CHICAGO. Mny 21. The wheat market
was weak and lifeless today. Lower cables
encouraged the bears and they maintained
H steady selling pressure throughout the
uctslon , crowdlnB the closing figures to Tie
below those of yesterday. Corn was Inde-
HiLtidcntly llrm on covering by Phorts and
closed unclmiiRcd. The same cause closed
provisions at advances of from 2V4c to 10o ,
Init oatu followed wheat nnd lost He for
July.
Wheat at Liverpool opened Ud lower and
Siad declined V d more before trading started
3iere. The drop was said to bo owing to
very favorable weather for wheat In the
. "United Kingdom. The weather hero was
chilly and therefore less suggestive of ac-
itlvlty among the Insect enemies ot tho.
rwbeat plant , Those changes In the general
durroundlngs were apparently tha cause of
lh from Ho to lie decllno with which July
anil Hoptembcr wheat started here , the
former selling at the start at from 71V4o to
7Ic , and the latter ( Wic and GfiVic. Some
buying orders came In from the northwest
shortly nftcr the opening , and that , with
Home buying against shorts , steadied the
market at the decllno for a time. The. preB-
nuro ot selling orders was kept up , however ,
nnd persistent dropping of that kind worn a
flesh hole In the markut , through which the
prlco dropped to "OTdc. Chicago receipts
rwuro 11 cars and 1M.OOO bushels were In-
upected out of store. Minneapolis nnd
ajiilmh received 178 cars , against ; Hli a week
ugo and 293 on the corresponding day of last
year. Shipments from Uuluth worn 231,000
bushels. The elevator stocks of Minneapolis
( iris estimated to pliow a decrease of 5 0,000
bushels for the week and of Duluth a do-
crunso of r.0.000 bushels , or 800,000 at the
two places together. The most general estl-
anato of the change In thu visible supply
was 2.000,000 bushels. The day's exports
from the Atlantic seaboard amounted In
wheat and Hour together to about 420,000
il.UHhels. Closing cables reported Liverpool
yA lower for thu day. Paris 20 centimes
lilgbnr and Antwerp 12'A ' centimes higher.
aierlln half a mark lower. Huslness was of
a very sm.ill local and professional kind
nnd the prlco of July wheat , after the break
recorded above , kept close around 70c dur
ing the remainder of the day and that was
itho closing price.
In the corn pit , although the trade was
nmnlt and wheat weak , there was more dls-
ro.'ltlon to buy corn already short than to
odd do previously existing lines on that side
of the maiket. The day's receipts , which
were estimated yesterday at 315 cars , proved
to number only 2fin. Kxports from the At
lantic ports were 213,960 bushels. July corn
opened at 24V4 : the range was from ZVik ®
24 HO to 21c and the closing quotation was
Speculative trade In oats was slow. The
feollni ; wan easy and prices droppeil off a
pop , Int-Koly In sympathy with wheat. July
opened Vic lower ut ] 8c , anil after u Uc
ranso , closed at the opening- figure ,
The provision market was relatively the
moat notlvo of the speculative centers. It
win strong and lilRhcr from the start , Much
of the Imylns was thouKht to he for the nc-
< ! ount of the Cuilahy lirothers. Thu clay's
run of hots wan 24,000 head , or 3,000 under
yrsterday'B Mtlmato. July pork closed lOc
lilffhor. July Inrd 2Vic up und July rlh 7o

Weekly Kovlcw of Trade tomorrow will say :
Unmistakable evidence of Impi-ovement corned
In the general Increase tt commercial loans ,
mostly for castrrn merchants or companies ,
though some well known hour-en In the middle
West appear with considerable re-dlscounl from
_
Kot for n lonp time have commercial lonni
been fully hnlf the whole. The distinct change

