Mav M w H AT 1 here was an abundance of bearish influences In wheat and the opening figures were lower, tne May breaking sharply on stop-less orders to 1 bo, at wnicn point support irum 1111 nrlnclnal bull leader carried it back to about yesterday's figures. After the open ing flurry there was general steadiness and a strong undertone. The outside interest has not been so large as earner in me week, but was sufficient to conceal the op erations of any particular house. Clear-- ances for the week, 8.293,000 bu.; today's clearances, 625,000 bu.; seaboard reported 6 loads taken for export; there were no local sales of any amount; local receipts, 27 care, with none contract; 85 estimated for tomor row. CORN This morning acceptances from the country were the largest yet, about 1,600,000 bu., but the hedges were well taken and the early decline wholly recovered, al though the entire range was not great. There was some speculation as to who was buying tne corn, as a snarper decline was looked for when the size of the counxry offerings became known. May has gone to a slight premium over the July, Influenced by the small arrivals and the moderate de mand for good cash corn. Cash market was &c higher; Argentine shipments were 862,000 bu.; today's clearances, 323,000 bu., and for the week 1,814,000 bu.; there were sales reported from here of 2u0,000 bu., which seemed to have more effect than country acceptances of several times this amount; New York reports IS loads taken for export; there were 10 loads worked di rect from here to Liverpool: local receipts. 27U cars, with 19 contract; 440 cars estimated lor tomorrow. OATS There was hurried selling In oats on the opening. Influenced by the change In the weather, general rains having fallen where most needed, and the outlook ma terially Improved thereby. This liquidation caused a fractional decline. Around lowest figure shorts began to take profits and buy ing 01 mis nature aeveiopea in such pro portions that the market was advanced llo and closed considerably over yester day' a. Country offerings were light and did not reflect the same change that the range naa in speculative markets. Re ceipts were 136 cars, with 6 contract; there were 75.O0O bu. sold for shipment east; 196 cars epumaien xor tomorrow.

New Bankers' Syndicate Canses Mar ket to Look I P. NEW YORK, May 23. Today's ' early stock market did not give good promise of maintaining the strength which developed yesterday, but the announcement that a bankers' syndicate had been formed to underwrite the new Pennsylvania stork Is sues caused a sudden upward spurt In that stock to a level of 2 points over last night. The stock held that point but mo mentarlly and did not get back to the top level again for the rest of the day. In the general market the averager high level for the day was touched In the atternoon, when the preliminary estimates of the cash movements or tne week were published, showing an unexpectedly heavy receipt on balance from the Interest, thus offsetting the loss by good exports, which It was feared would make tomorrow's bank return very weak. There was sufficient selling to take profits during the last hour to make considerable Inroads upon prices, and the closing was dull and heavy, bolow the best. The net changes for tne day are mostly very smsll and are mixed between gains and losses. There was continued heavy selling this morning by St. Paul & nine ana united states steel stocks were Inclified to be reactionary, the latter on account of the further cut in prices of Iron. union r-acino was incimea to lag tnrouitn out the day In spite of the claim of a definite settlement of its labor dispute. The news of the underwriting of the Penn sylvania stock Issue did not hold its first stimulating Influence. The underwriting is in erreot a protective measure to assure the taking up of the issue at 120, at which price It was offered to stockholders. When the offer was made Pennsylvania was sell ing above 140, so that the right to subscribe at 120 seemed sumcientiy attractive, nut from the first knowledge of the issue there has been persistent selling of the stock sgnlnst the expected new issue and of the rights to subscribe to the new stock. The decline this week to 125 brought within measurable distance the extinguishment of the value of the stockholders' rights to subscriber. The news that sufficient money had been sent to New York from the In terior to offset the rather heavy outgo of gold came as a pleasant surprise. 1 ne known movements of money Indicate a net gain by the banks of several hundred thou sand dollars, the receipts an bnlaniv) from the Interior amounting apparency to over 84.000.000. The subtreasury absorption. which includes payments tor Tne goia ex ported, was 83.3S4.000. But this 0oes not take account of the 81.000.000 In gold shipped to South America last Saturday, too late for effect on last week's bank statement. Arrangements have also been made to ship 31.600.000 to South America on Monday. Sterling exchange broke fullv 25 points to day In response to the reduction of the BanK Or l;ngiana raie. uonmn eminma to buy stocks here today, thus Increasing thai aiinnU nt exehans-A. and the flinircs of the week's grain exports show nn Increase over last week for whest of 1.195.777 buih els and for corn of SS2.929 bushels. The market still shows itseir sensitive to me cotton speculation and the opening nrh In that market was an Influence In the reaction In stocks of the first hour. The bond market was uncnangea; xovai sales, par value. $2,220,000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call.

The mar ket waa rather uneven, but as a general thing was steady with yesterday. The beef steer market could best be de scribed by calling it about steady. It should be mentioned, however, that tho ? rices paid were very uneven as is very apt o be the case when prices have been fluctuating back and forth as rapidly as tney nave tnis week, in some pieces sales men thought they got a little better prices than they did yesterday, while In other Instances they bad a hard time to do as well. As compared with last Friday the market was right around a dime lower on the average. Trading was not very brisk at any time today, but owing to the light run practically everything was disposed of before the middle of the forenoon. The cow market was also about steady. The feature of the trade was the poor de mand for good stuff and the good demand for cheap stock. AU the packers seemed to be anxious for canners and cutters, but did not care for the kinds selling from 83.60 up. Buyers claim the reason Is that cow beef has been costing them too much on the hoof as compared with steer beef. As compared with the close of laBt week good cows are safely 25o lower and In some places the decline looks much worse than thst. Canners and cutters, however, are fully steady. Bulls, veal calves and stags all sold In Just about yesterday's notches. There were very few stockers and feeders on hand and as is generally the case at the close of the week the demand was very limited. Unless very desirable the few that arrived had to sell a little easier. Repre sentative sales: BEEF STEERS. Ko. At. Pr. No. At. Pr.
