New York, July f3.-The Evening Posts London financial cablegram says: The general tone of the stock markets today was quiet but firm with a firm rise in prices. The settlement was easily ar ranged Money was easy and contagoes on Americans were only 214@2ls per cent.
 Americans were neglected, pending a fresh prompting from New York, but were hardening at the close on New York sup port. The stock exchange may be closed on several Saturdays ostensibly for repairs. but really because business promises to be slack. The matter has not yet been decided.
 The Paris and Berline markets were steady.

New York Cotton Market.


 New York July 13.-The cotton market opened firm at an advance of to points; further advance to points, partially reacted but closed firm at a net advance of 13 to IT points, with a total sales of 77,400 bales. The early advance due to a better class of cable news than had been expected leading to covering of fears of an overlarge short interest, while early crop accounts were conflicting The markets eased off partially on the appearance of the weekly weather and crop report, but soon rallied and closed at the highest on short covering.

MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS, May 19-Wheat opened
with a better show of strength this morning
on cables showing an improved tone In Liver
pool and London. The strength however was
OF short duration, for in less than fifteen min
utes the advance was wiped out, after which
the market ruled erratic and most of the
time weak up to noon. There was too much
good crop news and too little business to en-
courage bulls. There was a slackness. too
in the cash demand at all points East and
South. The character of the trading was
largely Of the scalping order, with either side
ready to run at a moments notice. The
news of the day was meager and mostly bear
1sh IN quality. Crop reports were nearly all
favorable, with Kansas especially to the front
with enlarged estimate. 1t is said however
that whatever the crop may be in Southern
Kansas and Oklahoma very little, II any,
will ever reach Kansas City or st. Louis, for
the reason that Missouri and Illinois milers
have practically bought the crop, to be shipped
as soon as the wheat is threshed. Ohio re-
ports an improvement for the week. but Mich
1gan reports the winter wheat turning yellow

With regard to the Northwest, the weather
Is pronounced perfect from all quarters
Rains are reported from nearly all points in the
spring wheat territory, and at time when it
will do the most good The cash wheat de-
mand was reported dead slack at Chicago and
New York. Clearances from the seaboard
reported large shipments and a conseuuent
large decrease in stocks for the week San
francisco reports the hottest weather of the
season and dry winds, which bodies Ill for
the growing crop.

IOWA CROP REPORT.
DIES MONIES, To-, May 1S.-The past week
was unseasonably cool, with prevalence Of
northwest winds and less than the normal
amount of sunshine. The average temper '
ature was from three to five degrees below
normal. There were light frOSts in all dis
tricts, but no material damage has been OBJ
served. The rainfall was generally light, and
in the northwest section warm showers would
be beneficial to all crops. Fair progress has
been made in preparing the ground for plant
ing. and in all districts a considerable area
has been planted, the amount ranging from
one-third to three-fourths- Of the total acre
age. With favoring conditions the bulk OF the
planting will be completed by the 22d. Re
ports indicate probable corn acreage very
nearly as great as that of 1896. The condi-
ton of spring wheat, oats and barley is
generally satisfactory, though the growth
has been retarded somewhat by cold winds.
Grass is doing WE'LL Apples, plums, cherries
and small fruit are quite promising.

MILLERS' LEAGUE.
Important Matters to Come Up at the
st. Louis Meeting.

Important Matters to Come Up at the
st. Louis Meeting.
ST. LOUIS, May 19.-Several hundred
delegates were present this afternoon
when the annual convention of the
Winter Wheat Millers' league Of the
United States was called to order at the
Planters hotel. From indications, the
present convention, which will be in
session two days, promises to be
record breaker, both in point of attend
ance and the Importance Of matters
discussed. An important matter to be
considered is the trade with foreign
countries and what can be done to
promote reciprocal relations. Accord
ing to Secretary E. F. Perry, Of India
napolis, the winter wheat millers were
the first to bring to Secretary Of State
Blafne's attention the desirability Of
forming reciprocal relations with for
eign countries. He said their business
abroad had suffered considerable as a
result of the abrogation of the recipro-
city treaty, and every effort has since
been made to secure their re-enactment.
The millers are not pleased with the
way the subject is being treated in the
tariff bill now before congress, and Mr..
Perry thinks that the present conven-
ton will take some decisive action
in the matter.
The meeting was called to order by
President M. P. Davis, of Shelby, O.,
who delivered his annual address. Fol-
lowing this the minutes of the previous
annual meeting were read and the re-
ports of Secretary Perry and Treasurer
Cutter presented. Perry reported that
despite the financial depression and
the consequent loss Of membership, the
league had about held its own during
the past year He thinks there will
be a large addition to the membership
at this meeting. After the appointment
of committees on resolutions and nomi-
nations, a recess for lunch was taken.

CHICAGO. May 19.-Wheat opened and
closed strong. after long intermediate spell
pf dispiriting dullness, and tendency to drift
downward The market closed at an ad-
vance of &c Strong cables favorable crop
reports and big export engagements took
turns in mildly buffeting prices. Corn was
weak, and declined Ac. Oats advanced Bc
and provisions closed at DC decline for
pork, and unchanged for lard and ribs.
In wheat. Liverpool had recovered an early
decline, and was already quarter pence higher
than 1t closed yesterday before this market
opened This was due, 1t was claimed, to
bad exports from the French crop. There
was nothing in the early news differing
from the prevailing conditions yesterday, and
the opening advance was due solely to the
Liverpool firmness. July opened here from
Tic to 71Ac against yesterdays closing price
of 705sc most of the trades being at n1sc
for about two minutes, and for an hour the
price did not go below 705sc, or above the
highest of the opening quotations.. The crop
news was rather favorable for the bears, as
the weather crop bulletin reported everything
favorable, with a steady increase IN pros
poets. California advices said no rain OF
consequence there and weather hot, but as
the San Francisco market was easier, the
crop news from there did not help the market
materially There were reports of damage by
the Hessian fly in Michigan. Kansas and
Missouri, but as they were not accompanied
by buying orders, they had little effect. Spec
ulative business was slack in the middle OF
the day both bulls and bears expressing un-
certainty as to the future of the market,
but after II o'clock the market began to go
down. Outside of Liverpool, foreign cables
were all weak and lower, and even Liverpool
did not hold all of its strength. July finally
sold down to 7Oas@7O1ac, but about twenty
as strong as at the opening, on reports of
considerable quantities Of wheat taken for
shipment east. July rose to 711sc ,and closed
at 71@715sc.
Corn was fairly active and is heavy on
large purchases by elevator people, against
which they sold futures in the pit. The
weather was favorable and the outlook good
for the coming crop. Exports were 1881 600
bu. July opened shade higher at 24Ac, de-
clined to AKc and rallied with wheat to
243s@249se bid, where 1t closed.
Oats were steady all day, but uninteresting.
Trading was narrow, the strength coming
principally from good shipping inquiry. Ex-
ports amounted to 81, 900 bu July opened a
shade higher at 17A@17%c, and was held
closing price Provisions were fairly steady
on a small amount Of business. The mar
ket was weak early on selling by the packers,
but recovered later under covering by shorts.
At the close, July pork was sc lower at
SS171s; July lard unchanged at $3.50, and
July ribs unchanged at $4. .471a.
Estimated receipts Thursday: Wheat, z
cars corn, 220; oats, 210 cars; hogs, 1000
