GRAIN PRICES ARE FIRM
WHEAT ADDS A QUARTER OF A
CENT TO JULY QUOTATION.
Corn and Oats show Good Fractional
Gafns-PrOvisions Are Weak and
Register Small Declines.

CHICAGO, May 2s.-wheat ruled firm
after a small decline early, and the close
was steady nc over yesterday. Corn was
strong with a gain of lsQAc. Oats gained
hc and only provisions showed weakness,
final figures showing loss Of 8 TO 1sisc.
Wheat was a trife easier at the start.
due chiefly to the fact that the May deal
is reported as liquidated and that about
100000 blu were delivered yesterday. There
was considerable early selling of July,
which opened hGasc lower. at 7Slsq!Sssc.
and declined to 732sG7311c. The decline was
checked by Armour buying and an advance
to 74lsc followed. The close was steacy,
although late liquidation caused some OF
the advance to be lost. at 1850 St Louis
was a fair buyer and helped the late
strength. Foreign advices were more favor
able and cables about steady. Clearances
of wheat and flour were equal TO 359,s1 bu;
primary receipts were 3l9,6S2 bu, against
254.052 a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth
reported receipts of AS cars, which, with
local receipts of 34-one of contract grade
made total of 232 cars, against los last
week and 126 year ago.
Free covering by shorts and general good
buying with little on the market, caused
strength in corn. The principal influences
were smaller country offerings and pros
poets of a freight handlers strike, which
will seriously interfere with the move
ment. The market showed the influence or
wheat late in the session, but the close was
steady with July up 1s@Ac. at 45Aq45ss,
after ranging between 40 and 45l2c. The
cables showed strength and cash demand
was good. Receipts were 4S2 cars, 50 or
contract grade.
Covering by shorts and the strength In
other grains caused an advance In oats.
There was some selling by traders early,
but they turned buyers later and the senti-
ment was bullish throughout the session.
Cash trade was fair. Receipts were 2S0 cars.
Pit traders were leading sellers of provi-
sions and there was insufficient support to
check declining tendency. A few shorts
bought May pork and the strength in corn
was a little help, but closing prices showed
July pork down &c, at sl675; lard 171zc
lower, at $3.50 and ribs off 12lzc, at S92211.
Leading futures ranged as follows:

marketing of sheep and lambs has commenced to
show some increase. the total thus far this week
being about $50 larger than the time last
week and the corresponding time year ago.
The receipts to-day were 200 larger than a week
ago and 300 larger than a year ago. For the
first time recently the supply was large enough
more than enough to accommodate local butch
ers. advantage of the supply was taken and
buyers required considerable in prices.
Statesmen were very reluctant in accepting bids.

sales that did not show the full decline, and in
isolated cases prices We're possibly nearly steady.

practically the top for spring lambs. $50 for
yearlings and S. so for sheep. Ordinary spring
lambs sold as low as IS and sheep as low as

NEW YORK, May 26.-Opening prices
were at surprising rallies from last nights
close. The tone Of the London market
showed that there was still hope left for
values, and that London was not at all ap-
prehensive of the hysterical weakness in
this market yesterday. The room traders
turned bulls when the position Of London
was seen, and bid up st. Paul and Missouri
Pacific. The oversubscription to the Penn
sylvania underwriting was reflected in a
better tone in the stock The Chicago &
Alton report for the month of April shows
a gross increase of $4,000 and net of $SS 900.
Atchison's report for April shows an in
crease in net of $91, 0O0 L. & N, for the
third week in May, shows a gross increase
of $4,000 Sugar acted well on purchases
for lower Wall-street account on the salts
factory trade outlook. London traded in
about 10000 shares, of which about 10000
were purchases. The market during the
latter part Of the day became quiet and
followed closely the fluctuations in ST. Paul,
which were alternately firm and weak. The
market closed firm at the best prices OF the
