Grsln speculstors traded on the weather map again today and pressed prices hard all around. July wheat closed lHc lower, July corn lo down and July oats He lower. Provisions cloned unchanged to 6c hlsher. Thers was a fair show of strength In wheat at ths outset on the Influence of ? yesterday's cash business and more rains ast night In ths over-wet northwest. Trad era changed their stand, however, on later reports of seasonable weather. The weather map showed clear weather southwest and what was still more Important an end to ths wet weather In the northwestern spring country for the Dresent. Both these locall ties sent In liberal selling orders on the weather news and their own markets were weaker. This caused local speculators to lose sight of bulltshly small rscelpts, Kan sas crop Damage reports ana iainy nrm cables. Longs deserted their holdings and threw stuff overboard, but Inasmuch as many shorts covered their accounts yea terday buyers were scarce, except at good declines. When the bears understood this position they besan to hammer the nit stiffly and prices broke rapidly. Trade generally was not very heavy and the mar ket showed a drasslna disposition most of the time. July opened '(tc to a shade tip at lbo to ?6Hy.'ic, dropped to 74c and closed weak, lH31c lower at A good export and cash business had little lnnuenee on tne maraei. iteceipis were si cars, t of contract grade; Minneapolis and Dulath reported log cars, making a total for the three points of 140 cars, against 139 last week and 220 a year ago. Primary re ceipts were 304,000 bushels, compared with 449.000 bushels last year. Seaboard clear ances In wheat and flour equaled 2W1.0U0 bushels. Chicago sold 20 loads for export. Corn started with a good show of strength on firm rabies and a fair cash Situation. The leading bull crowd also was buying some July snd selling September. The strength, however, was short-lived, for when whest broke the bulls began to consider the favorable crop reports and re duced their support. Bears Jumped Into ine marsei ana soia snort ana nroke prices over a cent. Trade waa not lane and the ; greater part of ths session the market araggea. juiy duii manipulation was still talked of. but Inasmuch as the supposed manipulation did not hold prices up many lost faith In the bull situation. July sold front He down to 60c and closed weak, H4e lower at SOSc. Receipts were 75 cars. Oats were dull and suffered from the de . presslon In com and wheat. Crop advices were favorable and the cash situation still good. There waa little support on the de cline and July sold from ibr. to a weak close, c down at 36Ho. Receipts were 157 cars. Provisions were dull and fluctuated nsr rowly. The weak hog situation at the yards offset the general disposition to buy when the market opened. Ribs snd lard were In good demand, ' especially by packers' brokers. The weskenlng grain markets also worked against the advance and the early gains were not held well. July pork closed unchanged at 118.96. July lard a shade higher at $10.10 and July ribs 6o up at Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat 80 cars; corn, 105 cars; oats, 140 cars; hogs, S8. head.

Today's stock mar ket reflected an unavailing effort to arrest the downward tendency. Prophecies over anthracite labor settle ment continued very confldent from sources with every mesns of suthorltatlve Infor mation, but the flat contradiction of the rumors received from Bcranton, where the miners' delegates were in convention psusmI confusion and uncertainty, and t suspicion that the Wall street outgivings were In the nature of "tips" designed to Influence the stock market. As a matter of fact, Reading, which was accepiea as the Index of the anthracite situation, was lifted a shade above last night. The reports of the condition of the crops and the weakness of ths grain market were a help to the grain carrying roads, and they made a good advance In the course of the day's session. The contin ued sggressive strengtn or i.ouisviuh Nashville snd Chlcaso. Indianapolis A Louisville and various smaller subsidiary lines gained additional Influence from the rerponse in Southern Railway, which wss considered significant of closer relations In tne wnoie soutnern group, masiivuic, rhitinniMK A Hf Ixuls: Chicago A East ern Illinois and Evansvllle A Terre Haute all shared In the movement. Illinois Cen trsl wss heavy throughout, falling at one time m. The advance in Kansas City Southern was attrlbutea to me lormauuu of a pool in the stock. All of the, strons points, however, yielded to the liquidation during the last hour caused by the rslse In Reading to 24 under last night. Practically all of the gains were wiped out and the level of prices car ried below last night. Realizing sales were much In evidence In Chicago Great Western, which lost 2'4 of yesterday s 4 nolnt sain. Tennessee Coal lost 4 points on account of the annual report, which was considered discouraging. United States Bteel stocks did not es cape the depression notwithstanding the extraordinary exhibition of last year's transactions by tne company. The money market wss called easier to day, the maximum loaning rate reaching 15 per cent, with a subsequent recession to 6 per cent, but the decline In the foreign exchange rate ceased In response to easier money and discussion was renewea 01 goia exports. Country receipt J of Louisville A Nash ville stock from foreign holders are very large and represent requirements for for eign payments. The here are renorts of large loans during the week, made in the stock market for the account of outside Institutions, but It is unworthy of notice that $600,0(10 in cur rency has gone to New Orleans this week and New York exchange at Chicago ruled today at 20c discount. The market closed heavy. The tone of the bond market weakened In sympathy with stocks. Total sales, par value, $4,035,000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call.

A tew hogs sold on thst bssls. but later on the feeling Improved, so that ine ouik or tne nogs did not sell over nickel lower than yesterday. Toward the Close trading became quite active and the better grades sold st right around steady prices with yesterday. Even though re ceipts Were liberal tndav anil the, nurkat wss slow in starting, everything wss sold in gooa sesson.

Van Msndenbach de Rooy, a Boer fighter late of Delarey's staff, has arrived In Omaha to deliver an address to night at Germsnla Turner ball. Nineteenth and Harney streets. In behalf of his coun trymen. J. H. Boonstra Is to be chairman of the meeting and there are to be re marks by Rev. Thtels and perhaps others, and music will be furnished by tbe Ger man Singing society. Captain ds Rooy spoke In Council Bluffs Sunday night and will go from here to Sioux City and later, perhaps, to Lincoln. He has been In this country fifteen months and acquired fair mastery of the English language, though be give It many picturesque twist and turn when be warms to bis subject In an Interview he said: "I take no stock tn the rumors of peace. for now the Boers have all to win and nothing to less by continuing the fighting. Their bouses are gone and their families herded In camps, so they may as well re main tn the field, where they can draw on Kitchener for food supplies as often as they feel In a humor for raiding bis forces. If they surrendered now they would be paupers, wttb nothing attained by tbe sacA rifleea of the past. "Nor should the general public take much stock In the reports that come from the War office In London, as tbe censors there mutilate or distort reports as badly aa they dare. I believe Kitchener Is send ing In the truth about things, but tbe office doesn't dare to have that truth be known. As an Illustration of tbe exaggeration that is being Indulged tn, I remember that a London paper we found on a British officer we captured gave an account of an en gagement of ours and reported our losses aa 250. The truth was that we lost just four. I don't know wbsre they got the others unless they Included tbe dogs, monkeys and horses that may have been killed one way and another. "It is easy for anyone to gee) that King Edward wishes the trouble disposed of be fore his coronation and the Boers all chuckle to think what a good joke It would be to capture another Lord General 8o-and-So on tbe eve of that eventful day." sells aK,. kcX -L .: """.a.
