DuMness In cvery- 'ihlng on 'chanKO toelay was restricted by thr forthcoming government crop reports , Wheat was weakpartlj * on nccount of the Cuban situation , partly on the steadily In creasing contract stocks anil closed W ? io lower. Corn , oats nnd provisions showed little chance. Dullness us marked ns nt < iny tlmo dur ing the holiday season marked the opening In wheat. There wan u good deal of un certainty regarding the figures on farm rc- Rerves In tha forthcoming crop report nnd traders as a consequence were unwilling to KO deeper either way than they were nl- rcndy. This feeling , In fnct , was marked throughout the session and the market at no tltnu exhibited any real decree of activ ity. The start was easier. Liverpool c.i- bl ° s ucle disappointing , showing about ? d deellnp. News from Washington regarding the Spanish complications wns also ot a more disturbing character and another big tiddltlon to the stocks of contract wheat til Chicago was reported. Chlc.iBO receipts today were S2 cars , 21 of which weto of contract quality , besides which 41 cats nnd 10 , ; ) bushels were added from Irregular bouses , making over 20',0 ' < )0 ) bushels from tills source In the last threu days. With this news to hand short sellers and weak- kneed holders forced n reduction In pi lees from the start , July opening at SO&fjWHie and May Vic lower at S1.01V& . For nearly Jialf im hour prices kept within nfc , radius. Then , helped by un Improvement In corn , which took pile ? nbout that time and also liy ttiu prediction of freezing weather over the west nnd southwest , pilccs Improved a trllle , July to WiC and May to II.UIVi. It was but temporary , however. Though no Helling pressure of consequence dn eloped there wa.s for the rest of the HPHslon almost an entire absence of buying ordeiB for July , nnd that- delivery slowly lint Hiirely gravitated toward a lower level. Mny for some time held fairly llrm , traders being apparently afr.ild to sell that de livery , but the weakness In July finally eii- cour.iged them and orfeilius became free enough to cause n drop to $1.01. At that Iirlce the brokers cirnu In with buying or ders and no furtfler decline ensued. Min neapolis and Dultith reported receipts of 2.11 cars , HLMilnst 27. ! last week and 32S a year ago. Atlantic port clearances , not In cluding Newport News , were fairly local at ISI.VO ) bushels. Paris was higher' and Antwerp unchanged. Not much was done In the futures. September was traded In In limited extent , opining He lower at StVKc. It Hold as high as Mo. but dropped Inck and closed at the opening llgures. July Ilnally weakened to OOKc and closed nt WfffVic. May wound up at $1.01. Corn was under the Influence of the gov ernment crop report. Expectations that It would be of a bullish nature caused some covering by shorts early In the session , which resulted In a fair advance In prices. There was some re-selling later In the day with wheat. Wet weather piob.ibly affected early buying a little. March ranged from 30'4 to M'lc and closed % c higher at SO c. There was only a small scalping trade In oats , with prices keeping within the Uc range. The dullness was duo to the forth coming government report. During the morning the market showed strength In - .Bympithy with corn , but lost It later. May runKcd from 27'/4c to 2ric and closed > tc lower at 20c. Provisions were rather Inactive , but fairly steady , lard having the best support. Some inclination to sell by local traders was nbown at drst , but small hog receipts and the strength of corn resulted In a better demand and an advance In prices. Everything thing- moved off with grain , however , the close being stendy. May pork closed 2Hc lovveri ot $10.27K' . May lard a shade higher nt $ > , -2 < , and Mny ribs a shade lowci at $ j.i : > .

