NEW YORK, May 27.-Today's stock
market was Of no Importance. The
sluggish downward movement was re-
traced before the end of the day.
Next weeks London stock exchange
settlement is viewed with some appre-
hension, on account of the unfavprable
position of an extensive account in
Americans.
The belief that the long expected
naval battle is near at hand had its
part in inducing a spirit of caution.
The considerable contraction of loans
disclosed by the bank statement was
something of surprise in view of the
weeks heavy transactions, including
the Japanese loan payment and sub
scription to the new American smelt-
ers' securities stocks.
1t is explained that arrangement has
been made for leaving on deposit the
S60000,000 paid in on subscriptions to
the Pennsylvania convertible bonds,
the greater part in the New York
banks and the rest in Philadelphia
banks. These deposits will be avail
able for use in the call loan market.
The proceeds of the Japanese loan
are at the disposition of the Japanese
government and the information of the
immediate use to be made of them is
withheld. Meantime the amount is still
in New York banks.
The extreme ease of money in for
egn markets offers no inducement for
the transfer of this fund abroad, and
indeed foreign funds are offering in
the New York money market.
The days changes in stocks are in
significant and the close was stagnant.
The bond market generally was ir-
regular. Total sales, par value, ST.
868000.

Wheat Lower
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 27.-The wheat mar
ket was weak from the start, initial
quotations on July being off b9ssc, at
91B@91ssc. The principal cause of the
weakness was the unusually heavy re-
cepts at Minneapolis and bearish crop
news.
An estimate on the report on Kansas
made by officials Of a certain railroad
was generally conceded to be quite
bearish and this had much influence
on the market. For July the lowest
point of the day was reached at 90hc.
The market closed practically at the
lowest point. Finally, quotations on
July were at 90b@90Ac, a loss of Ia
@1ac.
The feature of trading in the corn
pit was another decline Of 8Ac in the
price of the May delivery. The lowest
point Of the day was reached at 49%c,
the final quotation
The sensational decline was attrib-
uted wholly to the enormous receipts,
the arrivals today being SOL cars, of
which 532 cars were of contract grade.
That the bull campaign was ended
was admitted by the majority of trad
ers. 1t was said that the settlements
were made today by the foreign shorts
and that the principal shorts were now
almost entirely eliminated. Distant de-
