considerable here. Fine rains over the entire
winter and spring wheat country materially inn
proved the crop outlook and led to u somewhat
decided change in sentiment. The close was
steady, but at n decline of q 6sc. Corn and
oats finished 1sc lower 10 1sc higher. Provisions
lost PIC to I15c.
The wheat market took on g heavy tone from
tnc start The close was at almost the lowest
points or the day. Evident weakness OF the
northwestern and southwestern markets had
siderable influence. 1t was asserted that the
rains had come at p particularly opportune time
10 Hi the maturing winter wheat in southern
areas. subject of comment was that south
western receipts today were more than three
times as large a year ago and that St. Louis
prices FOR cars OF No. . red were &c lower than
last week
Furthermore northwestern receipts were in
creaslng and worlds shipments were large Near
receiTed that the carrrover there to the next
crop would be the largest ever known. Talk was
current of additional possible purchases of wheat
at Duiuth to come to Chicago According to one
authority the rainfall In Kansas improved the
prospect In that state by 10000 coo bushels.
More ram WAS predicted for tonight. September
wheat here sold between Sl.01A and $I.0I$t,
closing &c down at S10lH.
Offerings scant in the corn Dit and in
consequence prices maintained better level rel
ativeiy than wheat September sold from 631s &C

No. yellow closed at 631ac.
Oats were little higher early, but eased back.
september had short range and slightly up

Provisions eased on because of the weaker
market for hogs. Pork in the end was 50T1a

|ON CROP REPORTS

NEW YORK, May 16.-The pro-
fessional operators in stocks res
cued the market today from idle
ness by only a narrow margin.
The only news on Reading was
the revival of the reports of an
intended change in the form of
capitalization. These reports
hinge on the authority for ex-
change of the second preferred
stock into half first preferred and
half common stock, develop
ment which would simply serve
at the present time to extend to
half the second preferred stock
the privilege of sharing with the
common stock in dividends in
the preferred stocks are now en-
titled.
Prices rose to the best of the
day after announcement that there
was no decision in the corpora
tion tax case, and that the Amer
lean tobacco and Standard oil
cases had been held for hearing
in November. The approach of
new trading in London acted un-
favorably on Canadian Pacific.
which relapsed sharply in spite of
continued rumors of an intended
increase in the dividend. The
declaration Of a dividend on Wis
consin Central preferred, a sub
sidiary company, equally failed to
hold Canadian Pacific. The heavy
tone of Chesapeake and Ohio was
due to the receivership for the
Hooking Valley in the suit to
prevent its sale to the Chesapeake
and Ohio
The failure OF a Philadelphia
city bond Offering, in view of the
per cent interest rate, did not
surprise New York bankers, other
similar bonds being quoted on an
income basis of less than 4 per
cent. Withholding of details of
the ST. Paul bond sales in Paris
kept up some feeling of suspense
in regard to that transaction.
Crop advices were mixed as be-
tween the benefits of rains and
fears of another drop in tempera-
ture in the northwest.
Iron and steel advices seemed
TO have an equally confusing effect
on speculation. Increased demand
for some finished products con-
trasted with the failure of con-
tracted output of pig iron to
steady the price as yet.
Bonds were irregular. Total
sales, par value 81, 457 900
United States IS declined u per
cent in the bid price on call.
