Kealures of the Trading and Closing;
Prlrra on Board of Trade.
CHICAGO, May 11. Alleged Indications
that the comparative weakness of wheat
at Dululh was, in part at least, the result
f manipulation at Chicago Intended to
utaden the effect of threatened further
Miili.menta here from that port. After a
liiiiij struggle, traders emerged from the
pit with prices lu higher for the Muy
option, and unchanged ,'B5c up for the
deferred deliveries. Corn closed unchanged
1 lc higher, oats. rii to He higher, and
provisions f.c to lflc lower.
Temporarily, when the wheat market
weemeu about to give way In earnest, the
most talked of mutter was a dispatch from
Dultith asserting that the May and cash
wheat trade there waa "sick." and that
cargoes, for Chicago could be gathered
viihout trouble. Reports ni rain In the
I unadian northwest added to the difficul
ties of the bulls. Just In the nick of time
tor the bulls a telegram arrived disclosing
that a prominent firm In Chicago was sell
ing May wheat lu Duluth and delivering
the stuff Immediately. The situation then
Improved and rinsed firm at lUUWUH'i for
.St ptrinhci , a net advance of V3c. May
wns erratic, fluctuating "c between trades.
Leading longs In wheat bought corn
caily and soid it out late, but trade on the
whole was small. September finished
steady at a shade higher at IBV'. Cash
demand was slow. No. 2 yellow sold at
tiaryMc.
Trade In oats "sas on a liberal scale. The
close was steady with September So up at

NKW YORK. May ll.-The persistence
with which slocks were absorbed at the
various price levels today had an Influence
In stiffening speculstlve confidence and
formed the tone of the market. Such con
spicuous market leaders as the Hnrrlman
Pacifies, Northern Pacific. Chesapeake
Ohio and. at times. United States Steel,
were held back by realising sales of tnls
kind. These sales were renewed quite ac
tively at the last and unsettled the closing
tone considerably. The quieter tone of the
wheat market today took the edge oft the
e4fect of yesterday's sudden slump.
There was a realisation that speculative
maneuvers In that market shared with crop
conditions In the causes for the action of
the price. The after-effects of the govern
ment crop report have been, however, to
allay the most serious of the anxiety which
was felt over the amount of damage done
to the grain crops by the severe weather
of the latter part of April. Current reports
also point to constant Improvement In con
ditions, especially In the spring wheat belt.
Besides the growing Influence of the ag
ricultural general prospect, the securities
market is having the benefit of 'other gen
eral considerations. The passing of the de
pression caused by the succession to the
British throne brought with It a sense of
substantial relief which. It was felt, en
titled the stock market to an upward reac
tion. This Is an influence that passes by
sympathy between the international mar
kets. !t waa strengthened today by the abas
ing of the money markets. The private dis
count rate In Berlin was marked down a
fraction and London cablet pointed to the
imriiiioou oi a reauction in the ornelal dis
count of the Bank of England tomorrow.
In New York demand sterling touched
34.8S3."), the lowest price of the year, with
Fume unequent recovery. By small ad
ditional details, the main contention as to
the Importance of the foreign aales of new
securities Is coming to be verified. This
forma a continuing Influence in favor nf
the whole financial situation.
A good deal of attention was Dnld to the
copper metal market, and there were many
rumors current of developments In that
trade. Official Information of copper trans
action! beyond the publication of the sta-
i suca or tne copper Producers' associa
tion la not to be had. The price of the
metal advanced again here, but fell back
In London. Last mnnth'a iirsa ei.mitt-
Jlon was attributed mostly to the leading
interest, and Its control waa said to have
Increased sufficiently as a consequence to
rnaoie ii ia exact the better prices from
aome Of the recent huveia A imi,.
better tone also was saW to be growing
up In the Iron market. The record lake
shlpmenti of ore for April came Into the
uinuunimin or ine traae position.
Brooklyn Transit was the .nhi..! r.t a..i
dend rumors. Wabash was affected by the
revival of old rumors of new control. Ad
justment of the trunk line rilan.ii. i.
port freight rates and proposed Increases
in suburban passenger rates out of New

