CHICAGO. May 14. Inactivity wss again
marked feature In both the (train and
provision pita today, but wheat ruled
firmer, July closing He higher. July corn
wa off 'ic. outs were down a shade,
while September provlalona closed from 6c
to "Vic lower.
Trading In wheat wss rather dull, al
though there was a fair trade at tlmea and
the market exhibited more strength than
for several daya. Opening prices were
steady on small receipts and steady cables,
July being a shade lower to a ahade higher
at i2!172c. The feature In the early trad
ing was the sharp decline In May. react
ing from an attempt of pit tradera to raid
the market. After opening at 78c the
price quickly sold oft to 7ic and July de
clined In sympathy to 71itj72c. The big
bull operator supported the market on the
decline and the Joes whs all regained. Late
in the day the market became decidedly
stronger on a good demand from commls
lon houses and shorts, who were Influenced
largely by the bullish news from France of
damage to the crop and also by reports of
damage to the home crop. Offerings were
rather light and July advanced to 7c. the
close being at 72Vo72c, a gain of e for
the day. May closed at 78c. Clearances of
wheat and flour were equal to 3"8.0"0
buahels. Primary receipts were 216.000
bushels, against 344.000 buahels a year ago.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts
of 112 csrs, which with local receipts ot 35
care, 3 of contract grade, made the total
receipts for the three points 147 cars,
a gainst 123 cars last week and 126 a year
Corn ruled easy, with some selling against
country offerings In evidence. There was
also some liquidation by tired holders. No
special effort waa made to support the
market and trading in general waa dull and
unimportant. After selling between tt
45Vc July closed 4rc lower at 46c. Local
recelpta were ZA cars, 11 of contract grade.
Trading In oats was light and malrny for
local account. With the exception of some
buvlng of May by shorts, which caused a
firmer feeling In that delivery, the feeling
in general was featureless and prices about
steady. July cloned a shade lower at 82'tf
32c. after ranging between 32c and 32V:.
Local receipts were 120 cars.
Provisions were weak at the start, with
considerable liquidation going on in lard
and rlbe, due to prospecta of Increased hog
receipts. The market was supported at the
decline by two prominent packers and a
partial recovery loss was made. The close
was steady, with Beptember pork 7c lower
at 16.60; September lard waa off 6c at $4.92
and down 6c at .U.

The selling preeaure In the Iron market
and the hesitation of buyer to take pig
Iron haa resulted in a further decline 1 11

Omaha Braach llO-lll Board of Trad
BaUdlng.
CHICAGO, May 14. WHEAT Tha entire
absence of any outside interest in this
morning's wheat market waa the principal
cause of a break of 10 In the May and a
fractional decline in the July early.
There was considerable support from
local professionals and with tha ad
vance there came reports of dam
age by Hessian fly from several points
in Kansas and Oklahoma. The buying of
July, which was on a considerable scale
from 72o up, seemed to have turned senti
ment strongly In favor of a still further
advance. Aside from the damage reports
there was little of Interest In the news, ex
cepting that attention was called to the
lightness of contract sticks at several Im
portant points. Here, at New York, Liver
pool and Paris, , there are signs of conges
tion allowing to the lightness of supplies
of good wheat. The Price Current ahowed
no marked change, but was unfavorable If
anything. Clearance were 216,000 bu. and
20.U00 flour, mailing a total of 306,000 bu.;
there were 25 loada taken at seaboard for
export; the local demand resulted In no
sales; estimates tomorrow, 26 cars.
CORN Dullness has been the main char
acteristic of today'a corn market. There
was some selling early Dy the houses that
put out bids over night, a'.though the re
ports did not show heavy acceptances. The
balance of the session was In the hands of
the scalpers and the range may be taken as
an Indication of how light the total trans
actions were. The cash premluma for new
corn were some higher, and there was a
demand for the better grades, which re
sulted in sales of 100,000 bu. for shipment
eaat; New York reported 12 loads taken
from there for exDort: reeelnta here were
236 cars, with 11 contract, and tomorrow's
estimate Is 135 cars.
OATS There appeared a disposition in
liquidate around the top figures and tha
stniUl outside Interest mainly on the buy
ing side relieved the local professionals of
most of their offerings. An improvement
in the oat plant la reported and further
Improvement la expected while this weather
continues. We are not bearish on oats,-but
when the September geta much over 30o
advise taking proflta. There were 130 cars
here and alt well taken; 60,000 bu. taken at
seaboard for export and 85 estimated for
tomorrow.
PROVISIONS-Market opened easy, liqul
datlon in lard caused the weakness. Re
covery was on buying of rtbs by Armour.
Pork waa somewhat neglected; very little
trade. There will be no pork made as long
as ribs are such a premium. July pork Is
cheap at present prices In a speculative
view, private estimates of stocks In store: I
rorn, i,(aw oDis, ; lard, 17,000 tierces; ribs
10.000 lbs. There were 23,000 hegs; market
slow and easy prices generally 6c lower.
Closing generally 6&l0c lower, except for
best heavy, which sold at 36.85; estimates
for Friday, 16,0n0; hogs In the west today.
71.700, against 62,000 laat week and 68.700
last year.

