Featarea of the Trading" and Closing;
Prices on Board of Trade.
CHICAGO, May 20. The local wheat mar
ket today was exceedingly nervous, prices
fluctuating excitedly over a range of 2i$
ia. Tne market was strong early In the
session, but later eased off considerably.
At the close ilia July option showed a net
-aln of mc. compared with Saturday's
tlrl quotations; September and December
gained proportionately. July corn olosed
.c higher. Chits were c higher and pro
visions (u'13c hi idler.
AVheat opened strong, with prices ranging

losing quuiaiions. xnuro was a uiis sen-
weather in the northwest and an advance
of '40 on the Minneapolis' euro were tne
bullish lafluencea. The advance at Minne
apolis was said to have been due to a re
port by a well known crop expert which
plaMd the total yield of whiter' wheat at
75,000,000 bu. less than had been estimated
by government officials on May 1. Other
factors that have contributed to biilllsh
sentiment were unfavorable reports regard
ing ths wheat crop of Russia, Hungary and
Kuropean countries, as also pessimistic
advices from Nebraska and Kansas. There
was heavy soiling for profits, as well as
abort selling, throughout the -entire ses
sion and prices declined sharply at times,
but always I allied. During th last fifteen
minutes of trading prices dropped abruptly
on belated realising sales. September de
livery touched a tuw low level for the day.
Renewed support from the bulls, together
with covering of short lines, however,
caused a rally, ths market closing firm.
July . .opened 1tle to lS-t'lo 'higher at
STliO to 9Sf, advanced to Kt-V and closed
lit 97V((97c. September opened l"c to
fStC higher at Jt9c to 11.003a. sold between
JSc and S1.0O and closed at 99V Ie
cembT opened at S100H to S1.02, ranged be
tween 99c and S1.02 and closed at SI 00Vi.
Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to
129.000 bu. The amount on passage de
creased 872,000 bu. arid the visible supply
Increased h7,000 bu. Primary receipts were
6:18,000 bu., compared with 3i0.iXt bu. a year
go. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicairo re
ported receipts of tvD cars, against 6'.9 last
week and 191 a year ago.
Trading in the corn pit was fairly actlvo
and th tone of the market strong. The
chief reason for the strength was the sharp
upturn In wheat. Frosts were predicted
for tonight for portions of the corn belt
nd this tended to encourage the bu lis.
The movement was again rather small.
The market closed firm. July opened a
hade to Vif'He higher at 63c to 53'iic, ad
vanced to 53-Hc and closed at lntiSSe.
Local receipts were 118 cars, with IB of
Contract grade.
Damage by drouth and green bugs to the
crop in the west and southwest and delay
to seeding In the northwest owing to cold
weather caused a strong market for outs.
There was liberal buying by shorts and ahio
heavy purchases by commission hoi. sea,
Cash houses and northwestern Interests
were the chief sellers. The market closed
firm. July Bold between tiAjfiliiSc and 47o
and closed at 40c. Local receipts were
178 cars.
Provisions were dull, but firm, and closed
with a gain of OidOc for the July option,

NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS
Eofnt Inertia of Market Gitm Way t
Sharp Dowcward MoTemtat.
HILL STOCKS LEAD THE DECLINE
Movement Dne to Rumor of Investiga
tion of Relation of These Maes to
the Burlington t alon Pacific
Also Lower.
NEW YORK, May 20.-The recent Inertia
Of the stock market, gave way today to a
sharp downward movement, accompanied
by some broadening of the speculative in
terest and an Increase In the aggregate of
thu dealings over the recent averages. Oood
observers professed to see some evidence
of liquidation In the selling, pnrt of It
induced by the decline itself. The Urge
firoportlon of the dealings were admittedly
n professional hands still. There was clear
evidence also that the hands which were
operating with renewed vigor in slocks
were carrying on parallel operations In the
wheat market. This Is a usual coupling
of speculative activity, offering some logi
cal argument for seillnsT of securities, espe
cially of the granger railroads. The
granger railroads were. In fact, quite con
spicuous In the selling of today and It
was common belief that some of the princi
pal selling orders In the stock market canio
from houses with Important gr.tin market
connections. The selling from this source
was not confined to the grangers, and that
group of stocks had some factors to con
tend with In addition to the bad crop re
ports. With this uuallflcation It was tiue
that the weakness of stocks originated from
operations by the same Interests as din
the strength In wheat. The bl-lateral cam-
falgn was furtlrcred effectively by the pub
Ication of a crop estimate by an expert In
the service of the commission housos, In
which a smaller outturn of winter wheat
was predicted than has been numed by
other authorities heretofore.
The speculation for the decline received
a considerable Impetus from the news of
government activities at Washington, l'he
special weakness of the 11111 stocks was
traceable to the report from Washington
that the Inquiry Into the relations of tnese
companies to the Burlington railroad was
to be aggressively extended. The contents
of the report of the bureau of corporations
on the Htandnrd Oil company was an ac
companying influence, as the principles
there formulated for the reckoning of
reasonableness in charges for service by
public corporations were regarded rs
widening Indefinitely tha problem of rates
to be charged by railroads as thev might
be controlled by the government. The ques
tion of financial needs of corporations and
the demands upon the monev market which
might be necessary on theso accounts was
a continued influence in the depression of
securities.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit was Immediately
i?.ct. by Saturday's announcement of
additional bond Issues hv subsidiary com
panies. A number of other stocks were
artected by specific rumors of similar trans
actions to be met In the early future. A
strong exception to the trend of the market
was Consolidated Oas. This stock was
quite buoyant on the circumstantial rumors
In circulation that the forthcoming Judicial
decision in the suit against the 80-cent gas
law was to be in favor of the company.
J he rise In Consolidated Oas was of only
temporary sustaining effect on the general
list. The special weakness In Union Paclfio
as well as in ths Hill stocks looked to
Washington for Its inspiration.
Holidays abroad left this market without
reflection from that quarter and made a
dull day also In the foreign exchange mar
ket. Conditions In that market were held
near the gold export point, but without any