Today's stock market showed a further contraction In volume of deal ings and an npathetlo tone to the trading , which Indicated the prevailing deposition to refrain from cpecitlitlve activity until conditions b-came continued uneasiness regarding morn settled. There Is garding the Cuban situation , which find * Its re- llectlon In the large offerings of secuiltlts on any substantial advance. It Is evident nl n that thn present condition- far as Known , do not warrant u fuithei violent decline In price- the early dealIngs - There was a strenuous attempt In Ings today to mark up prices to pinch smill bear tt.ulers and prolwbly nlso to realize at the higher level This maneuver , which proved so succt"- ful vestrrday and Tuesday , brought out i > uelj abundant offerings that It was FOCH nlnndoned and the bears retained control of the Held fnr the reft of the day. A small amount of arbitral ? " buying for the lonn no-mint aided the early re- sl tnme to the decline and the strength of stocks tended to the ame end. St 1'nul vws well supplied 111 nntlclpitlon ot the dlvllenl deelarn- tlrn. which wai at the rate of S per tent per nniutn , nlthouKh the Increase over the recent rate wns called an exlia dividend The strength In * jt. Paul ns compared with the other grangers drew It nnd llurllnston tcgether nnd their prlc"s crossed during the day , St I'aul vleliled In the llnal dealings and fell to the lowest of the day Tobacco v\as al o strong and helped to sustain the specialties Its tone was decidedly feverish I'ltt burg. Cincinnati . < L St Louis underwent n remarkable series i f lluctuat'ons ns low as 41 % anil as hlghi as 4le. apparently due to n contest between rival speculators to uncover each other's miigln. The stock clo ed unchanged. The un settled and uneasy tone on foreign exchanges , especially the weakness of Hpinlsh 4s In London nnd 1'nrls. helped materially to defc-at the efforts to advance prices. The continued Influx of gold failed to have nny effect In stutnlnlng the mar ket. Neither did It pave the foreign cxclnnge market from falling nn additional fraction There was n perceptibly easier tone In the rate ? for call money nnd loans at the close were mnde nt 2\i per cent. Lenders nrc still loath to make time loans. A large part of today's selling was attributed to Washington nccount. There Is no doubt thnt thn benrs employed the usual chnn- nels for Washington selling for the sake of the effect and they accompanied It todnv by the cir culation of senBat'onnl tumors legardlng develop ments In the Cuban situation. Ilecnusp of last week's 'Washington pelllne previous to the pub lication of the news of General Lee's requested recall , the market Is extremely sensitive to nny demonstration from that quarter. Today's net declines are about 1 po'nt or over on all the list and effectually wipe out the ellsturlionce of yes terday nnd the day before. lionds were weak throughout the day In sympathy with stocks , the speculative Issues leading the decline.

The livening Post's London financial cablegram savs : The stock markets here remained qultt today during the progress of the settlement. There were no fresh political scares , but the mir- kels were weakened because of fears of tomor row. Large dealings have been made In Grand Trunk. Americans nnd Ilrnzlls.

UH- against 2,801 yesterday , 1.GJ2 n week aero and 1.5S2 two v.ki 11150. Al- tnough It was the smallest run of ; he week to date- the receipts were larcer than usual ot late on Thursday. Thursday , however , Is a poor day for n largo run , as shippers are Invariably absent from the market on that day. This ban come to be such a marked featuie of the day's trade that sell ers have In many cases wained shippers not to send In any heavy shipping or ex port stccis on Thursday. nniSF STH13US T.ic supply of corn-fed cattle was only moderate , as compared with other days this week , but It was plenty large for the good of the maikct. There was also a falling oft In the quality of the cattle , as compared with yesterday , there not bolng so many or us good cattle today , With shippers' ' and buyers of export cattle absent from the market , the packers had everything their own way nnd they were In clined to take advantage of the situation to set the cattle cheaper. Prices have been advancing at u very rapid rate the past few days , unit when buyers had the opportunity It Is not to l > o wondered al that they took off 5 < B10c. As n result ol the bearing of the market the trade was o little slow , but In the end a clearance was- effected. UUTCHERS' STOCK-Thcre was no greal number of cows nnd heifers on sale , while at the Kline time there was quite a brisk de mand. Local packers wanted cows anil heifers and they went after them early Ir the morning. The result was a fairly ac tive market , with values fully steady , ani In some cases a little higher. Buyers wort claiming that their purchases cost then- more than yesterday. STOCK CATTLE There were a few stockers anil feeders In the ynrdf. but noi many , and the market could hardly bo sale to have developed any especially new fea tures except that values were stronger.