find It difficult to buy back stocks at the
lower levels. During the last hour today
there was a spilling out of long stocks by
tired holders grown disgusted with the
lethargy of the market. This selling move
ment was not of large volume but It wps
still In progress when the market closed
making it weak and at about the lowest. '
The rather brighter view of things taken
this morning was due principally to the
tone of the weekly review of the Iron
trade bv the leading authority In that
trade. Its statistics show that production
Is going on at a tremendous rate, April's
high record promising to be eclipsed by
thut for Msy. Notwithstanding this, the
stocks reported were appreciably less on
May 1 than on April 1. It Is pointed out
also that the founders have made large
commitments for which thev are still un
covered, so that Im the ODlnlon of this
authority a rush Is'bound to come, nut
It Is added, "it remains to be secn'at what
price the deadlock will be broken. The
United States Steel stocks and those of
Independent companies were firm In re
sponse to this showing. But further price
concessions In pig Iron were reported dur
ing the day, and the unstable condition In
the iron market had Its effect In the late
break In prices.
This morning's report of a nossihle ad
justment of the labor difficulty on the Great
Northern system was a cheering Influence.
But railroads in the nortnwest were nota
bly weak afterwards. St. Paul, In fact, led
the late decline with a drop to l below
last night. Northwestern lost over a point
and Its preferred stock, which sold last In
February at 235, was offered down to 210
before finding a purchaser for a single 100
shares.
The announcement of an export of $1,000,
000 In gold to Argentine was unfavorable,
taken Tn connection with other develop
ments In the foreign exchange situation.
Although the open market rate of discount
is declining in London, the retention of the
Bank of England rate was a disappoint
ment. The lowering of the price of gold
on the London market from the level bid
tw the Rank of Kneland. necessary, to
prevent the absorption- of the market supply
for omer accounts biiowb mm iu .ui
authorities desire to conserve their supply
In a short market before attempting a
change In the discount rate. The Paris
rate showed soma renewed pressure on
London, which Increases the probability of
further exports from New York.
The statement of our foreign trade for
April was a disappointment, the Increase
In exports Is over that of last year, proving
to be only nominal, while the value of the
Jnpots has risen nearly $12 000.000 with a
resulting reduction of the favorable bal
ance of trade. The unremitting activity In
the cotton speculation conduces to keep
alive the solicitude over the foreign ex
change situation. ... . . . ,
The bond market was quite broad but
irregular. Total sales, par value, 2.d50.0W

