl rally , yester
day afternoon 'M decline In stocks contin
ued from today's opening , hike yester
day's selling , today's was chiefly short stock
put out locally , but In some quarters there
wn liquidation , too , largely originating In
Chlcpgo , The heaviest selling came , ns be
fore , from houses with "Washington con
nections. " Of course the point wns ma tic
that Senator Lodge's Investigation resolu
tion was llio grand cause of the weakness ,
but this Is silly. The truth nf the situation
* s that the "senate deal" Is being finally
closed out.

Receipts for the Ht-etk so far , compared
With last , show nn Increase of 11,000 hogs ,
while cattle supplies have fallen off about
300 head nnd sheep about 600 head.
There was not a very heavy supply of cat-
tie nnd the market was Just about the re
verse of Thursday's trade. In other words
the decline of lOc Thursday was about off
set by pretty close to a lOc advance today.
An exceptionally light run nt Chicago and
n better market there put new life Into the
business here nnd the trade was In very
satisfactory shape throughout. The Im
provement xvns most marked on the lighter
grades , dressed beef men paying from $3.fi5
to $ ; l.W for common to very good SOO to
1,150-lb , steers. On account of the more
favorable reports from the east there was
more activity on the part of shipping nnd
export buyers , nnd sellers had no trouble
In getting rid of their heavy cattle. Coarse
1,100-Ib. beeves sold as low us W.GO , but the
fair to good 1.200 to 1,150-tb. cattle sold
largely nt from ? 3.EO to $1. It was n good
lively market from the start , and long
before noon the useful cattle had left llrst
hands.
Cow values did not decline In sympathy
with steers yesterday , nor did they advance
today. 1'rlces have ruled strong about all
week , nnd owing to the very light supply
from day to day the lluctuatlons" me few
anil within a very narrow range. Including
odds and ends there were not a dozen loads
of cows on sale today. Dressed beef men
were good buyers , and what suited them
sold strong , the under grades going al
generally unchanged figures. Calves were
In very active demand and n shade higher ,
and tht ; same was true of the market for
rough stock generally.
There was not much doing In feeders out
side of the regular dealers. Country buyers
did very little , but yard traders' supplies
were light , nnd they readily paid fully
steady prices for the fresh offerings. Good
to choice feeders lire quoted nt from $3.20
to $3.70 , fair to good at from ? 3 to $3.15 , and
the commoner grades at from $3 down.

HOGS After steadily decllnlnir for four
iliiy-H the inniket took u breathing spell
today. A drop of 35c without a reaction
was lianlly to be expected , so that with
a lighter run today no one was surprised
at a slight advance In values. There was
not a very vigorous shlpplnu demand , but
speculators were ready for business anil
local packers nil anxious for supplies. Husl-
ness opened out slow with buyers 'bidding
from J4.C. > to $1.70 for fair to good hogs of
all welghls. On account of the moderate
supplies and more favorable news from
ChlcaKO Boilers held off for an advance , and
buyers hart to gradually raise their hands.
The market strengthened us the morning
advanced , and toward the close fair to good
hogs were selling at from $1.70 to $4.75 , era
a nickel higher than yesterday. Today's
llrmness was more In the nature of a re
action than anything else , and there has
been no material Improvement In the situa
tion. BverythlMB changed hands In good
season , the bulk of the hogs selling at $ | .70 ,
as against $1.05 to $1.70 Thursday and from
$4.BO to $4.S5 on last Friday. Representative

dlfTHivnce , however , between packing etock In
the city and country. Packing stock bought In
this maiket has all been sorted over nnd select
paekuges lemoved , so that It Is not worth as
much as butter bought on track In th country.
