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.

SEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS.
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.

CATTLE There was a very light run
of cattle here today for a Thursday, but
the supply for the four days of thlB week
is considerably in excess of the same days
of last week, but smaller than for the
same days of last year. 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

HOOft Tnere was the heaviest run of
hogs of the week here today, but still the
supply for the four days la less than for
the same days of last week or of last year.
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,
