.Vere It not for covering of shorts In
the Chicago market yesterday, with scat
tered buying1 on Investment account, there
would have been a far different story
related today. One of the factors of the
day and a feature also, was the strong
desire on the part of larger holders to
Bet rid of some of their wheat whenever
a lrnt within reach.
The more conservative men In the
state of Kansas believe with deterlora
H?,1? !n th8 counties claimed there will
still be enough wheat raised to break all
Previous records. Leading millers In
southwestern and western Kansas claim
mat crop damage claims are greatly ex

CHICAGO GRAIN AND IMlOViaiONS
Veatnrea of the Trading and Oloslni;
Prices on Hoard of Trade.
CHICAGO, May 2X Statements that
rain within a week or so would correct
much of the crop damage In Kansas
served todayl to temper down bullish en
thusiasm In wheat. The movoment closed
unchanged to Ho lower. Other leading
' staples all showed net gains corn, e;
oats, HHc to H3Ko and provisions 2V4
3'5c to 22Vo. Later estlnfates of the prob
able wheat yield In Kansas were 110,000,.
000 bushels to 116,000.000 bushels an against
a total of 90,000,000 buhels figured out
early In the day by an Influential au
thority. Warmer weather northwest and
continued slow merchandising trade had
effect on the bear side.
Big world shipments promised made
wheat longs willing' to tako profits. This
was done largoly at the expense of elev
enth hour Investors and belated charts
who for a while carried tho market
sharply higher. When theso buyers were
finally supplied, however, prloes fell back
limp.
Primary receipts of wheat today were
453,000 bushels; a year ago 306,000 bushels.
Seaboard clearances of wheat and flour
equaled 496,000 bushels.
In corn the fact that the country had
tightened up o.offerlngs led to covering
by a number of big short One concern
alone bought a million bushels. Stocks
are light.
Oats advanced on account of assertions
that the seven producing states would
have one-third less to sell this year than
the preceding season.

lacked the vitality to carry further the
upward movement of stocks yesterday
and the effect of today's trading on the
average of quoted values waa negligible.
The list opened fractionally lower and.
although there was no pronounced pres
sure, stocks sagged generally during the
forepart of the day. Subsequently the
market moved upward slowly, cancelling
tho early losses In. most cases. There
was renewed liquidation In some quarters
of the list. Pennsylvania declined to
100K, the low price for the movement,
St. Louis and San Francisco securities
continued their precipitate decline. The
first preferred touched 814. a drop of
nearly seven points, and the secoid pre-fei-Ad
declined to 11, a two-point fall.
The cables reported hesitation In the
foreign markets and London soldv about
6.000 shares here on balance. Conflicting
reports were received as to the effect on
sentiment abroad of the flotation of tho
Chinese loan, and It was assumed that
the Influence on the Investment situation
was as definite as the New York City
bond lssuo here, the direct stimulus hoped
for having been Impalrod in neither gain.
A Rain In cash bv the banks as a re
sult oi the weeK's operations was pre

statement pointed to a cash gain of
around $5,000,000.

CATTLE Receipts ot cattle were very
fair for a Friday, but over halt of the
total arrivals were through southern
cattle consigned to the northwest, so that
the actual beef offerings wore compara
tively light. The market, however, was
rather slow and dull. Handy weight and
light steers ruled about steady, the heav
ier kinds were slow to 610o lower than
Thursday and tho general market Is
closing irenarsllv a. dime lawar thun a
weok ago. Receipts this week have been
some 2.500 heavier than last, but the
market has boon nervous and weak from
start to i. men, indicating that the beef
situation Is far from satisfactory an4
that comparatively light suplles are nec
essary to maintain present values.
Thwe were only a few bunches of cows
and heifers on the market, and for the
most part they' sold at substantially
steady figures. Demand has been a little
broader the lost few days and the tons
to the trad has shown some Improve
ment, so that closing quotations this week
are suDsianuauy mo same as last, al
though ths outlet Is somewhat better
than a week ago. Veal oalves have been
In active demand and firm all woek and
there has been no particular chanae for
bulls, stags, eto.
A very light business was dona In stock
ers and feeders. In faot the volume of
business for tho weak has bsen ths
smallest for the season. A fow light and
green cattle havti sold right along at
steady to strong figures and show about
lwribo advance tor me weea. wnua mo
market for tho fleshy and short-fod
grades has been dull and unsatisfactory
from start to finish.

ST0CKER8 AND FEEDERS,
a. Ill 7 to
HOOa Receipts today ware moderate,
only 11 cars or 7,422 bead being reported
In. For the week the total Is 48.058, bs
lng over 5,000 smaller than for ths soma
days last week and nearly 19.000 lighter
than the corresponding period a year ago.
Considering the faot that other markets
reported lower values, ths market here
opened In fairly good shape, figures
auoted early being Just a shod lower
isn yesterday's average. As a rule,
however, salesmen held out for steady
prices and after dickering for mors than
an hpur buyers finally gave In and the
most of the offerings moved at figures
that were Just about ths same as yes
terday. As was tbe case Thursday, the
big long string sold at $8.80. The bulk
ot tho salos landed at $8.2508.85, tna j.
ter figure being ths highest paid, While
trading was very slow during ths early
rounds. It livened up later on and every
thing had bean sold at an early hour.
Shippers and speculators did not buy
nearly so heavily as they did yesterday.
Their bids were as a rule no hotter than
the packers', and consequently their pur
chases amounted to a very small share
of the supply.

will say tomorrow:
Tho volume of business In nearly nil
branches of trade and Industry contimtrs
vory largo but It Is mostly to meet Im
mediate needs. Confidence Is sustained
by tho prospect of big crops but manu
facturers and merchants still pursue a
conservative polloy, pending the termin
ation ot tariff uncertainty. Such reces
sion In trade aa exists It chleflv In the
nbseneo ot new orders for futurb deliv
ery. Mercantile and Industrial conditions nre
utrenethened by the absence of large
stocks and the financial situation Is
made moro recti by the absence ot
oxoessivo speculation. While cold
weather has served to delay planting
In some sections, crop conditions for
both spring wheat nnd corn are In the
main, very auspicious. This serve to
make business sentiment In the west and
south very cheerful.
The iron and steel mills are fully oc
puplcd In filling old orders, but then
a sharp falling off In volume of new
hualness.
Commercial failures In the United
States are B against 241 the corres

It Is difficult to find a keynote thai
will at once characterise trade conditions
the country over, which by large busi
ness continues-favorable, tho western alt
usH?.n Jn . theso respects being almost
antithetical to the repression prevailing
In the enst. Presumably the west Is
buoyed by sanguine wheat crop proa
pects and In that section ot the country
there does not appear to be much appre
hension as regards tariff revisions.
In any event, the west, northwest
southwest and far west art) doing well aa
regards jobbing trade and, while soma cen
ters In the middle west manifest more or
lees oonssrvatlam there la an obvtouf
disposition towards optimism, future
wants are being covered In a reasonably,
satisfactory way and tho general con
snnsus la that bualness Is moderately well
ahead of laat year.
jionay is quite active ror commercial
uses and Is easier, Collections do not
Improve much and In all they do 'not an-
poar to be above fair.
Tne stocK marxet operations remain aa.
for weeks; that Is, dull, and the success
of tho New York City bond Inane does
pot Impart tho fillip or new Impulse thai
