CHICAGO. May 8. Many bulla chanced
their sentiment on the araln situation
tooay, and although the traie tor the most
Dart was quiet and unimportant, lower
prices resulted. At the close July wheat
Vaa He lower, July corn Vac oown and
July oat Ho lower, provisions were In
dependently strong and closed 6c to 7V
loo higher.
At the outset wheat showed good
Strength. Cabiee were Arm and Indicated a
generally strong foreign position, especially
when tne recent sales to r'rance wove con
sidered. 'I here was too much rain north
west to permit ot early spring wheat sow
ing and the possibility of a retarded spring
crop gave the bulls a higher price argu
ment. The government reports still showed
Karma 4na Nebraska suffering for the
want of rain, un these Influences July
wheat opened Wilc to '&Hc up at W
Tic. Private me-sages, nowe.er, soon begun
to arrive telling 04 rains In Kansas, this
broke the market lor a time, but the
foreign situation brojght another ratiy.
Commission houses were on both sides of
the market and slightly favored buying.
The quiet nature ot the market, however,
helped the bears, and when the Kansas
rains were considered again they put a
selling presaure on the cereal. July fell
to 76 c and closed weak, He lower, at ifed
Hmc. Receipts, 31 cars, 1 contract; Minne
apolis and Uuiuth reported 267 cars, a total
for the three points of 2M. against 186 last
week and 233 a year ago. Australian ship
ments were 12,i.iG bu., compared to 2o.utjO
last year. Primary recalpta were 333,000 bu.,
against 372.oO a year ago. Beaboard clear
ances equalled 411.0U0 bu.
Corn was again weak, with commission
houses selling on excellent crop news as
their foundauon. Cables were compara
tively firm and the wheat strength upheld
corn prices. Conditions In the Jields, how
ever, were all that could be desired, and
the speculative confidence was badly
haken. Holders of long property ail
eemed desirous to selt. There was no at
tempt made by the leading bull house to
support the market and many commission
houses were ai'vlalng sales. Kecelvers were
reporting more disposition on the part ot
country holders to sell their cash corn.
Under these Influences prices gradually
sagged oft. July, which sold early at b2".o,
closed weak, vc down, at tilVfcC. Re
ceipts were 146 cars.
Oats were djll. with trade over a very
narrow range. Crop advices Indicated a fa
vorable situation and offerings were rap
Idly Incieaslng. The cash situation was
Improved and commission houses bought
sparingly on this Influence. The market,
however, felt the depression In wheat and
corn, and July closed easy, c lower, at
Stvtc. Receipts, 226 cars.
Provisions were strong but quiet, with
higher prices for hogs. A few scalpers
sold oroducts. but they were readily taken
up and prices made good advances. July
ork closed 7H4Jue up at w.iori(.iz;
uly lard 6c un at J 10. 20. and July ribs bait
nigner at .fog.oii.
Estimated receipts Monday: Wheat, 25
cars; corn, laO cars; oata, 236 cars; hogs,
i2)0 head.

SEW YORK STOCKS A!D BONDS.
Threatening; Break at Opening- Offset
by Strong; Close.
NEW YORK, May S. The net changes In
today's stock market show little of the
feverish and nervous experience during
the two hours' trading. hen the market
closed yesterday there was little realising
of the nature of the financial troubles re
flected In the collapse yesterday of the so
called Webb group of stocks on the Stock
exchange and In the curb market.
Today opportunity had been given to
make provision to avert the threatened
failures and to provide for support in the
stork market. The fact that no stocks are
deliverable on Saturday under contracts,
according to Stork exchange rules and that
loans made on Friday carry over to Mon
day, helped the efforts to avoid trouble.
There was a threatening break In prices
at the opening ot the stock market. In
spite of a strong upward movement In
Louisville & Nashville and Pennsylvania.
These advances were lost, however, and the
supporting orders at weak polnta were
found necessary to check Indiscriminate
liquidation. When St. Paul waa selling in
loo-share lot, at 170 there were bids In the
market for 1,000 shares at 170.
The centralized buying was not followed
up when It was seen that the selling was
checked. After the bank statement ap
peared the buying was renewed In a mora
aggressive manner and the market de
veloped a fairly buoyant tone, with the
closing active and strong. Earlier losses
were generally wiped out and net gains
were quite common at the close.
Of the stocks supposed to be Immediately
concerned In the disturbance Rutland pre
ferred fluctuated between 103 and 99, with
the last sale at 100, compared with 102 last
night. St. Lawrence & Adirondack waa
variously quoted at 60 bid, 120 asked, at 75
bid and 120 asked, with the closing quoted
quotation 60 bid and 100 asked.
The Increase In cash shown br the banks
was a total surprise, aa the heavy sub
treasury absorption during the week Indi
cated a loss of upward of $3,000,000. The re
lief thus afforded was a welcome one, In
view of the loan expansion of upward of
$10,000,000. The sharp liquidation In the
stock market. It Is hoped, has served to re
lieve the tension of the money situation, al
though an active money market is ex
pected next week.
The bond market has been affected by the
late weakness In stocks and prices were In
sympathy. United State, new 4s, regis
tered, declined and the new 4s, coupon.