CATTI.K Receipts tvere liberal
today and the quality of the offerings con
tinues verv fair. There was no Dai'licolar
change In the general conditions surround
ing the trade, and with a goori tiemaiiu
from both local packers and eastern buy
ers, the market was fairly active and fully
steady as far as desirable cattle of all
weights waa concerned. On the other nanu,
the liberal offerings enabled buyers to be
a little more discriminating In their pur
chane and there was a general disposition
to snatie prices more or less on tne nan
fat and unfinished grades, and In many
cases salesmen were compelled to take off
rtjl0c. The general trade was anywhere
from steady to 10c lower than ycstcrdtiy
and the movement was quite brisk on this
basis.
As has been the c.ixe rieht along re
cently, the offerings of cows and heifers
were comparatively limited, not over twenty-five
or thirty cars being on sale, and
W'ith a good demand from all classes of
buyers, the market was substantially the
same as on yesterday. Fat heifers run 'I
stronir and there was nlcnlv of IniHlll'V i.
Hie thin cows and heifers nf good qnal.iy
from feeder buyers. Medium and common
grades were a little slow, owing to had re
ports from eastern points, but the general
market was about steady and a prettv
early clearance was made. Veal calves
were fully steady, and bulls, stags, etc.,
firm.
Business In Blockers nnd feeders was
rather light, as supply and demand were
limited, tlood to choice light weight stuff
commanded strong figures, while the ordi
nary run of- light and medium weight
steers and heifers were slow sale at un
changed figures. May is usually a month
or small trading in Blockers and fredeis
and this year promises to furnish no ex
ception to the rule.

HOUS Shippers needed a good many hogs
for outside orueis today and bought up al
most 0. third of total supply during early
hours at prices that wrre quotably strong.
Some nickel higher business was done, but
demand was discriminating at any advance
and only tho lighter grades were wanted
Packers Insisted on paying prices no better
than steady and were finally able to put
up their larger droves on this basis. Move
ment was reasonably active and .tactically
all of the receipts, 103 cars in all, had been
sold by midday.
During late rounds, after some of the
nrsvler bujers had left the alleys, trade
beramw dull and weak with the result thst
a few loads had lo sell at figures fllghtly
lower than those that prevailed yesterday.
Generally steady with the opening strong
snd the close weak, would Just about de
scribe the situation as a whole.

LOCOMOTIVE'S ALLOTTED TASK
Kxperled to Cover a Definite Mlleac
flefnre It la F.ntltled tn Be
tl erkaaled.
When a locomollva Is built It is expected
to mske a certain mileage, before It receives
a general overhauling. When that over
hauling Is done It Is again to make a defi
nite mileage.
Tho inodrrn passenger locomotive IS ex
pected to cover IflO.OoO miles between gen
eral "shoppings," intermediate repair being
made at the various roundhouses.
Responsibility for the failure of a locd
niottv, to perform the work cut out for it
Is easily fixed by means of a system Of
records. The superintendent of shops Is
responsible for all power cut out of servlca
on ths road and placed Inside the shop
grounds, and this responsibility does not
end until the locomotive Is ready for serv
ice again. From the time that it Is ready
for strvlce until It Is once more cut out
for repairs in ths shop the master me
chanio shoulders the responsibility.
Whin tha locomotive Is ready to leave
the shops It Is Inspected Jointly by ths
shop Inspector, under the superintendent
of shops, and the Inspector working under
the master mechanic. Every workman
who had any part whatever In the handling
of tha locomotive Is responsible to his Im
mediate foreman, just as ths foreman la
responsible to his superiors.
In spite of the many intricate parts of
locomotive the company records show few
failures. An "engine failure" Is a delay
of one minute or more to any train, pro
vided It Is caused by a failure of tha ma
chinery of the locomotive.
Ths labor of every man who works for
even an hour upon ft certain engine is
charged to that engine, each mechanic re
cording his labor upon a slip of paper
known as ths dally time certificate, which
In turn is certified to by the general time,
keeper. The records of the road enable
the officials to show tha exact cost of
labor and material for each mile that a
locomotive travels or each ton hauled.
In the case of collisions or wrecks, where
the fauld Is not one of defective workman
ship or material, the locomotive may enter
the general shops for rebuilding, even
though It may not have completed tha
mileage assigned to tt, and no responsi
bility attaches to those on whom It would
otherwise fall. Tha locomotive Is simply
repaired and Is allowed to complete the
mileage originally assigned to It.
When a locomotive Is brought into ths
Shops for work It Is first stripped by the
men who comprise what Is known as the
stripping gang. This gang Immediately
lakes off such parts of the engine as are
necessary for the Job.
The parts to be repaired are cleaned tn
a vat and the work la then distributed
among the vsrlous employes of the machine
and blacksmith departments, each part
when repaired to be returned to the erect
ing side of tha shop, to bo mounted again
on tha locomotive by tha date on which It
Is scheduled to go on the road. The dates
are posted lu a conspicuous place, conven
ient to each repair gang. New York Her
