GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET Various Factors Tend to Make Condi tions Irregular. SHORTS ARE FORCED TO COVER Oatatandlng Mar Options Offset Bear ish Crop HHoatloai Recent Rains General, Dampening Talk of Dronth. OMAHA. May . 1911. The trade In wheat is very unsettled and the market anion very irregular, due to the nut'tandlng May contracts, which are offsetting bearish crop conditions and r irclng shorts to cover, advancing values as sellers are timid In pressing any fa torable crop news. The recent rains have been general and of great benefit to both v Inter and spring wheat crops. The flrmnps In corn Is also due to short covering, as rains have put the new crop In f;ne shnpe, and reports Indicate farmers are ready to sell reserves In Inrge volume, and Mocks should Increase. Shipping sales .vers made on the brenk In cash prices and trls may offset the Increase In receipts. Heavy buying by the scattered short In terest put the wheat sharply higher In face of the firm crop outbreak and general bearish situation. Cash wheat was un chsnged. The shorts lr corn followed the lead In wheat owing to the light stocks on hand. Crop, news is favorable and receipts are expected to Increase.

NEW YORK, May 21-In the stock mar ket today the most -Aggressive operations were In the shape of selling movements di rected against the market leaders, Particu larly United States steel, and after an early decline, followed by a rally, an un mistakable reactionary tendency developed. Trading was almost the lightest In a week until the final hour. Prices of many active Issues declined a point or more, but a rally was effected shortly before the close and a large part of the day's losses were re covered. - Today's reaction may reasonably be at tributed to the professional traders, many of whom have taken profits on the rise which followed the Standard Oil decision, and now argue that technical conditions favor a halt. Amalgamated copper was the strongest of the active stocks. The demand for this Issue presumably' was based In large part on the Improved condition of the copper metal market. American Smelting also was In good demand. . The Hill stocks showed further strength today, as did Western Union, which has come Into demand of late. Ths fertlllrer shares made some recovery from their pre vious weakness. Time money was easy today, ruling at rates which prevailed last week.

As com pared with a year ago, there Is a slight gain. Most other msrkt points were well supplied with cattle snd the feeling gen erally was a little easier. Beef steers opened with buyers holding back, evidently with the idea of learning something about prices st other points be fore taking on very many cattle. The trade the first half of the morning was a good deal of a draz. hut atlll it entiled down Into a market that was not very much different from yesterday's later mar ket. - In fact, a good many were quoting 11 aicau; wun yeateroay s Close, but hardly u guou as we Deal tims yesterday morn, lng. . . fo very great change took place In the market for cows and heifers. As was the case yesterday, good light heifers sold .very freely at good steady prices. Heavy snd plain cattie were a little alow and none too atrong. There were not enough atorkera nr feed ere in sight to make a market, but what few there were sold st vsry strong prices, the same aa they havs been doing for some days back.

Burdensome receipts were responsible, hut the demand was broad and the market showed a very fair degree of freedom. A supply of fully 16.000 head changed hands In less than three hours, margins between lard, butcher and bacon weights remaining unchanged at cheaper cost. Active movement at least found a partial explanation In the outlet furnished by order and speculative buyers. About one eighth of the total offerinka moved Into channels other than local packing and se lection of weights by this class of buyers was by no means critical. All kinds of animals, barring poor and rough quality Stock, went over the scales to shipping and speculative pens Long strings ranged from $7.50 to $".6f, butchers selling around I5.fo.y6 60. Best light grades on sale dropped to 85.70, a nickel les then yesterday a top and 8uo less than high pries a week ago rtepreaeniauve sales: No. At. Sk. Tr. Ne. v. la. Pr.

Buyers made no secret of their needs snd despite the fact that offerings amounted to shout thirty doubles, prac tically everything sold at big advances over yesterday's sales. Cost of various standard bands t.f stock averaged ltVf2So higher, the larger premium being the rule and the smaller one the exception. Vigorous demand existed for anything fit to kill from the opening and It follows, of course, that a very good celarance was made wltho'it difficulty or delay. To this demand, due to lighter storks of dressed lamb as well as a broad consuming de mand. Is generally ascribed the sky-high trend of the market lately. Shorn lambs were In best supply and proved favorites. Hulk of western animals without fleece moved at a range of 86.6itf 7.00, this spread calling for good to chotce quality and 70 to 85-pound weight. Right around six loads of wooled Mexican lamhs were offered and the best grades sold as mgn as ii.nu, lending belief that the ratio between wooled and shorn stock prices hs been properly sdjuated. Extra good sprln Ismha made sn sctual top of 3 0ft. There in only e, sprinkling of mature euerv tin saie ana volume oi traae was hart'ly large enough to reflect t quotable market. Wooled Mexican ewes reached 36.10. shorn ewes sold at $4.50 and shorn wethers acted credibly at 36.00.
