Wheat Was TJniettlcd and Nervous
Throughout the Session.
THAT CEREAL OPENED DECIDEDLY BULLISH
Reports nl Hot WlniU In Knnnnt Doing

Crops the Chief I'-ctor
of the DHJT ,
CHICAdO. May 28. Wheat wns unsettled
tnd nervous throughout the session , but
closed bullish within Vic of the top here for
the day , and 2'c ' ( higher thnn It left off the
flay before , Corn was strong , notwithstand
ing enormous receipts , before the scorch
ing dry weather , nnd clo cd with an ad
vance of Hie. Oats and provisions also
joined In the bulls triumphant procession.
Wheat opened with an emphatic enuncla *
! lon of Its bullish principles. The generally
prevailing price when the start was mode
was 60c for July. Some few sales were
made nt TlfJic , but against some purchases
made simultaneously nt SOVic. It cold
on the curb yesterday nt 78yae , The weak
ness ycsterady had , In a great measure ,
been because of the signal service predic
tion of heavy storms , which were reported
to be gathering In Ihc northwest. Hut to
day the weather map , except away In the
northwest corner , had no signs of rain on
It. The absence of rain , together with a
very bulllnh circular , Issued by C. A. King
ft Co. of Toledo , wns Iho chief reasons for
the strong opening. Apart from those mat
ters , the enrly market news was of a bear
ish character. The foreign mntkes woio
weak and lower. Hecelpts hero and In the
northwest were heavy. Hrndstreut s esti
mate of the changes for the week In Hie
world's visible gave a decrease of 2k13W )
bu. , nearly , on this continent. IJefore the
r last named piece of Information was re
ceived , the market hud three times cast dis
credit upon Its early assumptions of bull
ishness. It had tumbled from Wic to
7B'4c , recovered again to S0ric ; , dropped
once more to 79'ic and again recovered to
BO'/ic. Kor a time It hung around SO-sC , but
goon dropped again to a lower point than
the previous low point , touching "Uc. Uus-
Iness was smaller In volume than on the
day before until the last half hour , but thi
fiequency nnd material character of the
lluctuatlons Indicate very little abatement
In the nervousness which has been domi
nating the trade HO long. The closing cables
reported I'arln and Iterlln considerably
lower , but the reports of crop damage al
ready done are also alarmingly bad , anil
shoals of dispatches from NebraFka anil
Kansas coming In and reporting hot winds
Ecoruhlng up what vegetation remained , the
market dropped all pretensions of uncer
tainty nnd again proclaimed In more decl.
Hive terrnS than nt the start that It was o
bull. July was bringing Sl'.dc about llfteer
minutes from the close , nnd the clofce wnt
lit ! under that.
The corn market showed n bullish ted
Ing of the superior article , and at the clos
wns bringing 53c , as ngalnst E > 2c , nt tin
end of yesterday's session. The absence ol
rain , which was predicted yesterday , am
Instead of It hot , scorching winds In Soutl
Uakotn , Nebraska and Kansas and Mis
Hour ! , to be followed tonight by frost li
two of thoto btates , stirred up the pit am
brought to book the shorts , who crowdei
the pit. The receipts were heavy enouph
nlthough U5 cars less thnn estimated , tin
number on the Inspection sheet being 1,02
cars. July opened nt from & 3c to KPie , nm
before It censed to advance , It sold at Die
It reacted to 0fi : ) < - ' , rose again to Gl'jc , ol'
from that to Kiy4c ngiiln , then up to ni"4i
nnd closed at Kl'ic bid.
Oats opened llrmor , nnd grew more s <
during the session and closed very stron )
within a small fraction of the high poln
of the day , and at an advance of lc on thi
nearer deliveries , nnd l'o up on Septem
her. Very free buying by many partli-n
country orders , principally urgent , wit )
light offerings nnd very discouraging re
potts of dry weather throughout the oat ;
territory and considerable damugo by heat
nil tended to cicnte activity.
Orders from the outside to buy provision
were more numerous than usual , and that

NEW YORK , May 28. Speculation on the
Block exchange today was he > avy In tone and
Ihere was n steady decline In prices to the close
3f business , with one or two exceptions. A
H'lllni ; movement set In at the opening , which ,
although of only menlernte force , was continu
ous In Its operations nnd Imd the support of the
foreigners , ns well ns the local traders. Chief
among1 the causes of the depression were the
reports from the west nnd southwest regarding
the Brewing crops , which received contlrnmtlon
In the sharp advance In the Ktiiln market. The
Ixmdon market for American securities was
also weak , and this helped to lower figures here.
General Electric was strong In the early deal
ings nnd rose Ht per cent on buying Induced by
n VHKUO teport that the company was to supply
the Manhattan Elevated road with motors.plhu
slock closed within 14 per cent of the low Ilg-
ures. Susiiuehenna & Western shares resumed
their downward movement on the renewal of
unfnvotable reports regaullng the company , to-
wit : That President Horg was nbout tD leslgn
and that obligations cnieied Into by the com
pany were bearing heavily on It. The common
stock declined IK per cent to 10V , closing nt
10',4. The pieferred fell oft 4'i per cent to 2U ,
closing at u lecovcry of 211 per cent. Paclllc
Mail was In good demand on the reports that
the earning capacity of the company was to bo
Increased. An ndvanco of 1V4 per cent was

TUESDAY , May 28.
There was a good run of cattle today
he heaviest In nearly two months. HOK
receipts were only fnlr nr.d the supply of
sheep was comparatively small. The total
vas ins cars. The two days' receipts foot
ip 3,128 cattle , 6fc3S hogs and 758 sheep , an
ncrcase of over 1.000 cattle and n decrease
of about 2,600 hogs as compared with last
week. Sheep supplies show hardly any
change.
The showing of good beef cattle today
was better than It has been for several
lays , although the offerings Included very
Ittle that could be called choice. Trade
opened out tolerably lively under the Inllu-
; nco of fairly satisfactory reports from
'hlcago and a pretty good general demand.
1'rlces for the most part were fully steady
and on desirable offerings a shade stronger ,
ind on this basis most of the early trading
was done. As soon , however , as urgent
orders hud been lllled buyers all showed a
Imposition to shade prices on account of
ess favorable eastern reports , and the clos-
ng market was slow to u dime lower , with
several loads unsold.
The market for cow stuff wns stronger all
around. Veal calves were again In liberal
supply and sold lower. Hulls brought full
Monday's quotations.
There was some trading In stackers and
feeders , but prices were very low. In fact
It was the low prices that biought out a
few buyers. Dry weather Is the principal
bearish feature to the trade , and improve
ment Is hardly possible without a good
general rain. Good to choice feeders are
iiuotablo at from $3.20 to $3.75 , fair to good
at from $2.70 to JJ.20 , and common grades
from $ J.C5 down. HepresentaUve sales :

The temperature was on the average nbout
six degrees below the normal until Monday ,
when high southerly winds set In over the
entire state.
The rainfall has been very meagre , amountIng -
Ing at most to n few telth of an Inch and
over i-ome pot tlons of the btnte entirely
wnntlng. The ground Is now so dry thill
little farm work Is being done.
The small grain , except In a few favored
localities , particularly In the noitheastern
section , has suffered so severely that It Is
doubtful If even with Immediate rains It
would recover puillclently to make much of
a crop. Karly planted coin , Ahlle It has
made little growth and has been more or
less Injured by freezing weather , remains
In a fair condition ; the lute planted Is for
the most part still waiting for moisture In
order to germinate. Meadows nnd pastures
are getting very dry nearly everywheie
and feed for stock Is becoming very scant.
