Receipts Yesterday Were
Fairly Liberal.
TOP PRICE WAS $500
Cattle Market Was Active and
Firm.

Receipts at the stockyards yesterday
were liberal The total number of hogs
which came in aggregated LIS, COM
pared with 1,453 Of a week ago. There
was fair run Of wagon hogs, although
not as large as several days this week.
Some Of the car lots did not arrive un-
til late. delaying the close of the mar
ket.
The market yesterday was steady,
strong to a shade higher at the opening.
It remained at that point the greater
part of the day. The close was steady,
with draggy sales. The demand was ac-
tive early in the day, but sales were slow
st the last.
The quality yesterday was generally
good, and was the best of the week.
There were a number Of choice loads in
which brought the top prices. There
were a few loads Of common mixed hogs
in, but these were not in the majority.
The wagon hogs were generally a good
lot
The top price Of the day was 500. the
same as the previous day. The bulk of
the sales went at $4.S505.OO, practically
the same as Thursday. Wagon hogs sold
at coed comparative prices, ranging but
a little of the car lot prices.
The market compared well with other
western ones. Kansas City quoted the
market as steady. st. Louis sent out
the report that hogs were selling slow,
while Chicago quoted hogs as active and
closing strong.

GENT and h QUARTER
Government Crop Report and
the General Outlook
CLIPS OFF JULY WHEAT
Corn an Equal Loser--0ther
Markets Decline.

Chicago, May u.-Wheat dropped nc
today. July closing at S524c. The reported
splendid outlook OF the coming crop
throughout the southwest and govern
ment crop statistics were the main fac
tors of weakness, which compelled liqui-
dalton. Indications of a heavier acreage
planted than ever before, coupled with
the decline IN wheat, caused "a slump IN
corn. July closed with a. loss of 11s6
nc. Oats lost 7sc and provisions from
212 to L1zc.
Wheat opened quiet and a. fraction
lower. Traders were in a quandary as
to how to interpret the government crop
report, the area being smaller while the
condition showed decided improvement.
That the report was generally regarded
as somewhat bearish was soon evident,
however, from the downward tendency
of prices. Continued dry weather
throughout the northwest, together with
some sensationally bad advices from
Tennessee, checked the decline for time
but when reports from the southwest
of the excellent condition Of the coming
crop began to flood the pit, liquidation
by longs became quite general and the
price kept rolling down until stop-loss
selling, also contributed to the weak
ness. July opened Is to Ac lower at 66A
G663sc, sold sparingly at 66&c, declined to
655s d654c, and closed at 65Ac. Chicago
receipts were y cars, one OF which
graded contract. Minneapolis and Du-
luth got 203 cars, compared with 2S5 the
corresponding day a year ago. Brad
streets reported the weeks clearances
from both coasts at 3.4S0000 bushels,
wheat and -four Indications We're fer
o.a hole ha aalr
in the visible supply. Argentine ship
ments for the week were 100000 bush
els Today's Atlantic port clearances
equalled 6lS 600 in wheat and -four.
Corn opened steady, but began to give
way Immediately under active liquidation
and had a downward tendency during the
great part Of the session. The weakness
was increased toward the close by stop
loss selling. A poor shipping demand,
fevorab Bile planting weather and reports
that a greater area than usual was gem
orally expected, were the depressing in
huences. Receipts, 164 cars. Argentine
shipments for the week wer only 5000
bushls and Bradstreet's reported the
weeks clearances at 4,63S,0O0 bushels.
July opened unchanged at 3s1sg39c,
touched SOC, declined to 373sq3794c, and
closed at STAG.
Oats ruled weak in sympathy with 9TH
er grains. Perfect weather conditions
were also against the market Receipts,
l37 cars July opened a shade higher at
229s d2224c and declined to 22Ac at the
close.
Provisions ruled fairly steady until the
session was nearing its end, when de-
moralization of the bulls in corn made
longs timorous and throwing over OF
holdings caused a sharp decline. July
pork closed with a IosS Of PIC, at
ST.. 521a; July lard TIC lower at $6.S212g
6.S5, and July ribs off 212c at $3.50.
Estimated receipts for Saturday: Wheat
20 cars; corn, 10; oats, 165; hogs, 1900

STOCKS YIELD Again
Pressure of Liquidation Over
bears Everything.
PRICESAT WEEKS LOWEST
In Many Cases--Rank State
ment Unfavorable.

New York, May 1.-THE stock market
succumbed ag anitoday to the pressure
of liquidation, which efectually overbore
what elements Of strength showed in the
early trading, wiped out yesterdays re-
coveries and carried prices down.in many
instances to the lowest of the week.
There was nothing in the news of the
day to account for the renewed weak
ness in stocks, beyond the general sup
position that tomorrow bank statement
will show further considerable reduc-
ton of the surplus reserves. II was very
evident early in the day that the de-
mand from the outstanding short inter-
est, who had sold precipitately IN the
break of Wednesday, had been about
satisfied. No outside demand had been
attracted and the bull pools which had
resumed operations yesterday found the
task of holding up their favcrites hard
one. They had some assistance from
London, where the market made a show
of strength, encouraged by developments
in South Africa; but the opening prices
here were about the highest. The con-
siderable gains shown by Missouri Pa
ciic. Baltimore and Ohio and National
Steel yielded TO the selling-pressure and
were wiped out, the first two stocks
taking their place amongst. the weakest
of the railroad list. Southern Railway
preferred was another sufferer. The prin-
cipal examples OF weakness, however.
were found among the specialties and in
dustrials. Sugar and Steel and Wire were
weak from the opening. American To-
bacco was under severe pressure all day
on rumors Of projected competitor and
the price shows a loss Of nearly seven
points, following yesterdays loss of 81
points Many Of the metal stocks and
the local traction stocks show losses of
from to 3 points. Net losses of a point
or upwards are frequent in the railroad
list. Closing prices Of stocks were as
