CHICAGO, Mux 19 Speculation In gTalnsfj
Wss lacking IP spirit tonay ana resoivwi
Itself Into a dull weather market. Local
conditions prevailed In moat of the -wln-
ter wheat country and In the corn and oata
regions. ITices declined generally, but a
later Improvement In export business
brought a alight reaction and July wheat
cloned only Vr. down, July corn '5Ho
lower and July oata He lower. Trovla
lona closed a shade to 10c down.
Once more the outside Interest kept out
of the wheat market and thua brought
general apathy among: traders. All the
Knaiiah markets were cloned becaueo of
holidays, consequently, there were no ca
bles to figure upon. In addition to the
bearish feeling that would naturally re
sult from thla dullness was the reports
showing good rains all over the winter
country and warm weather to help growth.
Northwestern points reported more flood
ing ralna In the spring country but the
fcjlllsh Influence of these advlcea were off
set bv the expectation that the fine
weather condition in winter wheat would
jnore than make up the difference Of late
spring seeding. Country offerings were
Increasing. St. Ixnils getting about 100,
f0 bushels, mostly from Kansas. There
was a most bearish feeling prevalent In
the wheat pit, but the trade changed lta
views on the relative; merlta of the July
and September options. September ahowed
2Vfcc under July Saturday and the differ
ence was narrowed to lo today by several
big houses covering September short ac
counts. July opened a shade lower to a
hade higher at 744j474o and on a small
felling pressure declined to 74Vc. Con
sidering the Idleness of the foreign mar
kets a remarkably strong; export demand
then arose. Local sales were good and
the seaboard reported 41 loada taken. This
took away much of the weak tone and
July milled to an easy close, 4c lower at
74V474c. Local receipts were 24 cars, 2
of contract grade. Minneapolis and Du
luth reported 268 cars, making a total for
the three points of 2S2 cars, against 264 last
week and 353 a year ago. Primary re
ceipts were 1.4i6,000 bushels, compared to
1,500,000 last year. Clearamles of wheat
and flour equaled 626.0U0 bu. The visible
supply decreased 1.725,000 bu.. Breadstuff a
on passage Increased 6&6,0oD tbu. World's
shipments were 9.404,000 bu.,' as against
7,794.000 bu last week. '
Corn ruled rather weak on the Ideal
weather conditions. Country offerings
were reported freer and commission house
old. The greatly Increased receipts at
this point predicted last week did not ma
terialize, but the prospects of a better
jnovement deterred the outsider from
speculating and resulted In a dull trade
and a general decline. Had it not been
for some fair support by the leading bull
manipulators the weather conditions would
probably have brought a very weak mar
ket. Export business waa practically at
a standstill, as It haa been ever since
corn worked above EOo. In sum, the sen
timent was bearish but business was so
listless that closing changes were only
fractional. July sold at 61 He, dipped to
61c and closed WWc down at lVa6H4c.
Receipts were still small at 68 cars.
Oats ruled dull and easy. Crop reports
were favorable, but the cash demand was
-ood and sustained prices from suffering
much under the Influence of the other
grains. July fluctuated only o and closed
easy. Ho lower, at aBc. Receipts were
190 cars.
Provisions felt the) weakening Influence
of outside llquldatlonand an absence of a
good support. Hog prices at the yards
were higher but declines were registered
In all products. July pork closed lOo down
t $17.26, July lard 6fro lower at $10.25,
nd July ribs a shade under at 39.67Vi

HEW YORK STOCKS ASD BOXDS.
Depressing- Factors In Force and
Market Languid and Professional.
NEW YORK. Mav 19. There was a dull
and professional stock market today, run
ning to acute weakness at times. Cover
ing bv room shorts caused some slight
improvement during the final hour, but
tne tone became neavy again ana ciosea
so.
The recent factors of depression contin
ued In force, namely, the uncertainty over
the effect of the anthracite miners' strike,
the situation In the local money market
and the crop outlook.
There waa some Irregularity In the open
ing dealings, and the hard and soft coal
stocks made some stand against depres
sion. The grain carriers, on the other
hand, were weak "and made general de
clines of a point or more. The reports
of heavy rains In the northwest were con
sidered unfavorable for spring wheat, but
the weather In the southwest was good
and winter wheat was reported doing well.
Weakness permeated the list pretty gen
erally. There was notable selling of the United
States Steel stocks, which seomed to gain
force when announcement was made of the
several protests presented at the stock
holders' meeting today against the plan
for the conversion of stock and issue of
bonds.
The relative flrmnees of the coal stocks
was due to current reports that the Na
tional Clvlo Federation was still making
efforts to settle the strike.
The monev market waa rather easv to
day as a result of the active measures
taken last week to secure additional cred
its abroad and from other sources than
the banks.
There waa a, slsnlflcant stiffening of the
foreign exchange rate, which indicates
thai a high level of interest rates la all
that diverts credits to the New York mar
ket. The opinion Is held that even a
slight relaxation In Interest rates would
lead to early withdrawals of good from
new iora.
There were some .violent relapses In
prices of high-priced usually Inactive
stocks, and International Power dropped
back 18 points again on nominal sales.
The market closed dull and heavy.
oonoi were aui ana neavy throughout.
Total sales, par value, $1,9!5,000, United
States bonds were unchanged on the last

