Mai 17 ItKiK ' V heat showed an unexpected weakness today, being nearly 1c on during a largo part of the session. This condition la saul to be caused by the drop of 263c in cash wheat in the big msnkels, notably Minne apolis. The milling demand has teni Iorarlly slackened, and with fair recrlpta the bulla have losta little strength. .May closed at 44c, Juljr at 8040 and beptembur at 804c . . Corn ranged a little lower,, except July, which closed tt 484c for the new contracts and 44o for the bid. May finished at 634 September at 474o and old Septem ber at 474c Quiet prevailed In. the wheat market, with prices a triflq lower. May cloied at 3140, July at 294c and September at 284c. Broomhail cables troin Uverpooi tljst dli arrpolntruent over the action of American markets yesterday caused .opening declines In wheat of V58al and. further losses dur ing the eafly morning of 41 In July and September. I,ster these months reacted -Nd and Ud respect lvoly, and May. 4d on the good Business done In cargoes yesterday. The Liverpool clone was. VJf-4d lower. Corn was also effecred Py the decline In the last hour yesterday in America, and it opened jd lower. An active demand fitr cargoes and spot corn created a better feeling later lit the session, with a gain of 'O in May, ,. The clone as about . 4d lilSher. A special to the Adams, Grain company riuotes Patten of Chicago as saying In to ddy's Inter Ocean: "I expect to see corn sell above 6oc. all summer. May corn Hold et 54c yesterday, or within Vo of the high point on the season, which was 544a last August. It broke to 434c in December, was back to 50c In March and down to 45c In April. Three weeks ngo the trade tjjought It -H-clrieh to see May for a break to 40c. but M was sustained st 46c. An advanne of 9e- has been made In throe weeks.- A heavy reduction In the short In terests -has- been made, but Hartlett-Frtizler-Patten,- who have the big line of May, have not sold heavily. " Today's Inter Ocean says: "Cash wheat Is being moved In all directions and In a most unusual way. No. 1. recently shipped from Dulu tit to Buffalo, is being sent back all rail to Minneapolis, to All May shorts. A cargo of Duluth No. 1, recently loaded for Buffalo, will be diverted to Chicago, unloaded and sent to Minneapolis all rail, the railroads having announced a rate of 74c a hundred, from jQhlcago to Minne apolis, effective May IU. There were sales of No. 1 at Chicago to Minneapolis, one lot of 10,00d bushels being sold at $1.18, or lie over May. Possibly there were more lots worked and not reported. As the IJU , luth elevator' are not equipped for unload- Ing boats'; It da considered . more itdvan l tHgeoua td 'ship from the east to Minne apolis oy rail. This is an unusual pro cedure, as It lias seldom, if ever, occurred before when there' was a profit In shipping wheat from Buffalo to Minneapolis.

CHICAGO, May IT.-Heavy profit taking resulting from Improved weather rondltlooe In the northwest caused a sethstk In whest prices here today. At the close the price of whest for July delivery was off It, 14o. July corn Is up o. (Mtn and pro visions are practically unchsnged. Weakness was manifested In the wheat market throughout the entire session. At the opening July was down 4t?4c t 874& 874c. Two main factors entered Into the situation to contribute to the Initial de cline. One of these Influences was weak ness of the wheat market at IJverpool More slgnflcance, however, was generally attached to the prospects of clear weather In the spring wheat country, ofllcial re ports Indicating clear skies and higher temperatures throughout the northwest. Soon after the opening covering by shorts forced up the price of July to 874jB74c, but a reaction quickly occurred. During the early part of the session trading wss active, several large holders belli liberal sellers. Sharp declines at Minneapolis and Duluth encoursged the bears here. Ijiter the selling pressure wss checked materially by a report of a Chicago crop expert. "The season which at the end of March," said this authority, "was unusually early at the middle of May, It distinctly late. Weather conditions for three weeks have bean wholly unfavorable both for plant growth and for current farm work." Outside of this report there was little news of a bullish tenor. At StWSc the July option touched the lowest point of the day. During the last half hour of trading shorts were fslr pur chasers, hut this demand caused only a slight rally. The wheat was weak at the close with final quotations on July at MVGrW.tc. clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 88,700 bushels. Primary receipts were !2S,5(iO bushels, compared with 183.3(10 bushels a year bro. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of cars aRuinst 101 cars laet week and 82 cars a year ago. The May option was again the star at traction In the corn market. At the start the market was exceedingly strong. Higher prices, however, soon brought out liberal offerings and 'with the slump In wheat a moderate reaction occurred. A report from Philadelphia claiming a sale of 100.000 bush els for export, however, revived the bullish feeling. The market closed strong. May opened unchanged to lic higher at 6l f4'c. sold between 5?4iMV and closed at bi',lc. July opened Sfir-Hc higher at 4KV4 sold between 4t"i)iio and 4S5c and rinsed at 4S'ie. Local receipts were 32 curs, none of contract grade. A steady tone prevailed In the oats msr ket. Trading was extremely quiet. Most of the business was In the September de livery. Strength of corn had a bullish ef fect. July opened unchanged at 2H4c sold between 2yc and 29Stiiic and closed at 29'4c Docal receipts were 64 cars. An advance of (kfrloo in the price of live hogs had a strengthening effect on pro visions. . The market was given moderate support by packers. At the close July pork was tip bta'r. at 12.6fi. Ird was up 2c. at J6.72H. Ribs were unchanged at $7.27H. Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, none: com, 54 cars; oats, 79 cars; hogs, 27,000 head The leading futures ranged as follows: Chieago 1 Kansas City SI Minneapolis ,.v.f,.,,.

