CHICAGO , May 27. Weak outside mar-
Acts and a fast growing belief In another
Inrgo wheat crop made.cnsy Railing for the
bears today and caused a decline of ? fcc.
Corn lest USHc of Its previous value nnd
oata closed a shade lower. Provisions ruled
heavy , but closed at only trilling declined.
In wheat the tendency nf the price was
downward for the most part , although start
ing firm and n. little higher than It clos-cd
yeilerday. July wan wanted at the openlnx
nt from 70c .to "OUo. hut the ahorts whose

heaviness und brokr. Us tircVlutm bounds ,
reaching GV' GOHic by nuoii. The early
Hewn was not of a character to Inlltionce

Liverpool -wnt' scarcely the sriulvolcnt of the
drop here nnd nt any rate , fiom having
been expected , It did not attract much at
tention. Receipts nt Chicago were four

worth to pcnrc thebulls. . A break of lu at
Bt. I < ouls , caused probably by the nearness
of the time when new -wheat will comu on
that market , went a long way toward ac
centuating the weakness of the local mar-
Vet. The trade was active , while the break
WIIH In progress and It continued In a , ner
vous condition for half nn hour therc-aftor.
July recovered from 3 < fW , < ; 0'ic ' to CS f/OS' , * .

G9'ic for a time before It dipped to GV c. Tne
lattsl trading wt'.s nt G'JKc ,
Corn was weak , with prices tivrrnghiK'
under yesterday's clow. The talk was that
rect'lptH next week will average POO earn a
dav. There was a hlir cash trade , but
holders of fututes lliiiililntfl and the mar-
hot was lower from the start. Receipts were
734 tyirs. July opened a shade lower at 2lc ,
eold nt 2lf2IVfc ( ' , , then declined to 2Sic , where
it closed.
Oats were steady at n shade under yes
terday's close , the slight decline b Ing
caused by local rocclpls of 4.3 cars. The
shipping demand wns not ro good , but offer
ings west showed a falling oft. Good sup
ort : was given the market at the destine ,
$ u'.y opened unchanged nt l"V ' 71"c , de
dined tit 17c and recovered to nc , where
It closed.
I'rovlslons were oppressed by n large run
of hogs and the weak grain markets.
Liquidation and some Miort selling caused
nn early decline , but before the close nearly
all of this had been recovered. At the close
July pork WIIH 2l&c lower at } S , , luly lard n
shade lower at $3.CO and Juy ! ribs about 5c

Stroiiixtli IN Checkfil by a Sln'nip In

NEW YOIIK , May 27. The market was quite
strong for a time today , but the rather BHIS.I-
tlonnl slump In the Huhhcr s'.iarea and the large
felling of llaltlmore & Ohio put a stop to the
rice and ulto to the activity of the trading ,
The volume of the dealings In all stocks for the
three hours of trading after the noon hour was
only about one-third of that for the two hours
before noon. The lack of conndence In the sta
bility of values on the part of the professional
traders , who mill control tile market nlnioft al
together , was Illustrated by the promptitude
with which they proceeded to take prollts on
rather slight provocation. There who are doing
the bulk of the trading are now evidently In
the market for a short turn , though there was
some continuance of the civil commission house
buying , which Indicates awakened outside In
terest In the market. The fall In the Hubber
elmrtu wan coupled with a rumor that It was
caused by liquidation of Interests retiring on
account of the declination of a te-electlon ot
Preiildent Evans. This accentuated the decline
without the sales reaching an extraordinary vol.
ume. After an extreme decline of 35i per cent
for the common stock and 4fc per cent for the
preferred thete stocks rallied rather strongly ,
the common closing nt 12 and the preferred at
COV4. All the fcecurltles of I'M llaltlinoro & Ohio
that were dealt In showed continued heaviness
on the belief tlmt the company will default
on Us June llret Interest payments. Borne ten-
tlmental effect was exerted upon Sugar stock
by the trial of the president of the company
for contempt of the senate , but the dlimlssal
of the case ut Washington yielded no ruhstaiitial
benefit to thlH clock , The market was remark
ably dull ut the periods ol decline. London
appeared to be a ready buyer of nearly all the
Inlei national stocka when they fell below the
new London pailty. Tile total purchniei for

