' CHICAGO , May IS. The sentiment of
Speculators In the wheat market today was
brarlMh. Cables showed declines nnd prices
tended steadily downward , July declining
Z\'tc \ and September closing 1 5-Sc lower.
Corn nnd oats were weakened by the higher
temperature throughout the west , July corn
at the close showing n lots of 7-Sc nnd oats
Vt'ii\'ic. \ Provlslot held up , despite the big
Inlttix of hogs , pork closing 7',4c. lard 2Vic
Hid July ribs tic higher.
It was a weak day In wheat , with the ca
ties for the Mm lime In a long while prov
ing a bear motive. Liverpool "was 2ft
lower , Paris 15fi55 lower , Antwerp Off
23t'50 ' centimes. Western receipts we're not
BO largo 04 they have been , but there was
perfect weather and good crop reports from
every direction , even from abroad. Thu
market was much affected by a report that
Import Inglls estimated the whe.it po slbll
lllos as high us 9,000,000 bushels. The
Jlgures were considered preposterous , but
It drew attention to the fact that everyone
. wn apparently willing to concede that
thorn was thi' prospect of the largest crop
ever harvested. Clearings amounted to
270.rxiO bu. Primary receipts were M > 5,000 bu
compared with Bll.OuO bu. last > ear. The
Bpeculatlve trade was light and pit temper
excitable , although decidedly bearish. De
clines were sulllclent all around In nvery
market In the world. July opened Ic lower
nt tl.07 , rose to J1.07'A declined to Jl 05 am
rorovercd to tl.05'4. the closing figure. Sop
* tembtr began ' c under > esterday s cloie a
i'J' e , rallied to & 9iC , fell back to SSc nm
closed at KS 1-Sc. May ranged from fl.10 ti
* ty.VI and closed at the lowest.
Coin for awhile today showed steadiness
There was a good deal of rain and mori
rwas predicted. Temperatures , however
wire good , and the weekly crop bulletin1
were favorable. Lobrke , the New York ex
port authority , said the other side was ful
of corn and that it needed to be dlgoitet
before there was further buying. Corn
finally broke wllh wheat. Receipts wer
2ul cars ; July opened c lower at 36 1-bc
111 mud up to 3CVio and then went dowi
gradually to 35 1-Sc , which was the closing
Jirlce.
Oats were neglected , but remained rathe
Bteady. There was some Inquiry from ship
pers , but bids were too low. Receipts wer
201 tars : July opened 1-St/Uc lower a
26 1-Sc. advanced to 26Vfcc and declined t
2l fi26 1-Sc nt the close.
Thu provision market today proved a pur-
zlo. I nrge hoe receipts 53,000. with 41,000
estimated for Thursday led lo the expecta
tion of a weak day. The market early
jnado a dip. but as the session advanced
the trade showed surprising sleadlness.
* Heemlngly outsiders either were not loaded ,
01 else so well loaded that no stop losi
order lolling was necessary. Packers gen
erally have been buyers. Hogs declined
IS'ii''Oc ; July pork opened 17'4C lower at
SIW ) . sold up to { 12 32'4 and reacted to
J12.271 * at the close. Lard for July started
unchanged at $6 62'A declined to $6 60 und
closed J ' ribs 5c
at 05'flC07V-i ; July began
loner at (6.30 , lose to JC 4-4 ! and closed at

