CHICAGO, May 7. Heavy liquidation In
Wheat by prominent holders resulted in a
decidedly weak market today; May was ol
14e July coin oloei 4c lower, wild oat
unchanged. Provisions were steady, the
July products closing from a. shade 10 24c
higher.
The sentiment In the wheat pit was ex
tremely beurlsh, outside markets Iwlrin
lower, while cable were also lower anil the
weather favorable for the growing crop.
Under these Influences the market otenod a
tritle easier, July being a i-hude h.wen at
-hr. Commission houses were liberal sel
lers early In the day and there was also
relllng by the brokers, which was credited
to the leading Ion, who was supposed to
be getting out of his July holding. Liter
In the day the smaller holders bg,in to
follow this lead and the price dmip-d
hruptlv. July selling off to ilfic, w.nls
May declined to i7c. The lsller montn.
however, rallied during the last mianer
hour of trading: on covering by shorts and
sold up to l,c, the closing price b;l:;g
774c, a net loss of 14c fnr the diy. July
closed steady at the decline at 71S'iil!V'. a
loss of lc. Clearances of whc.it and llour
were equal to 414.0D.) bushels. Primary re

ceipts of 34 cars, t of contract grade, mace
today's receipts for the three points of lit
ears, against 114 last week and 124 a year
The weakness In wheat had but little ef
fect on corn and as a rule the market
showed firmness, wltn a fair demand and
small offerings. The volume of busines
was light. The weather, was more favor
able for planting, being generally fair, with
moderating temperature. Receipts wer
moderate and caHh demand fairly gncd.
After selling between 44W444C and 44'c
July closed 4c lower at 444c. Local re
ceipts were 182 cars, with 4 of contract
'oafs were oulet and held steady, not
withstanding the break In wheat prices.
Commission houses sold quite freely at the
opening, but the offerings were readily ab
sorbed. Receipts were small and the cash
demand somewhat Improved. There was a
little late selling in sympathy with the
lower prices in wheat, but the close was
steady, with July unchangel at 714e, after
ranging between 31Mt314c and S2'o224c.
Local receipts were 125 cars.
There was scattered local soiling or pro
visions early In the day on liberal receipts
of hogs and lower prices at the yards, to
gether with reports of labor troubles, but
after a time shorts covered freely slid the
market rallied, developing quite a firm ten
dency. Trading In general, however, was
rather light. Julv pork eloel 2vie.n,1 I"

HEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS.
Prices Go Down, While Brokers Spec
vlate as to Cause.
NEW YORK, May 7. Prices went down
ward on the Stock exchange today without
any clear reason, although the theories
current for the decline took a wide range
over the whole financial field on the part of
the board room traders, who had the mrr
ket to themselves. The simple explanation
seems to be that the professional operators
who have been buying and bidding up
stocks to A moderate extent during the
week find themselves with ltttle company
and feel that they have reached the limits
of their courage In speculative commit
ments. The process of selling to take
profits flnda as narrow a participation in
the market as that during the advance.
Prices consequently recede easily, nnd In
pretty close proportion to the advances on
the same volume of dealings. The factor
which came In for most discussion today
In seeking an explanation for the decline
was the problem of the foreign exchanges
and possible gold exports. The develop
ments I11 connection with the new TraiiH
vaal loan, for which subscriptions were
open today, were of foremost significance
as bearing on the exchange question. The
terms of the loan are much as expected
and the strength of sterling reflected the
continued direction of funds toward Lon
don. Subscriptions for American account
are small, but the maturity of fore'gn leant
In this market makes the London pressure
for money effective In New York. Only 3
per cent of the subscriptions Is required to
be paid on application, but the over-subscription
promises to be so great that It is
estimated that applicants will not receive
over t per cent of the amounts asked for.
On this basis the 3 per cent on the tot il
application would amount to something
over the total sum of the full subscrlp'lon.
The Immediate pressure for credits In Lon
don la thus easily understood. The pres
sure on the exchanges In favor of London
Is likely to relax very suddenly when the
subscriptions for the loan are closed. Mean
time the question of gold export" Is still
open. Another cause t which the day's de
pression Is attributed was the slurrp In the
sinking fund bonds of the United States
Shipbuilding company. Those bonds have
never had more than a nominal market,
but their last sale price on the exchange
was SO. They were opposed at that price
today and then nt successive concession
as large as 5 per cent at a time. Sale
were made as low as 49. No explanation
of this Incident was offered. The activity
of the bear faction was apparent In the
circulation of rumors of the serious illness
of a conspicuous operator In stocks an''
also In vague assertions of a coming bond
Issue by a western railroad for as much as
$35,000,000. Neither of these rumors was
substantiated. Favorable factors were
wholly ignored. There was a much tretter
show of authority todav for assertions that
the suspended Rock Island and St. Ixiuls &
San Francisco deal was about to be. con
summated The market closed in fact with
a general conviction that an announcement
was Imminent. A general decline tn wheat
was calculated to relieve any anxiety as to
that crop, owing to last week's weather.
Grangers and Pacifies were not affected by
the late liquidation. The late weakness cf
the foundry Iron market and rep vr s o"
labor disputes on the Great Northern and
the Southern railway may have had some
Influence In depressing te "-atket. The re
tention of the Bank of England rate cau ed
some reflected depression In the London
market. Amalgamated was well susta'ned.
appsrently on the rise In the London price
of the metal. The market closed steady,
but only slightly above the lowest.
Ronds were Irreeular. Total sales, rar
vslue, $1,410,000. United States 2s. coupon,
advanced N and the new 4s declined Vi on

for fat cattle this morning, to that, al
though receipts were QuLe liberal, tne
market was active and fully steady on all
dealrable grades. Buyers started out early
and the bulk of the receipts was disposed
of In good season. . . .
Local packers were again liberal buyers
of beef steers and the market ruled active
at fully steady prices. In ome spots the
prices paid lookod a little stronger but
there was hardly enough 'hang from
vesterday to be worthy of mention. It
was very evident that buyers were anxious
for supplies and salesmen had no tumble
in disposing of either the heavy or "Bht
cattle at fully as good prices as were paid
yTherdcow market was a's? active i .ni
aleadv Some salesmen thought they had a
little betterluck than they did Y'rgy.
but. the same as was the cose w th beet
steers the change was so small as tl
hardly be worth mentioning There were
not very many cows on sals and every
thing was out of first hands at an early
h(Bnil veal calves and stags alto sold
freely at firm prices.
The stocker and feeder market was not
nartieularly active and speculators were

HOGS Ther .r. tynt aa manv li n trm nn
sale this morning as there were yesterday,
but, owing to a break In prices at other
points, the market continued on Its down
ward course at this point also. At the
start a few sales were made that did not
look a great deal lower, hut aside from
those the general market wss right around
a nickel lower than vesterday's average.
Trading was not very active at the decline,
but still the bulk of the arrivals was dis
posed of In good season. Medium weight
hogs sold largely at $6.60 and I6.62H, while
the good weights went from 16.65 to $6.70.
The lighter loads sold from $6.60 down.
Today's decline takes the market to the
lowest point reached since January 28.

SHEEP There, was
small
supply of
sheep and lambs In sight this morning and.
the same as has been the case for some
time past, the quality of most of the stuff
was rather on the common order. Buyers.
though, took hold freely and the market
ruled active snd fully steady on all kinds.
It was very evident that packers are get
ting hungry for good stuff and that they
are willing to pay good prices In order to
get It. Some clipped lambs sold for 86.25
and some Mexican yearlings brought S5.50.N
but neither nunen could be caned choice.
There is nothing new to be said of the
feeder situation.
Quotations for clipped stock: Choice west
ern lambs, J6.O0fi6.50: fair to gqod lambs,