decrease of $2,601, SoO, as wss estimated from
the traceable movement of money during
the week.
The striking feature of the official state
ment was the large Increase of $10.7i.4oO
In loans. This may be regarded as surpris
ing, considering the fact that there was
srood evidence of large eaiilng of loans
early In the week. Incident to preparations
for the disbursement of May interest and
dividends, and considering also that there
must be more or less liquidation of loans
due to syndicate operations of some magni
tude, posslblv resulting In part from the
payment during the week of flO.OOO.Oi") for
Pennsylvania bonds and of a like amount
for Rock Island purchases.
The deposits were augmented by $13,w,
000, or $l,44o,lfoO greater than was called for
by the Increase In loans snd In cash. The
statement was therefore out of harmony.
The required reserve was Increased $3,410.70
by the gain In deposits. Deducting there
from the Increase In cash, leaves 1.977,060
as the loss In surplus reserve, reducing
this Item to $7.4M.OUO; a year ago the sur
plus was $10,989.1ii0.
The most notable changes In loans were
by nine downtown banks, which showed a
net gain of $8,800,000. Four of these banks
Increased this Item f9.8nO.OilO, while two of
the banks Indicate a decrease of f.o"?-"-Two
Wall street Institutions gained $3,100,000
in specie, while two others lost f3.600,OiO.
The olearlngs of the Associated banks
showed an Increase of about t2l.0(O.000. It
appears probable that, as was the caae In
the prevl'-us week, the cash of the banks
waa made up on rising averages, and, more
over, the condition of the Institutions
should Improve during the current week
by reason of the fact that treasury dis
bursements for Interest were latge on Fri
day last, and payments by banks Into the
treasury, on account of retiring circulation
for May and also for the return of public
deposits, were most likely completed at the
end of the week.
That the surrender of public montv by
depository banks has been Important seems
to be Indicated by the fact that the total
In all banks were reduced fl.835.41S between
April 2 and May 1, Inclusive. A compari
son of the deposits In the banks show that
Secretary Shaw did not succeed in dis
tributing the surplus during April to the
extent Intended, the deposits of public
money Increasing In that month only f2.13,
OnO. The secretary probably will make a
strenuous effort to distribute his surplus
during this month and may be more suc
cessful. Bank Clearings.

CATTLE There were practically no
cattle on sale today so that a test of the
market was not made. Fer the week re
ceipts have been light. As will be seen
from the table above there Is a decrease
both as compared with the last several
weeks and also with the same week of
lam yar. Receipts at other points were
also light, but In spite of that fact the
tendency of prices waa downward all
around.
Beef steers made up the bulk of the re
ceipts all the week, and the quality was
fully as good as usual. Packers, how
ever, pounded the market practically all
the week with the exception of Friday, and
as a result prices are considerably lower
than they were a week ago. As compared
with the high point, beef steers of all klndj
range 25j40c lower. The greatest decline
has been on the general run of medium
cattle, while the choice heavy and handy
weight cattle have suffered the least. There
are more cases, of course, where cattle
have sold 40c lower than where they were
only 25o or 30c lower. The cause of the
Improvement on Friday was the extremely
light receipts.
The cow market has also broke In bad
shape during the past week, and Agured
from the high point of the market prices
are safely 6txy75c lower. In some cases the
grades that sold for from $3.50 to $4.50 have
declined even more than that. It now
takes a choice cow or heifer to reach $5.60.
though a few head of fancy cattle sold
up to $6.00 during the week. Anything on
the commonlfch order was very hard to
dispose of at any price, and particularly
was that true on -Wednesday and Thurs
day. The veal calf market broke In bad shape
and may be quoted $1.00 per hundred lower
than a week ago. The best grades are
now selling right around $6.00. The best
grades of fat bulla held up In good shape
and are only about 25c lower for the week,
but the commoner grades declined more
than that.
Stockers and feeders declined about 15
25c during the week, and trade was very
quiet all the week. The lack of rain
caused farmers to ship some of their stock
and prevented others from buying. The
very choice cattle, of course, found an out
let without any serious break, but aside
from those the market was fully 15 25c
lower.
HOGS The receipts of hogs were mod
erate today, there being a slight decrease
as compared with yesterday, but a small
Increase over Saturday of last week. The
market opened fairly active at prices gen
erally about steady with yesterday, though
a few loads sold a shade higher, but the
bulk of the trading was done on about
yesterday's basis. The heavyweight hogs
were ready sellers at fully steady prices
and went mostly from $7.0G'g-7 25, and
medlumwelghts went largely from K.hM
7.05. while light hogs, aa usual, were slow
and sold from f6.95 down. The bulk of the
offerings was out of first hands In good
season, but on the close of the markettthere
were a few light loads left which were
hard to dispose of and sold a shade lower.
As will be seen from the table of receipts
above, there has been a good Increase In
receipts this week aa compared with the
last several weeks, but there Is a decrease
as compared with the same week of last
year. The week, opened with an advance
which carried the market to the hlh point
of the year. The next three !;-i the ten
dency of prices was downward, but on
Friday and Saturday there was some re
action, so that the week closed a few cents
higher than last week, but not as high aa
the opening. Representative sales:

The market haa been In good shapo all

satisfactory prices were paid. Boms of the

"The bonds which so long united the gov

the mouthpiece of the sympathy uniting
the two nations, and I am extremely
pleased to let him know, through you, bow
much I share these sentiments. The
French government Is sending at the pres
ent moment missions to England and Spain,
and I myself am going to Russia. Your
mission yields nothing to them In Impor
tance and the Interest with which we shall
follow It. You will respond fully to the
sentiments which impelled me to send this
mission, representing worthily, as you will,
the army, the navy and the universities
of our dear country. You are young and
energetic men, invested with very high
state functions, and you are going to a
country where energy Is a religion and
where youth la loved. I wish you the good
welcome which that enthusiastic and
mighty people beyond the ocean has ever
reserved for those who have been there
to represent France."