CATTLE There was an extremely light
run of cattle here today for a Monday,
there being ' a big decrease both as com
pared with the same day of last week and
also with the same day of last year.
There were quite a few good to choice
steers Included In the receipts this morn
ing, but buyers did not take hold with
much life and a slow and lower market
was experienced. The trouble seemed to
be that Chicago was quoted lOo lower, and
some reports put the decline at 1015c.
Packers at this point naturally tried to buy
their supplies lower, while sellers wanted
steady prices because of the light receipts.
The market was slow from start to finish
and the prices paid looked rather uneven,
so that while some sales looked right close
to steady others were fully 64?loc lower
than the close of last week. Although
trading was slow the bulk of the offerings
was out of first hands In good season.
There were only a few cows and heifers
here this morning, and packers took hold
In much better shape than they did of th;
steers. The market could safely be quoted
steady to strong and fairly active. Of
course the strength was confined almost
entirely to the more desirable grades, but
still the commoner kinds sold for fully as
much, as they did last week.
Bulfs, veal calves and stags showed no
quotable change from last week, where the
Quality was satisfactory.
Stockers and feeders were very scarce
this morning, and as speculators carried
over very few from last week, sellers had
no difficulty in getting steady to strong
prices for anything that was at all gootf

HOGS There was a light run of hogs
here 'oday, as will be seen from the com
parisons In the tsble above, but with rather
unfavorable reports from other points the
market opened slow snd stesdy to a shads
lower. Most of the trading was done on a
lower basis than Saturday's opening, but
better than the close on Saturday. The
demand for good hogs was fair and they
sold for steady prices, ranging mostly from
17.16 to 97.25, with top st 37T82Vk. MedUm
weights sold mostly from 87.00 to 97.15 and
light, trashy stuff from 8700 down. Light
hogs, as usual, were not ready sellers snd
sold at prices a shsde lower throughout
the morning. The msrket wss not espe
cially active at any time, but a fair clear
ance was made comparatively early, with
no change In prices on the close. Repre

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Natural Amphitheater at Syndicate Par
Hot to Be Disturbed.
SUPERIOR PLACE FOR OUTDOOR MEETINGS
tloard of Edneatlon Probably Will
Make lp List of Janitors at
Tonight's Meeting
Magic City Gossip,
The Improvements in contemplation for
Syndicate park may place South Omaha In
a position to make a bid for all out-of-door
.idling urni in mi county mis summer.
That Syndicate park Is the most beautiful
natural resort of lta kind In the county
goes undoubted, and the natural facilities
on band for the accommodation ot large
crowds adds to Its attraction.
It Is the plsn of the owners of this
land. In building the boulevard through It.
not to cut Into tbs natural amphitheater
In the center. Whenever public speaking
has been beld In this place the amphi
theater hat been called Into requisition.
It is nothing more than a deep cut In the
surfaoe, surrounded by bills. In the bot
tom of this "pit'' the speakers' stand has
always been erected, while the people sat
on tbe grassy banka of the incline, every
one la the audience having a perfect view
of tbe speaker.
It la said that this place will be pro
vided with seats, and that a permanent
platform will be erected at the bottom. In
this way thousands of people could be ac
commodated at almost any entertainment.
Owaers ot property In this vicinity are
also making preparations to beautify the
neighborhood. As soon as the boulevard
is completed and the road to Omaha It
opened, Twentieth street, heretofore prac
tically unuiued. will probably become the
popular driveway of the town, while the
opening of O and II streets will open the
way to the river, which has heretofore been
a complex proposition. In all of these
preparations the cltiiens are taking the
utmost Interest and doing everything within
their power to push tbe work to completion.
If the grading through the park Is com
menced at the time the land company says
It will be, by July 1, the paj-k will be In
complete order for any, kind of a celebra
tion.
Janitors on the Cnrpet.
Tbe Janitors of tbe publlo schools of
South Omaha will be on the carpet at the
meeting of the Board ot Education this
evening. At tbe last meeting the board
seemed content with Its labors, after hav
ing agreed upon ninety-four ot the teach
ers, and while tbe janitor proposition waa
raised, still It waa agreed that It had bet
ter go over until this evening. What will
be done Is easily guessed, from the expres
sions ot tbe members of tbe bosrd hereto
fore. If any of the old janitors are re
talned, the number will be extremely lim
ited. There are about ten teachers yet lo
be elected and tbe llet will probably be
filled tonight. Tbe fight In prospect will
probably draw out the same large crowd ot
spectators who were present at the meet-,
lug of tbe board on last Monday eveUng.
Cnna-bt t'p on Work.
The city council baa about caught up on
Its work and there Is nothing of unusual
Interest In prospect at the meeting thla
evening. The little speech of Councilman
Adklns at last meeting regarding tbe abil
ity of the council to pay for sidewalk Im
provements will probably have the effect
of stopping any advances along this line,
ao, aside from the Introduction ot a few .
new ordinances and tbe reading and dis
position ot communications, but little .will. .
be accomplished.
Looking; After Sidewalks.
Street Commissioner Miller la diligently
Investigating the condition ot all of tbe
sidewalks of the city and will make a sys
tematic search for all defects ot - streets
and alleys which may cause the city to be
sued for damage. He says that within tbe
course ot a month or two that It will re.
quire several days' search to find a place
where a damage ault can grow out.
Another Pontoon Ontilt.
The failure of the South Omaha Pontoon
Bridge and Ferry company to successfully
operate a bridge and ferryboat across tbe
river at the foot of N street baa In do
manner dismayed a few enthusiasts here,
who claim that they will soon organise
another company and that a ferry will be
operated within a very short time. Those
who are promoting the affair say that they
will go after it In a different manner tban
the defunct -company did and that tbey feel
assured of success.
Probably lo Street Fnlr.
The business men of tbe city have not
encouraged tbe efforts of tbe promoters of
the proposed street fair In South Omaha
this fall, and aa a rasult In all probability
no entertainment ot this kind wltl be given.
Tbe fair Isst year was a losing proposition
