show 81 strength derived from the
lightness OF northwest receipts, May "
@Nc better than yesterdays close at
69N @69Mc. Shorts were early buyers
and commission houses executed a
plenitude Of country orders, mainly
from the northwest. Talk of a better
export inquiry 1oated around, a de-
crease in the visible was predicted for
this week and Argentine reported rains
IN the midst of harvest operations, all
of which acted as an incentive to buy.
On the advance which carried May to
70Ac, nearly one cent over yesterday,
trading was active, but lost its anima-
ton towards the close, when the mar
ket eased off on profit taking and sell
ing against calls, above which mark
the price foated most of the time. May
eased off to 69%c, at which it closed
h@Bc better than yesterday. New
York reported Is loads taken for ex-
port. Primary receipts, 694, 900 bush
els, against 1,470,100 last year. Mime
apolis and Duluth reported 499 cars,
compared with 91S a year ago. Local
receipts were 1873 cars, rs of which were
graded contract. Atlantic port clear
ings in wheat and flour were equal to
Gil, 600 bushels.
Corn ruled firm strengthened primar-
lily by light receipts, but to a degree by
wheat, the fluctuations of which mar
ket it followed in a small way. Trade
was dull throughout the session. Re-
ceivers generally reported free country
offerings. New York asserted that ex-
port business to the extent Of IS boat
loads had been done. Clearances were
heavy, Atlantic port reaching 1,277, 900
bushels. Local receipts were 206 cars,
and at primary western points $4,000
bushels, against 100000 a year ago.
May opened a shade up at 323sc, rang
ed from 1925 @32asc, and closed &c
better at 32Bc.
Oats were steady and quiet, a little
higher with other grains. Receipts,
147 cars, were light, and the spring de-
mand slow. The market was largely a
scalping one and the range narrow.
May sold from 23Mc to 243sc, and clos
ed 1sc higher at 241sc.
Provisions were steady and the mar
ket dull most of the time. Large re-
ceipts or hogs over expectations and
lower prices for the same, coupled with
some selling by packers, were the cause
for the falling off in the price, but the
market held steady at the decline in
sympathy with grain. May pork sold
from S9.75@9.77R to s9.S7h. closing
215c under yesterday at $3.50; May lard
from $5.45 to s5.471z, and closed 2hc
under at $5.45. May ribs ranged from
s5.25 to $5.25K, and closed 2hc down
at $5.25.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow:
Wheat, 1870 cars; corn, $50 cars; oats,
160 cars; hogs, $4,000 head.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

Stocks-Dealings on the stock ex-
change approached a condition of stag
nation several times to-day at intervals
between periods of spasmodic activity.
The day was almost an exact repetition
Of yesterday, with periods of strength
at the opening and neal the close and
an interval of acute weakness in some
stocks. The early strength was largely
due to the cheerful view of American
securities taken by London operators,
who bought quite largely in this mar
ket. Rather positive evidence of
strength in Union Pacific helped on the
late rally. The iron and steel stocks
were quite conspicuous in the early
strength, probably on account of cover
ing operations by bears, who sold them
yesterday, but this only served to make
them more vulnerable to attack and
their subsequent relapse was quite vio-
lent. The same was true of the an
thracite group, which advanced sharp
ly and then developed acute weakness,
New Jersey Central leading with a fall
OF 3 points. The tobacco stocks were
the severest sufferers on reports of a
projected opposition in the trade by in
terests which have been raised from the
present companies. American Tobacco
and Continental Tobacco dropped four
and 2% respectively. Sugar and
Brooklyn Transit were conspicuous in
the dealings, as was the case Yesterday.
The former stock vibrated widely above
and below yesterdays level and closed
with a small net gain. The unsettled

The condition of the money market
