May S.-Whrat pursued an rritlc course today, Influenced by news of a diversified character. The undertone In the main was strong, but fears of rains In Kansas and a slump la corn turned the market weak and July wheat cloned c lower. July corn lac depressed and July oat 'ic lower. Provisions closed unchanged to 60 higher. Firm cablea, too much rain In the sprina: wheat country and continued drouth In Kansas brought a slight upturn early In whent. Bears, however, soon attacked the market on the depression of a dull corn market and reports of excellent conditions in the wheat country, where rains had fallen. Prices slipped off, but were at once buoyed up again by Rood buying on the oecnne. asn Dusiness wa improving-, clearances were fair and experts had the Kansas crop damaged 75 per cent. Jury, which had opened a shade to H'sViC higher, at 77c to 77M,c and sold off to iKc, soon lumped to 77Ve. The early outside markets had been weak, but improvea somewnit, export business was reported good and material strength was manifested. Then came another attack by the bears on fears or rains in Kansas, corn conunuea to oe cllne and wheat sold off. July dipped again to 7Hc and closed weak, viTSc lower, at 16ysfJe. Local receipts were 44 cars two of contract grade, and Minneapolis' ana Duluth reported 348 cars, making total for the three points of 292 cars, against 134 last week and 260 a year ago. Argentine shipments were 1,01S, bu., compared to 920,000 a year ago. Primary recelpta were mono bu., against 12.000 last year. Sea board clearances in wheat and flour equaled 447,000 bu. The seaboard reported ten and a half loads taken for export. Corn was dull for the session and slumped badly. Wheat momentarily brought atrength, but the absence of a support was more than the market could withstand, considering the bearish news that was coming in from the fields. The weather was Ideal for the growth and farmers were sending their stuff to market more freely than of late. Cables were Indifferent and Argentine shipments bulllshly large. Late, after the wheat support had been lost, bears began selling short. July slumped from 63o to a weak close at the bottom Srice of the day, ISo lower, at ti142c. ;ecelpts were 184 cars. Oats were weaker by the depression In other grains. There was some fair buying by commission houses at times and wheat crave some support. The late weakness, however, pressed prices and in the view of good farm reports July closed weak, c lower, at 46ic Receipts were 138 cars. Provisions showed a marked Increase early, but lost much of the gain near the close on liquidation for profits. The hoe: rnirket was strong at the vards because or the light run of" hogs, there waa good covering of short accounts in products and packers also supported. July pork sold at $17.20 and closed 6o up at 117.024, July lard closed 6c higher at $10.16 and July ribs un changed at 30.60.

As will be seen from the table of receipts given above the supply for the week to date Is considerably short of the same days of the last several weeks and also of the same days of last year. The tend ency of prices, however, has been down ward at all points and the break In nrin. la the greatest that has been experienced in a long time. There were verv lew beef ateera on ..u this mornlna and as nackera haH a , orders they had to nil the market was a little stronger than yesterday and a few sales were made that looked 64tlOo higher thcan yesterday. There were so few cattle on sale, though, that a fair test of the market was not mnaiav Tha prices that were paid today, however, were juuy aH-mc tower man tne high time and In some cases the decline looks even more than that. The choice heavv .ynnrt miiu and the prime lightweights have not suf fered as much as the medium grades. The cow market did not show much of any change today as compared with yes terday. Recelpta were, of course, very light, but packets were not at all anxious for supplies, so that, even though offerings were limited, sellers were unable to get any better prices than they did yesterday The situation could best be described by calling It alow but steady. As previously mentioned the general market on xnaua a h heifers is safely 60S76C lower than the high time and some selasmen are quoting the decline even more than that. There was no particular change from yesterday in the Drices nal,1 for hull. .,..1 calves and stags, although the demand was limited. The Blocker and feeder trade continued very quiet today. There were very few cattle on aaie, but it is safe to say that for the week the market Is fully 15c5o lower. The demand from the country is very light and fewer cattle have been shipped out this week than for some time past. Only 14 cars were shipped to the country yesterday, but that Is more than on most days of this week. Representative sales: BEEF STEERS. No. At. .. 740 .. 440 .. 400 ..1010 ..1044 .. 464 Pr. No. A.

Warships Sheathed with Asbestos to Keep the Sailors Healthy. When the navv turned to bulldlna Ita ships of steel it was remarked that unless some device was adopted for offsetting the effect of heat condensing on the metal it would be only a matter of a short time before all our officers would be suffering from rheumatism. The Introduction of metal chairs, tables and other plecea of furniture followed a few years ago and now there Is not' a single piece of wood of any sixe to bo found in an officer's room on a modern war sl ip. He sleeps In an Iron berth, keeps his ciothcs In a steel chest, while the floor lUiiK ana walls nf his apartment are of the same metal. Since the adoption of the solid armor for the sides of the warshlrts a great deal of trouble has been experienced in malting nabitariie the quarters directly next to the outside covering. The heat of the room condensed on the cold metal and In a very short time1 the occupant would be on the hospital list with a bad case of rheumatism. This is now guarded against, by the use of a sheathing of asbestos v ru 1 a v iu 111, -,. mi,, uiriii ill nni tT by a framework. This Is found to absorb the moisture In a satisfactory manner. Care Is also taken to see that the bert-.s are not built agalnat the outside of the vessel, but against one of the side walls, so that the sleeper will be as far as possible from the metal that comes In contact with the water.
