WHEAT is NERVOUS
AND TRADE LIMITED
Operators Hesitate to Buy After
the Bull Movement of
Monday.

The following grain and stock letters
were yesterday wired to st. Paul brokers
by their New York and Chicago CORE
spOndents:
NJ Doran & Co.'S Chicago grain letter
says:
Wheat-Wheat was rather a nervous
market with a limited trade. Operators
hesitated about taking a decided stand
in view of the forthcoming government
report They also had in mind the ira
d1tiOnal break on the day following a bull
ish report. Western primary receipts
were but III, 900 bu, while shipments
footed up to 604,0 900 blu. There was a ru-
NOR late in the session that the Michi-
gan state report was 81, compared with
I9 last month. Northwestern markets
We're relatively strong all day. The
weather was favorable in every respect
and the government and Illinois weekly
bulletins were beariSh.
-~GOrn-It was hard to maintain Mon
days closing strength. Fluctuations ran
along with wheat as rule and trade was
small There were bull helps in the way
or small receipts compared with a year
ago and relative strength in Kansas City
ana st. Louis markets. The weather is
suitable for blowing and planting, and
the government and Illinois weekly bull
Ietins We're construed as bearish. The
cash market was steady with Armour e
Co. the chief buyers. Liverpool reported
a better demand, and the futures closed
72c higher
Oats - The oat market dragged but
showed some firmness on the break Re
CelptS were light. The demand on the
whole is, good, especially from the South
me cash market was strong and firm.
The weather was favorable for the grow
ing crop.
O'Connor & Van Bergen's stock letter
says:
The evident confidence displayed in
London, especially as to the better class
of our dividend-paying securities, is COM
mencing to make itself felt here. Stocks
do not come out in any appreciate guam
tity on market declines, and as we have
several times recently observed, prices
have distinctly tendency to harden,
which leads us to believe a rise in prices
could be much easier manipulated than
decline. There We're no particular news
developments during the day. 1t is a
cause for rejoicing to know that the much
talked of Panama canal payment is prac-
tically eliminated from the situation The
street has heard so much of it. like the
Northern Securities matter all are glad
1t is over. and done with This only clears
the ground for perhaps more important
factors the most immediate being the
government report to be published today
A very poor showing has been everywhere
expected and discounted

Ing Is Largely Finished

ing Is Largely Finished.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 1O.-The
weather bureaus weekly summary of crop
conditions says:
The temperature conditions for the
week ending May 8 were favorable in ali
districts with the exception of the North
Pacific coast and Middle Rocky mountain
region, where frosts and freezing tenn
peratures were injurious. Heavy rains in
portions Of the lower Missouri and Red
River of the North valleys and In Texas
retarded work and caused damage by
washing land. The states Of the Ohio
valley and lake region experienced a week
OF highly favorable conditions. Corn plant
ing Is now in operation under very favor
able conditions throughout the northern
portion of the corn belt. In Iowa this
work has made good progress, and it is
likely that the bulk of the crop in that
state will be planted earlier than in re-
cent years.
A general improvement in the condition
OF winter wheat is Indicated, but the out
LOOK for this crop in the states of the
ONO valley continues very poor
Spring wheat seeding is largely finished
except on wet lands in the northern nor
tons OF North Dakota and Minnesota. The
early sown over the southern portion of
the spring wheat region is making good
growth. On the North Pacific coast the
week has been too cool for rapid advance
ment.

Special Activity of Usually Dormant
Stock is All That Prevents a Record
Dull Day-No Immediate RuffIe Due to
Canal Transaction.

NEW. YORK, May 10.-Only the special
activity of such usually dormant stock as
Consolidated Gas saved today's stock mar
ket from the smallest aggregate of trans
actions for the year. On March 10, before
the Northern Securities decision was
handed down, the total sales for the day
fell to 74,400 shares. The assumption
then was that the uncertain status of
large mass of securities by reason of that
suit was the cause Of the lethargic. mar
ket and hopes were entertained that it's
decision would release the market from
restraint.
The same delusive hope has been en-
terta1ned regarding successive factors sup
posed to hold speculation in check. But
the solution of each succeeding difficulty
leaves things in the same rut The last
cause to be removed is the completion of
the Panama canal payment, which is now
practically achieved, although the call Of
10 per cent of government deposits in
banks, which fell due today and the fur
ther call of 10 per cent for June 1 are re-
Suit1ng opera lions from the Panama pay
ment and remain to be reckoned. 1t is
quite evident, however, that these trans
actions Will not cause any immediate ruff
f1e in the money situation. 1t is quite
possible that the ultimate results to the
money market when the autumn demands
upon it develop, may be held in mind as
dlSpoSlng causes to the dullneSs. The
conviction Is growing, however, that the
cause of the stagnation in the stock mar
ket is deeper lying than any temporary
factor and has to do with the gradual
traction in business and industry in all
directions
