A little demand from the big operators strengthened prices some what and July aold up to T2V-. but later prices again receded, the extreme dullness being the chief bear factor.

Early Languid Movement t'p Gives Way Before Selling; Pressure. NEW YORK May 12.-There was a languid upward movement of prices In spots during a part of the day's session of the stock market, but before the day's trading waa over selling had developed on the largest activity of the dav, which will peg out practically all the previous gains, and established a loss of a point In United States Steel preferred and New York Cen tral. The official announcement of the Rock lsland-St. Louis & San Francisco deal was an influence at the opening, al though the direct effect waa confined to St. Louts & San Francisco. Rock Island hung back. There was trading In the out side market in the new Rock Island 6 per cent collateral hqnds when Issued find the establishment of quotations at S'.'H'ffM afforded a basis for estimating the ex change value of St. Loula & San Francisco under the plan at S2. The price advanced from last night's closing at 78 to 804, but suffered In the general reaction. A belief that the suspended Hocking Valley den! would be next taken up was re flected in the Jump of 4 In that stock. Delaware ft Hudson's 2i points advance was attributed to the election of E. H. Harrlman to the directory. Public reports had It the Wabash plan for a Baltimore outlet direct from Pittsburg were respon sible for the strength In those stocks and the Wheeling ft Lake Erles. The Gould group generally waa affected In sympathy. The strength of Colorado Fuel was con nected with reports of Rockefeller-Gould control. Covering of shorts byf professional bears clearly played a large part in the market's recovery. Their attempts yester day to uncover stop loss orders having proved unsuccessful, they were disposed to retrace their course. The opinion which greeted the monthly crop report added to this disposition, as the deterioration In the winter wheat crop was no greater than expected, with a good promise of remain ing a bumper crop. The Weather bureau bulletin offered encouragement to hope for ablg cron. Speculation remained much depressed, however. The postoonement of a strike on the Southern Pacific was considered satis factory, but the more serious outlook on the Great Northern system Offset this. Tha unbridled speculation In the cotton market waa the cause of some apprehension bv reason of the demand unon the money market, caused thereby and the fears of a curtsllment of consumption. The state ment of April exports showing a decrease In the cotton movement romosred with Anrll of last vesr Indicated the detrimental effect nf the high mice. The result upon the ex change market from the curtailed cotton movement. In view of the Inauguration of gold exports, la also dreaded. Foreign ex chsnge ruled Arm todnv and s further out wsrd movement of gold Is looked for. The reduction In the grain rate from Cblcaro to New York wss a depressing Influence on the trunk lines all day and this dTres. slon became wore acute In the late sellinr movement.

Packers all took hold freely, so that an active and stronger market was experienced... ... The big bulk of the offering again con slated of beef rteers and the quality was about the same as It has been of late. The market was active from start to finish and the prices paid were a little stronger. In some cases salesmen were able to get a lit tle higher pricea for the kinda that Just suited buyers, but the general market could best be described by calling it active and strong.' Owing to the activity practically all of the early arrivals were disposed of by the middle of the forenoon. The cow market was also active and strong. Receipts were not very heavy, so It only took a comparatively short time for everything to change hands. The medium and common grades of cows seemed to Im prove the most today, but It should be re membered that it was that class of stock that suffered last week. Bulls, veal calves and stags all continued In liberal demand at steady to strong pricea There were not very many stockers and feeders In the yards this morning and as a result anything at all desirable sold with out difficulty at fully steady prices. The common kinds, and especially common stockers, were neglected In very much the same way they have been for some time past. The demand from the country for that class has been very light, so that spec ulators are not very anxious to get many on hand. Representative sales: BEEF. STEERS. No. A v. No Av.
