CHICAGO, May 17. Grain trade round
little of Interest In the closing session
of the week on the Hoard of Trade today.
The Influencing factor" were not suf
ficiently marked to Induce good specula
tion, save Rome weakness In corn late In
the day, that started a short lived spurt
of activity. The pits closed with July
wheat He lower, July corn Hft'fcc lower
and July oata VqV.c down. Provisions
haggled Idly all' day and closed a shade
lower to a shade higher.
There was both weak and strong spots
In wheat during the morning, but the ad
vantage favored the former. The local
crowd was Inclined to sell. Weather was
Ideal for crops save In the northwest,
where continued rains were still retard
ing spring seeding. Advices from Mani
toba crops stated that seeding had been
done and that there was still 20.00O.flu0
bushels of wheat on hand. Prices went
He under Chicago, whereas a week ago
it was lc higher. Liverpool sent no cables.
London was weaker. A little better ex
port demand was reported and strength
ened the pit for a time. Early In the ses
sion the spread between July and Sep
tember widened to Smc, but the crowd be
came uneasy over the possibilities of an
oversold September market, and covered
some accounts. Fluctuations were narrow.
July opened H'S'ie down to unchanged at
744o to IVyiTbc and sold to "ac. Corn
weakness depressed It to 744c but the
close waa only easy, c under at H!p
74c. Receipts. 23 cars, 8 of contract grade;
Minneapolis and Duluth reported 89 cars,
a total for the three points of 112, against
-74 last week, and 235 a year ago. Pri
mary receipts, 285,000 bushels, compared
to 160,000 bushels a year ago. Seaboard
clearances equaled 672, UK) bushels.
Conditions In corn were similar to those
In wheat, weather fair, prospects of larger
receipts, etc. The early market was fairly
steady, but Kansas City and St. 1oula
turned weak late and gave as the reaaon
the much freer offerings from the coun
try. Acceptances of Chicago bids by the
country were bearish. July sold down
from H1HC to 61c, and on a little sup
port by the leading bull house reacted
somewhat, but closed weak and SUbic
lower at lHc. Receipts, 40 cars.
Oats were dull and listless. Some buying
by the leading bull In May options
strengthened July new stuff. On tho in
fluence of the other grains and fair re
ceipts, prices eased a trifle. The cash
demand was still fair. July fluctuated
only and closed So lower at 36c.
Receipts were 138 cars.
Provisions showed remarkably light ac
tion owing to the light run of hogs at the
yards. Offerings were liberal, especially
In lard, but the buying was limited, and
prices showed almost no changes. July
pork closed unchanged at $17.35. July lard
a shade up at 10.3o&l0.32H and July ribs
a shade lower at J7.Sk).
Estimated receipts Monday: Wheat, 30
cars; corn, 76 cars; oats, 146' cars; hogs,
H8.0 head. Hogs for the week, 146,000
head.

NEW YORK STOCKS AD BONDS.
Early Recession Followed by RecoT-
ery Dne to, Bank Statement.
NEW YORK. Mav 17. Prices made a
decided recession In the first hour of to
day's short session because of the appre
hension over the reports to maice tne an
thracite miners' strike a national strike,
but practically recovered after the bank
statement appeared.
A fall of nearly 2 points In Colorado Fuel
and heavy selling of United Ststes Steel
to below 40 unsettled the close and made
it Irregular at declines from the rally.
me selling or t nitea mates meei may
have been due to fears of special damage
to that industry from a possible Interrup
tion to bituminous coal mining, or It may
have been connected with the meeting of
stockholders on Monday to ratify the con
version of preferred stock and tne issue
of bonds.
The bank statement showed a decrease
In cash of over a million where a gain of
that much was expected, but this was ig
nored on th heavy reduction of deposit
liabilities, affected by loan contraction by
which the surplus reserves were recuper
ated to the extent of nearly five millions.
The week's reduction of t22.9O8.100 in the
loana account has only once been equaled.
In' the week ending May 18. 1901, the
banka reduced their loans 124,204,800. This
was the week following the panic week in
the stock market, when loans had been
made practically without limit to check
the Danlc. and when the buying to sup
port the market was followed by quick
liquidation after confidence was restored.
me past weeks events make it clear
that no such liquidation has occurred as
this loan contraction would measure. The
local trust companies have been large
lenders all the week. Banking authorities
estimate loans placed by the trust com
panies as high as $20,000,000. There has
been lending also on account of interior
money centers.
This Is without taking any account 01
the large borrowing abroad, reflected In
the foreign exchange market. It Is re
ported tnat there have neen large saies
this week bv American holders of British
consol subscriptions which have risen In
lyonnon to a premium 01 1 a-10. 1 ne pro
ceeds of these sales would represent, of
course, actual replenishment of local
money resources, Dut tne DanK s ngures
must reDresent for the most part a shift
ing of accommodations rather than a loan
reduction.
The market for bonds has grown dull
and has moved In sympathy with stocks.
United States 3e declined 4 and all other
Issues 4 per cent below the closing call
of last week.

