Reports
PRICES CLOSE NEAR THE HIGHEST
oats f. Up with wheat, but Corn and
Provisions Are n Triae Lower
in Price, with some
Selling.

CHICAGO, May 16.-Bullish crop reports
gave strength to the wheat market today
Of the day, July being up %a&c. July corn
was off $ulfc, but oats was 4sBrlc higher,
with September provisions from PFC to SC
lower.
Favorable weather caused an easier tone
In wheat at the start, July being unchanged
TO &c lower at 72&Q727sc, and the early
selling OF to 72Bq72%c. Reports of damage
20 the crop In the southwest were again In
evidence, and with outside markets higher
and good buying orders from st. Louis and
the northwest the market became strong.
these conditions shorts turned active buy
ers, advancing the price materially, July
selling up, to 7sssc: The selling was scat
tered and principally by scalpers with
profits. July closed with a gain OF NQ%c at
IShzg1Shc. Clearances Of wheat and hour
were equal to 9lS,OO bushels. Primary re-
ceipts were 26, 200 bushels, against 49, 900 a
year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth reported
receipts Of l4 cars. which with local re-
ceipts of So cars, 2 Of contract grade, made
total receipts for the three points of 157
cars. against IFS cars last week and liz cars
Corn ruled dull and easy, the favorable
weather being the main factor In the situa-
ton; There was rather free selling by re-
ceiytng houses against country acceptances
and the buying was scattered, but mostly
by shorts with profits. The strength in
wheat was a bull factor late In the day and
caused a steady tone at the close, July
being %@hc lower at, 449sqH%c after sell
Ing between sSoee 9sf s4s9 ana g 20 SSgdSSG; Local re-
Trading in oats was rather light, but the
market ruled firm the greater part of the
day, the bullish crop being the main stimu-
lating influence. There was a fair demand
from brokers, but offerings were light, local
traders being disposed to await some
definite Information regarding the crop
prospects. The close was steady at July u
Qkc higher at 33MG33Ac, after ranging be-
tween 3Zsc and 8hc. Local receipts were
lib cars.
Trading in provisions was dull and prices
had a downward tendenc after a steady
opening. There was some selling by out
siders on the easier corn market and on eX-
pectations of increased hog receipts. Wheat
was easier, with September pork 2hc lower
at s16. 621k. September lard was of &c at
$3.50 and ribs down &c at $9.17h.

LONDON, May 16.-Discounts were harder
today in anticipation of dearer money next
week, when the borrowings from the Bank
of England are repaid. Business on the
Stock exchange was quiet, but the tone was
fairly good. Consols were dull, owing TO
sales by investors who are transferring
cans cpened weak and suffered from
neglect, owing to public expectation OF an
u~nfavorable bank statement. Later they
hardened slightly and closed steady. Grand
Trunk was firm.
PARIS, May 16.-Prices opened firm on
the bourse today, but businc was inactive
and stocks heavy, continuing so throughout
tie rest OF the day. The private rate OF dis

make up what they lose from crop damage.
PRONlStONS-After a liberal movement
OF hogs, with considerable drop in prices,
the hog situation is steadier and prices
rallying.
Provisions followed the decline in hogs.
but improved as hog prices advanced.
The provision situation Is steady and
prices for a few days will hinge on the
hog movement. II receipts let up, pro-
visions undoubtedly will improve.
On the other hand, an increased move
ment will put provisions lower.
The cash demand, except for cured hams,
IS very slim. Europe In a general way has
been bearish, but the feeling In England Is
that provisions over there have pretty
nearly touched the bottom.

CATTLE-Receipts OF cattle have been
very heavy all this week, as will be seen
from the table above. The increase over
pared with the same week of last year the
gain amounts to about 5000 head. Consid-
ertng the big supply both here and at
other points the market has not suffered
more than could be expected.
The week started out with moderate re-
celptS OF beef steers and prices improved
fully a dime. After Tuesday, however,
receipts were very heavy and on Wednes-
about 26c on all kinds. The situation i'm
proved a little on Friday and as com
pared with the close Of last week prices

sold to the best advantage all the week,

The cow market followed very much the
same course as the steer market, except
more desirable grades of cows are not over
a dime lower than the close of last week,

a little worse than that. Texas steers are
beginning to arrive on the southern mar
kets and packers claim that they are
cheaper than the medium grades of cows
ket. Cows showing the effects of grass
are expected at any time. Gamers are
good cows from $500 to $500 and choice
from $500 to $3.50.

$500 to $500 and strictly choice largely
from $500 to $4.15.
