WHEAT ISASHADE LOWER
CORN OFF BIT IN SYMPATHY WITH
THE OTHER GRAIN.
Oats Weak, Provisions Irregular
Estimated Receipts for To-Day.

CHICAGO. May 4-Wheat opened firm-to
day on strength in the cables and higher
outside markets. but soon developed a
weaker tone and closed easy, with July
ssc lower. Corn averaged lower in SYM
pathy, July at the close being off 5saAc.
Oats were weak, with July down 5sq&c.
while provisions were irregular.
Selling by pit traders caused weakness
In wheat soon after the opening. which
was a shade lower to a shade higher for
July at 7SbQ73Ac, but there was sufficient
scattered demand by shorts and commits
sion houses to check the decline in a meas
ure. and, after selling down to 721sc, July
closed ssc lower at 721kQ725sc. The i'm
preston that Armour was selling through
brokers, although an open buyer Of July, to-
gether with numerous mo damage to crop"
reports, brought about the rush to sell.
Receipts were little larger. and weather
reports improved and these also had their
influence. Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ported receipts of s24 cars, which. with
grade, made the total receipts for the
three points of 376 cars, against 326 last
week and 3l5 year ago. Primary receipts
were 629.943 bushels. against 433, 769 bushels
year ago. Clearances of wheat and -four
were equal to 464.5N bushels.
Corn was weak and slow, with local bears
doing the buying. Lack of demand, more
than any other influence, caused the loss
In prices, although increased country Of
ferings and improved weather were bear
ish influences. and July closed ssQa4c lower
at 44ssc. after ranging between 45ssc and
441sc. Local receipts were 222 cars, with 10
of contract grade
The better weather induced selling by
local longs In oats, and as result the
market showed weakness with prices low
er. The market rather dull and the
demand small. July closed ss9&c lower at
3112G31ssc, after selling off from 323sc to
311ac. Local receipts were $50 cars.
The action of May pork unsettled pro-
visions and bothered trade. Prices in other
products were about steady and showed
an advancing tendency. Packers are cred
tied with buying pork for future delivery,
and July showed an advance Of TIC at
the close at s1715. Covering by shorts at
the start caused an advance of 25c to Toe
in May, the opening price being $3.50 to sl9.
Realizing sales later caused a decline from
the hig figure, and the close was S5c higher
at $3.50. July lard was 5G712c lower at
S9.171a, while ribs were off 21ac at So 42h.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat,
65 cars; corn, 800; oats, 225; hogs, 1900

Meyer & Kiser's Telegram.1
NEW YORK, May 4.-The markets tone
was better and more general strength
shown than has been witnessed in some
time. The advance Of 6ik points In Della
ware and Hudson in the early morning ses-
sion reflected favorably in the other an
thracite shares and was accompanied by
rumors of increased dividend which were
unfounded, but the advance is accounted
for by the knowing ones as due to the buy
ing by investment interests on the mag
nificent showing for the fiscal year. A
new director will be elected at the annual
meeting and Mr.. Harriman's name was
mentioned as the one to fill the vacancy.
The Erie issues followed next and Dela-
ware & Hudson were very active and
showed exceptional strength. The first
and second preferred were well bought. the
full per cent. dividend-is expected on the
first preferred on July first. The Gould
Pacific, and in the afternoon session Texas
Pacific followed the Missouri Pacific S
lead, the buying in both being excellent.
Reports from the West regarding the
crops were particularly encouraging. No
damage OF any serious nature was sus-
tanned I'm the recent cold snap. The earn
ings reported for the third week of April
and for the month of March in a number
of the railways continued to show gratify
ing results. In the last hour the market
became very active on the continued pur-
chaSes of Pennsylvania and all the anthra-
cite issues and closed at the best prices ef
the day. This is the first Monday we have
had In months where the stock market has
not only maintained its opening prices but
advanced and held the advance We be-
lieve that this foreshadows the commence
men of a bull campaign and look for bet
ter prices.
