CHICAGO , May 10. Wildly fluctuating 2o
a hu. , wheat today closed at $1.14 for July ,
a toss of C'/ic ' compared with the final llg-
tires yesterday. A collapbc from $1.23 , a new
high record for July , to $1.03 , chlelly In the
last quarter of an hour , was the main spei- !
tucular features , Sales to realize prolllu
principally caused the fearful slide. A hair
raising quick rally of lOc , due to covering by
nhorts , followed Just before the closing
gong. May closed at $1.83 , the highest point
of the season , and a net advance of Cc ,
Ijcltcr reported sales of 650,000 hu. cash
wheat abroad , at an advance since yester
day of 9c , apparently proving that foreign
ers still wanted wheat , despite a drop at
Liverpool. Corn nnd oats ruled weak on
realizing. July corn lost l',4f(3-8c ( , oats * 4 < U
7-fc ; provisions ruled dull , finishing at de
clines of IGc for pork and 24'05c ! ' lor lard ,
with ribs unchanged.
Intense excitement In the wheat pit
imirked the dny from the start. Liverpool
Hhowcd a decline at thu opening of 6u u
bu for May and He for September. This
wns offHut by a preliminary jump of ICUc In
July. But the second cables showed a sud
den slump In July also. This unlookcd for
I > ioccduru on thu part of the English market
caused n weak opening here. July began
with declines of 2ft3o. Trades were on a
range of $1.17ifH.18. Four subsequent quo
tations reduced the price to J1.10' ; . Here
the supply of. wheat suddenly vanished and
quotations steadily advanced to $1.23 , the
highest point reached yet by the July op-
tl ( n. May wheat was only heard from at
long Intervals. Trading in It began 2c lower
( it $1.73. The succeeding sales were at $1.75 ,
$1.80 and $1.85. It had occasional reactions
to $1.80 , but was Immediately picked up.
About 11 o'clock , when July touched $1.25 ,
It rebounded to $1.24 , returned to $1.25 , and
took n steady downward course. Stop or
ders on long wheat seemed thick , and close
under the market. The downward lllght
nau checked temporarily at around $1.17 ,
Trade was narrow and ordinary orders were
hard to execute. Routine /lows cut little
figure In the early dealings. Local receipts
were 236 cars , compared with ten last year ,
Minneapolis and Duluth got 411 cars , agalnsl
4)8 ! ) the year before. Today's primary re-
celpts aggregated 616,000 bu. , compared will !
only 375,000 bu. last year. Atlantic porl
clearances of wheat and Hour were equal tc
r > nQ,00 < ) hu. The closing quotations from eon
tlnental markets showed advances at Paris
equal to 4c a IU. for May and 3 1-Su for Sep
tember-December. Antwerp was up equate
to 2 5-8c a bu. A quarter of nn hour bcfon
the close the Hood of long wheat broki
loose. The selling was based largely upol
the , presumption that today's governmeni
clop report might be bearish. Scalpers veil
tured to put out short lines. July Hlumpii
In u couple of minutes from around $1.18 ti
$1.15. Most of thu traders weru a full cen
apart. When the liquidation was uxlmustet
uliorts tried to even up and the marku
ruithed up again to $1.15 , closing at $1.14 , i
net loss of GV4c. May sold between $1.73 am
$1.S5. closing lOe net higher lit $1.85. Sep
tember , which sold early at 93c 7-Sc , turn
bled to 8Sc and closed worth 90',4c.
Trading In corn was moderate. Fluctua
tlons followed wheat on a small scale. Thi
market opened lower , rallied to yesterday1 !
close and eased off. Dually getting undei
the opening. Country offerings were large
Chicago received 1.1G6 cars. Seaboard re
celpts were 1,000,000 bu. When when
plumped near the close , corn became weak
July touching 35c , reacting slightly on cov
ering. July opened at .IBfl.lOVlc. comparec
with 367-8 373-8 yesterday , declined to 33i
nnd closed at lV 5fl 3-Sc lower at 335-8c.
The oats market shaped Its course aftc
wheat and corn. A bulge followed the open
Ing weakness , but free Helling by July longa
helped by the break In wheat , caused i
lump near the close. Favorable weathc
< Jiecked buying. Local receipts were 66
cars. July opened % c lower at 27Vii27.lc
rallied to 23c nnd sold off to 27 1-8C at til
close , a net loss of V tf-Rc. '
No life on thu buying Hide of the marke
could be infused Into provisions. The hoi
receipts continue too heavy-and spcculatloi
too stagnant for any considerable sympath ;
with grain. The western hog receipts to
the day were 75,000 head , against 66,000 heui
last year. Liverpool quoted a dull marko
for meats , and lard 3d lower. Closing price
showed net losses of 15c In July pork'nnfl 3'
@ 5c In lard ; ribs unchanged.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow : Wheal
240 cars ; corn , 480 cars ; oats , 235 curs ; hogs
40,000 head.

STOCKS AMI
Market Continue * to Ue Influenced Ii ;
the \Vlient Movement.
NEW YORK. May 10. The stock "markc
was largely Influenced again today .by th
wheat market , the movements rln which un
settled the tone In all speculative markets
No doubt successful speculators of yester
day In wheat Immediately placed part n
least of their profits -In the stock market
This kind of support had no small part Ii
the undertone of strength In stocks yester
day. Today the wiping out of paper profit
and the tumbling of prices In wheat result
Ing In the uncovering of margins Induce
liquidation In the stock market , , This wa
particularly noticeable * Jn the late dealing
after.tho plunge In the price of Julywhoa
at Chicago frpm $1.23 to $ Lt . Tjia utoc
market during the early part of the. da
absorbed every large line of. offerings t
liquidate profits and the selling for Lou
don account was also heavy again , tola
sales for that account being estimated never
4s over 25,000 shares. The general demand fa
commission houses was sufficient to tuk
up these offerings at n well sustained lev
4s of prices. There was evidence also of th
4sn operation of bull pools here and there 1
n the list , notably In some of the low price
,
stocks which are usually almost tnactlv
la and Immovable. The strength Imparted t
lak. these stocks helped to sustain the markc
k.
k.DO and with the rally from the opening weuli
DO ness In the wheat market there came
d rt period of aggressive strength in stock
ht : which lifted prices substantially above lac
night's level. Short selling by the bear
Hi rt was conspicuous. A slump of over 4 point
In Tobacco also had Its effect In the lat
nem weakness. There were fractional rocovoi
m , les before the close , which was firm at nc
' losses of over a point In some cases. Tim
'a ; loans were offered today at 4 per cent up t
four months nnd prime mercantile pap *
id.y. . was also quoted lower at 6 to U per cen
y. There was nevertheless a decline in th
rates for sterling exchange amounting t
about half of yesterday' * gain. This de
vclopment In sterling exchange In face t
nd easier tendency of money , large selling <
.to securities heru lor foreign account and th
es announcement of the shipment from Austrl
ho yesterday of $2,600,000 In gold for Ban Frar
cisco Is hlchly significant of the continue
. streneth of the country In the world's Ir
i. : I ternatlonal exchanges. The market fc
00 I railroad bonds showed a reactionary tei
dency In sympathy with stocks , but the
hiiHlntMK was not large. Total sales , $2,5 < W.-
000. United States new 4s , coupon , sold
nt n decline of Vi from the last sale. Bid
prices were Unchanged.
Tlio Evening Post s Ixitulon financial ca
blegram says : The stock markets here were
dull but good today. The settlement showed
n small account , but money rates were
maintained. Conlnngoes on Americans
were 4 to 5 per cent , except on Milwaukee
& St. Paul , which was si arco for dcllevcry ,
largo blocks of It having been recently
ped to New York. The tone of the
market wns generally good , notably for
Americans , although there wns some hesi
tation In dealings in the latter because It
I * believed that n big battle Is Impending.
The Inquiry for gold has momentarily
ceased , the Bank of 1'ngland being the only
buyer. Spain Is snlir to he buying silver.
The London portion , oc the Greek loan has
he n n little more UulJ ) covered , but the
Paris portion Is believed to be covered forty
times over , mainly. rvn London applications ,
because of an extral _ per cent turn on the
Paris price. I learn .from n Rood source
that a Russian I < ViC,9f 125,000,000 Is to
come out In Berlin , There was a sharp fall
In Russian exchange , which , together with
Berlin exchange. husUeen effected by the
reports of a Russian loan. Spanish 4s were
better hero today , Uir "rarry rate" charged
stock exchange holders'belng only one-half
of 1 per cent. Tliew-jltia marked improve
ment In Spanish exchange , making the
; old premium under ) U)0. ) Nominal reason
sslgnod Is that the Spanish government
ias completed remittances on London for
I'ar materials , et.i < but exchange Is so
liccnlutcil In that thc rxplanatlon must be
Istrusted. The rqp/ift that the Spanish
uly coupon has bet-m provided for Is prob-
bjy correct. I nniJ. [ ( > lil from a good source

market , but- trading , Is still of a perfuni
tory nature. There are few buyerj In tli
city looking for goods and mull order
show little. If nny. Increase In the mor
staple lines. Fancy lines are well sustalnei
particularly with Jobbers , to whom the wn
excitement has been of benefit in the Ir
creased sale of novelties of the nation :

firmer. Staple cottons are quiet except 1
special line * . Print goods are quiet. Woole
goods have been strengthened during tr
last twa weeks by the government demam
The market for both men's wear and dret
goods is generally quiet , though there I
considerable strength displayed In fu

GENERAL The yards were full of stock
of all kinds , 376 cars being reported In , as
against 21S yesterday , 3SO cars u. week ago ,
272 two weeks ago , 214 three weeks nngo
and 357 four weeks ago. While It was u
largo run. It was no heavier than fre
quently occurs on a Tuesday. Ai Is apt to
bo the case on a Tuesday Omaha hail more
cattle than Chicago , und Kansas City had
more hugs and cattle than cither place.
Const-Jet IIIK the large receipts at all Hell-
1111 ? points the markets as u whole were In
fair shape" , hogs showing a considerable
aelvanco in sirlce.
CATTLE There were cattle enough and
to spare on sale today , 220 freh loads
he-Ing reported In the yards , us against 125
yesterday , 216 a week UK" , and 138 two
weeks UL'O. Almost all the cattle here
were corn-tod steers , shipped In for beef
and there were alt kinds , good , bad anet
Indifferent. A considerable number of the
cattle was made u ) > of heavy ami more or
less coarse branded westerns.
The buying demand scorned to be good ,
that Is there were plenty of buyers riding
the yards , beith for local packers and for
shipping account , but they all wanted the
cattle lower , so that the trade as n whole
was late in opening and slow when it did
oucn.
As a , general thing this market was 5Jt
lOc lower , the decline , as might be Imagined ,
being the most pronounced In the course
and heavy cattle , whilu-lmndy Ijttle natives
wcro the least affected. -
Considering the total number of cattle
here the offerings of butchers' stock ware
extremely light , buyers reporting less than
a dozen loads of cows anu heifers on Eule.
The demand was of about the Usual pro
portions and the market.'tn' consequence ol
the light offerings , very firm ,
The stacker and feeder market did not
show nny material change , the offerings
meeting with fair sale at just about steady
nrlces. Rearesentattve' ' sales :

HOGS Receipts of hogs today numbere
126 cars , as against 138 one week ago an
115 two weeks ago , A large run , howuvei
had been anticipated HO that It was n
surprise to the trade , and a heavy run I
also looked for on Wednesday. The average
ago quality of the hogs was very good an
buyers generally admitted that their hog
wc-re better than yesterday , which woul
cut some figure with the prices paid on 111
two days.
Yesterday'a provision market wiia a llttl
stronger , which seemed to.create a good Im
presslon , and at the P4me time there was ,
good buying demand both hero and a
Chicago. The result wua that the murke
on hogs , when the trade was once fulrl
under way , became active at an advanc
of fully Be. Shipper * as well as local pack
ers were operating and the big bulk of til
offerings met with ready sale.
Good mixed hogs sold at $3.93 , nnd thn
was where the big bunch of all thu hou
landed. Light stuff sold down to $3.90 , an
choice heavy or butcher weights sold ute
to $4.00. Yesterday the most of the hog

SHEEP There were thirty loads reported
In the yards today , the largest run , except
ing only yesterday , slnco April 28. The re
ceipts consisted almost entirety of woole-d
lambH with only hero and there u load of
sheep. The market on mutton sheep was
active1 , the demand being good and prices
sttong. Everything of that description
offered met with prompt sale.
The Iamb trade was slow. In the first
place the most of the lambs did not nrrlvti
until late so that the morning was well ltd-
vanceel before the arrivals worn ready to
show. Another feature that contributed to
the slowness of the trade was the fact that
Hellers were generally asking more money
whllo buyers ncemeil to feel that lambs
have been selling too high here In com
parison with other markets and that to
even tilings up today's market should be
no moro than steady. Representative
