Wheat started weak on the fine weather

The failure of small French house in the
grain trade was reported, and the name of
the principal being Dreyfus, 1t was at first
feared to be the great firm Of Louis Dreyfus

rally from the lowest point when it was
known that the Dreyfus who had failed was
an insignificant concern doing a small busi-
ness on a limited capital.
Domestic receipts were light. Chicago re-

NEW YORK, June 22.-The action of the
stock market today indicated the withdrawal
of the outside public from speculation p.nd-
ing definite news regarding the operations
of the American forces at Santiago and Ma
nila and until the effects of the new rav-
enue law and government loan are known.
The professional operators were unable to
advance or depress prices In any marked de-
gree. London operated on both sides OF the
market in Baltimore & Ohio, and was pur-
chaser of St. Paul. The weakness in Sugar.
ascribed to prospective annexation OF Ha-
wall, was feature. The bears had every
thing their own way in this speciality, and
were successful in forcing out round amounts
of stock, which carried the price down 21a
points to 1zS. The succeeding operations
were accompanied with considerable irregu-
larities, rallies of a point or thereabouts oc
curing frequently, but the evident lack of
inside support encouraged fresh demonstra-
tons by the traders at every rise, the stock
closing within nc of the lowest.
The feverishness of this security permeated
the general market for time, but the mark
ed reluctance of the standard shares to sue
cumb to bear pressure, coupled with some
favorable traffic statements, stimulated COW
ering in the granger group, which carried
these properties above the level of yesterday 8
close. The action of the Lake Shore di-
rectors increasing the semi annual dividend to
31a per cent was also contributory facter in
the late strength in the railways. Baltimore
& Ohio suffered a loss of 3h per cent en-
liquidation, Influenced by the drastic nature
OF the reorganization plan. Inc DdldHce VI
the list was devoid of feature and a resume
of comparative prices show exceedingly light
changes in either direction except in isolated
cases.
Transactions in bonds were on a large
scale, and prices of the leading specul tive
issues registered gains all around, with the
demand for the Union Pacific and Atchison
lines unusually heavy. The general specu-
lation exhibited strong tone, and furnished
ample evidence that large amounts OF capi
tai was seeking investment In stable seclri-
ties at remunerative rates. The aggregate
sales were 50, ,131, ,0CO. Government bsnds Were

SEED MARKETS.
CHICAGO, June 22.-The fax seed mar
ket ruled weak from the start 1t was ru-
mored that the bull clique, that is to say,
the National Linseed Oil company had
thrown up the sponge because of the good
outlook for new fax, and the demand falling
below their expectations. Receipts here were

Minneapolis. The official close as req ortei
