Wheat Prices Sink and Crop Prospects Re-
 ported Fine

Chicago, May 16.-Wheat prices sank un- session today. The decline was concident with talk by a prominent operator that crop prospects in this country could hard ly be better and that a fall of Toe a bushel from present values might easily take place. Closing figures were the same as last night to s4c down. Final trades Ieft corn 1se off to a shade up oats un- less expensive by 10c to 20c.
 According to the bear argument, if the present wheat prospect were harvested a decided fall in quotations could hardly be escaped. The idea was advanced that if the growing crop in France should prove an average yield the result would be 1OO,00 00.o00 less demand on other ooun- tries and that the United States has not yet been called upon to supply any im- portant amount to France, though the Gallic shortage has been severe. Opti- mistic reports from the Argentine as to the crop outlook there came to hand just in time to help further discourage the bulls
 During the early part of the day, how ever, news in the main had pointed in the opposite direction moisture in Russia being insufficient and European stocks reached total much less than expected. Local speculators overloaded themselves on this information and were subse- quently forced to let go at a loss.
 Price changes for July ranged from SSA QS8Ssc to S994c, with the close steady, lsq Ac off at SS5sc.
 Increasing country sales gave an easy tone to corn. So did the fact that plant ing has been nearly completed under fine July fluctuated between 521sc and 52%c, closing exactly the same as last night at 529sc. Cash was steady for good grades, but low kinds were weak: No. 2 yellow finished at 54@54a4c.
 Dry weather in Iowa and Illinois led to a bulge in oats. Realizing sales, though, served to bring about backset. High and low figures for July were 33s4 a337sc and 33ssc, with the close 331ac-no differ ence whatever from 24 hours before.
 Stock yards dealers. trying to unload bogs, received the credit for provisions. In the end pork was 20c lower, and other prodtfcts 1O6D 1212c lower.

COTTON ABOUT
 RECOvERS LOSS
No Market Influences Fol lowed Spreme Court
 Decisions

New York May 16.-~Yesterday s losses were just about recovered In the cotton market during the day trading, owing to a renewal of old crop, bull support, steadier cables and covering by new crop shorts who seemed to be partly influenced by re- ports that rain Is needed in some sec tions of the south The close was off from the best under realizing and barely steady. but last prices showed net gain of from to e7 points.
 The market opened steady at a de- cline of ? points on May unchanged on July, but ? to points higher on later months which were influenced by high CT cables than expected and the failure of the weather map to show the rains forecasted yesterday. There was some further liquidation of July, but big spot people and brokers supposed to be op- erating for one of the bull operators of last season were buyers of that posi- tion and the whole list frmed up sh ortly after the opening. There was some selling of new crop positions by commission houses with southern con- nections after the publication of tho
 
 weather In Texas and Oklahoma but offerings were very well absorbed and demand appeared to be stimulated dur Ing the early afternoon by the weekly report of the weather bureau indicat- Ing sufficient moisture during the past week. July contracts sold up to 15.sSc, or to within one point of the high rec ord for the season, and about Is points net higher, while August touched 1546c, or 22 points net higher and the new crop showed net gains of about IT to IS points. Realizing became heavier around this level and the market re- acted or points from the best dur ing the later trading.
 Probably the firm showing of the stock market following the supreme court decision yesterday helped the cot ton market to some extent as there was some covering by Wall street shorts, but otherwise the decision seemed to be without any particular influence. There was some selling of the new crop on the advance by traders who be- lieve that dry weather during May Is Ia favorable feature from new crop standpoint

half hour of business the list was to g points over yesterdays close.
 'The market was very steady throughout the morning session. A great deal of at tention was given to- complaints of dry weather from scattered localities in the cotton belt. The weekly reports from the weather bureau told of little rain ana high temperatures during the last week and strengthened the conviction that the entire cotton country would need rain soon. There was little cotton for sale at any time and buying orders in very moderate volume put the market up. The noon list was Il to IA points over yester- days close.
 In the afternoon the market was dull but very steady. July was up to 15sSc. a new high level for the season. In the trading up 10 o'clock the list was sent IS to Is points over yesterdays close.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, May 16-(Special.) binder rather more favorable advices from Liv- erpool than anticipated the decline of the past three days has been fully recov cred on the near, while the distant de- llveres have shown relatively more strength than for several weeks. As the trade Is devoting more thought to the prospects of next season, they felt that the discount between the two crops was too great. especially as the European de- mand for the new crop continues. We find that the local trade Is inclined to dis regard present crop prospects and to look forward to increasing demand from spin ners on about present prices, with good crop prospects, and a much higher level if any accident should happen to the crop.
 It was argued that the decision of the supreme court would lead to a gradual re- vival in business throughout the country and a better demand for cotton goods.

HEAVY SUPPLIES OF STRAWBERRIES Merchants Fear They Can not Handle All the
 Receipts

No trouble was experienced in dis posing of the new alfalfa hay which arrived on Morris avenue Monday. Soon after the cars were unloaded enough orders were filed with the wholesalers to exhaust the supply and until late Tuesday afternoon Inquiries were re- ceive.d asking If the new hay had all been sold. Several more cars are ex- pected this week from the Mississippi farmers.
 General trade appeared to be brisk Is nearly all of the markets yester- day and receipts leveled up to the aver age Farmers have begun to crowd the markets with strawberries The demand for berries is as good now as it has been during the season, but the large crop this year will likely be more than the Birmingham merchants will be able to handle.

STOCKS SHOW 4 BULL MOVEMENT Answers Standard Oil De- cision With Strong Ad-
 vance in Stocks

New York May 16-Wall streets im- mediate response to the decision of the supreme court in the Standard Oil case was a strong and insistent demand for securities such as has not been witnessed since the dissolution of the Pearson-Far- quarhart syndicate last July. The de- cision was interpreted as a most impor- tant bullish factor and stocks were ad- vaneed with rush, top issues gaining from to points The. great increases in the volume of business was perhaps as important feature of the market as the advance in prices.
 The effect of the decision on operations in the stock market was seen in the fact that many of the largest advances were made by stocks of corporations which are at present involved in proceedings instf- tuted by the government or have been in the past account of the nature of their acticities. Union Pacific, which is involved in the Hartman merger suit now pending in the courts, made the largest gain of any of the active stocks. Gen eral Electric which is chiefly concerned in the-suit recently brought by the gov ernment against various electrical com panies, was one of the strongest stocks, as was United States Steel, although resolution for the appointment of a com mttee to investigate the Steel corporation. was passed by the lower branch of Con- gress today.
 Other developments were subordinated to consider action of the Standard Oil case and had virtually no effect on the market. There was further reports of impending reductions fn the price of steel bars. The fortnightly statistics of Euro pean stocks of copper disclosed moder- ate decrease in the supply which is now much below that of the corresponding pe- riod of last year.
 The increased activity in stocks re- suited in heavy demands for funds and the money market was ffrmer.
 Trading in bonds increased with stocks, and the bond market was active and strong. Total sales par value, $5.267, 900.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call
