Mav t WHEAT The fire. setback to the crop has been rrcor.1' d triH meek, csused ry a iretaing spe.i e tending as tar south as Missouri and some reports say even through Ok ahoma. Thi plant In mot sections Is nut tar enju-th a.ong to sustain serious injury, and as thi cold lasted only rart of one mgiit we In cline to the opinion thst the carnage has not been material. It la important, how ever, if only aa an Indication of what th t speculator may look for In the way of tares before the crop Is harvested. The pre.ent outlo k Is beyond qjest on all thai one can afk, but harvest Is a It ng vim. off and It la well to be on the lnoko.it .or Just such contingencies as thU colj tna . LHlly clearances have averwged targe anJ there has been a normal domestic 10 1 sumptlon In spite of the threa.s of thj northwestern millers to cloe dawn. Stocks abroad are low tnd even th I. "hand to mouth" method of filling Imme diate requirements Is fore ng them to co ne to the American counter tor wheat In con siderable lots. Toward the close of the week there has been an Increased movenvnt trom the northwest, with the evident vUw of hav.ng It here in case of a repctl.lon of last Sep tember's operatlona by the party In con.rol of tho May option. There U no other In ducement to move it to tnls market while the mills there are using wheat on auch a large scale. The rlce of September wheat looks hi h In view of the almost perfect outlook of h new crop, and we think It a safe sale above 70 cents. CUUN The east, has come to the front this week and bought large quantities of I corn. This Is the first business of any pto portions since the failure of the crop of i&jO, and now that corn hus Started throug 1 Its old channels again there Is lomi lik li hood of the drain on local atocka that haa been predicted eo often. With the lmprovment In the ca aitua tion and with a continuance of the ship ments out of store here, we expect to see n thorough cleaning up of local stocks, and lion an Inducement In the Shane of an im proved price to Invite the holders of the re serve to repieniwi tne supply. OA 18 if tne action 01 tne near ruturea of this grain has been a severe disappoint ment to the bulls they have not tvlnced heir disappointment by loosening up. While the Interest in May ouis n ay not be a large one at the same time It Is In proportion to the stocks, and with proper handling may prove successful. 1 ne casn situation snows t.o cnange. At tention aside from tne May opetatl.m seems centered In the new crop outlook. Our advices on this are to the effect that while operations are some later than UJtial and the area possibly smaller that the out look la fair. Oata are not hleh-pticed and nothing short of a record-breaking crop would seem to us to warrant any special Dearunne s. PROVISIONS Hogs increased In iece;ua and the result was quite a loss In prices. provisions followed suit r.nd tne decline was helped by the foreign speculators, whs are bearish to a man. The situation is unsettled, although after auch a remarkable drop in lard and ribs prices ought to Improve. Still the feeling Is mat pricea win not De very nign ror loraj time. Buying on sharp declines and selling on sharp advances Is the safest way to operate. Packing last week, iUO.COl heal hogs, against 33&.CO0 last year.

The almost lifeless condition of today's stock market reflected the continued Indlfferencea of all classes. The demand for the public utilities aeemed due to covering of short contracta by bears. who hoped for a decline as a result of the establishment of the franchise tax. The renewed rise In the silver market started the National Railroad of Mexico stocks up ward again and smelting stocks were slightly benefited from the same cause Pennsylvania's net earnlnga for March were a disappointment, the gain In the grosa for the lines east of Pittsburg and Erie being practically wiped out by the operating expenses, while for the lines west of Pittsburg a aubstantlal net decrease was shown. Olflclal expressions of a hope that future statements would make a better showing Induced some buying of the stock. The Improved weather conditions served to relieve apprehension over the effect on the cropa. although the newa from the west was of considerable damaxe bv frost. Soma pront-iaxing was in evidence before the appearance of the bank statement and the level ot pricea fell below laat night all around, when tha statement waa published. The expecledly large loan expansion kept even pace with the Increase In the re sources by reason of cash recelpta. ao that the change In the aurplua reaerve Item waa merely nominal. The large demand for loans Is believed to be due to the week's payment ot the excise taxea In New York and to a transfer of loan obligations from foreign lenders to the local market. The selling movement was not pursued and the market steadied before the close, which was, however, nearly stagnant. United Statta new 4s advanced per cent, aa compared with the cloalng call of laat week. t The following are the quotations on the New York Bto".k exchange: U4 Texas 4k Paelfle. T.. a L t '. V.

