STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, May 26.-The speculation
today upon the Stock Exchange was pro-
fessona in the extreme and even at that
the dealings were on Il rOre limited scale
than for some time past, and the tiuctu-
atoms in nearly every instance narrow.
At intervals the trading came to an ac-
tual standstill. Business in Americans
in London after the holidays was on a
declining trend, the foreign dealers being
sympathetically influenced by the change
in the speculative temper here yesterday
from the firm tone that had characterized
the last weeks market. On the local
exchange the operations for European
accounts were on both sides of the market
with more of the orders, however, to sell.
There was a dearth of news bearing gen
orally upon prices excepting Il few crop
reports and railway earnings and Il slight
" easier tendency i'll money rates. ms
last development was largely due to the
apathy in the stock market. The earn
ings were mainly favorable, but no stress
was made upon an item of n decidedly
encourag ing character, namely, an in
creasing movement of corn Yesterday
and today the receipts of that staple were
on a much larger scale than during the
previous week, although shipments still
show consderabl BILE falling off as compar'
cd with this time last year. The special
ties were again the points of chief inter-
est, with Sugar and Manhattan the most
conspicuous for irregularity of movement.
The first mentioned stock was relatively
active and its course was clearly the re-
suit of manipulations by inside interests;

other weak market today and July wheat
finally closed 3-4c lower than the closing
price yesterday. Corn and oats dis
played the same dropping tendency and
declined Lie each.
Provisions show no indication OF con-
valescence and made further declines.
Wheat-There was just fair specula-
tive trade: the market though at times
exhibiting considerable life and activity,
the range for the day being 1c, The sell
ing developed and manifested continue
ton of yesterday and still lower prices
were scored. The news at hand was
little disappointing to holders, the liberal
northwestern receipts. old cars, and
clear conditions in the southwest. where
harvesting will commence shortly and
become general next week, had a ten
dency to make operators favor the short
side. The liberal worlds shipments,
amounting to S514 bushels, also had CON
siderable influence on the market. But
the fact is, it is not the bear news which
is weakening wheat so much as it is dis
enlargement. For some time the trade
has had crop damage news and light
stocks abroad and week after week less
received abroad than is weekly con-
sumed, but in the face of this the market
has stubbOrnly refused to bull; this has
finally discouraged longs and it was their
free selling more than the news which
caused the break.
Corn was again weaker and a further
decline was made. The large local re-
ceipts and favorable weather were the
depressing influences, as was also the
weakness in wheat.
Oats were fairly active. but the situa-
ton showed no Improvement. Continued
heavy receipts with the weakness of
wheat and corn were the prime factors
influencing prices.
PROVISIONS again suffered from the gen.
eral liquidation which has been going on
for some time, the small run of hogs hav-
ing no effect whatever. Trade was only
moderately active.

why the new crop positions did not de-

have been an over-discounting of favora-

ing. some Improvement was expected to
