THE CHICAGO MARKET.

CHICAGO, May 1s.-Dry weather to-
day gave the price of wheat an up
ward slant. The bulls were en-
couraged further by a growing scarcity
at Liverpool. 1t was also reported that
the crop in India would not be much
above the average in spite of the big
promise. early. Chiefly, however, the
market was governed by the high tenn
peratures prevailing and the abnormal
absence of rain. Opening figures were
4 up to a like amount off. July start
ed at S9A as to S9ts, unchanged to 4
down, and then rose to S9A.
Corn was strengthened by the firm
ness of other grain. Traders In gem
eral, though, did not seem disposed to
take hold in an active manner. July
opened a shade to b@A higher at 52s4
@52k, and for a considerable time
kept within that range.
Fear of damage by heat and drought
pushed oats higher. Houses with
Illinois connections were especially
prominent on the buying side. July
started 4 to Is up at 341s to 343s,
touched 349s and then advanced to S45s

Provisions eased off in sympathy
with a decline at the stock yards. First
sales were 2s to III down with July
delivery 14.95 for pork, S.079 for lard
and 1927 for ribs.

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, May 1S.-The cotton
market opened firm, at an advance of
2a15 points, with all the old crop posi-
lions making new high records for the
season, and with July contracts selling
at 1906 on the call as a result of con-
tinued covering, support from spot
people, firm Liverpool cables. more en-
couraging reviews of the drgy goods
situation, and continued dry weather in
the South. Realizing was heavy around
the initial prices, and a reaction of
) or 6 points occurred during the early
trading, but the market later worked
back to about the opening figures on
continued covering, foreign buying and
trade support.
offerings became very heavy a little
later in the morning and July cotton
broke to 1888 or to a net loss of 3
points, while August a even weaker,
selling Is points net lower under gen.
eral realizing and local bear pressure.
New crop positions were relatively
steady and seemed to meet with some
demand from sellers of near months as
a result of which they held a net adj
vance of from 2 to 4 points, and toward
midday thc old crop steadied up from
the lowest. with the general list ruling
from l to 5 points net higher on re-
newed covering. and bull support of

LIST IS HIGHER
WHEN PRESSURE
Of SALES RELAXES
Union Pacific, Southern Pacific
and st. Paul Show I'm.
p0rtant Gains.

NEW YORK. May 1S.-Stocks were
active and strong at the opening OF
the market today. Moderate advances
were made by almost all of the active
issues. Amalgamated p consoli-
dated gas and general electric gained
a point, Pennsylvania ~ and Reading,
Northern Pacific, Southern Pacific, Mis-
souri, Pacific, st. Paul and American
Smelling ". United States Steel opened
with a sale of 1000 shares at an ad-
of q.
IL a.. m.-Efforts were made to bring
about a substantial reaction by selling
considerable amounts of stock after the
opening, but prices receded only q
slight fraction, and when pressure re-
Taxed the list went higher than at thu
outset. Among the largest gains were
Union Pacific l, Southern Pacific 1K.
ST. Paul rs and Colorado Fuel and
North American ia.
Noon-The rapid advance of stocks
of the last two days led to heavy real
izing sales this morning, but the large
amounts of securities put on the mar
ket did not cause a pronounced break
in prices. Offerings were taken readily,
the demand from the short interest in
some of the leading speculative is
sues being especially keen. More
cheerful reports from the copper and
steel trades helped the metal stocks.
Realizing sales in Reading were es-
pecially heavy. A large absorption of
copper. stocks occasioned a revival of
the report of a merger, and there was
extensive buying of L. S. Steel, which
touched S1A. Gains of / to 2 points
were registered in a considerable num-
Der of representative stocks, including
Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, st,
Paul, u. S. Steel, ~Amalgamated Cop
per and American Smelling. Erie
showed some heaviness and there was
a 2-point decline in Atlantic Coast
Line and of ia in American Cotton Oil.
Bonds were firm.
1 p. m.-Further gains were made
by a few s~pecialties. particularly the
low-priccd metal stock, Colorado Fuel
increasing it's rise to 8 points and Ma
tional Lead getting up to 2&. Other
stocks ruled slightly below their best
prices of the forenoon, proft-taking
continuing on a liberal scale.
