Uncertain, Wavering Tone of

at Higher Level.

NEW YORK. May 6.-The professional

The general list, including the stocks OF
the more substantial class, was also more
responsive 10 the rise In specialties and
opinion In the board was that real
izing sales were going on in those stocks,
in continuation OF the movement ycster-
day.
The bulk of business was done at the
level of prices above last night, never
theless. These advances were not marked
at any time and there was a constant
wavering p the price level. which re-
flected the uncertain tone of the specu-
lation. The sharp rise In miscellane-
Gus lot OF low-priced stocks. most of
them nondividepd payers, was uneN-

had It's inception in the group OF metal
industrials, including various companies

the railroad equipment companies and
the copper. lead and smelling stocks The
asking price OF copper was advanced,
and some large sales OF refined copper
wero reported made in the last few days.
The forthcoming. report of the coppeI,

FINE DAY. FOR BULLS
IN WHEAT MARKET
In Spite of Much PrOfit-Taking,
Prices Maintain High Level,
Due to Weather News.

CHICAGO. May 6.-The wheat market
was strong all day and the volume or
trade was large Excitement prevailed at
the start owing to the anxiety OF many

best prices were rccorded carry IN @ lIic
at times which resulted in material set
backs, but each reaction prompted more
vigorous buying and consequent quick
rally. The drouth situation in Kansas S
was the chief reason for the strength;
although an expected advance of ,9msd
had considerable effect. No rain mad
been reported in Kansas since the pre-
vious session. and the official forecast
was for continued dry weather. for To-
night and Friday. There was almost no
demand for cash wheat here, and num-
tic inquiry for the cash grain May de-
livery again touched s1.29l, the high
mark for the season. while July sold be-
tween S1.I61 and s117E. The market
closed strong. with July at Sl.1I@l.1ia
and May ut sl-eS9.
and July to roc, which arc new high
marks for the crop. There was good
demand which was based largely on
small receipts. The range for the GAy

on July between 69ac and zoe. The mar
compared with yesterdays final figures.

James A. Pollock &; Co., bankers and
brokers' furnish the following, received
over their private wire yesterday after
noon:
Logan & Bryan Cotton Letter, New
Yurk-There are portions Of Texas where
rain now is entirely too late and cotton
planting abandoned for this year, and the
great deficiency in winter precipitation
leaves no room for doubt but that Texas
would fail TO equal her last years crop,
aud there is the strong suggestion that
a wet map might make that state show
tive OF rains and the good or the harm
that can come therefrom. the frosts pre-
dictcd for tomorrow can do the western
crop no good. and there is every market
indication that the premium on near
months win continue 10 demonstra the
intrinsic value OF the commodity: Any
nisllap TO the crop that would be be
/ lieved by the rank and tile would carry
( the market to the ll-cenr level quickly.
