TIE FOREIGN MARKETS.

LONDON. May 26.-Business or, the stock
exchange was duh and unsatisfactory dur
ing the week, and the slight movements
left the quotations generally lower. De-
spite the fact that the trade conditions are
good and that the bank reserve was being
strengthened by the steady influx of gold
the public held aloof and the professionals
appeared to be disheartened and allowed
prices to slip away. The undertone how
ever. kept steady and the declines were not
serious anywhere. Several reasons were
given for the apathy. the most likely being
tight money and the many new issues com
ing out.
Americans early In the week were dull
put an improvement started Thursday, and
they appeared almost brilliant on Friday, in
strong contrast with the stuggishness of the
rest of the market. Coal lines were most
favored. but the improvement extended to
the rest OF the list The settled conditions
IN San Francisco and the fact that money
was returning from there to New. York
more than offset the early unfavorabIe con-
dit1ofls. Today the tone was not bright
owing to some selling here, but the final
quotations were steady at one or two dol
lars above last Saturdays prices.
Foreigners were lifeless in sympathy with
Paris. and Kaffirs remained stagnant
The supplies of money were not abundant.
ana II was thought that an ease would not
appear until the Bank of Eng,and's reserve
was stronger and the month-end require
ments had been settled. The amount OF
gold coming into the Bank Of England was
satisfactory, but 1t was expected that COM
petition will arise for next weeks export OF
gold from the Transvaal, possibly on Ameri-
can account.
Supplies OF money were not plentiful to-
day and there was a good demand. Dis
counts were a shade easier.
Trading on the stock exchange opened
quiet and hesitating and then became dull.
Quotations eased. the nearness of the set
Element checking business.

THE GRAIN MARKETS.

CHICAGO. May 26-Excessive rains In
the northwest and reports of prooaote
heavy frost in that district caused strength
TODAY in the local wheat market, the July
option closing at net gain OF hass. corn
was I'D n. Oats were up y. Provisions were
a shade higher to sc lower.
Trading In the wheat pit was not active,
but the tone of the market was strong all
day. A slight reaction took place immedi-
ately following the opening because OF sell
ing by pit traders who were Influenced by
lower cables and additional rain in the
southwest. The depression banished 1mme-
diately when several leading commission
houses commenced to buy wheat. The up
turn was the result of the report OF the
weather bureau which announced general
rains throughout the spring wheat territory.
Many of these advices were to the effect
that serious damage would probably result
as the wheat fields of Minnesota are mum
dated Late in the day the market was fur
ther strengt hened by report from Mime
apols which said that there was likelihood
Of heavy frost tonight In Minnesota and
the Dakotas. The market closed strong
July opened - higher at S3A, sold on TO
S25saS3 and advanced to S3as. The close was
at S3ssa Ssk. Clearances OF wheat and -four
were equal TO $4,000 bushels. Primary re-
ceipts were 100000 bushels. against 42S.0o0
bushels for the corresponding day year
ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago re-
ported receipts OF l59 cars, against 164 cars
last week and 329 cars one year ago.
Despite liberal local receipts the corn
market was strong all day on a good de-
mand by commission houses and cash buy
ers. Aside from this buying the strength
of wheat was the chief bullish influence.
The market closed strong with prices close
to the highest point of the day. July opened
h to u higher, at 47M to 41Ss, advanced TO
47sa41&. and closed at 475s. Local receipts
were 549 cars. with 1893 of contract grade.
Oats were strong all day on a good de-
mand by cash houses and numerous reports
of damage by drought The market was
also influenced by the strength of other
tembers delivery. July opened 1saA higher,
at 33l4 a33as, sold up TO 33% and closed at
1874. Local receipts were 1877 cars. -
The provisions market was inclined to be
weak because of &c to l0c decline in the
price OF live hogs. There was some lquida-
ton by small holders and "a moderate
amount OF selling by local packers. Trading
was of small volume. At the close July
pork was OF &c, at 16 20. Lard was a shade

The French people are thrifty and they keep
on piiing up savings and prof1ts at an
amazing rate. They have more money TO
Invest than Great Britain even. and 1t has
always been the ambition of American
fnanciers to get where they could dip into
that pot. Tie French have always been
suspicious OF American securities, however.

In spite OF these circumstances this strain
upon the market was taken in good form.

character anticipated 1t may expected that
the future course will be calm. What,
however. the average broker wants Is ac-
tivity, not calm. Plenty Of buyers and q

HEARD ON 'CHANGE

The event OF the week In local stock cir
cles was. of course. the bill reported some
what unexpectedly from the Senate District
committee increasing materially the taxes
to be paid by public utility corporations.
The day following the announcement there
was naturally a scaling off from the current
figures on street railway securities, gas and
telephone stock, all of which came within
the classes referred to in the measure re-
ported from the committee
There was, however. no general selling,
as might haze been anticipated, and in con-
sequence there was but very little of what
might be termed cheap stock that came on
the market. AT no time was the dealing
panicky or even suggestive OF 1t, although
the terms OF the bill were such as to ma
terially Increase the present drain upon-the
earning capacities of all the corporations.
The current talk was not altogether re
assuring as to the future outlook and so
there seemed to be favorable conditions for
a raid upon the securities. which are the
most active In the market and which are
largely held here. Nothing OF the sort
happened. although two days passed before
the Senate decided to recall the bill and re-
fer II back to the committee. When that
was done, then the general conclusion was
reached that this was the end of the mat.
ter for this session at any rate since
then the course of the market has been
Upward and the decline has been practically
recovered.
This experience furnishes additional evi-
dence or what Is pretty well understood
here-that these securities are strongly held
and to large extent are In the hands of
investors. In fact the amount of floating
stock In the case OF the Capital Traction
Company, the Gas Company and the Tele-
phone Company Is not at any time large
30 that the range of the market Is In these
instances somewhat limited.
The situation in regard to the Washing
ton Railway Company's securities is some-
what different. as 1t Is only within COM
paratively recent days that they have come
to be a local security In the technical sense
of that word. During the past year, how
ever, large blocks. both of the preferred
and the common stock, and also the bonds
have been taken by local investors and so
today II Is the opinion of competent OBJ
servers that majority OF both issues Is
held right here.
1t Is also true that a good proportion OF
the securities are still In the hands OF what
