CHICAGO. Mav 28. WHEAT Market has
been a firm one, helped by reports of
aamage in me soutneast ana an aavance
at St. Louis, owing to the same cause. The
September received moat of the sunnort.
There was a disposition to take the selling
sine eariy, owing 10 ine reports mat Ar
mour was no longer interested In the Mav.
uui me aamage reports ana outsiae buying
were of a sufficient volume to turn the
scale towards higher levels. Crop news
rrom aiiroao. snows an improvement ana
the Illinois reports are also of an improved
tenor. Towards the close there was con
siderable profit taking, which caused a
slight setback. Export sales, 11 loads at
New York. There were none reported here.
Receipts were 84 cars, one contract, 30 cars
estimated for tomorrow.
CORN There has been a spirited session
n corn with a big outside interest and a
strong, steady market. The principal
strengthening influence has been the re
ports that a railroad strike Is probable
and on the strength of this news there was
covering by one or the leading short In
terests which contributed liberally to the
support. Another bullish feature was the
reports of enormous losses to hay and feed
stuff In the east by drouth and the strong
demand for corn contributed its share to
the strength. Receipts were 462 cars with
60 contract; New York reports 14 loads
taken there lor export. There were 100,000
bushels sold here for shipment east. Tho
Illinois crop report shows an improvement
since the rains. There are 805 cars es
timated for tomorrow. We have received
some advices from our correspondents west
which indicate heavy damage from flooded
fields and subsequent rotting In the ground.
oa is ine strengthening influence has
been the news of the continuance of
drouth throughout the east. Cash market
firm and higher for the better trades. Cron
damage reports seem to Influence trade to
Duy September ana more deferred futuroa
rather than July. The possibility of a
great railroad strike to hang up the grain
movement has been felt here as well as In
corn. Stocks of standard oats Increased
4fi.uuu, making a total of OT.OOO In store.
There were i5,000 bu. sold from here for
distribution east. Estimated for tomorrow
150 cars.
PROVISIONS Market opened steadv with

SEW YORK. STOCKS AMU BONUS.
Market Shows Nervousness Over Bus
iness Ontlook.
NEW YORK. May 26. The conspicuous
factors In today's stocg market were the
relaxation in tne pressure of urgent and
forced liquidation which has kept the mar
ket unsettled for some tune and the ex
treme caution of the buying at the higher
level that was maintained today. The
general level of the market was above
last night all day, but prices wavered and
fluctuated constantly throughout the ses
sion. About 2 o'clock prices were generally
at the lowest and in the. neighborhood of
last night's level, but one ot the numer
ous rallies set in during tire last hour and
the closing was firm at higher prices than
at any previous time during the day. The
opening dealings tllsclosed good buying
orders distributed among the great spec
ulative railroad stocks, the movements In
which were of a sympathetic nature with
the general market. These are precisely
the stocks which have set forward strong
est in the recent liquidation. The evidence
that they were supported had an Important
reassuring effect on traders who had be
come somewhat alarmed as the result of
yesterday's events. Developments in finan
cial and business affairs were without ef
fect on the market and the attention of
operators on the stocks was devoted al
most exclusively to attempts to solve the
mystery of the source of the stream of
liquidation. Pure surmise and Irresponsi
ble gossip played an Important part in
this, but the conclusion has been quite
generally arrived at that the recent sell
ing has come from Important and wealthy
interests and that the selling was prompted
by some special financial needs of the
holders rather than by conditions af
fecting the stocks sold. It Is a matter of
publlo news that very large accumulations
of railroad stocks have been made during
the late period of rumors of extensive
consolidations. Part of this accumulation
was made In the direct effort to secure
control of various railroads and part of
It was made by wealthy speculative fol
lowers, who were Informed of the pros
pects under way for a profitable turn in
the market. The great check to the whole
sale consolidation process came by the
Northern Securities decision and in in
creasing degree from the Impossibility of
marKeung ncwiy iniuiuiiitiuicu pei;uiiLim,
The consequenoo has undoubtedly been the
abandonment of many consolidation pro
jects and the tlelng up very large holdings
In the hands of projectors and their spec
ulative friends and followers. Among these
are many Individuals who came Into enor
tnous fortunes as the result ot the early
period of industrial combinations, espe
cially the formation of the United States
Steel corporation. With the ample re
sources In their hands they seem to have
been slow , to part with their securities at
a sacrifice,' while according to the current
surmise In wall street over extending
themselves in new financial and business
projects which never reached the stage of
flotation. While this liquidation Is held to
account for the special pressure to sell
the fact remains that the scanty buying
demand which makes the selling effective
In breaking prices Is due to general dis
trust of business -and industrial outlook.
Ths behavior of today's market suggested
that potent buyers of stocks were sus
picious that the liquidation was not en
tirely completed. There was abundant
evidence. In fact, of Its occasional renewal
today, but it was well absorbed and prices
were sustained with determination. The
engagement of $900,000 In gold for export to
France waa of only momentary effect.
The threatening: aspect of the freight
handlers' dispute In Chicago seemed to be
offset by the better outlook In tho local
building trades. An announcement that
the underwriting of the Pennsylvania new
stock has been oversubscribed was a
strengthening Influence.
The bond market waa Irregular. Total
sales, par value. $3,230,009.
United States bonds were all unchanged
on the last call.

would be called excessive. The market,
however, was not as brisk as it might te,

Tnebeef steer market was slow In open
ing and the market could, not be quoted
much more than steady. Home salesmen
were calling the mantel sUsady to strong,
but, on the other hand, others had a hard
time to get what they considered steady
prices. In other words, tne market was
more or less uneven, the same as it has
been for some time past. Salesmen were
inclined to ask higher prices, but llnally tno

a fairly liberal run
and rrices took an
other drop. The general market was Just
about a dime lower than yesterday. Trad
ing, though, was very slow, as sellers
did not like the idea of taking off that
much. It was Inte before the bulk of of
ferings was disposed of, but sellers finally
had to cut loose. The bulk sold from
$.V to . Oft. The long string went at
.i.9T, with the better grades selling largely
at $.V97,.vif6.iO. The commoner grades went
mostly from $5.9ii down.
Today's decline takes the market to the
low point of the year and is the first time
since December 13 that the avemge cnt
at South Omaha has been below f0o.
The last end of the market was very slow
nn.l weak and the late arrivals had to sell
right around lotfliio lower. At a late b4ur
there were still a good many hogs In first
hands. Representative rales:
