London FINANCES.

London, May 2-The present condi.
ton of the money market, as compared
with that of week ago, shows money
plentiful and but little prospect of a
change of rates. The stock exchange
has greatly improved in tone now that il
is seen that Europe is not likely to be
plunged into general war. The pacific
utterances Of the car and Emperor
Francis Joseph during their interviews
at st. Petersburg also have had the eff
feet of inspiring confidence, while a
favorable British budget, showing the I'M
diminished prosperity of Great Britain,
justifies renewal of investment. The
result is that most of the markets show
a distinct advance, the only gloomy spot
being the Transvaal, particularly Afri-
can mining securities, which have shown
q further decline. On the other hand,
Bulgarians have advanced 9 points !;
Turkish, 1 1-2; Greeks. 1 Italians, 2.
There Is also smart demand for Cana
dian Pacific. which has advanced 3 10
on the, strength Of the new tariff. Ameri-
cans, however, show but little improve
ment, and still take their cue from Wall
street. Central Uruguay has gone up
8 points. if 7f

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Chicago.

| Chicago, May 4.-The fine weather
was again the big factor in the grain pits
and the bears added one more victory
| today to their numerous previous sue
cesses. All the grain markets and pro-
visions were weak at the opening and be-
came worse the longer the trading lasted.
Wheat lost 1-2c corn 3-Sc, oats 1-4c
pork from Z lie to 10c, lard DC and ribs
7 1-2c.
In wheat the looked-for sunshine was
| the only feature at the opening, the i'm
provement in the weather not only cOun-
teracting the effect of higher quotations
| from Liverpool and Paris, but also
wiping out about LIE of the price which
prevailed at the close yesterday. The
foreign markets were probably firmer be-
cause of the poor prospect for growing
crops for the United Kingdom and
France. With the exception that the
the home prospects were no better, but
that one fact overshadowed everything
else. July opened at 70@7O Lac, yes
terday's closing price being 20 lie. 1t
ranged between that and 60 Use for a
time and then began to feel more and
more the pressure from the short sellers,
which showed no signs of cessation till
the price had been forced down to
go 1-4c. 1t was hanging around the lat
ment was received, at II o'clock. That
caused a temporary diversion in favor of
the bulls. 1t gave decrease for the
week of CPL 900 bushels. Many of the
smaller shorts were in a hurry to cover
on such a striking decrease, and many
hesitating bulls took hold also. but most
of the heavy shorts waited till the
buyers had exhausted themselves, which
they did in a very short time, after
sudden squirt had carried the price up to
20 1-Sc. Then the heavy guns were
turned again on the market, and in half
an hour they were smashed down to
6S 3-4c. Chicago receipts were "a
cars; Minneapolis and Duluth got 300
cars against 315 cars q week ago and
531 cars a year ago. Atlantic port
clearances were quite insignificant. After
declining near the close to 6S 3-4Cd6S Use,
July stopped at SOC, or 1 lie loss for
the day.
There was a fair amount of trade in
corn, in which, as in wheat, the bears
had the upper hand. The weakness
was due to the fine weather in the coun-
try favoring the early preparation of the
ground for planting and to the weakness
in wheat, July was offered very freely. |
Exports, $4,000 bushels.
Oats were steady, but the deferred de- |
liveres were dull.
PROVISIONS were easy, anected prlnci- |
pally by the general decline in the grain |
pits. t
Hog products were also weak and had |
some influence, The market opened |
fairly steady, but soon turned weak and
remained so. At the close July pork |
was 10c lower, July lard 12c and ribs
7 1-2c.
Estimated receipts for Wednesday:
Wheat, IL cars; corn, 40 cars; oats,
1856 cars; hogs, $4,000 head.
Cash quotations were as follows:
Flour-Nominally lower.
No 2 spring wheat, 6914@70114c; No. 3

GREEKS BEHAVE BADLY

London. May 1.-The Times cores
pendent at Patras. giving further details
of the fighting at Pentepigidia, notes the
neglect of the officers to provide for the
timely arrival of reinforcements, that
matter so difficult in that wild SECTION
of the country, and proceeds: when
the Turks opened the attack l realized
that their fierce onslaught might expel
the mere handful of Greeks, but did
not realize that this one blow would
throw the entire Greek army in Epirus
into a hopeless panic and cause the loss
of all the positions gained since the
opening of the campaign.
"Six thousand Turks scaled the noun
tain, covered, as it is, with bushes and
rocks, and in the face of firing, which
was rapid and continuous. They lost
heavily, in spite of the fact that two
Greek guns were ineXplicably removed
from action shortly after the fusillade
began. The Evzounes fought bravely
but were compelled to retire.
"The rest of the Greek positions have
been abandoned. There has been appar.
emily no stand anywhere. and the whole
army is crumbling without firing shot
We entered Kumuzades, which 5000 mer
with six guns had deserted, accompanied
by the terrified villagers carrying theil
property, and then we descended through

New York.

New York, May 4.-The cotton mar.
ket ruled generally weak, cables from
Liverpool and the continent being disap.

a bearish average, and the southern spot
markets showing easier tendency. Open
ing with prices unchanged to 3 points
lower, the first call was followed by a
further decline of 4@5 points. Efforts
were made by the bear contingent to
force out long cotton, but selling was
checked by conflicting accounts regard
ing the condition of the banks of the Mis-
sissippi river, some wires claiming that
the water was only held in check by. SUI
perhuman efforts. But little Importance
was attached to these dispatches, yet
they served to stop the bear raids in
