CHICAGO , May 31. Wheat closed 2c , corn
IWo and oats IHo lower than on Wednes
day , with much lighter trading than has
been the rule of late. Provisions closed
with moderate declines.
Wheat at the opening was for Kale nt
from 79' c down to 79c for July , as against
MTic at the end of Wednesday's session.
The decline was In acknowledgment of the
rain which fell very generally yesterday
nnd this morning In the northwest and
southwest , west of the Mississippi river.
It was not supposed that 'the dead winter
wheat In that country had been resusci
tated or that such of It as Mill gave premIse
Iso of a yield worth cutting could be other
wlwj than Injured by the rain when fol
lowed by such a hot , muggy , rusting state
of the atrnosphero no prevailed today. The
price of wheat , however , was gcnei ally con
ceded to require readjusting with the
prices of the other markets of the coun
try and of the world , nnd there appeared
to be n feeling In the air that HOmu addi
tional fenstitlons from the present extraor
dinary weather will tie necessary to make
the neccfpary looked for readjustment of
prices In a manner favorable to the bulls.
The winter wheat crop l not supposed to
have received any benefit from the rain ,
but the speculative vigor which has been
HO conspicuous was notably relaxed today.
That was another reason advanced why the
IcvolInK down of prices hero to n parity
with the seaboard values should now bo In
order , nnd all 'the more , Feeing that In n
very short time there will be new wheat
on the market , nnd there 18 ctlll some old
left. The people who have been down In
the country , In Indiana nnd Illinois , have
no Idea that any readjustment of prices Is
likely unless ono shall first appreciate the
amount of damage to tliu crops of those
Btntos , which nothing so far published con
cerning them has bcKim to approach. Well
authenticated reports received today Indi
cate a stnto of affairs which nothing short
of ocular demonstration could convince the
short pit traders. Some of them paid the
failure of the crops was complete , and these
reports were accompanied by buying orders.
A f'reat number of long lines were Fold out
today , nnd toward the close the weak feelIng -
Ing became so pronounced that even the
regularly recognised short sellers Indulged
their Irrepressible propensity. After the
opening lit from 79c to 79'/4c nn advance to
SOc was gradually effected , and that proved
the highest point of the day. It declined
after that to 78-Kc , recovered to 79c and
then broke to 7Sc , the latter being the
price nt the clone.
Corn opened weak , and was notably so
during the session. General rains through
out the country and a showery condition
east of the river predicted for today gave
the market Its downward reaction. July ,
which clnf < > d on Wednesday nt Klc , opened
nt KJc , fellers , nnd few buyers nt above
fi2Mc. It declined In the course of the day to
f > 2c , which was the price prevailing a min
ute or two from the closing , but It reacted
to 62 > * c.
Kor a diorf. session trading In oats was
very heavy. Longs were selling freely on
the decline that prices experienced , and
offerings were quite readily taken up by
local parties and the crowd In general.
Kree selling , tofiether with the Inllnence of
wheat nnd corn , were the principal causes
of the drop In prices. A weaker cash mar
ket also aided somewhat. At the open
ing values were from IP to llfcc lower than
they closed on Wednesday. A rally fol
lowed , but another decline was right after
tt , nnd nt the close there was a. drop of
llic. July ranged from ffl'/ic to 30o nnd
clcs-Pd at 29c. September sold from ' > VjC
to 30'4c , resting at sl ic.
The provisions business was moderate In
volume at some decline In prlcoi. After nn
opening slump of from IDc to 7Ac In pork ,
from 2Vic to 7lic In lard nnd 7' , c In
rll > * , the Biibscniient fluctuations were light
nnd closing prices were not fnr from the
Btnrt , the latest trading showing the fol
lowing declines for the day : In pork 17'.e ,
lard Sc to lOc , nnd ribs 74c. } The board ad
journed nt noon out of respect to the mem
ory of the Into Secretary Gresham.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow : Wheat ,

NEW YOHK , Mny 31.-U. G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade will say : More far-
reaching than any other change during the
? ast week , really warranted by facts , Is
the continued rlso In prices of whent and
cotton. Heal scarcity of either would affect
all business. Happily there Is still room '
to hope that accounts of injury nre exag
gerated , nlthough thcro Is some evidence
[ luring the week that both the great crops
Imvo Buffered more than at first appeared.
