CHICAGO. Mny 6. Quietness prevallel
on the Itonrd of Trade today and after rul
ing ltrm the greater part of the la wheat
closed weak, with July Mi' lower. July
corn wan orf V! c and oata a shade lower,
while provtMons ci.ised linn. the July prod
ucts being from 2Vtc to W hUher.
Belling by Incai tracers cn Ire rathe'
bearish weekly government oop reput .ut
the cause of an eauu r iv'i"g In wnet,
July being off a (hitile to ma at .ll to 73u
73o. The early weakness was Boon di.'sl
pated, however, on open buying by thi;
leader of the lonss, lollowed by a falny
good demand from locals, anil the market
developed considerable atrenifth, July fell
ing up to "3r. May wa also strong on
artive coveting by short, wh were
alarmed at the reports of damage whlc.i
came In. Later In the day n reaction oc
curred on liberal commission house felling,
together with selllngby early buyers. Afte;
seulng down to 72'ie, July rba-d 'Vf'-jc
lower at JN4i 72c. Clearances of wi.eu
and flour were, equal to 3.4,9 bushels. I"rl
mary receipts were 27i.ii;.) bu-hrls, against

ago.
Corn retained the bulllch tendency whl -h
It developed yesterday tlurlim th greater
part of the session tiday and there was
buying of good character In both May and
July. Small receipts and rather untax or
able weather, with no prefure to reil. wer.i
the early features. Th g ivernmmi weekly
crop bulletin showed considerable damage
hart been clone In the southwest by frosts
nd this helped In the bull lecllng. Lite lit
the day the market became cosier In sym
pathy with the weakness in wheat and OI
a break of lc In Mny at New York. After
selling between 44'4c and 4.i'c July closed
lower at 4INc. Ioral receipts were
JU1 cars, 12 of contract grade.
There was a good general commission
house demand for oats- the greater part of
the day and prices were strong, the un
favorable weather conJIt ons being the
principal bull factor, 'toward the end of
the session the market became pomewhat
easier, the weakness In other grains t.elng
the depressing Influence. July closed a
shade lower at Sl7c, after ranging l-etweet
SlljiSlTvc and 32c. Local reeOpis were 79
cars.
Trading In provisions wag quiet, but
prices held firm throughout the session In
spite of the lower prices of hogs. Covering

CHICAGO. May 6. WHEAT The market
hat been strong, except the last luteen
minutes of the session, when It became
weak. Prices were VtWHc over Tuesday at
their best, but this advance was all lost
and thd market closed under yesterday's
close.' There has beeir a general trade, -although
It has been light and without im
portant teature. On the late break there
seemed to be no support from the Import
ant holders. St. Louis market was strong
early on crop complaints throughout Mis
souri and Tennessee, but their advance was
also lost later. The weather map was a
favorable one, except on the Pacitlc coast,
which ia getting no rain. The weekly crop
summary said there had been some de
terioration, but that winter wheat had
escaped material Injury. English cables
were a f ruction higher and Parla some
lower. Clearances, 415,000 bu. New York
reported only five loads for export. Pri
mary receipts were 277.O0O bu., against 204,000
last year, and primary rhlpmenta were
422,000 bu., against 207,000 last year. North
west receipts wrre 79 cars, against ICS last
year. Local receipts, 40 cars, with none
contract; estimates for tomorrow, 35 cars.
CORN The market was tlrm early and
Mt'V higher, but shortly before the close
turned weak In sympathy with wheat and
on a large amount of corn accepted late In
the day by some of the elevator Interests.
The sentiment early was mostly Influenced
by the weekly crop summary, which de
clared the early planted corn extensively
killed by the recent cold weather In the
southwest. I -oral receipts were 231 cars,
with 12 contract; estlmatea for tomorrow,
P'O cars. Clearances, 326,000 bu. New York
reported three loads taken for export.
Shipping sales. 100.000 bu. Cash corn was
about He higher.
OATS The weather and crop conditions
have made a string oat market. At their
best the futures were Witc higher snd the
cash market was up VoSe. The mood waa
influenced by the weekly crop bulletin,
which stated there would be a decrease In
area by the recent cold weather. Trade
was large and general, and there was a
good demand from May shorts. Offerings
were In the way of profit-taking. Local
receipts were only 79 cars, with eight con
tract: estimates for tomorrow, 125 cars.
Clearances. lfl.OoO bu.
PROVISIONS The market orned nt
bottom prices for the day. advanced on
buying of July and September lard by
Wolff, presumably for the Cudahy Packing
company. Small packers soM lard early.
Shorts covering helped the advance, while
It Is believed there was good buying for
long account. There was a small reaction
on local offerings, however, and the market
wa.i stendv. and looks as though It would
do to buy on breaks. There were 27.000
hos and the market opened slow, S'fflOe
lower, and closed lo? lower than yesterday's
top price, $7.0,1. Estimates for tomorrow,
24.000 hed. Hogs In the west today. 71.100,
against 66,200 last week and 68.700 last year.

SEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS.
Inert Market Resists All Brokers' Ef
forts to Stimulate Activity.
NEW YORK, May 6. The stock market
today was so Inert that the utmost en
deavors of the traders did not aff.ct more
than fractional changes except in a I und
ful of stocks. The promlne.it stocks wnich
started upward on Monuay and early yes
terday continued to hold 11 consplcoou.?
position In the trading In the degree of
their activity, but their small net chsingei
In prices for the day are a strong indica
tion that profit-taking was active. y going
on In them under cover of the new points
of strength. St. Paul, the Pacifies, Lou s
ville, Reading, Erie, Baltimore c Ohio and
other stocks of this c:ass ended the diy
practically unchanged from last night's
prices, though they absorbed a large pro
portion of the day dealing". St. Louis &
Son Francisco anil Roik Island were stron
and active all day, with no apparent rearo 1
than a revival or old rumors oi the pur
chase of the former by the 'atter. These
rumors seemed to me"t with little credence
owing to the suspicion that the movement
In the stock waa designed as a cover for
protn-takliig on other points. Stocks af
filiated wltn St. Iouis A San Francisco,
however, were quite consistently strong,
Pere Marquette and Kansas City, Fort
Scott & Memphis sharing; In the strength
of the parent company. There was an ad
vance of 1'4 in Illinois Central, which
seemed to be supplementary to yesterday's
movement In Louisville. The strength of
Amalgamated Copper was nominally based
upon an advance In the London price of
copper. Brooklyn Transit enjoyed th-?
benefit of published estimates of large earn
ings from the Increasing summer weu..her
traffic. Marked weakness was shown b
th National Lead stocks, which werj at
tri uted to rumors that the pr.nclpal c m
petltors In the trade wre about to com
bine. There were no notable movements
outside of those specified, and there was a
sharp falling off In the volume of the deal
ings compared with'yesterday. The course
of the foreign exchange kept the quesln
of gold exports open all day. The steady
advance here only kept pace with the rle
of sterling In Paris, so that the expectel
triangular operation by which gold would
go to Paris was kept beyond the bounds of
troftts. But shipments of gold direct t
iondon began to come Into calculation
when the rate for demand sterl'n got
above $4.88. The Inquiry for cable trans
fers was even more urgent than that for
demand bills. The movement was clear'y
due to preparations for participation In thi
pending Transvaal loan. Every Indication
goes to show that this loan will be heavily
over-suDscriDed. so tnat intending sub
scribers are putting In bids much 1 ti exce-s
of their desired subscriptions In order that
their allotments may equal their require
ments. This process of over-subscription,
of course, emphasizes the demand for ex
change. With the opening of subscriptions
to the loan which Is expected tomorrow
there Is likely to be a sharn falltnr off in
the demand for exchange. The lical money
market was unaffected and offelnara on
time were ra'her freer than heretofore. Tha
market closed heavy and dull.
There was a good demand for bonds, es
pecially those paying 4 per cent or over on
the Investment. Total sal-s. par vnlue. J2.-
150.000. United States 2s advanced H on tha
last call.

