THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Wheat and Corn Weak. with Oats
EnirIN steady.

CHICAGO May 3.-Under the influence
of weak corn market and the easy tone
to Liverpool cables, wheat sold Off about
lie today. While the local sentiment
has changed to a bullish one there was 4
disposition on the part of buyers OF the
last few days to reduce their lines. Out
side trade was very light. Clearances
we're about 100000 bushels. Cash sales
here were about 200 0O0.
Corn prices tonight were a cent under
last night, with the selling Of futures to-
day led by prominent local professionals.
There has been a poor shipping demand
here for several days. The incident was
a break Of l to 1 Id In the Liverpool.
Receipts were 22O cars. with 29O for to-
l..orrow. Cash interests generally re
ported freer country offerings.
Oats held fairly well considering the
corn weakness. There has been a de-
cided improvement in the shipping de-
msnd this week. The inspection was only
176 cars, with 1S5 for tomorrow. Clear
ances were 1914 600 bushels and the sea-
board reports almost 200, 600 taken for ex-
port.

The extreme dullness Of the stock mar
ket is used by the bears as an argument
why prices should go lower than they
are at present. And unfortunately there
are a few holders OF securities that &C
oept such arguments and are selling out
at a loss. The short selling Of the bears
and the scattered small liquidation Of the
public keep prices from going up for the
moment, and they may be sufficiently
strong influences for a few days TO come.
As a matter OF fact duilness and public
pessimism and selling has always been
the forerunner OF an advance in the mar
ket in the past and there is every reason
TO believe that the same conditions viii
have the same outcome at this time The
outlook is excellent for an upward move
mont in the near future. The New York
Central strike is virtually ended and an
other OF the momentary bear stories is
disposed OF. Money Is easier that at any
time before In a year. Call money can be
had at the very lowest rates. The bank
statement tomorrow Is not likely 70 be
especially good on account Of the outflow
Of gold. but the street is not willing 10
consider the export Of gold a bear argu-
ment when money Is so plentiful and
when she balance In favor OF the United
States is added TO by every dollar that
goes out. Prices OF securities are far be-
low the level OF q year ago, and yet con-
ditions now are undoubtedly better than
they were when the highest prices were
Prevailing The steel companies have
demonstrated their ability to more than
earn fun dividends on their capitals
Many new securities have been added 70
the dividend list and many dividends have
been increased. Gross earnings have in
creased from 10 to IS per cent on all the
railways over the record breaking year
1888 and in most cases net earnings also
have increased tremendously. Where the
net showing Is not so good the result is
directly traceable to the higher cost Of
material. which we are told is 10 be cut
during the coming months.

The curtains falling and the lights
burn low
So, with Gods help, I'm ready now to
go
I've seen life's mslodrama, paid the
price,
Have known its love and losses,
hopes and fears,
The laughter and the tears,
And now, God knows, would not see
II twice.
I've crossed life's ocean, faced its
binding foam,
But now heaven whispers I'm nearing
home;
And though a storm tossed hull l
reach the shore.
A thing Of tattered sheets and bro
ken spars,
Naked against the stars,
l shall soon be at peace forever more.
For II again pass these waters

Or down the dark, lmpenetrablo

Where wayworn seamen slerpP
All gates are good through which we

AS matter of fact, opinion on the bank

Ine enormous loan expansion caused
amazement. In no single week during all
