WHEAT DROP, OATS UNCHANGED Provisions latter from Pleattfal Hoc apply, t Clos frona nickel ttowa to Shade Higher at Eil of Dar. CHICAGO, Way II. There were no fea ture of Interest In trading on the Board of Trade today anl the markets In general were eaay, July wheat closing o lower, July corn off HJCHc, with oata unchanged. Provisions were easier, the September prod ucta closing from to lower to a shade higher. WHEAT Ruled rather quiet and the un dertone waa easier. Opening; prices were off a trifle on reports of rains In Manitoba and on unfavorable cables, the action of the French minister of agriculture In an nouncing that the price of wheat did not Justify a reduction In the Import duty on that grain being an Important feature. July opened a shade to Wac lower at 73SSf73c. and, with considerable long wheat lor sale and some selling for short account, the market became weaker. July declining to tt'ai3c. .Later In the day reports of dam age came In from the southwest, end ns these reports were accompanied by buying orders from St. Iouis, a corresponding change In sentiment was experienced, the market becoming quite strong. Toward the close, however, offerings were too liberal for the demand and prices eased oft again, July closing o lower at 73V73'!c. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 373.300 bu. Primary receipts were 33i,6t bu., against 40ti,0ii0 a year ago. The amount on ocean passage Increased 3i,(Hp0 bu., while the visible supply decreased 1,791, Ota) bu. Min neapolis and Duluth reported receipts of 2"3 cars, which, with local receipts of 17 csiTt, one of contract grade, made total re ceipts for the three points of 220 cars, against 245 cars last week and 282 cars a year ago. CORN Experienced a good volume of business during the session. Receiving houses sold freely s gainst country accept ances. The selling was due to more favor able weather" and easier cables. The mar ket held remarkably steady, however, with a good commission demand for July, which was the main supporting feature. The late weakness In wheat had a depressing Influ ence and the close was easier, with July c lower at 44c, after selling between 44V4C and 4414c local receipts were 137 cars, with 8 of contract grade. OATS Were relatively firm In spite of the easier tone in other grains but trading was not large and confined mostly to local traders. The strength was due to buying; hv one or two Influential hulls whose offerings were somewhat limited. The market lacked any features and prloes showed little change. July closed un changed at 33H'8334c, after selling between 83o and 334c. Iocal receipts were 79 cars. PROVISIONS Liberal receipts of hogs and lower prices at the yards caused weak ness In provisions at the start. The market received some support from packers at the decline, and the tone In general became firmer.

WEAHB GHAI COMPANY. Omaha Branch 110-111 Board of Trade Building;. CHICAGO, May 18. WH EAT There has been a fair-sized trade in wheat, with bearish tendencies predominating. The range has not been a wide one and the principal influence was the punitive an nouncement by the French minister of ag riculture that duties would not be reduced for the present. Foreign crop advices show some Improvement. World's shipments were 10,8M,000 bu. The Russian contribu tion, 8,128,0(0 bu. The weather niip shows some Improvement. There were some more complaints In the southwest, most of them by way of St. Louis, but we have It from one of the best operators in the trade down there that there Is little foundation in fact for any serious damage talk, and still think well of sales of September wheat. Clearances were 372,000 bu. New York re ports 20 loads taken for export. luteal re ceipts, 17 cars, with one of contract grade; estimates for tomorrow, 45 cars. CORN The market was weak early on the large country offerings, some figuring it as high as 1,260, 000 bu., and there was free sellinir by most of the cash houses against these acceptances. On the decline there developed a commission house de mand which rallied the market. The cash market was about steady. Local receipts, 137 cars, with 8 of contract grade; estimates for tomorrow, 310 cars; clearances, ln4.oil bu .: New York reports 8 loads for export. The visible supply decreased 9!i8,0O0 bu. The Chicago stock, 1,448,000 bu., decreased 326, 000 bu. OATS The market has been strong. In fluenced by the continued lack of rain throughout Illinois. Futures were tip ,c and cash 4c hlsher. The light stocks and small receipts were also a factor. LorM receipts, 79 cars, with 8 of contract grade; estimates for tomorrow. 2S0 cars; clear ances. 12.CO0 bu.

