new YORK STOCKS AND BONDS
Movement Toward Higher Prices
Hats with Small Losses.
SELLING PRESSURE IS RESISTED
Reports from steel Trade Are that
Definite Trend Toward Heavier
Orders Appears 60 Have
Set In.

NEW YORK. June 5.-After an inter
rupted advance during the greater part Of
last week in which stocks we're carried
to the highest level Of the year, the move
ment halted today. A mildly reactionary
tendency developed, but the market offered
such directive resistance to pressure that
losses in most cases were small.
Inc manner In which some of the i'm
portant stocks, such as st. Paul American
smelling and United States Steel declined
IN the early session, encouraged bear
traders TO join in a vigorous demonstra-
ton; The selling, however. was not eff
fective.
Reports from the steel trade were that a
detinite trend toward heavier orders APP
peared to have set in in response to the
reduction in prices, although manufac-
turers DO not expect pronounced gains be-
lore the latter part of the month An
other cut In prices on the part of the
principal western subsidiary OF the United
states steel corporation was Announced
Several plants in the Pittsburg district

now about to resume.

SHEEP-The lamb trade ruled sharply
higher on a meager supply. only twelve
doubles Of stock showing up in all. Five
Of these were Wyoming ewes and lambs
fresh from the range, and were hardly
fat enough TO attract inquiry from killers
Wooled Mexican and shorn western lambs
were the only offering available with
finish. There were no old sheep Of con-
sequence on sale.
Prices that averaged about quarter
higher than those OF last weeks close
bought practically all OF the fed animals
and the demand seemed urgent at the ad-
vance. This urgency, due largely to a
famine run, was generally credited with
most OF the bullish influence in the
market.

Panama Bond Issue
Worth High Bid
Government Offers Them to Small In
vestors, but Financiers Are
After Them.

Little interest is being displayed IN
I Omaha in the issue of Panama bonds &C.
cording to the statement OF Henry W.
Yates, president Of the Nebraska National
bank, which has charge Of the dlstribu-
ton of the bonds in Omaha.
Mr. Yates stated that this situation "a
but an indication of the lack Of informa-
tion concerning federal finances The OBJ
ject OF the government in establishing
points for the distribution OF the bonds in
various parts of the country was TO rive
the small investor, the man with a few
hundred dollars to put aside, a chance to
buy the securities
Il thought that they would go good IN
Omaha" said Mr.. Yates, but II has not
proved TO be the case. Omaha Is quite a
city for investments in the 3 per cent class
1t Is for that reason that thought the bid
ding on the bonds would be lively. or
course, the only indication we have here
of the interest that is being taken in them
is from the number of bidding blanks that
we distribute. But the bids that are being
sent TO Washington from Omaha are few,
II the number of requests for the blanks Is
to be taken as a criterion.
'Of course the government will have no
trouble in selling the bonds. The big finan-
ciers OF the east will only be more than
happy to take them up. My advice to a
man who intends to bid on them would be
to make his bid high, for the demand is
strong and the bonds will sell at good
premium"

CAITLE-Receipts on cattle we've quite
liberal on paper, 1856 cars being reported IN
The actual number on sale, however, was
very much smaller, fifty-two cars OF the
number received being Matador cattle on
their way from Texas to Canada. After
making allowance for the cattle not on
sale, the offerings were really very light
for a Monday.
The demand for beef steers was really
good and the more desirable of the offer
lngs soon changed hands at prices that
we're steady to stronger, in fact, some
statesmen who happened to have cattle that
were especially desirable in buyers eyes
were quoting their sales as much as 59lVc
higher.
The market on cows and heifers was ex-
tremely slow and dull. Even the best heif-
ers did not move any too readily and cows
were 10I15c lower. according to the quality.
Buyers complain that the cows are showing
more and more grass all the time and
are killing out poorer. The downward
movement in the COW market seems to be
general at all points and is the usual con-
dition of the market at about this season
of the year.
In addition to twenty or more cars of
stockers that arrived this morning there
were in the neighborhood of thirty to forty
cars left over from Saturday. In other
words the offerings of stock cattle were
the largest that they have been for good
Of cattle have been very high as com
pared with fat cattle, buyers took advan-
tage of the situation to pound the market.
which was safely 25c lower than last week
on the fair to medium grades of stock
cattle such as were on sale. 1t is safe to
say that stockers are around 50175c lower

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Features of the Trading and CIOsinS
Prices on Board of Trade.

PFtcea on bOHEu OF
CHICAGO, June 5.--A huge wave of spec
alative buying today in the wheat pit ran
against heavy realizing sales on the longs.
In consequence much of a sharp advance
was lost and the market closed easy at
prices varying from Saturday nights level
to NC above.
Corn finished nc down to ka%c up, oats
with a gain Of 1s@%c and provisions more
The volume of trade in wheat exceeded
that of any other day for weeks past and
also contained larger percentage of busi-
ness from the outside public. Hot weather
over the greater portion OF the winter
wheat section had much to do with bring
ing out bullish enthusiasm. Besides, the
cash demand here continued good and there
were reports of a better inquiry for flour
ut Minneapolis. Between the opening and
closing July fluctuated from 93Sc TO &c,
and in the end was easy at the first named
figures, precisely the same as forty-eight
hours before.
Prospects OF more normal weather led to
increased corn sales by the country. The
range for July was from 54ssc to 5611c, with
the day. Cash grades were barely steady.
No. yellow finished at 55d55%c.
A big rush to buy oats had origin In the
Missouri report showing a serious fall In
the condition of the growing crop there.
The ensuing advance though was taken ad-
vantage of to secure profits and there was
a decided reaction. July varied from 37hc
TO 3Sc and closed nc net higher at 375ac.
Provisions were helped by the liberal eN-
ports and through the advance of grain
and hogs. When the pit was closed pork
was 10000 higher thin Saturday night,
with lard and ribs up too but only by half
as much.