CATTLE As usual there were no cattle
on sale today, so that a test of the market
was not made. The receipts for the week
show a slight Increase as compared with
last week, but quite a decrease Is noted
as compared with the same week of last
year. ne table above wui snow tne exact
figures.
The bulk of the offerings all the week
was made up of beef steers, and It may
safely be said that the best cattle of the
year arrived this week. The demand for
the choice heavyweight cattle, and also for
good light weights, was quite active, nd
as a result prices advanced considerably.
Sellers as a rule were calling the market
20( 30c higher for the week, which carries
the market to the high point of the season.
The top price for the year Is 87.20. which
was paid on Friday for a bunch weighing
1,625 pounds. The class of csntle that sell
from $6.40 down have not been In as good
demand as those that sell from $6.50 up,
but still they have also Improved in price
to some extent, and are nearly, if not quite,
back to the high time. The market as a
whole has been in very satisfactory condi
tion the past week, and the prices paid
compared favorably with other markets.
The good to choice grades of cows and
heifers are also higher than they were a
week ago, and the kinds that sell from
$5.25 up are Just about as high as they
have been at any time this year. The
medium grades and canners have sold
rather slowly, and while they are a little
higher than they were a week ago, still
they are not back to where they were
before the break. The market on such
kinds Is so uneven that It Is Impossible
to tell Just how much prices have ad
vanced during the week. Another factor
which Is beginning to hurt the sale of the
medium to common grades is the fact that
buyers are looking for the first signs ot
grass. Pastures are now in good condition,
so that the impression Is that stock will
soon begin to arrive, which will show the
effects of grass and on such kinds buyers
are. of course, very bearish. Commission
men are cautioning their shippers to be
very careful about buying and shipping
stock that has been on grass long enough
to show the effects.
Bulls, veal calves and stags nave all
Improved In price during tho past week
where the quality was good. Calves are
about back to the high time, as choice
veals are now selling as high as $7.00.
Stockers and feeders have been in light
supply all the week, and aa the rains im
proved the demand from the country prices
have advanced to some extent. In some
cases sales have been made that looked
easily IBS 26c higher, but as a rule the mar
ket Is not much over WxgiSc higher for the
week. The greatest advance was, of course,
on the better grades. At the close or the
week there are very few Btock cattle of
any kind left In the yards. Representative

HOOS There was a fair slsed run of
hogs today, there being a decrease of about
3,000 from yesterday and an increase of
about 600 over Saturday of last week. With
favorable reports from other points the
market here opened active and fully 6c
higher than yesterday's close on all classes
of hogs. Cood heavy hogs were In demand
and sold readily at prices a nig oc nigii-i.
ranging mostly from t7.15 to f7.25 and as hi sri
a m ? jf m.-a h nalil for a nrlme load. Medium
weights were In fair demsnd and sold at
prices ranging from t7.00 to t7.16. Light hogs
were not In great demand but sold mostly
6c higher and went from f7.00 down. Late
In the morning the market took a slump
and for a time practically nothing was
done There were about 26 loads, mostly
light stuff unsold, which the packers did
not seem to want, and the close could be
quoted very slow and weak.
The market for the week has been In
very good shape and prices have averaged
higher than they did a week ago. Wednes
day and Thursday were the high days of
the week, and also the high days since
May of 1893. On Friday there was a slight
drop, but the loss was about regained on
Saturday, jnepreseniauv-

SHEEP There were no fresh arrivals
of shwn and lambs today, so that a test
ff the market was not made. For the
w-rek a decrease is noted, both aa compared
with last week and also with last year.
So far ns the better ersrles are concerned
the market has been In good shape and the
tendency of prices has been upward. Botn
on Inmhs and on sheep. The commoner
kinds, though, were neglected and hard to
dispose of. If anything prices are a little
lower than they were a week ago on the
Inferior grades. It Is evident that packers
are anxlons for good stuff, but the common
kinds thev do not csre for.

SUPREME COURT SYLLABI
12614. State against Eskew. Original writ
allowed. Hastings, C, division No. 1.
1. It Is no objection to the validity of a
statute. Imposing an additional duty on
assessors, that no special provision for
their compensation Is made.
2. The act of 1887, Imposing the duties of
labor commissioner on the governor of the
state, and providing for the appointment

article V, of the state constitution.
8. The amendatory act of 1897 to sec
tions 2066 and 2068 of Cobbey's Consolidated
Statutes, requiring assessors to procure
certain labor statistics, Is germane to the
provisions of the original act and to the
requirement of the original section 2066,

fect that the seller has a right to trade
his own property, and that If the broker

cover no commission on It, held proper.
4. Where evidence tended to show an In

Implication, a court of equity will decree
that an equitable conversion of the real
estate of the testator Into money took
place at the time of his death.
2. In the construction of a will the In
tention of the testator. If It can be ascer
tained, must govern. Such intention should
