CHrCAGO, May ".Board nf Trade mar
kets were dull today. Wheat was de
jirosscd by lower cable and heavy world's
thlrmiontx, but the tone wan fairly steady,
July (.'losing Mc down. July corn closed
lower and July oats 'ifi-r-c reduced. Pro
visions tloscd weiik. from 8j"4o down In
Jurd to 1714c lower In pork.
Considering the bearish tenor of the for
eign news whent showed considerable Indc
liendenco curly and during the s-jjslon this
uplrlt whh buoyed up by domestic new of
another HOrt. Cables were lower, world's
shipment!) heavy, Husxlun shipments In
creasing l.OOO.COO bu. for the week, and there
wan a small Increase on passage. Against
these were the Ohio state report, making
the crop condition of that state II per cent,
an assertion that the Kansas wheat was
turning yellow from too much rain and a
decrease In the visible of 2,tSI7,00O bu. I he
range of prices was narrow. There was a
fair rash demand and talk of export s.iles,
one firm hern reporting 110 loads sold A
feature was tin- demand for July at 67e.
Several times the market touched that llg
urc, but on each occasion the demand ex
ceeded the supply and slight recoveries
followed The .Mn.Jnly spreail at the . lose
was W,. The mm board reported 1'.' loads
taken for export and clraranics in wheat

iimlor Saturday at to 7r, sold between
67'e and 07c and closed ,c down at 6T',iir
The corn market was dull and lower, but
prices wrre steady, following the opening
concession, dictated b) lower cables and re
ported freer country offerings. While to all
Appearances no Important iong lines were
thrown Into the pit there was considerable
celling by bull houses enough to prevent a
rally upon the announcement of a visible
decrease of 3,711 ) bu. Some Improvement
In the shipping demand was reported. 1Ocal
receipts were 251 cars. July sold from V3r
to 39"c and closed Vsc lower at S'JttfiSDSc.
At the close tho May-July difference

corn. At the bottom the market showed a
bit of rallying spirit on buying by ship
Vers. Country offerings were freer and the
oxport demand slow. Receipts here were
133 cars. July sold between 23'ifi2'i'S,c nnd
I'lle and closed '.ify'V down at 23'.nc.
Provisions were weak. The hog market
was depressed and long stuff In scattered
amounts pressed against the market, meet
ing almost no support From the bottom
there was a little recovery on buying by
packers, but this was on a small scale, and
tho end of tho session found the market
weak. July pork sold from 111. So to 111.63

NEW YORK, May 7-Therc were sev
eral point of weakness In the stock market
tndal' nnd fh tvr.ro umr.1mt to turn thn
room traders to the bear side of the market.
The operations of this professional element
wero the only ones apparent outside of n
few stocks and they reflected no conditions
of even well established opinions regarding
the general outlook. The demand for stocks
continued quite Insignificant, so that tho
moderate offerings, In Inrge part, for the
short account of room traders, made an Im
pression easily upon prices, hut the decline
failed to Induce any liquidation nnd prices
readily rallied when the bears came to
cover. Tho steel shares were the- most con
spicuous In the trading and were weak
from tho opening. The reporte-cl closing of
a mill of the Federal Steel company Induced
the early decline, which was languid and
sluggish.
The announcement of the resignation from
the board of directors of the American Steel
nnd Wire company of tho Sellgmans' repre
sentatives and their statement of Irrecon
cilable objections to Chairman Gates and
his policy caused n sharp further break In
tho steel group. In which the; Federal Steel
was rather more affected than Steel nnd
Wire, Pressed Steel Cur nnd American
Smelting were exceptions In the group, the
former rising over a point. Long Islnnd
broke sharply after Its recent notable ad
vance on the absorption by Pennsylvania
and closed 9'4 Points lower The bonds of
the company were also heavy. The renctlon
was attribute! to speculative profit taking
nnd occurred on comparatively small deal
ings. In the railroad list St. Paul, Pennsylvania,
Union Pacific and Baltimore & Ohio had
rather a wide fall on what looked like let
ting go of a speculative account. There
wero henvy blocks offered of all these.
There was n slight show of strength In
spots at the opening In response to linden's
encouragement over South African news,
but the rise was but momentary. The rallv
after the break in tne steel stocks was not
well held. General Electric advanced nearly
3 points In the morning, but saved only 1
point on the day.
The money market continued very easy
and further gold exports to Paris arc ex
Teeted. it Is not believed that nny gold
will go to 1ondon In the present condition
nnd at the present level of exchange, which
declined today both for sterling nnd for
Paris cheques, Estimates of the amount to
go on Thursday to Paris run to $5,ooo,000. but
no announcements were made todnv of en
gagements. The bear traders during the
day professed uneasiness over tho gold
movement as well as over labor dllllcultles
at various points, tho pendency of the presi
dential campaign nnd the reactionary
course of business, which they nrguo must
have Its effect on railroad earnings.
Railroad bonds showed a yielding ten
dency in sympathy with stocks. Totalsaies.