CATTLE Receipts ot cattle this morn
ing, while quite liberal, were decidedly
smaller than a week ago. The offerings
consisted qultely largely of corn-fed steers,
with a fair sprinkling of cow stuff, but
only a few stockers or feeders.
The feeling In the beef cattle market waa
a little better, although buyers were not
disposed to hold the market down to a
steady basis, and a good share of the rattle
sold that way, but with here-and-lhere
sales looking a little stronger.
Cows and heifers sold largely at steady
f rices and there was no great change in
he general situation. Some sellers who
had pretty desirable stuff thought that
they got out a little better, if anything,
tlinn last week.
There were no new developments In the
tocker and feeder market, prices for tho
most part remaining about steady with last
week's close. Until the weather towns more
favorable and the prospect for pastures
and crops are more flattering no one ex
pert) any irreat activity In the stocker or
feeder trade.

HOGS The week starts out wllh a very
fair run of hogs ninety-six cars being re
ported in. Under the Influence of liberal
receipts and lower markets at other points
prices eased off a little, the market being
anywhere from weak to 6c lower or gen
erally about 2ic lower than latt wtwk.
Big heavy hogs, especially those of the
coarser order naturally were the worst
sufferers, feeling more decline than the
good light hogs, which In some cases sold
lust as high as on Saturday. In fact the
top for the two days was the same. The
bulk of the hogs sold at $.20i.2.-.. The
market was rather slow and buyers were
even more particular than usual, asking
for the throwing out of rough and unde
sirable hogs. The week starts out with the
market Just about a shilling lower than It
was at the beginning of last week.

rJHELl Iteceipis this morning were
quite liberal, thu ty-tliree cars helng re
ported, Willi practical ) ever) thing on saic.
Packets nil seemed to want we.i Mulshed
lightweight lambs and the market on lliut
kind was active at good steady to strong
pricer, Ever. t hlng answering to that de
scription changed hit lids In good seavm
In the morning. Some big heavy lambs
did not sell quite so readily, packers natur
ally leaving them so long as there was
handy weight stuff In sight. (Several
bunches of good to choice lumbs sold at
S7.3tlj7.35.
The market on sheep was not In such
favorable condition. The fact that Chicago
c osed the week loc lower on sheep mini
buyers at this point naturally bearish. As
prices here were ail ready right up with
Chicago buyers were naturally more Insist
ent upon an easier market than they would
otherwise have been. As sellers htd plenty
of confidence in the future of the market
they were holding on for pretty stiff
prices, which msde the trade slow. In
spite of their efforts, however, the ten
dency of values was downward and the
market could hardly be quoted other than
6tul0g lower than last week.

COTTON
NEW YORK, May 20. Scale 5, the large
outside Interest in the cotton morknt. has
today been made more or less nervous by
persistent rumors emanating from the op
position to the effect that the Now York
Cotton exchange would be successful In Its
motion to dismiss my suit and that this
success would mean my defeat in my effort
to reform the New York contract, and. in
consequence, make practicable the delivery
here on July contracts of a large quantity
of low grade cotton.
I do not share this view; I have confi
dence In the equity of our Americun Judi
cial proceedings, and believe that 1 ahull
win. Moreover, my legal resources are nut
tjy any means as et exhausted.
Coup.ed with this Inriuencu nas been a
report of Habersham King denying the,
seriousness of the crop dumttge wo gen
erally reported. As against this, I have
hundreds nf telegrams from the best In
formed and most sagacious people In tha
touth, to the effect that the dumnge to the
crops already done Is Irremediable, and I
continue to believe In much higher prices
for cotton. That the progress; toward
higher prices will be punctuated by reac
tions goes without saying. It Is now a
broad cotton market In which the public
Is largely interested, but tne factors at
work, namely, the huge consumption, the
crop damage and the continuous apprecia
tion in the prices of all commodities, reau t
Ing from the Increased production of gold,
will be Influences, In my opinion, snms
thlng more than ephemeral In their effect