Dthcr changes nre almost all favorable , and
! ome highly discouraging labor trou
bles nre clearly less threatening.
Monetary conditions are satisfactory ,
and the substantial Increase in
the commercial demand Is a good sign. Ex
change * through the clearing houses have betfi
greatly Inflated by speculation , and at thin
time ln t yi\ir were curtailed by the coal strike
and toward the end of May , 1893 , greatly re-
lucvd by bank failures , but for the week ex
ceed last year1 * by 19 per cent , and fall only
S.G per cent below those of 1893 , while the dally
ivernge for May I * 2C.9 per cent larger than
last year , but 7.1 lesa than In 1KI3.
Wheat Is largely supported by public buying
d the purchasing order * from farming re
gions uie eupiKxed to Indicate an opinion of the
yield. Yet wheat come * forward freely , a * It
would not nt current prices If a clioit crop
were assured , nnd western receipts for the
month have been 5,944,574 bushels , ngalnst 6,623-
! 33 last yenr. Nor do Atlantic exports rellect
Increared haste to buy abroad , amounting In
four weeks. Hour Included , to 6,183,42' ) bushel * ,
ngalnit 9,716,097 last year.
Cotton continue * strong because it Is believed
Uicio will bi > much reduction In yield per acre ,
as well as In acreage. N. > estimate based on
definite Information puts Hie decrease In acre
age' nt more than 13.4 per cent , which with n
yield per acie < qual to last year would mean n
crop of ' 8,410,000 bales. The market has been
acting ns If the future were known. The nd-
vnnce this week has only been a sixteenth , and
It I * supposed the stronger speculators have
icallzed. The manufacturer Is doing well ,
though not nil the machinery Is employed , but
the demnnd has been better and thele are occa
sional advances In prices of goods.
The Iron manufacturer Is gaining rapidly , and
the average of prices , which had fallen Febru
ary 1 to 64.1 per cent ot the prices In October ,
1891 , has now risen to 59.1 per cent , most of the
advance having1 been In May. Dessemer pig has
ueen It/ted to J11.C5 and grey forge to J10.40 , al
together by the growing demand ; tank steel
plates are J5 per ton higher nt Philadelphia
and nail producers have combined , raising wire
nails to J1.15 and cut nails tj Jl per hundred
by carloads at 1'lttsburg. The structural de
mand Is very large , and while the buying In
other forms of Iron and steel products la ntlll
cjnscrvatlve , great confidence prevail * that prices
will hereafter advance materially. It Is be
lieved the wage question will be settled nt Pitts-
burp this year without any strike.
Thu failures during the piiEt week have been
215 111 the Unlttd Slates , against 183 last year ,
and S4 Ui Canada , against 27 last year.

FUIDAY , May 31.
As Is usually the case on the day follow
ing n holiday , receipts were comparatively
light , 80 fnr this week the supply has
amounted to 6,126 cattle , 22.C31 hogs nnd 1.1SO
sheep. As compared with arrivals for the
corresponding live days last week this Is
an Increase of 1,100 cattle and n decrease
of 7,400 hogs nnd 800 sheep.
Tlio supply of cattle today was small nnd
the general quality of the receipts was
away below the average. There were no
good to choice beef cattle here , and the
comparatively few useful beef steers offered
would como under the head of poor to fair.
This applied to the western na well as the
native fed stock. The market was In most
respects simply a repetition of Thursday's
trade. Both the quantity and tne quality
of the offerlnfiB precluded the possibility of
speculative activity , while the reports from
other markets were In the main unfavor
able. Dressed beef men wanted some cat
tle , however , and bought up the limited
offerings at from W.CO to $4. ! > 3 , or at right
around steady prices.