from the Interior exceeds Milpmonts JlHiO. ! X ) ,
mostly fronv the middle xv t. Ilxports of KOld
have no Influence , nnd only signify the wllllnE-
ni's uf nu Mn to pay n price for the gold needed.
The excess of merchandise Itnporta to answer
demands for hnlf a year to corne Involves a
Krcntcr CXCCMI or exirorta when the nntlclpntory
movement ends und crops bcKln t move , whlcli
fact Rives the country a stronger position In In
ternational markets. Meanwhile there Is a con
tinuing Increane , distinct though gradual , In the
volume ot Implncas In demand for products of
manufacture , nnd , considering the time of year.
In movement of grain and produce.
Western wheat receipts exceed Inst year's for
the week. belnR S.miM bushels , BKulnst 1.73S.OSS
hushels lint year , nnd Atlantic exports were 1,670-
813 bushels. Hour Included , against 1.302,491
bushcla la t year , nnd for three weeks 4,778,71 !
bushels , against J.SS'i.'jtO bushels last year.
Western receipts ot corn were lC5ti.G77 binhols ,
nKalnst 1,493,670 bushels last year , nnd Atlantic
exports 2,1SSS23 bushels , ngalnst 1COS,748 bush
els lost year , notwithstanding the enormous In
crease hitherto. Wheat again cheated hopeful
buyers nnd fell nearly 4c , closing 3V4c lower tat
the week. Corn was a simile weaker.
Cotton once more hopefully advanced to 7e ,
but fell back to 7c. with poor support here or
abroad , lloth the volume' of stocks nnd the con
dition of domestic find foreign markets for goods
hinder advance , and later acreage reports lire
better.
The Iron Industry has quite nn Increase In
new business , though not In all branches. 1'nrt
waa duo tn the rupture ot the steel beam pool ,
and the fall In price from J1.S3 to il.'i nomi
nally tpioted , and some good structural con
tracts were nt once secured. Part Is duo to a
bolter demand for plates nnd for pipe , ot which
one largo contract for Indiana fields was placed
and part to growing needs for cars nnd vessels.
There Is also some Increase In rod.i. though the
season for wire and nails Is Hearing nn end ,
because of im expected pool of rod mills. Ixjw
southern freight rates marketed n little more
Iron at the. north and eastern foundry Is slightly
lower , with gray forge only is.25 nt I'lttsburg.
Thu Carnegie works are now turning out 3,000
tons ot rails dally , nearly all on old orders , and
exports of finished products Increase. Sales of
copi > er , said to IK ; nearly 60.000.000 poiinrta , Imve
stiffened the price to llV4c for lake , nnd tin
rose to U'ic , In spite of large arrivals , though
lend was weaker nt ? 3.2T. and tlnplates at 13.30.
Coke Is also n ( hade lower.
Sales of wool decrease , though still greater
thnn when all the mills were busy , but manu
facturers are doing scarcely anything , most of
their possible demand for months ahead having
been supplied. Western holders begin to offer
at Ic to Hie lower than of late. Woolen goods
are dull , but prices arc flrnv. The strike of clot'.i-
Ing hands here somewhat restricts the new de
mand. Cotton goods ore without change In prices ,
print clothu still at the lowest on record and the
demand Is still Indifferent , with talk ot tem
porary closing ot mllla at the south.
Failures for the week have been 243 In the
United States , against 277 last year , and 37 in
Canada , ngulnst 2S last year.

Irregularity In prices ifrm n complete profes
sional fpeculatlon havtt lfcen witnessed In Wnll
street this week. The discussion of the Cuban
question him kept the public out of the markets
nnd cnuse-d London to nvoM our securities for
the time , though prices of Americans there * > m-

The tarllt bill' 1ms beea for the time bclnir ob-
fcured by the more Interestlntf developments In
tonnectlon with our foreign relations nnd Amer-
can Sug-ar stock has been letu active than usual

he amended sugar schedule will be rejected. The
narket , ai a whole , Iwhnved well nn Trlilny , In
he fare of the adoption of the Morgan Cuban
belligerency resolution by the fenate on Thurs-
lay pvenlnff. them was no demoralization of
prices , the minds of speculators having nppar-
ntly been , prepared for such an outcome of the
OKltntlon and s'.iort coverhiR caused a. pretty
Benernl Improvement In prices nt the close.
Thn street paid little or no attention to Hie
Bold tdilpplnir outlook or the forelKn cxchanffu

ewer rates , and the only Bold exported this
Week Is Jl,200,000 by Kuropcan steamers. The
( lould stocks , which recently were the object of
so much bear pressure have been neglected at
slight recoveries.

