liiK' ( ircnlcnt Decline.
NEW YORK , May 3. The stock market
moved In nnUmcertnln manner today nnd
loft off generally lower with the declines
most accentuated In the coalers. Consoli
dated G P , Sugar nnd American Spirits.
Commission house business was smalt nnd
London and n number of professionals rea-
Sized profits on stocks bought nt the loxv
flguro ytstcrday. Much of the buying ap
peared to bo covering of the shorts. The
early trading continued the strength of
yesterday's closing , but realizing and sales
on the theory that the recovery had been
too rapid took thn snap out of the market.
The weakness of the coalers was on heavy
sales by a prominent holder who had been
carrying a long line of these properties.
Disappointment was expressed In some
quarters that no announcement was forth
coming concerning n ooal deal now that
the New Jersey legislature , has been ad
journed for some time. The stee' nnd wlro
stocks displayed flrmne-s on the bellof that
negotiations were pending to consolidate a
number of these properties. Although noth
ing positive , as to details could be learned ,
It was said that the capitalization of over
$500,000,000 wns contemplated. The applica
tion ot American Steel nnd Wlro to bo
listed by the exchange , together with divi
dend cnsslii , was nn alii fo that stock.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit fluctuated wildly
and closed with over a point advance.
Peori.e's Gas nnd Pacific Mnll were also
Btrong. The. . general railway list was frac
tionally lower. Consolidated Gns recovered
somewhat on covering , but on the In
creased cutting of gas prices again broke
several points nnd closed nearly 2 points
oft on theday. . The arrangement to retire
the first preferred stock of Minneapolis &
St. Louis caused a rise of ovr 4 points ! n
the second preferred. The closing of pool
account.In American Spirits and Sugar
was said to account for -the weakness In
these properties. The market closed weak.
Most of the prominent bond issues scored
Improvements today , with the advances
quite marked In so-me cases. Total sales.
$2,150,000. United States 3s , coupon , and the
new 4s , coupon , advanced H per cent In the
bid price ,
The Commercial Advertiser's London
financial cablegram says : "The markets
ere were quiet. Good Americans were
hard early with some "punting" purchases
on glowing statements of a dealer just re
turned from the states. The close was un
der the best , except for BaltimoreOhio. .
Mexican Central Issues were strong nn ex
cellent tralllo statements. Tintos opened
wnk at1SW , rallied to 49 5-16 and closed at
49V . Anacondas , 13 ex-dlvldend. Bostons
were flat at 2 % . Utahs , 9 . Canadian Pa
cific was buoyant , going to 101i nnd clo-i-
ing nt 100'4. The week's Inflow of gold was
174,000. Silver was fixed at 2S % . but later
fell to 2SU on America attempting to un
load on a very limited market.

CATTLE Not tar irom seventy or seven
ty-five loads of cornfed steers were In the
yards this morning , which , though llbornl
as compared with some days , w < re hardly
enough to meet the requirements of local
packers. Both Chicago and Kansas City
reported an easier or weaker market , but
th * local demand nt this point wns pulll-
clently good to hold the market up. The
reult was that values at this point on beef
cattle werfi fully steady and the market
active on nl deflrable kinds. In some. In
stances sellers who had cattle that were
especially desirable got a little , stronger
price. The big bulk of the cattle changed
hands early In the morning < xnd the trade
as a whole was satisfactory.
Cows and heifers wereIn the usual light
supply , only a dozen or fifteen loads being
reported on sale. The market did not show
any quotable change. Cows and heifers
sell well on every day and for two or three
weeks the market on that kind of stuff
has experienced very little change. Bulls
stags , etc. , sold In about the same notches
as yesterday.x Veal calves sold at steady
price ? .
Stockers and feeders were In moderate
supply nnd the market steady , There seems
to ba n stepdy demand for n few tock
cattle rljjht along nnd prices so far this
week have shown little or no change. Rep
resentative sales ;

HOGS Liberal receipts and weaker mar
kets reported from other selling points had
a weakening effect upon the market here
and the trade as a whole wa > rather slow
from start .o finish. Die slowing , how
ever , was due to reluctance of nelierx
to make any concessions from yesterday's
figures. The general market uould best be
described as weak-er , or an barely steady
to a fhado lower In some Instance * ) . There
were plenty of hogs that sold ut yesterday's
prices , while In other casts It was not pos
sible to get quite up to yesterday's llgures.
H will be noted that the long string sold
ut $3.63 , the same uu yc.stvrday , but the
average of ull the sales wa > a trifle lower ,
liuyern generally put It In this way : " 1 got
a little better hogs at the. same money
than I could get y Htorday. " The market
closed weak and a shade ' .ow r.
While , us noted above , the market was
slow , the most of the hogs Hold reasonably
early. The hogs ld today practically In
the name notches u ? u tve-k pgo.
Shippers mutt bear In rnlnd that the
packers nt thl point nro enforcing the
custom that ins prevalird nt other nnr-
kMs for s m * t-m" > r < tr.iril to the throw-
lnjr out of heavy or rough atags. Instead
of beltu : sold with the load ss heretofore

SHEEP Moderate receipts of both sheep
and lambs and a Rood , active demand was
the situation this morning , with the result
that the market was strong to lOc higher.
Buyers were all out early and It did not
take them very long to effect a clearance.
The Janscn clipped lambs which sold at
Jo.10 yesterday brought $ . " .20 today. A
bunch of good spring lambs , the llrst that
, have been here In some tlmo , sold at $3.50.
i The sales holow will show the prices paid
for the other kind of stuff.
The market as a whole was In very sat
isfactory condition , the- demand being fully
up to or In excess of the ncelpts. The
. buyers want both sheep nnd lambs , es-
, peclally sheep , which are not as plentiful
i at present as lambs , nnd It is no trouble to
I dispose of all arrivals at current prlcs.

WASHINGTON. May 3.-Spccla1. ( ) n r-
Ins the last ypnr the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture has had four agricul
tural explorers at work In different parts of
the world having In vlow the Introduction
Into the United States of such secils nn.l
plants na may prove to bo ot economlo
value. Secretary Wilson sent Prof. Mark
A. Carlcton , the well known authority on
cereals , to lUiwIa with Instructions to ob
tain ( men varieties rts might In nny war
nfld to the value of our cereal production.
Prof. Carleton has Just returned , nfter
spending about eight months In the lam !
of the eznr , nnd Is confident that some nt
least of his selections ulll prove of great
bcnetU. Ho mentions n winter rye , which
Is crown lit t'st-flsolsk , In the government
( slate ) of Vologda , whU'li Is In about CO
degrees north latitude. The climate con
ditions correspond very like to those of La
brador. It Is believed that this rye will
clo very well In Alaska , n section of our1
country which has not yet produced cereals
except In nn experimental way.
The cereal that promised best results Is
the. Kubanka wheat , from the Kuban terri
tory , In the Volga region. While this la
a spring wheat In Russia , It Is believed that
It can bo chnngcd to n winter wheat hero.
It Is very much harder than nny of our
wheats and Is the great bread wheat of
the Volga region. It is , however , for this
purpose mixed with softer wheats to the
extent of 10 to 20 per cent. This wheat
needs a warm cllmnlc ami Is expected to
give gocd results In Texas. No-Man'a-Laml.
western Kansas and eastern Colorado. It
does beat In 'Russia ' , where the ainum ! rain
fall Is only about fifteen Inches. In west
ern Kansas the annual rainfall Is about
eighteen Inches. Prof. Carlcton feels that
the greatest dlfllculty that this variety will
meet with hero In th"e objection of inlllnra
to grinding it , owing to Ito great hard-
ucr-s.
ucrs.A
A variety called Polish wheat , which was
nhtnlllnrl. 1ln thn IHrtrnqf rrrnln f nil * , .1 rtnl
In the world , the average length of the
kernels being about flvo-slxtuentha of nn
Inch. Llko the KubanUu , It Is exceedingly
hard , but It Is not bread wheat. Its uao
Is In pastry and ns a macaroni \\hcat. Amor-
lean macaroni which Is not inndo from
wheat Imported for the purpose Is now
made from North Dakota hard wheat. The
Polish wheat needs a warm climate and
Is expected to flourish wherever the Kubaiika
wheat docs. ,
Several varieties of broom millet are to
cpinc. These are for cold , dry climates.
It Is not claimed that they are superior
to the millets now growing In this coun
try , but will grow where ours do not grow.
These nro grown In Russia for the eccdg
principally , anil are used for food In the
way of soups and gruels. It Is possible ,
as Prof. Carletc.n suggests , that we may
thus add something desirable to our dietary.
Another importation , which In Russia (3 (
largely used In soups nnd gruels , is a Si
berian buckwheat. It la called "Glgantla
buckwheat , " from the immense size of tha
kernels , being nearly twice the size ot our
buckwheat. The most Is expected from this
Introduction In dry , cold regions.
A variety cf spelt , called "Polba" In
Russia , Is another Importation which grows
In Russia In regions so cold that other
cereals will not grow. This may jirova
to bo nu excellent winter grain with us ,
nnd especially suitable for Alaska. It la
grown In Russia almost exclusively for feed.
The kernels arc very hard.
Two varieties of oats , the Swedish and
Tobolsk , are expected to bo the thing need
ful In the dry , cold regions of the west.
The Swedish variety originally came from
Finland ) but lu Russia It has been grown
many years , cash year from selected need.
The government Importation Is from thla
eeloctea seed. The other variety Is from
Tobolsk , in the northern part of Siberia ,
whcro It Is very dry nnd cold.
The total Importations 'amount to about
thirty varieties of cereals and forage plants ,
besides vegetable seeds and melons.
