% c. May started at $ l,4t/Q1.47 , a drop of Sfj )
4u. Thcuo losses were entirely nttrlbutn-

wanted to realize and found a concession
necessary. But the market soon began to
give symptoms of recovery. Before the

on the run and July had sold up to $1.02
Domestic statistics were of no sliftilllcnnco
t'xcc-pt that primary receipts afforded little
indication of supply exhaustion nnd on-
touratffd short selling of distant futures.
Jlesltimcy tn this market apparently nf-
fc-clcd Iho foreigners and Liverpool cased
off until at the clo < e not- gains there were
limited to 2 3-Sd In July. Strong outside

nullified the demand at $1.50 and the closa
was nt $1.49 bid. July cased oft to $1.00 %
near the close , rallied to $1.01V1 , closing IHo
not lower nt $ lQljsullcrs. Lelter reported

und planting operations were reported gen

There Are I3ciitent of Strength , bui
the Market HhnwH a Lou * .
NEW YORK , May 6. There were strlkln ;
elements of strength In today's stock mar
ket , notwithstanding the fact that mos
of the day's changes are on the Vldo o
losses. The bull element had several sc
vere drawbacks to contend with and tin
selling pressure on the market wan at timei
heavy. The buying demand was sufllclen
to overcome all obstacles and to absorb n !
offerings , carrying prices upward on a largi
volume of business. It was not until tin
final hour that the market finally sue
cumbed to the burden of liquidation anc
yielded practically all earller gains and es
tabllshed losses ranging up to 2 per cent li
some of the specialties. American stock :
were heavy In London before the opentnt
hero In sympathy with a general depres
slotv In that market. Although prices-
international stocks had declined to nearl :
a point below last night's New York clos
Ing , there was sufficient demand hero n
the opening to overcome the greater par
of London's decline , lly establishing i
range of prices here above the London par
Ity arbitrage selling was " made prolltnbl
and Inviting. The selling" for London ac
count was heaviest for many weeks am
was estimated at 60,000 shares at least. Th
dragging tendency of this sailing was easll ;
perceptible in the International stocks dur
ing the morning. But the balance of th
list showed a disposition to forge aheai
on Its own account. Rock Island , Omaha
Northwestern , New York Central and th
southwestern stocks .were conspicuous ! ;
strong , the.latter on the excellent prospect
for the winter wheat crop , in the southwest
The International stocks themselves wer
pretty well absorbed , the foreign offering
being largely absorbed. Some of 'the spu
claltlcu wore conspicuously strong , notabl ;
Tobacco. The market showed a tendenc :
quite late In the day , nftcr the Lontlon-ol
ferlngs had been absorbed , to rally strong !
on a report that cable comimmltntlo
had been established with Manila and Com
modore Dewey. The capture of the steame
Lafayette under the French flag assume
growing Importance in the eyes of trader
during the last hour , and Induced selling t
realize , and dealing In shorts by bean
which carried prices to the lowest of th
day at the close , when the sellln movc
ment was still actively In force. The rt
sumption of the gold Import movcmer
has been cited as a bull argument , lit
the withdrawals of gold from London tin
Europe have resulted In a renewal of strlr
gent money conditions there. This in tun
however , weakened the speculative marke
and has Induced large selling of American
because of the good market for them ei
Istlng here , and more particularly the r <
llevlng of the demand for exchange. Tb
Indications were that the New York mai
ket would have successfully absorbed th
had it not been for the Lafayette eplsod
which caused timidity among dealer