NEW YOUK , May 21. The stock market was
relieved today ot some part of the pressure ot
icavy liquidation In Uie coalers and especially
Jew Jersey Central and Chicago 5as , which
mve been the- heaviest drnn upon It for several
lays past. The latter stock showed some strength
odny on n renewal of faith In favorable action by
he Illinois legislature on the consolidation bill ,
s'ew Jersey Central also recovered nbout 2 points
'rom the lowest of the day on quite n heavy
covering movement. The underlying strength
of the movement was thus allowed to assert
tsclf to some extent , nnd was helped by some
special strength In Individual stocks with the
result that the day's trading brought fractional
Rains all through the list. Hut while the tcn-
lency ot prices was upward , the market was
licking In buoyancy , nnd vas dull nnd apathetic ,
: he denlhiRU being1 In tha strictest sense pro-
'esslonal nnd very small , and the variations ,
outside ft few special casts , very narrow. A
feature of the market for the last few days has
> een the small volume of dealings In Sugar.
Efforts have been apparent at different times
-ecently , to reprca ? any marked upward move
ment In this stock since the tariff bill has been
reported to the tenatc. The restricted dealings
n a droopInK market would be a natural con
sequence of this tendency. The engagement for
export ot J2,500CCO of gold from here had no
Kreat effect on the markets. The shipment Is
said to bo In settlement iof bills of exchange
eold during the week. , . The probability Is that
such exchange ns Is "being called for Is being
settled by gold shipmentseven , at the low price
ot exchange prevailing ' and this IH considered to
> e not unlikely ti > contluui- . The week's Im-
lorts ot dry goods nt .New ! York were valued nt
! 2S73,374. which IH a jJi-Qrcaj-c of J423.S81 , com-
jared with last week. Jf.ls probable that the
mports of general merchandise at this port tn he
reported tomorrow will thow n proportionate
'afllng oft , the decrcascda'customs receipts rc-
; > orted from day to da > v foreshadowing such u
result and accounting In. purt for the llgtit de
mand for exchange. ij n.ndon did pome buying
In the New York stock market today , ' nnd was
a factor In the upward loriQency of prices. New
Jemey Central and Chlcagt/ Gas again absorbed
about one-third .of theitotsl dealings today , the
aggregate sales M > all stocks , being only 112.CH , )
shares. New Jersey Central's range was 2 %
per cent , and a net ealn.'bfllH Per cent. Lnck-
awanna anil lelaware. > fe II idson also Improved ,
the former 1V4 per cent , and the latter i per
fent. Chicago Gas , GencrAl lilectrlc and Man
hattan also gained ( . | ) , nt each on " the
day , the latter on rcpKrls , afterward denied , , that
the new motive powertoirtie adopted had'been
determined upon. The-rallways. , practically all
clcued higher ; OmaJa."lcadlng. ) with a gain of
? i per cent. There was good buying In Western
Union , resulting In a rls& of % per cent on the
day. Tobacco was heavy and lost a 'large frac
tion. The closing--was strong , though dull ,
and practically tit the top prices of the day.
The bond market ruled quiet and uninteresting ,
with a slight tendency toward u higher plane.
The St , I outs & San Francisco securities were
prominent In the npeculatlon. with the general
5s rallying l',4 per cent , nnd general 6s 1 per
cent. The aggregate sales were JS77.COO. Gov'-
ernments were neglected , but generally llrm.
The sales were J10.000.
The Kvcnlnpr Post's London llnanclal cable
gram says : "The stock markets have grown
quieter as the settlement approaches , but the
tone today was distinctly good. Consolu hardened
at the close on the success of the Indian loan.
Foreigners were stiong. notably Turks. Knlllrn ,
after a period of dullness , closed strong. I learn
that n syndicate wan formed some time back ,
principally of Horlln nnd Amsterdam capital , ot
about 230,000 , to operate In Kalllrs. At the
beginning of the recent rise about 300.COO Is
said to have been , laid * out on which huge profits
have been taken In the last few years. Such
a factor on a bear market goes far to explain
the recent little boom In mines. The Paris and
Derlln markets were llrm. "

day and the quality of the fat cattle was
none too ( rood. The market as avholo was
slow ; id dull , tnc trade beliiK entirely
devoid of new or Inlorostlng features.
Ucef Hteers sold a little castor , the weak
ness naturally beliiK the most pronounced
on the common and half-fat stuff. Sales
men wore slow to cut loose at the bids and
buyers seemed In no hurry to till orders , so
that comilderable time was consumed In
effecting a clearance.
Butchers' stock did not show much
ohanjce , the market on desirable cows and
buffers beliiK fully steady , to nay the leant.
Veal calves ans lower. The packers have
come , apparently , to the conclusion that
they have been paying too much. Still an
hlKh as Ji > was paid for choice veal. This
city butchers were strong buyers and that
fact helped to hold up the market.
Stockers and feeders were In light supply
and the market was just about steady.