Market Erratic, Rally Being; Followed by Crumbling; Prices. NEW YORK, May 18.-There was con siderable liquidation on the stock market today. The selling seemed lftMuced by a crystalizatton of sentiment, which has been approaching deflnito formation for some time, but has been deferring action In the hope of a recovery. There was no development to cau!? tho decline, except the engagement of 32. 325.000 of gold for ex port to Europe. This had been quite defi nitely extended and the amount was rather less Uian some of tho forecast. There was a alight hardening In the call loan rate In response to the gold movement, but could not be said that any liquidation was forced by a withdrawal of credits. The result of the consideration over Sun day of the general finance outlook seemed to be rather the placing of stop-loss orders as a precautionary menstire below the mar ket than definite orders to sell. The open ing of the market was In fact Irregular and a slight decline was followed by a considerable rally. This rally persisted after the first knowledge of the engage ment of gold for export. But the report that $'.'00,000 had been deposited at the sub treasury for telegraphic transfer to New Orleans, was followed almost immediately by a crumbling of prices throughout the list. The violent speculation In cotton Is making demands on the money market, which was taken in ill part by the stock market. It Is probnble that the demand in prices was Immediately due to professional at tacks by the bears, but the existence of stop-loss orders below the market make prices very vulnerable. The usual result of a considerable decline la now seen In the Increased disposition to sell merely be cause prices have declined. Stocks which have now got lower than In last month's decline on account of the Northern Se curities decision' are conspicuous sufferers In the present selling. This Is seen In the case of St. Paul, New York Central and Southern Pacific especially. When prices showed a lower level on a relapse after one recovery. It Is the speculative theory that effective support has been determined on at that point. When the price goes lower on the second decline it Is customary for professional operators to sell it on the theory that the final resting place for the price Is indefinite. Quite a number of stocks today broke through the previous low level for the year and last month, and this fact had a strong Influence on bearish sentiment. The day s export of gold and the continued firmness of foreign exchange are a demonstration that the allotment of the Transvaal loan in London Is not to relieve the pressure for gold abroad, as was hoped. The London market Itself now taking account of the future periodical tnr the navment of the monthly installments on the subscriptions to the ioan. The fact that a large portion of the proceeds of the loan is payable to continental holders of the South African railroads, which are being purchased by the colonies, makes a prospective pressure upon London for remittance to continental points. The outgo of gold from here , 1 In payment of borrowings and Is an Insur ance against future pressure. With the large requirements ahead or the domestic money market there is an im esslness manifest whether the outgoing gold will be readily availably for recall to this market when It Is needed. Nearly nil the. active stocks today fell between 1 and 2 points nnd St. Paul. New York Central. mKuH Pacific Rock Island Reding exceeded that. Amongst dormant tocks there were even wider declines Amalga mated: Copper was strong as the effect of !b increase in the dividend rate on the Calumet and Heels stocks. The market closed esy and within a small fraction of UnId'states Steel new sinking fund bonds were dealt for in this time on he exchange and rose more than a point oer Knturdav's price on the rurb without ex rtttlon.'

The demand though was in good shape here so that prices showed very little change In spite of the lower prices quoted elsewhere. 1 The beef steer market could be quoted Just about steady with the close of last week. Buyers did not take hold any too freely owing in part to the big run In Chi cago and tne lower prices existing there, and also to the fact that they are rather looking for beavy receipts here tne rest of the week. Anything desirable was not dilltcult 10 dispose of at satisfactory prices, but the commoner grades were rather draggy. There were some outside buyers on hand who bought quite fretly, and they had a beneficial effect Uion the market. In spite of the fact that buying was not very spirited practically -everything was din posed of oefore the middle of ih forenoon. There was not enough change In the ptices paid for cows to dj worihy of men tion. The same was the-case with beet steers, buyers did not take hold any too freely, but still the cattle kept chancing hands at steady prices and the '.l.?ht offer ings soon brought the market to a close. nulls, veal cules and ki.ii-b aii -mil In Just about the same notches they did lost week. There wore quite a few stockevs and feeders In the yards this morning, but tho demand was of quite liberal proportions so the desirable grades changed hands freely at steady to strong prices. Speculators carried over very lew cattle trom l.nt week and they were all looking for fresh supplies this morning. Representatives sales: BEEF STEERS. No. 1 1 t 1 15 I I 20 21 1 (1 12 42 Av. Pr.