GHXKKAL The early arrivals of stock
numbered only 225 cars , but there was ono
heavy train reported back , which brought
It up to 2bO cars. Theru wcru more than
double yesterday's number jt cars hero
and It was a liberal run for n Friday. For
several weeks past the receipts of a Fri
day have barely rcnhcd 200 cars and fre
quently they have fallen considerably below
that point. Considering the condition that
country roads must bo It , It was quite sur
prising that receipts should be so largo
and It would look as If farmers and feed
ers wcro anxious und ready to sell.
OATTLK The early arrivals of cattle
wcro only 115 loads , but thu fact that there
wus one train back , and that thu total
receipts were unusually large for a Friday ,
Beomed to cuuso buyers to hesitate , and U
was late boforu the market really opened
or before anyone got down to business.
The Ilrst bids on fat cuttle weru mean
enough for anyone , nnd the talk early was
that thu market would be lower. As the
shippers began moving about there was an
Increased show of lite and desirable fat
and smooth cattle of light und medium
weights soon began Helling and at prices
not materially different from yesterday.
The most of the cattle thnt would answer
to that description changed hands In good
season. Heavy and coarse caltlo were
slow. That has been the rule so long that
It would hardly seem necessary to repeat
what might bu taken for grunted. Kvcn
If they sell at steady prices couise cattle nro
left to the last und discriminated uculint
to an extent that makesi the market seem
week or easier every day. One bunch ot
cholco white faces sold this morning nt
$1.85 , showing that good cattle arc wanted.
A cow that came In with thu same lot and
welched over l.COO sold at $4.25.
There was very little hero In the way of
butchers' stock , very few cows and heifers
being reported in the yards. As there was
a very fair demand , holders did not find It
nt'all ' dlfllculfto eftcct a clearance ut fully
steady , and In some cases strong prices.
Hulls , stags and calves sold at Just about
steady prices , und the demand was sulll-
clently largo to effect a reasonably early
clearance.
Not enouzh stock cattle were on sale to
make any showing whatever. Values on
that kind of stock do not show any ma
terial clmnse and the trade was without
inow feature of Importance. Keprosent&tlvo

0 HOGS About 108 cars of hogs were o :
sale today , as against sixty-one yeistcrda :
and ninety-two n wock ago. The quality
na usual , was good on an average am
buyers could Und .most anything the ;
wanted.
Yesterday's provision market was weal
nnd today's receipts were of liberal pro
portions at all-market points , which seemc
to confirm buyers In their bearish vluwt
the feeling , among buyers being apparent !
that about the top had been reached. Thl
feeling was so strong that , although rathe
encouraging reports were received from th
east , it did not help matters much , buyer
In many cases giving it out that they Jnus
have a Sc reduction.
A few loads .however , sold early at abou
steady prices , but they were loads the
just happened to suit buyers' needs nn
might ba regarded as scratch sales. Aftc
the first few loads had changed hands !
became very dull. Buyers were holdln
out for n reduction , whllu salesmen wunte
steady or strong prices. Owing to the dli
fcrenco of opinion very little business WB
transacted before the middle of the fan
noon.
Later reports from other selling points it
dlcated that the strong opening had n <
been maintained and that the markets c
the country generally were lower. Tin
SHKKP Unrly receipts numbered thir
teen cars of Colorado lambs , which could
hardly bo said to have been offered on the
market , nnd the morning wore away with
out anything being accomplished , for the
lack of supplies to sell. Later trains
brought In a few more loads , which
brought up the total to nineteen cars , but
part of them wcro direct to packers nnd
were not offered for sale. Keprcsentatlve

BOSTON , May 6. The Boston Commer
cial Bulletin will say tomorrow of the wool
market : Tint onslng of money and the stir
In manufacturing circles , occasioned by
government demands , have had n reviving
Influence for the moment on thu languid
market. A % per cent reduction In rates
nnd a greater willingness on the part of
banks to place loans have together served
to relieve In a measure the high tension of
fooling. Government contracts from
sound debtor and forming practically th
only business of the season luivo proven
very tempting halt to manufnoturcis , nnrt
net them on the "qul vlve , " nnd their llg-
ures on bids , with an awakened InlorCHt In
stocks , herved this week to start n lively
trade In sample hags. Further than this
nn actual business developed In medium un
washed fleeces , one-half bloods , and better.
Under the semblance of activity vlmvH
have assumed an appreciable gain In llrm-
ne.MS , und prices have held very well. Thu
sales of the week are 745,500 Ibs. domestic
and 215,000 Ibs. foreign , ngalnst 410,000 HIM.
domestic nnd G77.0CO Ibs. foreign hist week ,
and 1,262,600 pounds domestic nnd 3.0.52.000

The sales to date show a decrease of 41-
931.000 Ibs. domestic and 62,021 IbH. foreign
from the sales to the Ha me date In Ib'.lT.