CATTLE There was another heavy ran
of cattle here today and In fact, receipts
were considerably heavier than was an
tlclpated. As a result packers started In
from the fltst to pound the market and
succeeded to quite an extent.
The beef cteer market waa slow In open
ing and buyers' bids were fully a dime
lower than yesterday and in a good many
instances were 10fc'15c lower. As compared
with the first of the week, the general
market Is right around 2jc lower. The
heavy cattle suffered the most and In
reality sellers had a hard time to get buy
ers to make a bid on that class early in
the morning. The prime light and handy
weight cattle In some cases sold at prices
that did not look over 16c lower. Trading
wits very slow from start to finish and It
was late before the bulk was disposed of.
The cow market was also a little lower
today, but the decline was not as great as
on steers. The good handy weights did
not sell a great deal lower than yesterday,
but the general market was right around a
dime lower. There were not a great many
cows on sale, but buyers made use of the
decline on steers to break the market on
cow stuff. Bulls were. If anything, a little
lower, but calves did not show much
change. , M .
There were very few stockers and feed
ers on sale, but It was evident from tne
way buyers acted that anything desirable
would have commanded steady prices.
The demand from the country picked up a
little yesterday afternoon, so that specu
lators cleaned up all the desirable grades
they had on hand and were all looking
for fresh supplies this morning. Repre
sentative sales:

HOQS There was another heavy run of
nogs hern this morning and prices con
tinued on their downward course, ' The
general market waa Just about 6010c lower.
The commoner hogs seemed to sell to better
advantage than the prime heavies. It be
comes more evident every day that pack
ers now consider quality more than they
do weight and that choice medium weight
bogs sell right up with choloe heavies.
The bulk of the hogs today sold at 16.35
and $6.37, with the fancy loads selling
aa high as $6 45, The commoner stuff 'sold
from $485 down. Trading was not exactly
brisk, but sUll the bulk was out of first
hands

SHEEP There waa oulte a string of
sheep and lambs here this morning, but
most of tha arrivals were either bought to
arrive or else consigned direct to local
packers. In fact there was scarcely enough
on the open market to make a fair test of
the situation. The general Impression was,
though, that good stuff would have brought
about steady prices with yesterday's de
cline. Chicago la quoted 1626c lower for
the week on lambs and the decline hera la
not far from that amount.
There Is nothing new to be said of feed
ers, as prices remain just about the same
aa they have been for some time paat.
Quotations for clipped stock: Choloe weat
ern Iambs, $6.006.60; fair to good lambs,
8K.00T6.00; choice western wooled lambs
$ BO(7f7.15; fair to good wooled lambs, $6 0ff)
26.60; choice lightweight yearlings. $6.50(1

NEW YORK.. May 14.-COTTON-Opened
Arm with prices SfllO points higher, mid
while the volume of transactions was not
so heaa as that reported, tuled tremend
ously lve and excited. The early strength
was under a renewal of the scramble lor
shorts to cover which this morning received
encouragement from the sensational
otrength of spot cotton at Liverpool, where
an advsnce to 8.10d for middling uplands
waa reported, with sales of 2ti,wo bales. At
the Initial prices here realising sales were
very heavy, but the market advanced to a'
level net 4(314 points above last nights
closing before any material In It In the
upward movement could be affected. Then
It appeared that the shorts who could be
forced were pretty thoroughly covered and
It was noted that the prolonged advance
was having the effect of attracting actual
cotton to the marKei rrom an airectioi.tt,
Including Europe. This, with the covering
previously effected, naturally eased the
market for the moment and the list soli'
off to a level net 6 points higher to 8 points
lower. Later, however, there was renewed
excitement under strong advices from
southern spot markets and smaller receipts
than expected, which brought about a fresh
scare of shorts and the covering became
quite as heavy as at any time recently.
Under thla prices sharply rallied, touching
new high records for the day and season.
May sold up to 11.44c, July to 11c and Aug
ust to 10.76c, these prices having never been
surpassed during the last ten years as far
aa these particular options are concerned,
although during the famous January cor
ner In 1901 the spot months sold up to 12.76c.
The weather todsy was favorable, the ex
ports light and while the spot market In
terest cover was less strong and In mont
Instances higher, srqall sales were reported.
These factors exerted little Influence owing
to the speculative conditions now obtaining
and the market at the close waa steady at
within about 203 points of the best of the
day and under 17 points higher on all ex
cept June, which was nominal 6 points
lower. Total sales futures were estimated
at 750,000 bales.
