CHICAGO GRAIN AND pRovIsIoNs.

CHICAGO, May 5.-sensational darnare reports from winter wheat States caussd heavy buying of wheat to-day. the result being decidedly strong market. At the finish July wheat showed net gsin of z e zc. Corn is up xc, oats unchanged and provisions unchanged to 7hc higher.
 In spite of continued favorable weather in the southwest . bullish feeling per
 vaded the wheat market at the opening. Initial sales, however, were made at trifis
 lower prices than yesterdays close. July
 Early sentiment was largely dominated by the Illinois crop report, which was quite builish. With favorable weather until har- vest, according to this report. the crop can not make more than three-quarters of an average yield per acre. Under the in fluence of these figures there was an ac- iy good buyers of May. Toward the mid- die of the session bull operators received fresh inspiration from e report of an expert who claimed that the wheat crop of eight States east of the Rocky mountains would be decreased 60,0o0000 bushels from that of a year ago. There was also very bull condition of crop in that section. Heavy and influential buying of July continued throughout the greater part of the session and late in the day there % was considerable the market closed strong. July closed At s5% after touching s5h a ss%. Clearances equaied es.soo bushels. Primary receipts were 155.200 bushels. against 155,200 . year ago Minneapolis Duluth and Chicago re- ported no cars. against "a last week ana 123 year ago.
 An improved cash demand and continued small receipts were responsible for firm early tone in corn. On the strength in wheat shorts became active buyers of May; there was also good scattered demand for the more distant futures. Offerings were light until late. During the last half hour many of the early buyers turned sell CTS and a reaction occurred. A firm tone prevailed at the close. July opened . shade lower to a shade higher at 4sh @4sA. sold between 4sk and 4s& @4sH and closed at 4sM @4s%. Receipts. 212 cars. 27 contract grade.

New York May k-The sluggishness and narrowness of the stock market was sven more notable today than on previ- gus days this week. The movement of
 Psices was So slight as to offer little yIeferred was somewhat relieved from Sne pressure to which 1t had been recent snn5ected and Pennsylvania was rather freely sold with the dividend off This r,ock rca neid hrm yesterday in face of the poor showing of earnings, presumably on account of the desire of holders to collect the cash dividends and from the unwill- Ingness of bears to remain short of the stock over the dividend period. since they There was only such buying of stocks as seemed necessary to prevent the sagging tendency which is normal to a stagnant market. The news of the day had little enect either way Such developments as tn0e were offered nothing to stimulate sny revival of speculation. Some atten- ton was paid to the reported hitch in the plan for payment of the Panama Canal, put the matter was regarded as concern iiar ,ng the rl parties to the the contract in auss
 general money situation. The winding up of the United States Steel stock con- version syndicate involves additional calls upon the money market to meet the as- bonds that may offer. neither of which incidents Is capable of an Interpretation in favor of the market. The news from London of the Notation of a Japanese loan 10 @5c, ,000.0 900 of which New York is ex- pected to take half. was accepted as another evidence of real abundance of capital resources here and the money market was quite unaffected by these prospective claims upon 1t. The inti- nation that the proceeds loan are to be left on deposit here with a view to their ultimate expenditure in our markets was modifying factor in the news of the ble to the crops, but the Illinois State report on poor winter wheat was of more influence as was the case with the Mis- souri State report yesterday. The firmer tone of United States Steel preferred was helped by reports of the purchase of steel rails by some of the railroads, but the stock gave way slight after the announcement that the Shelby Iron Com pany would defer dividends. Fresh cut ting of rates by some of the western railroads threatened a renewal of the rate war in that region and had a dis turbing effect The advance in refined sugar was taken as explanatory of yes terday's strength In Sugar and it was not followed up today. Railroads re- porting weekly gross earnings showed week in April. Prices receded late in the day under offerings by tired hold CTS. but the decline did not proceed far.

 NEW ORLEANS, May 5.--As Liverpool was not encouraging our market opened s lower on, old crop and unchanged to higher on the new. Notwithstanding wealth CT conditions were favorable throughout the South. 1t was apparent that those short of the near months were anxious to cover. fearing manipulation. This, and better if- quiry for spots, caused an advance of 32 to 35 from the bottom on old crop months, and 12 to IT on the new, making the net gain 2S points on the near options and 10 to 12 on the late.
 The impression generally prevails that the summer months in. the local market will be manipulated. The light movement, an improved demand for spots. and the fear that artificial means may be resorted to at any moment to enhance values, have been instrumental in restricting outside specula- tion
 Considering the strength of the statistical position, and the uncertainty to the out turn of the next crop. it Is foolhardy for any one to sell the summer months short speculatively.
 The heavy discounts in the new crop months do not make 1t attractive to sell these positions, because any decided set back would be the signal for a sharp ad- vance.
 Under these conditions conservative oper- ators, and trade generally, believe 1t Is best to even up trades and await future de- velopments. Marring manipulation, the &C., tion of spinners will continue to govern old crop options, and weather conditions will regulate the course of the new

0. E. PIERCE & CO.'S COTTON LETTER.

Nby frlVate WTe from Gilbert & Clay.)
 NEW ORLEANS. May 5.-Liverpool was apparently in no mood to follow the dic- tates of pessimism, and only a trifling re- cession was noted in the value of deliver les. while spote held to yesterdays quota tions amidst sales of 5000 bales, thus help ing to confirm reports of improved business In Manchester Trading here was charac- terized by short covering which evidently derived its incentive from the diminished quantity of offerings and fear that the moderate demand occasioned by unsatisfac- tory progress of the crop would suddenly turn the tide. This apprehension was not misguided as moderate orders to buy en- countered scarcity of sellers and a sharp rise in prices was established before exccu- tions were practicable.
 Tn favor of the market Is the light move ment, strong statistical position and dis appointed hopes of an early movement of the new crop Against 1t is the dullness of dry goods, due to a fear of merchants to stock up with what they fear to be high priced goods and consequent inability of spinners to dispose of goods satisfactorily. With the new crop encounte~ing serious in terruptions. however. there is no telling but the views of dry goods people may underEo change for the better and that is the sole prices.

VIRGIN & FAUNCE's C0TGON LETTER.
 lover Private Leased WireN

NEW YORK, May 5.--The cotton future market to-day was rather irregular, but there was firmer tendency and shorts ex- pressed considerable nervousness. There was talk that the bear clique was seeking to get under cover. but there was no ini- portant material evidences in this connec- ton. Still the July option at times dis played great strength and there was req son to believe that an unusual buying power was being felt. The condit ons hinged largely upon the weather map The latter was rather less favorable than here tofore. while the private reports from va- rious sections of the belt were quite bullish, The condition of the crop fin the Southwest was regarded to be less favorable on an average than generally supposed. The gem eral movement was small, and hence there were combinations of the talk indicating continued bullish statistics for the balance of the season There was a good demand for spot cotton. and the buying was more general Heretofore buyers of spot cotton have been after only certain grades The foreign advices generally met expectations and there were no distinct features to speak of in this connection. Liverpool interests
 however. bought cotton on a moderate scale as the day wore on. and the demand from this source helped the market. On the bet ter levels there was moderate selling by longs of recent creation. The latter seemed inclined to scalp the market. The esti- mated port recipts for the day were LOGO. against e.5s0 for the same day last year.
