VOLUME OF DEALINGS IS SMALL Conaplcaoue Show of Strength la Cos flned to Half Doits Leaders Recovery la Wheat Cbecka Ittse. NEW YORK, May 24. The stock market was comparatively fieo trom pressure to uay and mis o)ned tne way lor tne slow recovery In prices wlucu took plaice, iue small volume ana the Slight urgency of tne uemand were sinking In view 01 tne ess-r-11011s current lor some Ulna ot the dimen sions ol the short interest which was being b"i he "conspicuous show of strength In to dai s trading was restricted to aoout half a dosen stocks, which are the favorite medium of operations by the hlguly specu lative element of the Slock exchange. Sup positions as to the dimensions of toe short Interest are based on a qulie active borrow- lug Uemand for a number of slocks, whion Is reflected In the loaning rales of those stocks. Borrowers of some 01 inese moi us are offering to advance funds against tho stock loan and to forego any interest re . n.i. n whlih ! Aviiressed bv the I stock market term that the stock Is loan ing flat. On other stocks, which are noi loaning absolutely flat, there Is still a sufficient borrowing demand to secure the stocks for delivery, so that the Interest rate on money advanced Is accepted at less than the ruling rate for money. The differ ence of the demand with the cessation of the active pressure to liquidate toda'y. In faco of this technical Index of a large out standing short Interest, arouses some bus. plclon of borrowing of stocks against sales that are really sold In liquidation In order to conceal the appearance of liquidation or Its sources. Recent sales of stocks here for foreign account also are believed to have been large and It Is customary In such cases to borrow stock for delivery pending the arrival of certificates from abroad, thus Increasing the appearance of a large existing short Interest. The cessation of liquidation In stocks for which there Is a broad an ! nctlvo market left some of the less active Issues to be disposed of. Tho wide declines recorded In some of tho usually dormant stocks was a feature of tho day. In effort to effect a sale, even of a small block of these stocks, Tho news of the day of which most Im portance waa attached was more favorable weather conditions In the wheat regions. Additional moisture In the. southwest was regarded as giving promise of Improvement In the winter wheat crop. The later re covery In the wheat market had the effect of checking the slow advance In Stocks. A factor In the early depression was the break In Consolidated Gas. based oil the an nounced Intention ot city and state author ities to move for a nullification of Its fran chises. Other stocks which have been under severest pressure recently showed the effects of an uncovered short interest and helped the rallying tendor.ay of prices. New York Central was such a stock. Pre liminary estimates of the week's currency movement foreshadowed a strong bank statement tomorrow. The cash gain from the subtreasury operations, combined with tho Interior movement, seems to be In tho ne.borhood of $4,000,000. Conjecture Is bl r. as to the loan Item, owing to the JtilxeU effects of the stock market liquida tion, the part played In that bv the recall Li?an' uby , th '"'"'or banks and the effect on bank credits of th rii,- I , iiviu ruse, dui no were taken looking to export of irold " were Irregular.

Supplies of money were scarcer In the market toduy and rates had a hardening tendency. Hates were firmer on the weak foreign exchanges. Trading on the Stock exchunge was dull and prices were depressed, owing to the dear monetary outlook and lack of support, which weakened consols and ftrst-cluss securities generally. Kails suffered on pro vincial selling, while the labor troubles In South Africa affected Kalflrs. Americans opened at a fraction above parity, but the Improvement disappeared before noon on bear pressure and luck of support. The weakness continued until the receipt of the New York opening prices, when the market took an upward turn on good New York buying. Prices closed stead v.

There was no very great change In the beef steer market. Sellers as a rule were trying to get a little more money for their holdings, and where they happened to have something that a buyer especially 'wanted they secuied stronger prices. On the other hand, It took work In some cases to secure steady prices, so that the market as a whole could hardly be quoted better than steady to stronger In spots. Cows and heifers were In very light sup ply and active demand. Packers were all out early and practically everything In the way of cow stuff sold In good season In tho morning at prices mostly 10c higher than yesterday. The chief feature of Interest in the cow market Is to be found In the fact that packers have given notice that after May 27 they will buy no more she stuff, except subject to government In- I speetlon. That means that all the she stuff will have to be sold and settlement withheld until It has been killed nut and passed upon by the Inspectors. Packers nave taken this action at all market points. Sellers are everywhere making a very strong protest against such action and commission men are everywhere advising the country to withhold supplies of all kinds of she stuff until tho question Is definitely settled. There were no stockers or feeders of any tionsequence In slglit and the market was tflthout noteworthy change. Representative sales: litEKf 8TEEI1S. No, 11.. 13.. At. ft. No. A.

Sellers fought very hard ngalnst dropping the price below $0, which had a tendency to bunch sales more closely. That Is. the light bogs dropped more than the nesvy, bring ing the price on heavy and light closed together thsn It has be4n on most days of late. As will be noted from the sales a good many of the hogs brought H.Otrfifi.lO, with a top at $fi 15. Ye.terdav the bulk of the hogs sold at Sti.0C64.lS, with a top at $6.25. Receipts of hops this week have been very large, showing a considerable gain over the previous week, and still receipts are not quite up to the record for th cor responding week of a year ago. Heavy rains at all points have paused a general decline In the market, so thst the hogs today sold on an average about 2t! lower than at the close of last week.

There was, however, the usual goivl demand and everything offered sold very quickly at food strong prices. Lambs sold at $7.S5vj 50, with a load of yearlings as high as K.fcO. it Is hardly necessary to add that the market as a whole was In an entirely satisfactory condition so far as the selling Interests were concerned.
