Southwestern crop tinnmgo reports , backed by buying from the BIUIIO section , sent wheat up lc In big Jumps after the weak opening today. lleallzliiB shoved the price down again later , but July closed lie higher.

After a % c range the market closed near the top. Buying by packers nnd the notion of wheat caused a firm market In provisions , but trade was small and the range narrow. Compared with l.tst night July pork Is 7',4c ' higher , July lard Co higher , and July ribs 2tic higher. . Vessel rates to Buffalo were firmer with a fair demand at lc for corn.

The American Wool nnd Cotton Reporter says cf the wool mnrket ! The market I * demoralized. It Is hard to say what wools arc worth today. The quotations for old wool menu one thing nnd the quotation * for new wool menu another. Ohio XX Is sold at 22c this week nnd Michigan X at ISc , but these prices do not neci'.osnrlly mean the value nf new wools ; In fact , It seems likely that somewhat less prices will hate to be accepted. Wo hnvo now reached n point where we are fncc to fncc with the question whether wo nre to havit free or dutiable wonl. This Important mutter pinmliicg lo be set- tltil either uni > xvny or Ihu oilier within n com- parntlvely few days , nnd until It Is determined mnnufacliiiers riinnot be Induced to purchase one pound more wool than their actual necessi ties require. If thu bill should fall of passage nn advanc" In wool would undoubtedly occur , while. If It bec'inii's n law , ns now nppenrs probable , there nre certain smiley on which a further decline may lw looked for.

The speculation on the Stock exchange today was dull and un interesting to a degree , the trading In Sugar and Chicago alone relieving the market from utter stagnation. What trading was done was mostly on the short side of the mar ket , the Influences affecting the speculation being mainly of an unfavorable character. Although the sterling exchange mnrket was a' shade caster In tone , today's ship ments of gold were Increased unexpectedly , bringing the total exports so far this week up to $3,000,000 , and a similar amount will go forward , It Is thought , on Saturday. This had a depressing effect on the market , nnd the receipt of reports of several railroads , which showed decreased earnings for April heavier than were anticipated , added to the general weakness. Sugar , while most act ive of the list , was not extensively dealt In. After nn early break of 1 per cent n coverIng - Ing movement was begun , which resulted In an advance of 1 % per cent. Renewed sell ing checked the Improvement , and a gradual decline set In , resulting In tlio loss of the entire gain. In the final dealings there was a rally of % per cent , with a reaction of U per cent at the close , making a decline of Vs per cent on the day. The preferred shares lost a similar fraction , The fluctua tions In the granger shares were within fractional limits , St. Paul and Hock Island losing % and ' /d per cent respectively , and Burlington & Qulncy gaining \'t \ per cent on the day , and there being nothing done In Northwestern , Oregon Improvement broke 2 % per cent. Tlio market at the close was uteady to firm. The band mar ket was firm during the morning ; , but be came easier during the afternoon , and closed weak. The Evening Test says : There were some evidences In today's foreign exchange quota tion of an eflort to force DIllH on the mar ket against hlpmcnts of gold to.earnings. . At any rate It IB clear now that the direct London withdrawals linvo ceased and that today's S.L',000,000 export , with probably the week's earlier shipments , ere destined for Germany ( ilonc. The open money market rate at Derlln and Frankfort Is In fact at present higher than at any other European center , and It will be remembered that 113,000,000 In gold was shipped to the United States from Germany to meet the needs of last Bummer's panicky money market , The Evening Post's London cablegram says ; Today's bank return was the strong est In every particular ever publtihcd , The total of coin and bullion was 30,000,000 , the largest since 1879. The Increuue during the week was 1,780,000 , of which 1,19 ! > ,000 were In cold and United States coin , but 68,000 came In from Australia and the remainder from homo circulation and the usual return from Scotland. The stock mar kets were Idle today and Americana \vcro dull and weak. The strength of the bunk forces up gilt-edged Blocks to fancy prices. Contois were nearly 101 % , Negotiations hnvo been practically concluded by a syndi cate of bankers hero to advance 1,000,000 sterling to the Argentine government to assist In the payment of Its debt. The loan In conditional on a satisfactory settle ment of the Argentine railway guarantees. The break In Argentines this afternoon was duo to sale * In Paris on rumors- that the funded loan would bo paid In scrip. This Is not believed here.