NEW YORK. May 13. The bull cam
palgn inauguraled yesterday on the Stocl
exchange promised well during the early
part of today , but before the close Jhe ad
vantage gained earlier had all been lost and
prices as ; i rule were lower than last night
not only In the sneplallles. whose weak
ness stopped the advance , but in the stand
ard stocks and those which .had led tli
advance ns well. At the opening the bill
contingent had to face a series of decline
for Americans In London , but the tendeno
for the London market nfter its opening
was upward and the declines there wer
Ignored , prices here opening higher al
along the line. There was a fair volume o
orders to buy which had come to commls
sdon houses over night as a result of the
strength displayed yesterday nnd there was
I no selling for London account to amount
I to anything. The advance was led with
\lgor by People's Gas and Rock Island. The
Grangers all showed strenglh. Rock Island
which crossed Burlington temporarily yes
terday , ruled above the latter stock all day
today. The unsetlled tone of Tobacco nnd
Ihe largo volume of transactions in It gave
the llrst check to the advance. When heavy
offerings of Sugar were Joined to those of
. Tobacco the bull campaign received an ef
fectual check for the day and was not re
newed. There was n conspicuous movement
; of Rubber preferred on the strength of the
, statement of the company's business made
, at yesterday's annual meeting. The weak
, ness In Sugar and Tobacco became more
, pronounced as the day progressed , the ex
treme decline In both stocks leaching to
within a small fraction of 4 points. This
, proved tos heavy a burden for the market
to carry and prices fell away In a dull mar
ket until neir the close , when there was
- animation on realizing. The stringent
measures adopted by the government to
stop the publication of news of naval oper
ations has pro\ed highly efflcntious anil In
formation seemed to be entirely lacking in
AVnll street today. This tended to beget
some feellnc of nervousness and doubt
which helped reaction. The money market
; was quot.ibly lower today nnd sterling ex
; change n half cent higher all round , but
the easier money conditions had no effect
; , on speculation The weakness of wheat
had doubtless some sympathetic effect.
- Bonds wcro dull all day and prices moved
' , narrowly , but were well held in the late
reaction In the stock market. Total sales
$1.900.000 United States 4s wcro U lower
in the bid price. Others were unchanged
There were sales of the old 4s at a decline
of 3-S from the preceding sale.
The Evening Post's Londsn financial cablegram
blegram says : There ha\o been no more
political speeches , M > Ihe markets hero wert
better today. Americans closed at nboul
the best. Spanish 4s were especially flat
being sold from Madrid. Grand Trunk w

Receipts were unusually heavy for n
Wednesday , 346 cars being reported In
the > arils , as against 3UJ > esterday , 328 a
week ago , 277 two weeks ago and .168 for
the corresponding day of last year. There
was a larger number of cars of stock hero
today than was reported In the yards on
any Wednesday of last month. It would
look as If the Improvement in the markets
was responsible for the llber.il run of stock.
CATTLE U was a great day for cattle
receipts , the arrivals being even larger than
> es-terday , and the largest of any day since
Wednesday of last week. The Improvement
In the market has evidently had the antici
pated result of inducing Increased ship
ments. The most of the cattle here were
cornfed beeves , a considerable proportion of
which coiidlsted of branded westerns. While
there were quite a good many cattle that
could be classed as good , there were also
a good many that were detldedly on the
commonlsh order.
The market was not so favorable to sell
ers as was the case yesterday , advices from
other selling points all indlcallnglarge runs
nnd .lower markets , and under that In
fluence the feeling here was easier. The
most desirable kinds of natives and such
cattle as were wanted by both packers and 1
shippers sold In many cases no lower , but
aside from that the general market on
beeves was 5 10c lower than ycsterdaj's
market. Considering the large receipts the
market was really In pretty good shape ,
und there was n fair movement , though It
lacked a good deal of being as active as
jes-terday.
Bulchers' slock was in good request at
steady prices , und buyers rode hard and
fast to tind such cows and heifers ns they
required to till orders. The holders of heavy
fat cows th.it would come Into competition
with dreshed beef steers were reporting the
market on that kind as easier , In sympathy
with the decline on steers. Bulls were
rather Inclined toward slowness , und were
a little lower. Veal calves were , as usual ,
good sellers.
In the stocker nnd feeder division there
was little business doing for the very good
reason that the cattle were not here. Regu
lar yard operators reported their pens as
bare and there were almost no fresh cattio
In excepting a few half-fat cattle. The
market was without further feature of Im
portance. As was reported yesterday , the
demand continues good and far In excess
of the receipts. What few cattle were
offered met with ready sale at good steady
prices , und the > ards were boon entirely
cleared. Half-fat cattle sold to the feeders
at right around $425. Representative sales

of reported largo receipts at all selling point

the market was well supplied , over twenty
cars being reported. As a matter of fact
however , there was only about one load ol
sheep In the vnrds and three loads of rather
common lambs , and the balance of the ar
rivals consisted of Fort Collins lambs. As
usual the Fort Collins Iambi were not of
fered In the morning , nnd In consequence
there was verv little doing at the slieei
barn What little stuff was offered soli
readllv , and at steady prices , in spite of tin
fact Hint eastern markets were rcportoi
lower Later on n part of the Tort Collln'
lambs were sold at an advance of 25 cents