steady at an advance of 1&3 points on the
near months and 1 point higher- to 2 points
lower on the mure distant positions. Fol
lowing the call the market ruled very Ir
regular, the old crop months showing pro
nounced strength under further covering of
shorts, which drove May up to another
new high level lor the season. The best
prices were recorded just before the close,
when May sold at 10.77c, against yesterday's
high point of lO.tjdc. The advancs in the
spring and summer options was due to a
further show of strength on the part of
the bulls and the rievelooment In the Julv
option at New Orleans, which was generally
attriDutea to trie oetur long spot situation
there. The Liverpool markets, being about
as expected, exerted little Influence. The
opening prices proved the lowest on the
near months and the close was within 1
point of the highest on May and July and
within 3 points on August. After the open
ing the new crop months still further de
clined under the favorable weather reports
and port receipts reaching over 10,000 bales,
aa compared with 9.503 last year. Septem
ber sold down 8 points from the opening,
with the other months ranging from 1 to 4
olnts lower. The general covering Just
efore the close brought about a slight re
covery, however, and the market as a

CATTLE Receipts of cattle were fairly
liberal this mornli.g, but considerably short
ot the Dig tun of ytsteraay. For the
three days this week the uupply Is about
tha same as for the corresponding days of
last year. The demand, thougn, was active,
so that the market was in very sailsiuc.or
conuit'on.
Beef steer buyers seemed to have, liberal
orders to fill and aa a result they were out
early in the morning and the market ruled
active auu lully steady from start to
finish. The big end ot the receipts con
sisted of steers, but In spite ot tnat tact
there were very few left in first hands by
the middle of the forenoon. The hanuy
weight cattle were again the favorites, but
still they did not sell much of any higher
than they did yesterday and the tuavy
cattle also sold to as good advantage ai
they did yesterday.
The cow market was active and, if any
thing, a little stronger than It was yester
day. A good many salesmen thought they
got as good prices as they did on Monday,
or. In other words, yesterday's decline was
regained. That was not true In all cases,
however, and the market could probably
best be described by calling It strong and
active, with some sales o'aioc higher.
Bulls sold freely al good steady prices
and the same was true of veal calves and
BtSS.
The stocker and feeder market was not
particularly active, but at the same time
there was not much change In the prices
paid. The supply on hand was not exces
sive and speculators bought practically
everything 1 at all decent at Just about
steady prices as compared with yesterday.

deny. Stock In tha 'Dewey" (original par alu $L00), la now held at tfl.00 per share,
and none for sale. Tha "South Dewey" being located on tha same great ledge, and n1
Jolnlng the "Dewey." known throughout tha district tha "Dewey" dyke and hvlng
the same ore body, can Justly claim to efiual. If not surpass In Talus the original

one-third larger In area. Ths ore I free milling; and assay an average of $.ll , tn
the ton, with occasional pockets running verj much higher. Low grade, free milling
ore are the mot permanent aa well as tha most profitable, for the reason that they
can be converted Into bullion at cost of II to 1.50 per ton. To continue the devcl
opment work already done, as well a to purchase tha necessary machinery for thor
oughly equipping tha property, wo have decided to placa a limited amount of Treas

HOGS The suddIv of hogs waa again
quite liberal this morning and Chicago waa
quoted mostly a dime lower and buyers here
also took off a Utile. The market here,
though, was only a big nickel lower and
trading was quite active at the decline, all
the early arrivals being disposed of by the
middle of the forenoon. At one time the
feeling was a little weaker and quite a
few hogs sold MjlOc lower, but the general
market only shows a decline of about a
nickel. The bulk of the medium weight
hogs sold from 16.65 to I6.67H and the better
weights sold from 16.674 to $6.75. The light
weights went largely from 16.60 to I6.62H.
Some of the trains were late In arriving, so
that the close waa delayed until rather a
late hour. Representative sales:
