WHEAT CLOSES A FRACTION LOWER Cra aad Oats, HoTreer, Fatly Hold Their Om aad I'roTlilsai Maka (light Gala with Pack era' Rapport. CHICAOO, May 23. Wheat wu rather quiet early, but ahowea firmness later with a slight advance. Near the close a weak undertone developed and the close wan lower, July showing a Inu of ttWc. Corn wai firm, with llgnt trade, final lia; ureii being at yesterday's close. Oats showed conquerable strength, July show ing a gain of toe Provisions were fairly steady at an auvance of 2,tfjl0c. 'I'he early wheat market was easier on the cables and generally Improved weather conditions, July opening a shade to Vt-a lower at T.iaiJc, but predictions of frosts lit Nebraska and some bad crop news from the Ked river valley caused pit traders end commission houses to buy and a firmer feeling ensued, July advancing to 74'e. Liquidation near the end of the session caused a reaction, Armour being credited with unloading considerable July, and the clone was easier with July down WC'c at 7.1Sc There was no noticeable Improve ment In the cash. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 2oO,W9 bushels. 1'rimary receipts were 3i,Js bushels, against 258.784 a year ago. Minneapolis and lJuliHh reported receipts of ls3 cars, with which local receipts of So cars none of contraot grade made the total receipts for the three points of lit cars, against 167 last week and 132 a year ago. The sentiment in the corn pit was mod erately bullish on the crop situation and there was scattered buying by commission houses and local traders. On the other hand. Increasing receipts and liberal coun try offerings were bear factors. Under these conlllctlng Influences the market ruled ateadv, July closing c higher after ranging betwen and 44Vy--t7c. Trade was light, due in a measure to the light offerings. Local receipts were 445 cars, with 1W of contract grade. There wan not a large trade In oats, but the market was quite strong on small of ferings and a bullish sentiment on the crop situation. There was little feature In the trading and but little Improvement In the cash demand. July closed He higher at 33'Ao, after selling between 33)c and 34Vc. Looa! receipts were 182 cars. Provisions were supported by the pack ers and the market held fairly steady. There was some pork and lard on the mar ket early, but a fair demand from brokers caused offerings to be quickly absorbed. July pork closed 6c higher at $18.86: lard showed a gain of 2Mc at $9.06, and ribs were lOo higher at 19.40. Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat, 85 cars; corn, 480 cars; oats, 246 cars; hogs, 6.010 head. The leading futures ranged as follows: Artlcles.l Open. Hlgh.j Low. IClose. Yes y.

Mar 23 Hopes of a turn In speculative sentiment were again dis appointed by the action of today's stojk market, in which scute weakness devel- Oied on a free outpouring of stocks from free liquidation from all quarters. The selling movement gathered force with the progress of the trading, which was most active at the close and at about the low tolnt of the day. A violent break In nlted States Steel stocks soon after the opening had a very unsettling Influence. The explanation of this was a rumor that me Chicago plants or the company naa shut down. The trading was somewhat disconcerted also by the large Increase In the engagements of gold (or export to Argentina on iMonday. bringing trie total shipments for that date up to $2.25),o00. In tne early selling mere was support tor Pennsylvania, and Its apparent steadiness served as a partial offset to the weakness elsewhere, but that stock was among the leaders of the decline at the last, losing 3 full points. The most conspicuous liqui dation, however, was that in St. Paul, which was forced down m points unaer enormous offerings, making a new low record for the movement by a margin of nearly 2 points. The llnal break took the average level of the market to the low record of the year, effectually wiping out the recovery of yesterday and the day be fore. The unfavorable criticism of the un derwriting of the new Pennsylvania stock at the subscription price to stockholders was a depressing factor on the general 1. . . n"i.A i . . . i ( .. .1 ....... uiai Alio aiiiiitcu iici.xoaii7 ui iaiiis a commission to a syndicate to secure sub scriptions to the stock was regarded as a discouraging indication of the condition of the market for securities. The special weakness of St. Paul was attributed In part to the reports of a threatened strike amongst the freight handlers at Chlcigo. The bank statement dlsclossd a decrease In cash of $1,326,010, compared with the ex- Sectatlon of a gain of from $l,000,wou to !,000,iXK). But the loan contraction of $6.4i6.1oo reduced the reserve requirement sufficiently to leave a small surplus for the Increase. The markets steadied a moment on the appearance of the statement, but f trices plunged down again in the late deal ngs. Union Pacific, Southern Paclllc, Mis souri Pacific, Atchison, Reading and Amal gamated showed the greatest losses. Prices of bonds hare moved irregularly on a larger volume of dealings, due prin cipally to the transactions in the new United States sinking fund 6s. New United States 4s declined per cent, as compared with the closing call of last week.

CHICAGO. May 23. WHEAT Action has hinged almost wholly on the weather and has had little else of weight to Influence It. Our latest reports Indicate a marked Improvement In the weather throughout the winter wheat belt and a continuance of the fine weather In the northwest. The rains seem to have obliterated from the memory of many of the facts that the drought was seriously damaging as the crop damage reports the last aay or iwo nave oeen iew ana iar between. A general view of the situation showing the lightness of stocks In all fiosltlons, the poor outlook for the grow ng crop abroad together with the healthy demand and steady consumption seems to us sufficient reasons lor favoring tne bun ide of July wheat lust at present. The crop damage we look on, as more of a side Issue and attribute It almost wholly to efforts on the part of Interested parties to Influence the market, in favor of the southwest which would like a high,' buoy ant feeling so as to enable It to hedge Its growing crop. September wheat should be sold. T here is no question In our minds but that sales based on present prices will show splendid profits before the crop begins to move. corn This week nas seen tne first dis position on ths part of farmers to market their reserve or last year s crop or corn with any freeness and the acceptances total ud well towards 6.000.000 bushels. There Is no Increase In the dally arrivals and little improvement in the grade, but there are still thirty days before the first of this corn contracted for Is due to ar rive. Acceptance of 1,000,000 to 1,600,000 bushels of corn a day would be a very bearish actor, if they were to continue for very long, or If there were any sup- f tiles of corn on hand, but In ths present nstance with the stocks as low as they are and the demand so urgent, there Is little likelihood of any more corn coming In than will be taken care of, and we question very much whether all of these contracts will be filled. The speculative markets hsve been firm and have not suf fered anything from the Increase In coun try acceptances, although the hedging sales must havs been large. At anything under present prices, corn can be fed or manufactured to such a profit that there will arise a greater demand for it than la srDarent lust now. acting as a natural check and Influencing the market towards steadiness. OATS The drought kept the shorts in oats uncomfortable up till the middle of the week when the situation was relieved by general rains and a sharp slump in the July and September followed. The merits to the p. Ices of osts, however, were clearly shown by tne position in wnicn the short sellers found themselves even with the help of the rain for which they had been praying. After the first break of a cent or two under high prices, the friendliness of outsiders evinced by substantial buying, turned the tide ftom extreme bearlshness to quite as extreme friendliness and set values back to almost the high point. As we have advised our friends, the weather and outlook for the new crop may be the Immediate Influences from time to time but the actual cash market, the supply and the demand of good merchantable oats will be the factors to ultimately determine oat prices, and one need only to notice the premiums being paid for cash oats over the futures to see how well our opin ion la baaed. PROVISIONS The hog situation has been very weak, with prices receding daily. Provlslona responded somewhat, but now on- anticipation of the receipts de creasing temporarily provisions are Arm, end may score some further advances. Stocks do not seem to be accumulating, and the cash demand la fslr. Estimated stocks in store- Pork. 17 6o0 barrels; lard. 16.760 tierces: ribs. 10.500.000.

Common cattle a?e Quotable frorn 83.85 to $4.25. fair to good from 34.30 to 84 60. with the choicer grades largely from t4.80 to 84.80.

The cow . market has suffered much worse w,u for beef steers, and prices are very uneven. The good cows, such as have been selling from 34 .00 up. ba suf fered .the. worst decline and are fully lower, and In some cases the decline Is-as much as 40c. Canners and cutters, how ever, have sold freely all the week, and prices are. If anything, a little stronger. Packers have not been at all anxious for gc!od "ws this week, which Is rather an uncommon occurrence, but they explain It by saying that cow beef has been costing them too much as compared with steer beef. The fair to good cows are sel Ung largely from 83 25 to 83.75, with the choicer ,!.. rnine vvrv largely from 83. 5. to 84.00. It takes something extra good to bring much over 34.00.- nulla and vbilI calves have held Just about steady all the week where ths quality was satisfactory. . M . The demand for stockers and feeders this uir k.a hn mnflned very largely ta tlie cattle of god quality, and such kinds are a little stronger than they wre a week ago. As high as $4.90 has been paid this week warmed-up came, . nowever, nave been rather neglected and are only about steady. Representative snies: BEfcP STfifBXtS. Ho. At. Pr. N. A Tr. 14 11 4 M , COWS.
