New York, May lA.-Ths stock market
was largely influenced to-day by the
wheat market, the movements In which
unsettled the tone in all speculative mar
kets. No doubt successful spectators OF
yesterday in wheat immediately placed q
part. at least. Of their pronts In the stock
markets. This kind Of support had no
small part In the undertone OF strength IN
stocks yesterday. To-day the wipsng out
OF paper profits and the tumbling Of prices
in wheat, resulting In the u~ncovertng OF
marRtns, induced the liquidation In the
stock market. The market during the ear
ly part of the day absorbed q very large
line Of offerings to llQuidate pronts ana
the selling for London account was also
heavy again. total sales for that account
being estimated at more than 5000 shares.
The general demand for stocks through
commission houses was SUFFICIENT to take
up these offerings ut q well sustained lew
I'll of prices. There was evidence also pf
the operation of bull. pools here and there
which are usually almost inactive ana I'M
movable. The strength impaired to these
stocks helped to sustain the market. ana
with the rally from the opening
in the wheat market there came q period
of aggressive strength in stocks which
lifted prices substantially above last
night's level. The decline was effected on
q much smaller volume Of offerings than
wa well absorbed In the morning DEAL
ings.
Short selling by the bears was conspic-
nous. A slump of over four points IN TO-
bacco also had its effect In the late weak
ness. There were fractional recoverfes be-
fore the close. which was firm at net loss
e. of more han a point In some cases.
Time loans were offered to-day at : per
| cent. up to four months. and prime mer-
| camille paper was also quoted lower at
8 to 6 per cent. There was, nevertheless.
a decline in the rates for sterling ex-
| change amounting to about half OF yeeter'
