CROP REPORT FAILS ID AFFECT MARKET
 
Close Firm in Wheat-C0rn Makes Net Gain-Rains
 in Central States

Chicago, May 7.-Although guesses went wrong on the government crop report to- day and put the total estimated yield of wheat 15,000.0o0 bushels too low. the fact developed too late to influence the market The close, which was firm, ranged from a shade down to 5sc higher as compared with the night before. Corn made a net gain of lc to %Giae; oats finished ise Of to asc up, and provisions varying from a shade decline to 17I5c advance.
 For the most part it was a waiting day in wheat. Good rains in Kansas and neighboring states and the merely frac- tional rise in Liverpool in response to the strength on this side modified the bullish feeling. Operators here, however. hesi- tated to press the market either way owing to the uncertainty over crop fig ures. Delay in seeding in Northa Da- kota tended to cause a reaction toward q higher level after the market had under gone a moderate dip. Besides, flour was on the advance. The consequence was q firm close at virtually the highest point of the session. Between the opening and the wind-up July fuctuated from si .13s4 to s1.144, with last sales s1.14ss91 IA, exactly Ac over last night.
 Complaints concerning the quality of seed put the corn market upgrade. Fine weather and increased acreage were lost sight of, shorts covering freely. July ranged from 769k@7ss4c to 779sc and closed steady skG1ac net higher at 771kV77ssc. Cash grades were firm. No. yellow was quoted at S1c.
 Oats were under much local pressure to all. Important longs, said to be in- huenced by weather favorable for pro- noting the growth of the new crop, ap- peared to be letting go of their lines. Out side limits reached for the July option were 5211c and 53Isc. with the close ssc up at the figures last named
 In the provision pit selling on the part of foreign houses acted as drag on the market. Lard and ribs were held down. Advancing prices for corn and hogs, how ever, lifted pork 71ad1oc 10 17ikc.
 Future quotations were as follows.

Hubbard Bros. X Co.'S Letter

New York, May 7.-(special. )-Fur- ther showers brought about full re- sponse to our advance of yesterday from the foreign markets. Some heavy buying apparently from Wall street sources advanced prices some 12 to 10 points, upon which there appeared to be heavy profit taking.n
 New Orleans was easier than this market all day, which was considered strange in view of the flood situation and rains as reported on the weather map. During the afternoon the of ferings became so heavy that many of the buyers of the morning sold. The weekly weather report was con- sidcred better than expected. Further showery weather Is predicted over the south. The situation depends entirely upon weather conditions which no one can foresee, but it is evident there will be little short selling until crop con ditions become better
 Liverpool should be points lower tomorrow.

Offerings were met by reunion of demand from longs based on the forecast of more rain In the cotton belt, but this inquiry was more than mst and late in the morning the market had rather an easy tone.
 Crop reports were unfayorable rom nearly all sections of the belt, but lead- ing bull interests had apparently decided withdrawing their support until liquida- tion had decreased At noon the trading months were points under yesterdays days close.

Mexico High Timbered Land

From the MeX1can T1eTaId.
 The forests of Mexico are situated chiefly in the mountains at attitudes of 5000 to 12,000 feet. Owing to the inaccessi- biity of many of the tracts of timber comparatively few railroads have pene- trated them. The chief means of getting out the roughly hewed timber and bring ing 1t flown from the higher attitudes Is by burros. They follow the narrowest and most dangerous mountain trails even when their bodies are loaded with the weight of enormous timbers. It is upon the backs of these burros that thousands of railroad crossties were brought down from the mountains. thus enabling the construction of the more modern lines of transportation