The cow trade was In much the same con
dition as the market for fat cuttle. Good
stock was In active demand nnd strong ,
with common stuff slow sale and weak.
The supply of veal calves continues more
than ample for the requirements of the
trade , nnd as n result values remain away
down. Dullp , stag. , etc. , find a ready sale
at good , tlrm figures.
Potentially the stocker and feeder trade
was active , and considerably stronger.
Actually there waa comparatively llitlo
going on today In thlB line. The splendid
rains of the past tew days have not only
stimulated the demand , but have acted as
a check on supplies. There has not been
much Improvement In the country demand ,
but yard traders , figuring this as a surety ,
were good buyers at the advanced prices.
Good to choice feeders are quotable at from
$3 to ? 3.75 , fair to good at from J2.CO to $3 ,
and common grades from J2.CO down. Ilcpre-
sentatlve sales :

WASHINGTON , May 31. P. II. Newell ot
tlio geological survey has completed his
flflli pamphlet on tlio results ot stream
measurement In tlio United States. Special
attention 1ms been paid throughout to a
knowledge of tlio water resources of these
parts of tlio .country where water Is of
the greatest value. Gauging stations Imvo
been established In most of the largo bnslns
of the west , and especially In the upper
Missouri , Yellowstone , 1'latto , Itlo Gramie.
Olla and Dear rivers. In these rivers tlio
dally flow of the water was measured anil
the mean flow calculated for each month
of the year. In most uf the arid regions
the How was greatest In May nnd June ,
though In some places it continued very
large throughout tlio first half of July.
The solution of the problem by which tlio
surplus waters during these months can bo
restrained for use In July and August de
pends somewhat on the flow of the rivers
and Mr. Nowell's measurements arc ex
pected to bo of value la simplifying the
problem. In more arid portions of the
southwest thcro Is not water enough to
Irrigate all the lands , no matter bow care
fully It might be stored.
The general government has absolute *
title to nearly one-third the areii of the
United States , excluding Alaska. With the
exception of certain areas v.'lthln the In
dian reservations , the public lands of the
west arc mainly within the arid or scml-
arld region. In order to throw light upon
ono of the many phases of the Inquiries
concerning the water resources , a thor
ough Investigation was mndo as to the
population of the lands of the national
domain. The results show that settlement
has followed the streams of the great west
to a remarkable extent and that It haa
clustered about ( he foothills of the higher
mountain ranges , which , from their abrupt
ness of topography , Insure a perennial sup
ply of water for Irrigation.
Coming down to the details , the pamphlet
shows that the upper Missouri , about Hel
ena , Mont. , drains a basin of 18,000 squar * >
miles. Its flow In May and June varies
from 9,000 to 13,000 second feet per month.
In December , January and February , the
lowest months , the flow falls to 3,000 feet
per month. The Yellowstone , above Cin
nabar , drains 2,700 square miles , and Its
flow Is from G.OOO to lu DOO second feet per
month In Juno and July. During the first
three months of the year It falls as low
as 300 second feet per month.
The Arkansas , above Canon , Kan. , drain *
3,000 pqtrnro miles. Its flow Is varlabla
oscillating In May , June , July and August
between COO and 3,000 second feet , and
the remainder of the year never rising-
above COO. Many large canals take water
from It , and .when tlio.se now building are
completed , the entire flow of the river
will not supply them. In some places
"underflow" canals havu also been duff
to catch the water that cnmcs beneath the
bed of the river , oven when it appears to >
TV * ; !
bo entirely dry , and a flow of a few feet
has been obtained.
The Hlo Grande drains 30,000 square miles ,
above 131 Paso , Tex. In May and June It
discharges from 2,000 to G.OOO second feet
there , am1 at other times , especially tlio
last part of the year , it is often entirely
dry.Hear
Hear river , nbovo Colllnston , Utah , drains
6,000 square miles and runs well from April
to July , varying front 3,000 to 8,000 second
feet. During the next two months , how
ever , from 700 to 1,300 is all that can bo
hoped for.
