' CHICAGO, May a. Optimistic reports re.
larding tha condition of the croo In Kan
aus caused weakness today In the- local
wheat market, tha July delivery closing
At a net decline of Ve. Corn was down
tJo. frovisione were vaia to mo lower
I he wheat market waa erratic, prices
ringing from VstjH higher to HUHo lower
than the closu yesterday. The greatest
wtaicnesa waa manifested late in the nay
and was .caused chiefly bv a report from
Kansaa. The wheat crop In Kansas, In
' aplte of damage done by drouth, will bo
anywhem from 80.10.000 to 110.000,000 bush
els. Damage reports received early In
the day from Bulgaria, Koumania and
Xanaaa had a strengthening effeot. A
bearish factor waa the large amount nf
wheat shipped from Argentina during the
i. me- marvel closed weak, juiy
opened Hm lower, at 90Wf4iC. ad-
Vliere tt closed. Clearances of wheat and
flour were equal to IM.10U buehela, Ex
ports for the week as ahown by Ri ad
street's were equal to 2.83OO0O bushel.
Primary receipts were SnO.OOO bushels,
against 662,000 bushels on the same day
last year. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chi
cago reported receipts of 192 cara, against
183 ears laat week and 840 cara a year ago.
Com was weak, on selling. The market
waa subjected to considerable Selling pres
sure all day and closed weak and near
the loweat point. The Increase In offer
ing waa due to a report that a large
amount of corn Is enroute to Chicago and
also because of the Improved weather for
farm work. Trade In the May delivery
was llnt- but th,t option dropped from
774o to 75c. The market closed weak and
May at 76140. July opened HTr'ae to
o higher, at eeSc, declined to 66'4
(iWttto and closed at &a. Ixx-al receipts
182 cara with 61 cara of contract grade. .
The oata market waa steady all day,
the feature being the aelllng of September
by longs. July opened unchanged, at MV4
Old between 4Wc and 4eTVft47c and cloaed
at 4ff'4c. Local receipts were IS cars.
Provisions were weak on selling of lard
by local packers. A WinOc advance In live
hogs bad apparently no effect. At the
close July pork wa lOo lower, at US.ffii4.
Lard waa JOo lower, at S.4714, Hlba were
67Ho lower, at $7.7.S7V4. .

NEW YORK. May 22. The contraction
In the dealings In stocks today seemed
to Indicate aome subsidence of speculative
Interest, the total sales for the day fail
ing to the smallest for any day this
week. The prlre movement was as pus
illng to any effort to discern the real cu-
rlctlor.s of those operating In the market
a for several days past. The constant
barking and filling kept alive a sus
picion that concealment waa being sought
for the genuine transactions under a
cloud of manipulative orders and the
shifting operations of the traders Induced
by those orders.
The opening prices, coupled to the brisk
rally at yesterd iy" closing, resulted In
bringing prices 1,, some cases' up to near
the high levels touched earlier In the
week. Traders who thought that this
heralded renewal of the advance to new
high levels and who bought stocks on
the assumption were then disconcerted
by a sharp reaction. The movement
thereafter waa almost wholly confused.
The reaction came at the time an an
nouncement waa made that a suit had
been filed by the government against the
New Haven system alleging violation of
the anti-trust law. The mitigation of the
rigor of the administration policy of
the pursuit of the railroad corporations
has been a good deal dwelt on in specu
lative discussion as one of the grounds
for the recent advance In the stork mar
ket. This news appealed to soma of
those who had bought stocks on such as
sumptions. Otherwise there waa little
reflection of new events In the day'a
-,..1,-1 . n , 1.11 h.1 i.l w. tin.
ciflc M'all Jumped spasmodically on tho
news that the ship subsidy provision naa
rone to conference In the poetofflce ap
propriation Dill ana reiapsea even iikmo
violently when the vole rejecting tho
conference report wa reported. National
Lead reflected a report that the price
of that metal had been advanced. The
aneclal heaviness of Amalaamated Cop
per wa partly In response to a decline
in that metal In London. The decision
of the steel magnates to maintain the
prices of finished products seemed to
meet with the favor of stock operators.
United mates tsteei rising anarpiy at ine
outset. That stock moved as narrowly
and slugalahly throughout aa It bas for
long time past. Not much tntereat wva
shown In the forecasts of tha bank state
ment owing to the unvaried ease of the
money market. The week'u absorption by
the subtreasury and the gold exports
amounted to 38.786.000 and only rough
cash seems to have been received, oil bal
ance on the interior movement to reduce
this decline to about 86.000.000. No gold
engagements for export were announced
ror tomorrow, but intimations were given
that more would ro out next week. Dis
count rates declined both In London afld
Paris today. Foreign exchange lire waa
unchanged. Time money markets showed
some activity, especially for elx months
loans, which were made at 8V per cent,
Bonds were heavy. Total sale-, par
value, 84,546.000. United btatea bonds
were nnchanfired on call.

CATTLE Receipt of cattle were very
light this morning, only forty-four cars
Deing reported in. in addition to wnion
were a few hold-over from yesterday. Of
the fresh receipts some were direct to
packer and some were through stuff not
offered for sale, o that the total number
on aale waa hardly large enough to really
make a market.
The market on beef steers closed "rot
ten" yesterday, the trade being In the
worse demoralised condition experienced at
this point In a long time. It hardly seemed
possible that the market today could be
any worse and aatusmen aa a rule were
not quoting Jt much different from th")
low point yesterday. However, the de
mand was light and the market dull and
of a very Indifferent character. The dual
Ity of the cattle was nothing extra and
some big, heavy cattle on the coarse order
were extremely hartf-to move, no one im
Ing to want them. It la safe to quote the
market today a 4050c lower than a week
ago on the common to medium grade. On
the other nand, the better kinds or cattle,
such as were bringing around 86.40ti26.80,
are not over 2025o lower, with prima cat
tle 10626c lower.
There were not enough cowa and heifers
here to Interest buyers to any extent, so
that the trade was lacking in interest, with
prices hardly quotably different from yea
terday. The market on cows and heifers
as compared with a week ago -shows the
same change, as noted In the case of beef
steers. Thus while the medium grades are
around 4(60o lower, choice corn-fed cow
and neuer are not over uxnaxj lower.
There were no Blockers or feeder of any
consequence In the yards this morning,
The receipts ot that kind of cattle have
been very light all the week and In conse
quence the better grades have not shown
much change. During the early part of
the week common. Inferior atnoker were
hard to move, but aa speculators have
cleaned up their surplus, the reeling h
been a little better, although the demand
la very limited
