The wheat trade waa puzzled yesterday by the Quota tions from Minneapolis, giving a price 10 cents a bushel lower at one time for cash No. 1 than for May delivery. The differ enre meant that the seller had given an option on Ma wheat at the lower price If It failed in apt info the nubile elevator in this city for delivery on May contract be fore the expiration of the option today and full May price If It got in on time.

May 31 The strength of atork market developed In spots but the few strung storks had a sympathetic influence on the general list and advances became general during the late trading The lone was hesitating and uncertain at first. This was due to the Influence of the Ixindon market, where the ending of the Stock exchange settlement caused a pause In activity. The settle ment was concluded without ini damage as a result probably of the considerable re covery of the last few days In Americans. Its success had an encouraging effect on stocks here, as some apprehension has ex isted of bad effects from over-conimlt- ments in Americans on the part London speculators. International politics seemed to play a small part In the market and the belief that an eany peace was to be forth coming was not so distinct a factor as on Monday. Japanese bonds In this market continued to overshadow all others In prominence, but moved with some Irreg ularlty. Keallsing in them was In evidence after the nrx-nlna and the first series s were carried to a sharp fractional loss, but they recovered In company with the rest of the market. Evidence of pressure against the United States Steel stocks was a factor In turning prices downward Our lng the morning. News of weather condi tions were regarded as favoring the grain crops, but the weekly crop bulletin of the weather bureau received a mixed Interpre tation. The upward movement of the lat ter part of the day received its first definite Impulse from the aggressive ad vanes in Reading. No Immediate news was forthcoming to explain the strength of this stock, hut there were rumors al leging an Intended increase in the dividend on the Central railroad of New Jersey and from these Inferences was drawn more liberal dividend nollcv on the part of the Heading Itself, which controls- the Central of New Jersey, and this served to cause hopes of cming benefits also for Baltimore & Ohio, Norfolk & western and cnes penke & Ohio stocks the expected report on the Investigation of the Eyuitable Life Assurance society was awaited with great interest and with professions of a hope that Its publication would mark the close of the controversy on that subject. One effect pointed out from the wiping nut of the Russian naval force is the opening of the way for free transport ot Japanese supplies rrom ini country. It is expected that this may faclllltate the outlay In this country of soma part or the proceeds of the Japanese loan still on deposit In New York. There was a great deal of revived gossip con cerning Union Pacific acoompanylng the large buying of stock, but there was no explicit news. The day's advances were well held and the market c osed nrm. Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value 36,630,000. United States old 4s advanced per cent on call. - - Wuotatlons ou the New York Stock ex- chunce ranaed aa follows: Sales. High. IjOW.

Twenty-fire cars were billed through and are not Included In these receipts. I-or the three daya of the week the receipts amount to about 16,000 head, a gain of about 4.000 over the same days last week and an increase or sdoui g.otio over the corresnond. lng three days of a year ago. In proportion to tne receipts there was onlv a. small amount of good cattle on sale. Buyers were on tne nil I early, but the market did not really open till well along In the forenoon. The market on Deef steers today was in about the same condition as yesterday, al though buyers were asking some conces sions. There were some good cattle offered and buyers took up those kinds at right around steady prices. Trading, however, waa a little dreggy and the rattle were slow In moving. On the commoner grades buyers pounded the market and In some cases a de cline or about a dime was noted. The d. mand was a little weak and there was little urgency displayed. There was a fair sprinkling of cows and heifers on sale this morning and the most of them were In good shape and of fair quality. As has been the rase for some little time the demand was better today on the cows tnan on tne steers. Rtiyers took hold rather firmly and there was some ac tivity to the trade. . The market generally ruled fully steady arid In some cases looked little stronger. The demand was about equal to the supply and a clearance was made In good season. Good bulls ruled a little stronger this morning, in fact good stuff of this (Mass has been selling fully Steady for some time. Veal calves and stags show no a notable change, although there Is a fair demand for them. For some days the supply or storkers and feeders has been light and today was no exception. There were only a few csrs of fered and there was a good demand. Trad lng was active and tne cattle were picked up In geed season. The market was fully steady and some sales looked stronger.

The general Quality of tlie receipts was good and buyers were in tne nam early, i tie uemand for desira hie killers Is about the same as it has been all the week and on these kinds the market wns fairly active. Chicago reported a good run of sheep and early Advices called the market steady. Rtiyers at this point, al though slow to take hold, bought up most of the stuff In fairly good season. The trade on lambs looked Just about steady with yesterday's prices. Colorado shorn lambs sold up to f. while another bunch brought the same prices ss Monday. The feeling on old sheen was not aulte as aood ns on the lambs and they were a little slow in moving. A bunrn of Colorado shorn ewes brought 14.40.
