CHICAGO GRAIN.

CHICAGO, May 14.-Excellent rains in
northern Texas and Oklahoma today re-
freshed the ripening wheat in that Sec
ton and incidentally helped revive the
dropping courage Of the bears in the Chi
cago wheat pit. Showers promised for
the west tonight and warmer weather
northwest had a somewhat similar effect
here. Nevertheless, 1t was largely a wait
ing game for the spectators today. The
close for active options was AaN off
from last nights figures. May delivery
finished 1c down. Corn ended u to 70
lower and oats u to Mas. Provisions
made q net advance of 1Oc to 2Oc.
The covering by shorts in wheat yes
terday was SO heavy and general as to
leave the market with little support early.
but after a while the leading longs and
some of their followers bought more or
less on the weak spots. Bulls had as
backing further crop damage reports
from Kansas and Illinois. Cash demand
was also said to be improving here On
the other hand, the deliveries at country
stations in the northwest were reported
to be increasing and now about double
those OF a year ago. Indications. too.
were for larger receipts of wheat I'M the
southwest next week. Some interest was
manifested In a dispatch from Kansas
City suggesting that as result of rain
in western Kansas q sixty-million- bushel
crop Is not improbable. kilograms from
Nebraska asserted that the condition Of
wheat In that state improves as one goes
westward. Toward the end of the ses-
sion Winnipeg sent news of export sales
OIL wheat there today. September here
sold between 1.O1H and LOIS, and closed
steady 20 down, at 1.O2.
With the weather said to be warming
up in the corn country, prices for that
gr ain were inclined to sag. The close
was steady on talk of frost tonight at
low places in Illinois and Indiana. Sep
tember finished Y lower, at 63NaB39s.
No. yellow closed at 63Aa64, with the
market slow.
Oa.s were weak most Of the day. but
rallied on purchases credited to the lead
ing longs in wheat, who took Septem-
ber mainly. That option finished with
n net gain, at 49k.
Because OF fair miscellaneous de-
mand, partly from shorts, provisions
were firmer. Pork closed 15a171 to 20
higher, and lard and ribs 10 to 12h.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE market

changed prices TO an advance Of one

irregularity as the result Of small
orders in a narrow market. The close
was quiet, net unchanged to one point

Close observers of the market have for
several days been inclined to the opinion
that an accumulation of the Reading
common and Reading second preferred
stocks was in progress. and this view
was corroborated today by an exhibit
ton of pronounced strength in all the
Reading shares.
>Cotton prices reacted sharply after the
advance of yesterday and the day be-
fore, and the wheat market was weak

weather and rainfall in the spring wheat

While the takings of our bonds by
foreigners has been the one great finan-
ctal event OF the recent past, and its
sustaining influence must long be pow

the two really notable occurrences of the

by consumers stimulated by the low
prices to which the metal has lately
fallen. Although large area of winter
