there were further reports of curtail-

New York, May 16.-With the pro-
fessional element openly bearish, they
are gathering increased courage in
their ability to further depress prices,
and in consequence today's market for
stocks was active and excited, and de-
clines exceeding a point or more were
scored in all the active issues. Wheat
has been strong all day under active
covering by shorts commission houses
were free buyers. The strength was
greatest in the old crop option. Has
been strong, but trading was light, and
most of the buying was short cover
ing. The continued cold weather is
creating uneasinesS, as in the present
condition of the crop only the most
favorable weather from now on Will
be sufficient to cause an average yield
and it can easily be neatly reduced by
continuation of the present abnor-
mally cold spring. Liverpool cables
reported sales of 5000 spots at II
points advance with futures from 3
to 5 points higher. In the local mar
ket. prices ruled strong on good buying
mostly for Southern account which
was stimulated by reports of continued
cold weather and too much ram,
Weather conditions from now on Will

Futures opened steady and points
lower to 1 1 higher. The action OF the
Liverpool market in sending both
spots and futures up for wide adj
vanees was the chief feature of the
day. Private cables gave many rea-
sons for the advance but the one most
generally given was the rumored re-
sumption of activity on the part OF
the New Orleans bull clique. Tho
leading bulls were at the ring today
and there was some nervousness
among shorts who covered freely. This
was FASTENED by strenuous bidding on
the part of the bulls. For q short
time after the opening they attacked

sent July UP to 1906, which was 20
