The weather was even colder and wind
ier than for the qualifying round. and
most of the play proved farcical. John
Montgomery Ward, once an idol in base

after an uphill fight to Legg, down and

be recalled. There were six all told. five
Of which Legg laid. One Of them Ward
escaped, holding out with his mashie.
His other spectacular spot was in getting
down a putt Of twenty-five feet on the
thirteenth. Ward lost the first three
holes in succession. and then came a nip
and tuck tussle. the match being squared
in the fourteenth. Legg, by playing the
bye hole. equaled the bogey of SO.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO, May 22-Wheat for May de-
livery continued its upward flight. the
price today touching 1.31ss, a gain Of &c
compared with the previous best marx,
recorded during yesterdays trading.
There was little trade. however, in that
option. a moderate demand by shorts
causing the upturn. The market in gen.
eral was weak. owing to liberal ship
ments this week from Russia. and be-
cause of favorable weather conditions in
this country for the new crop. The mar
ket opened weak with prices &c higher
to Aa7sc lower, and during the early
part Of the day failed to show any recu-
perative power. July. which opened at
116A to 116,z, sold at LIES but quickly
dropped back again to 1.16l4.
July corn opened a shade to lsahc low
er at 6s!s to 60. sold off to 6ss4a6sb and
rallied to 69a691s.
Oats advanced to new high-record
marks, the May delivery selling at 611s
and the July at 53. Covering by shorts
caused the fresh advance. Prices at the
start were shade higher to u lower,
with July at 53A to 53as.
Provisions opened unchanged to DC
lower.
The market was extremely nervous the
last half Of the session. On renewed buy
ing by shorts the May delivery was forced
up to 1.3.s.. July advanced to 1.17A.
The close was firm, with July up ssaA at
1.11ssal.171a May was y higher, at 1.321s.
The strength of wheat had a bullish ef-

LONDON MARKET IS HEAVY
Rumor of Increased Dividend on

of So-Called Hill Stock.

NEW YORK. May 22.-The dealings
in the stock market this morning were
in somewhat reduced volume in COM
parison with the average scale of ac-
tivity which has been maintained dur
ing the week. but the trading preserved
a firm undertone and fair distribution
of interest was exhibited.
The London stock market was some
what heavy. but American shares were
steady there. and the rather small op-
erations in the local market for for
eign account showed an excess of pur-
chase.
There was little in the mornings
situation calculated to invite specu-
lative ventures I'm either direction. The
usual weekly reports Of the mercan-
tile agencies upon the state of the
country's trade We're, broadly speaking,
encouraging. although irreguarity in
business condition was reported and
was blamed upon the slow progress of
the revision of the tariff.
Little interest appeared to be taken
In the outlook for the weekly bank

casts of that document suggested that
rather negative exhibit could be reck-
oned upon.