So far this week , compared with last , there has been a falling off of about,3,000 cattle and 1,000 sheep , while the Increase lit hog supplies has been nearly 5,500 head. The light supply of cattle , the favorable tone to eastern advices and the good demand from local dressed beef houses all combined to make a good , strong , active market. Shippers and exporters were not In It , but with such small supplies the stimulus of outside competition was not necessary to make a llvtly trade. The movement was free throughout with prices steady to a shade stronger than Wednesday on about everything In the beef steer line. The cow market was active and firm on the little good stock here and slow and weak on common stock. Calves ruled fully steady , and the market for rough was gen erally unchanged. Activity and strength continue to char acterize the tiade In stoclters and feeders. The demand has Improved considerably lately and the market Is In better shape than for two weeks past. Good to choice feeders are quoted at from $3 to $3.30 , fair to good at from $2.75 to $3 , nnd the com moner grades at from $2.75 down. Repre sentative sales : rmnssiio IIKIR : No. Av. Pr. No. Av.

Light weights predominate and the heavier grades are getting rather scarce. The market opened active and strong , with a gocd line of buyers on hand , but later , as urgent or ders were filled , the heavy receipts had a depressing Influence , and prices ruled a shade easier. The strength In provisions and good reports from Chicago , however , finally caused a good , steady close. At the opening the hogs sold largely at $1.55 to $ - .GO. On the weak spot , $ -1.50 to $4.55 bought the hogs , und at the close the popu lar figure waa $4.55.

A ennvnwH of the Hlliiiillnn now revciils the fact that the Hinall mannfactiirerh have u Rtipply on hand adequate to about two weeks run , while the heavier consumers arc Hllll bet tor off. H him been found In most cltl'M that the supply has held out better thun was nt Ih'Ht estimated , ns all cnnHimieni commence to economize as coon as Ihsro Is danger of a famine , nnd this city mny bo no exception to the rule. The dealers have enough cual on linml for dom8ia : purposes. Theie Is still a Rood deal of coal ar riving In the city , though the supply fiom eastern points has been cut off ent'rely. nnd It Is from Iowa that this city received the hulk of Its soft cnal , The mlncri nt Newcastle , Hock Springs and Hherldan urj still lieliiR worked , and aru producing1 largo ciimntlttcs of coal that lu being brought this way. While dealers am nshlni ; more money for certain kinds of coal , there has bc n no general ndvnnce of the market.

Tuo Cars of Chorrle * Knlil at Very Loir 1'lgnren. The largest auction of fruit held In the city yet took place yesterday at a. m. There were two curs of cherried , or 2,029 boxes , on sale. The buyers were late In arriving' , which delayed the culo consider ably und disgusted those who arrived on time. The attendance of buyers , however , was largo when ( hey had ull put In an ap pearance. The quality of the fruit was poor , A good many of the cherries were small ami Inferior to start with , besides being over ripe nnd not good enough for the shipping1 trade , While the buyers evidently wanted the fruit , the suit ) progressed slowly. After u buyer's bid hud been accepted It would taku several minutes for the buyer to decldu what he wanted , and a goml deal of valu able tlmn would be lost. Kverythtng wn sold before the close. Out of the lt lots offered four lots hrought ( K ) cents ; twelve lots , & 5 cents ; three loin , W cents ; six lots , 75 centu ; eight lotx , 70 cents ; twenty-seven lota , 6fi cents ; iilmi lots , tX ) cents ; sixteen loin , K cents : thirteen lots , DO cents ; two lots , 45 cents ; three loin , 4U cents ; two lots , 25 cents.
