OMAHA. May 5, 13 4. H. V. Jones of the Commercial West, a recognised crop statistic ian, who has been making a tour of me nhat belt says: "I want you to he pr para.u lor a sensa tion In winter wheat. 1 mean by this the rrop Is In such a condition that by June 10 It can go to pirex if the weather before that date Is not ail tignt. The sensation will come from )lilo, Indiana and Michi gan, anyway. The hgures of the state re port are not low enougn, for the farmers five lr 40 per cent, when the figures nhoul.i e 10 or it per cent. Eight mates east of the Rockies my give tV).(Kj.'ai bushel yield leas than last year. Missouri i alone showing a slightly better crop than for Maryland and Virginia look well and are most normal In the country, except parts of Kansas. Kentucky Is bpotted. At beet the country will raise 20,ia.0.o.i bushels lees than last year and perhaps tjo.Oou.ijxj if the weather Is unfavorable. There Is very little growth to wheat for the season. Sep tember wheat may break 4 or 6 cents If we have warmer weather, but the country may realise early the moderate orosuects. and September wheal may nut go unuer 9) cents. Snow's weekly report says there Is not yet sufficient data received to warrant a prediction of the general average of con ditlon In winter wheat, hut It Is safe to say that public and private sources of re ports would give condition for May 1 as below April 1. flnow thinks the best that can be expected, with most favorable weather, will be considerably below the normal. Rroomhall cables Russian report Is In snd shows generally favorable weather with drouth locally only In' spots. The winter growing has been well and the spring seeding is partly finished and the prospects good. The Minnesota report for the week ending Mar 1 Is favorable. The Illinois special report out gives for ten representative counties 13 per cent of area killed by winter, flood or drouth.

PENNSYLVANIA SELLS RATHER FREELY lalted States Steel Preferred Some what Relieved from Hressare to Which It Has Recently Been Sabjeeted. NEW YORK, May S.-Th sluggishness and naxrowneas of the stock market was even more notable today than on previous days this week. The movement of prices was so slight as to offer little basis for comment. United States Steel preferred wiie somewhat relieved from the pressure to which it has been recently subjected end Pennsylvania was rather freely sold with the dividend off. This stock held firmly yesterday, presumably on account of tl.e desire of holders to collect the cash divi dend and the unwillingness of bears to re main short of the stock over the dividend period, since they are obliged to pay the accruing dividend. There waa only such buying of stocks as seemed necesvarv to prevent the sagging tendency which Is nor mal to a stagnant innrki-t. The news of the day had little effect either way. The newa from London of tho flotation of a Japanese loan of IfHO.oiw.Ourt, of which New York Is expected to take half, was accepted as another evidence of the real ahundan.-e of capital resources here and tne money market waa quite unaffected by these pros pective claims on It. The advance In Sugar wait tajten as explanatory of yesterday's strength In Sugar, but it was not follow'e.l up today. Railroads reporting weekly gross earnings showed declines without exception for the fourth week In April. There was more variety In the bond nuir- aei man in stocks, but the tone wns Irri'iK ular.

Milwaukee CATTLiF There was a very moderate run of cattle at all points thla morning, but there was no Improvement In the market, Packers seemed to be rather Indifferent and as a result trading was slow, with nrlcea about the same ss yesterday. The beef steer market could bo quoted generc-'lv steady but slow. Buyers did not take hold with any enthusiasm except oc caalonally In the case of good to choice handy weight cattle, which sold without difficulty at good steady prices. Heavy cattle, unless choice, and the medium and common grades of all weights were slow sale and barely steady. The morning was well advanced before a clearance waa made. The cow market showed very little change from yesterday. Buyers ail wanted a lew, and p. offerings were very limited It waa not Ions: before the Dens were emptied. Anything In the way of good to choice light weight cows or belters were picked up at an early hour, but common stuff was not par ticularly brisk. There Is nothing new to report of bulls, veal calves and stags, prices remaining nractlcallv unchanged. There waa a moderate run of stockers and feeders, and as the demand from the country yesterday was tajriy gooa, an things considered, the market today held steady. All the speculators were willing to take a few, so that everything at all de sirable waa soon out of first hands.
