WKARE GRAIN COMPANY. Omaha Branch 110-111 Board of Trade Bnlldlnr CHICAGO. May 19. WHEAT After a quiet opening, indifferent action, with sag ging tendencies and sympathy with St. Louis, the ruling consideration lor the first part of , the session, wheat developed into a strong, steady, advancing market, with no general leaaersnip out witn an outsiae Interest of considerable proportions. Em phatic reports ot damage by Hessian fly continue from Kansas and there were nu merous reports of a similar nature from Indiana this morning. The fact that these reports continue to come In, In the face of the devious credence they have- received, Is converting some good people to the probability of their being based on fact, although the disposition of late has been to ascribe them mainly to the "crop killer." World's visible decreased 4,394,000; contract stock, 8,007,000, showing a decrease of 2o8,000. There were 15 loads taken at the seaboard for export. Local receipts, 49 cars,' with 2 contract and 10 estimated for tomorrow. CORN The corn action was largely sym pathetic with wheat and of a lethargic na ture. There was strength toward the close on general outside buying and covering by shorts who sola yesterday. The principal strenirth In corn was the marked lessenine: of country acceptances. 600.000 less than yes terday. Cash demand quiet and only 60,000 bu. reported sold from here and 6 loads taken at the seaboard. Contract stock, 1.- 093.000: shows a decrease of 319.000. Three hundred and eleven cars tecelved. with 19 contract and 100 estimated for tomorrow. OATS There Is still no relief from the drouth situation in Illinois, which helped prices to advance about lc and Induced a general scramble of shorts to cover. There was free selling of September early by the local talent, but It was all taken back and helped the advance when the out side buying commenced. Receipts, 243 cars. with 12 contract. There was no cash busi ness reported. Standard stock. 321.000: shows an Increase of 24,000. Estimated for tomorrow. 80 cars. PROVISIONS There was a fair demand for July pork by commission houses, un doubtedly to cover shorts. Offerings were light and scattering. Liverpool cables were 5d lower for harr.s and Cumberland cuts. Lard, unchanged. Would advise purchases of Julv nnd September pork on all de clines. There "were 18,000 head of -hog Market opened rather active and. prices steady, closing weak and 5c lower than opening. Estimates for tomorrow, 27,no head.

Optimism Lends to Good Recovery In Demoralised Prices. NEW YORK, May 19-Today s recovery n the stock market waa in accordance with the expectation of the majority of professional traders. This expectation conducted materially to the recovery by restraining the professional bear element irom lurtner attack, on prices. ieier- day's rather violent declines and the in crease in the volume of trading over the recent average of the market gave the im pression of a culmination of the decline. mere was some further decided liquida tion in the market this morning, but the professional battr element availed itself of this opportunity to cover their outstanding short contracts. There wad evidenca of support also, presumably by those Inter ested in sustaining values, especially In St. Paul and New York Central. The, recent supported condition of the standards has naa a dominant influence on tne wnoie speculative tone and tnls morning's Indi cations that the further decline was to be contested helped decide the bears to cover. The long continued decline offers attractive profits from the shorts, regardless of opin ions on the further speculative outlook. The professionals, thereioi generally turned to the buying side, covering their short contracts, going long In the market and then working for further delay. There was very little news to account lor this change in sentiment, the general conditions 01 a oountiui laoor outlook, prospects ot runner goiu exports ana oilier considera tions which have caused the recent depies- slon being unchanged. The market proved to De sufficiently oversold to make tne turn tor a rise effectual. But the market "bulled hard in the stock exchange phrase and ran aft quite easily at the last leaving only fractions of the day's gains where they were not entirely wiped out. On the labor subject there were reports of disputes In tne works or tne general electric, ropunnc steel. People's Gas and Allls-Chalmers works. But the rumors prevalent of a set tlement of the Union Pacific labor dispute had a prevailing effect In the market over the other reports. The rumors with the report of the decided Improvement In the condition or ja. 11. Harriman s health were RidHa murh n f In lha htivlnv mrttAmAnt 80 was the weekly crop bulletin of tne weather bureau, without much attention to the varying showing In ttie territories of different railroad systems. The general ly encouraging reports were given to the winter wheat crop in the western states were given more attention than the con tinued delay in tne Planting 01 tne corn crop and the rather unfavorable view ex pressed of the cotton project. The sudden relapse In Louisville St Nashville at the last which more than wiped out its gain may have had to do with the cotton show ing. Another rumor which got afloat on tne tide or tne day b advance was an al leged purpose on the part of the secre tary of the treasury to anticipate the re demption ot the 6 per cent bonds which mature next year. No color of authority was obtained for this rumor. Sterling exchange remained strong and the supply of bills was scarce, leading to the expecta tion tnai lurtner goia wouia go abroad with the first availaDle shipping facilities. Sterling at Paris rose a fraction but did not more than keep pace with the rise here. Money here continued easy and there were reports of seven months' loan at 4Sx which rate has not applied hitherto this season for longer periods than six months. United States Steel new fives were actively traded in and fluctuated over a range of a point closing with a net gain of . Other wise me Dono maraei was irregular, xotai ales par value 83,825,000. united states Donos were unchanged on last call.