CATTLE After the1Ia runs of the past
two days the receipts looked small this
morningns there were reported In only
fifty-nine loads , as against 157 yesterday
and 1S5 on Tuesday. About half of the cat-
tie were cornfed beeves of fair quality ,
but nothing very exit-it.
The demand was good for nil kinds of
cattle and the market reasonably active , BO
that an early clearance was effected.
Desirable cornfed steers commanded
strong yesterday's prices and the market
was at least steady on other kinds. The
most of the cattle were sold at $4.00j'4.30.
Butchers' stock pold freely at steady to
strong prices nnd the demand wns mine-lent
to soon absorb the ten or n dozen loads on
sale. I r
Stocksrs and feeders sold nt about yester
day's prices. The supply was small nnd the
cattle In first hands' were all taken early.

The reduction of California ratca on ac
count of the Christian Knxlcavor convention
rally In July has brought about the reduction
of rates on all the local lines from Omaha to
points between hero and San Francisco for
the period Just before the convention con
venes and between here nnd Chicago Just
after the close of the convention. Passen
ger men are looking for a lurgo amount of
travel In the fore part of July , not only to
the Pacific coast but to Intermediate points.
Whllo the rate from here to Sun KranclBco
will bo $22,50 , there will bo cheap rates
offered for shorter distances on these days :
Juno 29 and 30 , and .Inly 1 , 2 and 3. From
Chicago to Omaha the fare will be J7.75 ; to
Colorado common points , $12.BO , and to Utah
points , $20. From St. Louis to Omaha the
faro will be $7.75 ; to Colorajjo common
points , $10.50 , and to Utah points f IS.
From July 15-20 Inclusive and on every
Thursday and Sunday thereafter till August
12 , there will be offered a rate of $9,25 from
Omaha to Chicago , and of J10.G5 from here to
St. Louis. On throe dates the rates from
the west to Qmaha will bo reduced as fol
lows : From Utah points , $18.50 ; from Grand
Junction , Colo. , $17.60 , and from Colorado
common points , ? 10.
It will bo noticed that the westbound
ratca have been cut much lower than the
eaatbound rates. The Christian Endeavor
rates , however , are the same both ways.
Just why the Intermediate rates should ho
cut lower from Chicago westward than east
ward from the coast Is a matter that can bo
explained only by the passenger olllctals of
the western roada , who combined together
and agreed upon the ratca announced. An
other little matter that can be explained
only by these officials la how rates may still
bo agreed upon and Issued from the odlces
of the Western Passenger association by its
chairman , the supreme court decision against
the trnnsmlssourl freight rate committee
to the contrary notwithstanding.
The lines east of Chicago have agreed with
the western lines to make reduced rates Of
ono and one-third regular faro for the round
trip for the following occasions : Congrega
tional Homo Missionary society , Saratoga
Springs , N. Y. . June 1-3 ; Loyal Legion of
United States , Detroit , June 2 ; National As
sociation of Master Plumbers , New York ,
June 15-10 ; American Whist league , Toledo ,
July 5-10. Western lines will also grant re
duced rates of one nnd one-third regular
faro for the round trip from all points In
Nebraska for the meeting of Knights and
Daughters of Tabor at Atchlson , July 12-10.

The crew of a Union Pacific extra eastbound -
bound freight had an exciting experience
near Nichols , on the third Nebraska division ,
at a. late hour Wednesday night. Flro wtm
discovered In a furniture car loaded with
wool. Every effort wns made to BBVO the
car and Its contents , but with no avail. The
train was cut and the ear turned over on
It aide but the wool kept right on burning.
The entire carload of wool , as well as the
car , were burned completely.
The wool was being shipped to Hollowell
& Donald of Hoston nnd was from Mountain
Home , Idaho. The origin of the flro Is un
known. As the locomotive was throwing out
no fire at tbq time , nnd as the car was
tightly sealed , It Is thought the flro origi
nated from spontaneous combustion.
