MARKET NOT YET FREE FROM LIQUI-
 DAYTON.
Effective Resistance Offered to Prevailing Depression-Foreign Element an Important One in the
 Proceedings.

New York. May 1s-The stock market was subjected to still further iquidation to- day. but showed evidence of release rem the process and offered some effective re sistance to the depression.
 The early liquidation was large and quite urgent. and that for foreign account maae up important element in the markets weakness. It Is supposed that the exten- sion of sensational advertising methods fol- lowed in recent campaign against stock t foreign advertising mediums helps to ex- plain the foreign selling and some special pressure upon the market attributed to a explanation. Yesterdays violent declines had the natural effect of including calls the resulting effect of considerable orders to sell out.
 The first hour proved the most active of the day. The sharp break in the wheat market gave rise to the SUI mise that some of yesterdays alarm over the crops may have been unfounded or premature. Thus was factor in steadying the market Tor stocks. There was a disposition to rev SC yesterdays estimates of the significance of the withdrawal of t. Hartman represen- Northern Pacific. More impression was caused by the fact that 1t was already known yesterday. indeed. that the Harri- new directors. An effort was produce" by this report circulated during the scs- sion that a settlement had been reached in the Chicago teamsters grievances and the strike ended. There were evidences Of renewed weakness from time to time, but good support was encountered.
 A marked feature of the movements te- wards recovery. however. was the almost total dying out of the demand before the general level of prices had quite reeov- cred the losses. This was notably true of the United States Steel stocks. which con- tinued conspicuous centre of depression and showed poor resiliency
 There was some disposition late in the day also to discount poor bank statement for tomorrow. The taking up of Government deposits involved in a loss to the 5ub- treasury by the banks of upwards of ss.- 100000. while the offsetting gain in the interior movement is estimated at only about s2.ooO.o0o. Some large changes in the loan and deposit items are probabl,. owing to large financial transactions that have occurred during the week. The sx- treme ease of the money market today. however, precluded any serious uneasiness over the showing by the banks.
 The persistent weakness of the Unite States Steel stocks impaired the influence of the support in the rest of the market and their decline to the lowest of the day made the closing weak.
 Bonds were weak. Total sales par value, s2.S7o.0o0. United States bonds were all unchanged on call.

Do you think that I will let you or Dick have that money that I have wanted and toiled for twenty to claim? Do you know what 1t Is to commit a crime and commit it all in vain? In vain"
 Again his voice rose and he stood clenching and unclenching his hands with the gestu ot passionate self repression of the helpless prisoner who has learnt in jail the lesson of his own impotence The bitterest drop in the cup of his disappointment was the thought that he had sinned and suffered only to enrich another Remorse he had none; could old Jas par nave come to life again he would have killed him as ruthlessly as be- fore. I closed. Lny eyes with a shud- der to shut out his distorted, evil face.

 The wheat market was weak from the start Notwithstanding an advance of sser were sharply lower, July being off 1.@He to x ole at 8sM @sSHc. The cause of such radical reaction from yesterdays extreme vices regarding alleged serious damage to wheat in the Southwest. Reports today moreover not only did not confirm the Hessian flies. but some of yesterdays ad- vices were absolutely denied. The tone of telegrams in many eases was completely the crop of Oklahoma this year would ex- ceed that of last year by 5000. 900 Vushcis. and that the total yield of Kansas would els. In addition. news from the North -st was decidedly in favor of the bears he- ceipts at Minneapolis showed marked in crease, while weather in the spring wheat country was much improved. Primary r'- ceipts were large and the market for cash wheat at Kansas City was weak. Fro-a the beginning the selling was general and with only a moderate demand from shorts prices continued to decline At S6&c July each ed the "s th 49nt of the m Sag ces ances equaleJ 124.100 bushels
 Mainly in sympathy with the break in wheat the corn market was weak the en- tire session. Another factor that added to the bearishness was an increase in the movemen.l from farms. arrivals here today being considerably in excess of those esti- mated. Trading in the May option was comparatively quiet. July opened A 9 # c to Q&c lower at 4Sk 4S1c, 3old eff to 47Nc and closed at 4shc.
 Weakness of wheat and corn Sas the principal reason for the weak undcrtone .n the oats market Increased receipts also contributed to bearish sentiment. July opened # a \ O Mc lower at 29& 2 hc to soc, sold down to 29%c and closed at 2Shc.
 A decline of 5@10c in che price of live hogs had a weakening influence on the pro visions market. Trading was worry quiet. At the close July pork was off l2h o lac at S126O@l2. Lard and ribs were each down 2hQ5c at $I.s2h @:.S5 and 37. 25 respectively.

 Was Done.

New York, May 1s.-The cotton market showed decreasing activity and fluctuations much narrower.
 The opening was easy at a decline of 9@s points under liquidation and selling for short account encouraged by lower cables. rood weather in the South and private re- ports of an easier spot situation, On the decline there was considerable covering for over the weeks end but after this demand was filled. prices slipped off. reaching some stop orders around midday when there was few minutes of activity and decline to a net loss of about 9410 points on the active months.
 Later covering by earlier sellers caused 0 partial reaction in connection with a light demand from the bull leaders and. prlces by the close were steady at net loss of 496 points. Sales of futures were estimated at 15O.O0o bales.