May 19. COTTON Opened at an advance of 4'a9 points under stroift cables and renewed bull support. Owing to a reactionary tendency at Liverpool Bhorts were disposed to stand by their com mitments, but they were entirely unable to withstand the aggressive buying of the bulls and prices were immediately rushed up a new high level for the season. May sold as ilgh as 11.70c; July, 11.36c; August, 11.02c, und September, 9.73c. Then realis ing became more general, room longs turned for profits nnd prices were forced down point by point In the face of continued bull support. On the decline it became apparent that the Toom was looking for a scalp on the short side, but when the weekly report of the weather bureau was published at midday, showing a much less favorable condition than expected, the shorts were again completely routed nnd prices were sent up at a record rate. In ten minutes July had sold up from 11.17e to 11.24c; August from 10.91c to 10.97c. nnd Sep tember from 9.65c to 9.72c. The rally seemed apparently to have exhausted the demand from shorts and was followed by another reactionary period during which trading be came much less active. The decline was started by selling of July, said to originate with the leader of the New England clique, and as it progressed the selling movement was swollen by the liquidation of the old crop, while the new crop was maintained by covering. This movement culminated when a level about lfi5 points lower had been attained on the summer months and was followed Just before the close by an other spirited burst of trading. It was rumored that a certain Wall street Inter est prominent on the bull side early In the season was buying for an advance of a cent or more, and this added to the gen eral Irregularity. , and feverishness." The new crop months were the strongest fea ture in the late trade, and at the close showed the greatest gains. May closed at 11.64c, July at 11.24c, August at 10.95c and September at 9,78c. with the general list 7531 points higher. November scored with the biggest advance, closing at 9 22, against 9.10 last night. Total sales futures were 8,000 bales. ST. LOUIS, May 19. COTTON Firm.

Beet steers again made up the bulk of the receipts, and the market couhl b quoted slow and weak to a dime luwer. The handy weight cattle of good quality did not suffer to any extent, but the heavy cattle, and especially thoatr that were not of very good quality, were slow sale and safely a dime low.r. Sellers all wanted steady prices, iao the day waa well ad vanced before a clearance was made. There is not any great supply of cows and heifers in the yards this morning and as a result prices did not sufter as badly as might be expected. It was tin uneven market, howevtr, so that while some sales men thought they got steady prices oihers were calling the market lower. 1 he weak ness did not seem to be confined to any one kind, as all grades sold from steady to a dime lower in extreme cases. Owing to the moderate offerings the bulk of the cat tle was soon disposed of. Bulls, veal calves and stags gold at gen erally steady prices. The supply of stockers and feeders was very light again this morning, and as there were several buyers on the market from the country it is safe to quote all desirable grades fully steady. Speculators found a ready sale yesterday for all the cuttle they height and their pens were again empty this morning. The demand, however, is confined very largely to the better grades and common cattle are hard to move. Rep resentative sales'. BEEF STEERS. At. Pr. No. 1 4.... 21.... 14.... a....