Thorn itra a few more shares dealt In on the Stock Ex change today than on yesterday, but the lisles character of the trading was not altered. The market showed the sumo disposition to yield the ilav'i extreme clianues, the only difference being that yesterday the changes were declines mads 111 inn nrst hour and followed by a slow movement Of letrinvn.1 whlln tnilnv (ha only considerable gains were established auring the first hour and were slowlv yielded afterwards. The exception was it. Paul, which made Its highest prices later In the day, responding to several distinct buying movements which lifted the price a stage higher each time. The effect of this special movement on the gen eral list steadily diminished throughout the uay ana especially lost Its Influence In the later tradina. L'nlon Pat-Inn hnu.i a special sympathy at first and was almost aa active as nt. caul Itself, but Its price drooped and Its activity diminished before the operations in St. Paul closed. Those operations were attributed verv largely to professional account and the ninny rumors Afloat to account for them associated St. Paul and Northern Pacific In one way or another. The assertions regarding: these two companies pointed to absorption of one by the other, the absorbing company vary ing In the rumors, meantime Northern Pa cific Itself and Great Northern preferred showed evidence of some nreasnre and this largely deprived the St. Paul move ment 01 its influence. Tho most effective check to the Influence of the St. Paul movement was the heavi ness of the United States Steel stocks which were depressed throughout on the fear that the Iron Ages weekly review of trade Conditions would make an un favorable showing. The appearance In Wall street of the advance sheets or that review were followed by an active selling movement, which weakened all of the metal stocks and especially the Cnited States Steel stocks. Anxiety was caused by the stutement that the buying move ment of pig iron has been almost ar rested, while Indications were that the Jobbing trade had overbought early In the year, In the lighter lines of finished Iron and steel, and that the offering of concessions were of problematical success In moving goods. "The feeling abroad." says the Iron Age, "that a fresh buvlng movement can not well be expected until well into Juno and that the crop prospects will have a decided Influence upon the movement." This broke the market and wiped out the day's gains for the most part. There were some rallies on t jiort covering, but the closing was unsettled Bonds were steadv.

American buyers, upon finding that the Zealand clip was in good condition covered their requirements. They outbid home buyers and secured the pick of the fine grades.

There was a decidedly bear ish feeling to the trade and very little was done until well along in the forenoon. Beef steers suffered tuday as there was evidently no urgent orders to be filled. Buyers did not take hold with any strength and the market was slow and draggy throughout the morning. The demand did not seem equal to the supply and little was done early. Bids were tuliy ten lower on the commoner kinds of steers, and In some cases sellers were obliged to take off even more than this. On the better kinds, especially, the good handy weight cattle the market did not In all cases look as low as this, but generally trading was done at prices right around a dime lower. There was little lire to the trading, and It was late before anything like a clear ance was made. Cows and heifers did not feel the decline as bad as the steers, but buyers pounded the common kinds until trading on these rattle was right around a dime lower, Choice grades were In fairly good demand and changed hands at prices ranging weak to a dlmo lower. Thero were not many cows offered and the proportion of good stuff was small. The market 011 bulls, veal calves and stags Is about In the same condition as it has been for some days past. There was a very light run of stockers and feeders here today and as a result they were picked up In good season at right around steady prices.

As has been the case for the last few days, buyers were after any thing that was choice and the market on this kind could be quoted fully a dime higher. The receipts, however, con. -timed largely of the commoner grades and there was very little choice stuff offered. The market showed a stronger tone today and there seemed to be more urgency to the demand. Although ine sheep did not arrive until rather late, a clearance was made in good season at prices a little stronger than yesterday. Home of the coarser kinds were a little slow In moving and changed hands at just about steady prices, but any thing showing qualltv was picked up quickly at prices noted above.