United States now 4s advanced and tho

The Commercial Advertiser's London
financial cablegram says: There was a
rather quiet feeling In the markets here
toda, mainly in Africans. The mnrkets
opened better on Lord Roberts' victories,
but closed irregular, funds declining for
fear of dear money, It was raid, but prob
ably in connection with forced liquidation.
The war loan was quoted nt 15-16 premium,
closing at 11-16. Americans wero neglected
h,ut,rm .ver P"lty until New York sold
slightly, Iondon sold tintos, but Paris
cheerfully supported them and they closed
7 up at M'S, Anncondns were steady. Tho
bank bought 17.000 In German coin. Loans
were In less demand and bids were scarce.
Tho bank did no business In discounts and
was repaid moderately. The Board of Trade
returns show up 16.3 and Imports increased
5.2. although there was considerable less of
American wheat.

CATTLE There -was a light run of cattle
at all tho great market points today and In
consequence of that fact and the still
further fact that there seems to be a good
consuming demand there was a general ad
vnnco all along the line, Oood kinds of
cornfed cattle at this point sold 10c higher
than Inst Frldny nnd the mnrket was active
nt tho advance, so that everything In sight
was disposed of In a very nhort time. Pack
ers here seem to have a very good demnnd
for ment products nnd they evidently want
the cattle and a good many of them. Every
thing In the yards today was sold and
welched up early In the morning.
Cows nnd heifers were In very light supply
and the mnrket strong. They could hnrdly
be called higher, as they were very high
last week ns compared with steers, but It
Is safe to call the market stronger. The.
fact Is the cow market has been gradually
firming up under the Influence of the very
good demand and the moderate supply.
Bulls sold quite well today, there being a
fair demnnd nnd prices steady,
Stockers nnd feeders were In active de
mand nnd anything In the way of desirable
thin cattle wn snnnoed un In verv short
order. The prices paid were even stronger
than last week. The market on stock cattle
hns been gradually firming up, owing to the
ract mat tno supply is very light In the
face of a pretty good demand. Representa
tive sales:

HOOS This was an off day for the sellers
of hogs. Receipts here were moderate nnd
the demand good, so that local conditions
were nil right, but Chlcngo proved a dis
turbing element, ns reports' from there
were verv unfavorable. Tho market here
opened 2',jr lower nn the general run of
gooil hogs, which sold at Jl.20fiG.22Vi. as
ngnlnst J5.22'45.25 on Saturday, best time
Some right good heavy hogs sold at J5.3Ut(
5.35. The reports from Chicago, however,
wero such that the market weakened nl
most Immediately and became 5e lower
than Saturday. Packers began talking J5.15
for tho gooil mixed loads, and still
lower prices for those that wero not good,
Tho result was that the market became
very dull anil the trade was prolonged
through nil the forenoon. Some of the hlg
packers seemed to be on the bear side from
the very start, and they never did bid prices
that were any better than 5c lower than
Saturday's close. The market did not get
my better, but flattened out completely at
tho close with no one trying to buy.
