WEATHER REPORT GOVERNING FACTOR laltial Bale In Cereals Viilrttl lamp Follow Weak Ho Market lad aces Llqaldatloa 1 Provt Iobs) and Price Recede. CIIICAOO, May lB.-Oraln trade waa a dull and drowsy affair today. In the ab Irnca of any business-like animation, and Willi report of gooci weather for all crons, lower prices resulted. July wheat cloned lower, July corn c down and July oats VO'Hc lower, Provisions closed Vhat ruled easier after a flight Initial ulge that wit occasioned Dy nrm ca fu Rutim early buvlna Wan done by a few commission houses and for the first knur e Arm tone waa mantfeat. July opened Vfc-Vi to Wao higher at 75bc, but Undo waa light and unimportant and a few big longs offered etiift on the hard spots. Weather reporta showed rains where moat needed and clear weather northwest, where farmers have been waiting for the spring seeding. Harvesting waa reported tn Texas. Statistical Journals Issued bear ish reporta, which discounted the value of the recent government estimates. The outsider was out of the market and re- forts from St. Louis showed declines here that Indicated free movement. There waa some pressure from the southwest and the northwest. July sagged off to f&Ho. Corn strength that had been help ing wheat seemed to be ebbing away and It waa only a fair export buslnesa that Iaved the close from marked weakness, .ate the seaboards reported 14 loads taken and July closed easy, c lower, at 7&4iU7Me. Receipts, 11 cars, 11 contract; Minneapolis and Xiuluth reported 115 curs, a total for the three points of 126 cars, against 124 last week and 247 a year ago. iVrlmary receipts were 173,0no bushels, com pared to 316,J0 bushels last year. The Seaboard clearances equaled 446,000 bushels. Corn was poorly supported and suffered accordingly. At the start firmer cables ttarted a tittle buying and July opened ifo'Sc up at 63V4j63c. Trade In general 'was as dull as In wheat, and though there was a strong situation to hold prices up, the trading was so much of a local character and ao Interesting that declines soon followed. Crop advices from many sections were favorable, although there were reports from some quarters of damage by cutworms. After several of the big houses had sold somewhat freely and July had receded to 62c, the market dragged dull and heavy. July closed weak. Ho lower, at 62c. Receipts, 38 cars. The seaboard reported 4 loads taken for export. Oats suffered another decline. The early firmness that came from sympathy with the strength In other grains was soon dissipated through an absence of support and on fair offerings. The cash situation was reported still good with sales of 1(10,000 bushels. July sold from 37Vc down to a weak close, tj6Q lower, at S6Vjc. Re ceipts, ir5 cars. Provisions were weak and heavy the greater part of the session. Early liqui dation was Induced by weakness of the hog market and prices opened lower. Packers gave some support that brought a reaction, but free offerings turned The sentiment and the close was weak. July closed 17Hc down, at $17.42H; July lard, 7c lower, at $10.35W10.37V4, and July ribs. 6c lower, at $9.72Hf9.75.

Volume of Business Continues Dons Hill In Stock Market. NEW YORK. Mav IS. The nasslve con dition of the speculation was not changed today. The volume of the dealings fell away to what Is proverbially known as midsummer dullness. This condition of the stock market Is by no means abnormal at thla season, due to the usual shifting course of money resources and the uncer tainty of the crop season. Overwhelming importance Is attached to the fate of the corn crop this year, espe cially In view of the high prices of that cereal owing to laBt year's shortage and the present prospect for only a part of a winter wheat crop. So far as the situation Is strained and unnatural In any degree la due to the recent efforts of pools and speculative plun- gera to etir up an unwarranted activity in the speculation and to bid up prices to unfltablo heights. The money flurry last week and on Monday was the corrective Influence and has resulted In the present conditions. The dullness In accentuated, of course, by the additional element of uncer tainty In the threatened strike of anthracite miners. The assc:r.uuiis cf the Boer peace conference also was a possibly repressive Influence, at leant in checking the buying for I ondon account, which has been In evidence here for several days past. It is well recognised now that this buying represented mostly the transfer of holdings from New York to London, to take ad vantage of the cheaper money rate there, and the demand on the London money market made Itself felt yesterday In the stiffening rates. There waa a hardening tendency also In Paris and Berlin, which might be due as well to the American de mand for credits. Our own sterling market steadied and rallied slightly today, mark ing the resumption of the balance of sup- Ely ana demand in the local money mar et. Most of the nrlce movements of any consequence in today's stock market might be traced to the influence of tne acquisi tion of the Chlcaa-o. Indlananolts A Louis ville Jointly by the Southern Railway and Louisville & Nashville. The strength of the Chicago & Alton and Kansas City Southern stocks was obviously based on a speculative assumption that those roads might be available for a sim ilar north and south Junction. In spite of the strengthening or competing lines Dy the deal Illinois Central was strong. Lou isville & Nashville was distinctly heavy, possibly on realizing and the early de mand Tor soutnern nanway soon men out. The Chleaa-o. Indianapolis & Loulsvllla stocks themselves were decidedly feverish, relapsing violently after advancing. A drop In Chicago & Eastern Illinois, which has been discussed as a possible out let for Loulsvll e & Nashville, reflected disappointment. The upward movement In tne junior vanoerDiits naa lis inception in Ixke Erie & Western, which seemed to be Influenced by a speculative theory of re lation to Chicago, inaianapons r iouis vllte. Virginia-Carolina Chemical had the benefit of Its increased dividend. Amalgamated Copper was firm, on the better conditions in the trade. General Electric jumped 6 points without explanation. Movements otherwise were trivial ana anuiing. The bond market waa dull, but Tteald steady. Total gales, par value, $2,276,000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call.

Packers seemed to be quite anxious for supplies and aa a result the market held up in good shape. Beef steers again made up the bulk of the offerings and there were a number of bunches that were good enough to bring right around $7.00. Anything carrying weight and flesh was In good demand at fully steady prices and practically every thing answering to that description was out of first hands In good season. The commoner kinds, though, were not in very good demana, ana, in fact, sellers found It a difficult matter in some cases to dls- tose ot what they had at steady prices, nless the quality was very common. though. Just about yesterday's prices were paid. i ne cow mantel was aiso in good Shape and anything desirable met with ready sale at good firm prices. The same us was the case with steers, the common kinds did not move quite aa freely, but still they brought Just about the same prices they did yesterday, and everything was out of first hands In good season. Hulls, veal calves and slates all sold at good steady prices where the quality was good. Stockers and feeders were scarce todov and the better grades were picked up freely hi isuuu tn in pin-re. i ne cummon cattle were of course neglected, the same aa they have been all along, but there was no par ticular cnangt touay in the prices paid The uemanu irom tne country is better and twenty-six cars were yesterday.

The market at all other points waa quoted lower this morning and as a result prices eased off a little here. As a general thing the good weight hogs sold right around a nickel lower, though the decline was rather uneven. The light hogs were harder to dispose of than usual and until the laat end It waa almost impossible for sellers to get even a bid on such kinds. When packers did try to buy them their bids were $eitrally frgloc lower than ) as tax day, 2S.684 10,509 34.213 li.Hui 36,149 Iv,8i4 26, 08 U.i.sS 27, b99 24,66 211.499 so that the close cf the market was very slow and weak. The good weight hogs old largelv from $7.10 to $7.25 arm as high at IT.ito waa rald. The medium weights went from $7.ou to $7.10 and the llgnter loans sold from $7.00 down.