Ltd. which In the strictest and broadest acuse la s legitimate Investment not a mere pros pect. The property consists of ten full mining claims (208 acres) Immediately ad Joining the great "Dewey" mine, whose fabulous richness thn most skeptical dare not deny. Stock In the "Dewey" (original par value ll.O(i), Is now held at $8.00 per sharf . and none for sale. The "South Dewey" being located on theeatne great lodge, nnd ad joining the "Dewey," known throughout the district aa the "Dewey" dyke and having the eame ore body, can Justly claim to equal, if not surpass In valuo the original "Dewey" (when the same amount of development work baa been done) sluce It la one-third larger In area. The ore Is free milling and assays kn averaKO of J6.ll to the ton. with occasional pockets running very much hiahpr. Low grade, free milling ores are the moat permanent as well as the most profitable, for the reason that they can be converted Into bullion at a cost of fl to 11.60 per ton. To continue the devel opment work already done, as well as to purchase the necessary machinery for thor oughly equipping the property, we have decided to place a limited amount of Treas. ury Stock on sale at 10 centa per share. The first ten stamp Installment of our hun dred stamp will be shipped Aug. 15, 1403. and we feel fully warranted In believing that we can earn dividends within 30 days from the time our mill Is running. We own the property outright. There are no salaried officers. The stock (par value II. 001 la non-assessable, with no personal liability. The present allotment now offered at 10 centa will be advanced from time to time, as may be decided upon by the Board of Directors. The time to make money In any enterprise la between Its organization and Its first dividend. Before purchasing stock wo want you to write for our prospectus, giving full particulars of our property, together with a most Interesting description of "Thun der Mountain," which conservative investors admit Is destined to become the greatest gold mining camp the world has ever known. 1 HE SOUTH DEWEY MINING CO., Ltd.

Receipts for the week, however have been -ery liberal, aa there la an Increase over last week amount ing to 1.000, and as compared -sitn the same week of last .year the gain amounts to about 8,000 heatf. The demand, though, haa been brisk most all the week, and prices have held up In a very satisfactory manner. Beef steers made up the bulk of the re ceipts and the quality was good. Com paratively few short fed cattle arrived, nearly all of them being well fattened cattle. Owing to liberal recelpta packers pounded the market on Tuesday In rather bad ahape. but since that time the general tendency haa been upward, so the lose of Tuesday haa been Just about regained, leaving prices In the aame notchea they were on Monday. There has been some uneveness to the trade irA yesterday it waa noticed that packers did not take hold of the heavy cattle aa freely as they did of the medium weights, and some sales men are calling heavy cattle lust a lltt'.o lower than Monday. The bulk of the cattle romlng forward are selling from 34.60 to 34 f6. with the better grades selling largely from 34.90 to 35. 10. A strictly prime bunch, though, would undoubtedly bring considerably more than that. The cow market haa followed much the aame course as the prices on steers. Tues day there waa a sharp decline, but the loss haa since been regained and the de mand for the better grades seems to be In Very satisfactory condition. Cannera and cutters have been more or less neglected for some time past. Cannera and common cut ters are selling largely from 32 26 to 3326; fair to good cows, S3 25 to $3 90, and the better Frades from 34.00 to 34.40. Good handy welarht bulls have been sell ing freely all the week at atrong pricea, but the heavv welehte have Bold rather un evenly. The fair to good bulls sell largelv from S3 00 to 33.75. and the better grades from 33.76 to 34.10. Veal calves have been I In brisk demand and best grades sell as hlrh as 16.75.
