SLIGHT ADVANCES
IN WHEAT MARKET
Prospects in Texas Are Said
to Be Very Bad
MARKET rs ovERsoLD
Corn Weakens on Reports of Good Crop
Weather and the Close shows
Losses-Oats Close Lower.
Provisions Irregular

Chicago, May 20--Wheat prospects in
the Lone Star state heretofore so glow
Ing, were. voted in the comet class to-
day for dimness and uncertainty. In
one stretch of 95 miles there was said
to be only one field of wheat left and
that so burned up the grain would not
be cut. These reports saved the day
for the bulls. Closing prices for active
futures scored in consequence a net
gain of shade to ho. May delivery
Finished &c down. Corn showed a loss
of u q sc and oats 10 to A@&c.
Final figures for provisions were I'M
changed to n &c lower.
First publicity of the charges against
the integrity of the Texas wheat crop
came through millers' reports by way
of st. Louis and were to the effect
that as result of heavy rains and
hailstorms appreh ension of material
blooming period. From the same
source there was a general talk of thin
stands and much irregular growth. A
while later the pit was startled by in
formation from the crop expert of a
leading firm here, who, under date of
Ringgold, Tex sent word that from
there to Wichita Falls the conditions
were hopeless for wheat and that re-
ports heralded about the supplies to
come from the big state, the first of all
to harvest would not be fulfilled. The
result was a scurrying of shorts to
cover. They had oversold the mar
ket. their incentive being the ideal
weather conditions in the great part
of both the winter and spring wheat
country.
The offerings. however, had been alb
sorbed and prices not only recovered
but scored a light net gain In addi-
ton. Comment was occasioned bv the
fact that better relative gains were
made by outside markets than here.
The decline in May wheat was attrib-
uted to the chartering of 100000 bush :
els of lake freight room of wheat to
como to Chicago from Duluth in addi-
ton to a cargo from there to arrive
here tomorrow. The September option
sold between $1.0OA1.001s and $1,000
and closed steady at s1.0Oh%1.oo%.
Corn weakened on the fine weather
for the increased sales of cash corn,
particularly white from this state and
because of absence of shipping de-
mand As in wheat, shorts covered late
In the day but with less degree OF
anxiety September ranged from 81 a.
to 62c and closed MONO off at 81 u
@61 NC. Cash offerings were a little
larger and demand moderate. No. /:
yellow closed at 61A oslo.
4 weather conditions were said to b,
the best imag gin able for oats. A lat
rally was due to the influence of wheat
september kept between SSAc an,
80 1sc, closing steady at $3.50 @5SRc.
The provision pit was lifeless all day
Prices finished ~ % to TIC lower fo

With Two Markets Closed Bus
mess Is Restricted
SELLERS ARE ACTIVE
Prices Turn Downward Even in the
Light Trading But Near the Close
All Losses Are Regained on
General Buying

New York, May 20-With the cotton
exchanges at both New Orleans and
Liverpool closed for the day business
moderately active, while fluctuations
showed continued irregularity. with the
close barely steady at a net advance
of / to points.
The market opened steady at an adj
vance of 3 to points on a renewal of
yesterdays late covering movement, but
quickly weakened under near months
liquidation, which was attributed to the
circulation of May notices, estimated at
about 1900 bales, and a favorable view
of early weather reports. July contracts
sold off to 14.S5c, or IA points under the
closing figures of last night, while May
declined to 14.S7c, or points net lower
and the new crop sold at a net loss of
about to points. 1t was soon found
however, that the May notices were not
being allowed to circulate very far, but
were promptly being taken up by the
strong interests which had been accept
Ing delivery on contract during the entire
month, and the market steadied up on IL
renewal of covering and bull support. A
forecast calling for continued wet weather
and lower temperatures was considered
by many to be hardly favorable and
helped the advance. July contracts sold
at 1860 late in the day and October
at IL. S5c, a net advance of about points
The close was little off from the best
under realizing. The New Orleans mar
ket will be open tomorrow. but Liver
pool will remain closed until Monday
morning.
Southern spot markets officially report
ed early were unchanged to &c lower. 1t
is reported that 10000 bales will be shipped
from the local stock to Liverpool on Sat
urday and that freight room has been
engaged for the shipment of about 90 900
bales next week. 1t is estimated that
the bulls have received on May contracts
nearly 100000 bales.
Receipts at the ports today 1898 bales
against $3.50 last week and 1890 last year
For the week $1,000 bales. against 56,1s9

EXTREME DULLNESS
IN STOCK MARKET
Funeral of King of England
Causes Short Session
UNDERGONE rs STRONG
Weeks Currency Movement FavOrs
New York Banks--Demand Is En-
:. tireIy Lacking for Money 10
i Finance transactions

/ New York, May 20.-As a tribute of re-
spect to the memory of the King of Eng
land and during the funeral services of
that monarch the stock exchange did not
begin its Session today until noon. The
character of the market was little
changed by that or by any other mat
ter
The weeks lapse into stagnant condi-
lions and the added consideration of the
two hours total session today probably
induced some departures from the city
until Monday next. -
{ The extreme dullness of the market
was accompanied by the strong under
tone which was manifest yesterday An
influence on this side was a promise OF
strong bank return for the week to
be made tomorrow. The estimates of
the weeks currency movement indicates
that large shipments have been coming
into New York from other points and
the sub-treasury also by reason of the
monthly pension payments has made large
contributions of cash to the banks.
The gain in that item promises in con-
sequence to reach as much as So, 900, 600
The easier tendency for money rates
I by this development
Another influence is the almost total
lack of demand for stock market pur-
poses. Owing to the accumulation of
cash the banks manifest little disposition
to purchase mercantile paper, the rates
on prime grades of which range from
S AZ to 81 per cent. The rates are con-
siderably out of line with the low rates
prevailing for time loans The low money
rates also have failed to stimulate the
demand for bonds, the rate of return
on which for choice goods now reaches
we'll above the return of money.
= With the London stock market closed
and with business there practically sus-
pended by reason, Of the funeral of King
Edward, there was sufficient demand here
for remittance to send the foreign ex-
change rate upward again and to awaken
discussion of a possible. resumption of
gold exports. An incident of the day
was the revival of rumors that United
States Steel would be listed on the Paris
bourse. The expected increase in the
dividend rate on Chesapeake and Ohio
was greeted by fractional decline in
the price of that stock. The speculative
appearances in Reading and Canadian
Pacific were colored In a desultory fash
ion but neither these nor other opera
ttions were sufficient to give any activity
to the market.
The closing tone was steady with a
considerable show of activity.
! Bonds were irregular Total sales, par
value. s1,190OOO. United States bonds un-
changed on call.

hubbard Bros. q Co.'s Letter

New York. May cial.)-Liverpool
and New Orleans exchanges We're closed
today out of respect for the funeral of
King Edward, and our exchange regret
ted the impossbility under its bylaws.
Without the comparison figures and
southern prices our market has been very
dull. A sharp decline in July deliveries
following some offerings showed the fra
gile nature of that position when not sup
ported. A quick rally came with the
usual bidding on the decline. Conserva-
tive traders are awaiting the old crop de-
liveries
Heavy rains are reported in the Gulf
states and an excess is used as an argu-
ment In favor of better prices. This is
fear and a possibility only, but in the
present overstrained condition of the
market was successful in hardening prices
toward the close of the day
