BULGE YESTERDAY
 IN WHEAT PRICES
Belief That France Will Be Liberal Buyer From Other
 Countries Responsible

Chicago, May 3.-Belief that France countries brought about bulge today in the prices of wheat. Final quota tions were generally %Gae higher than last night. Other leading staples all showed net decline for the day corn E @11sc; oats. % 91hq1Ac and provisions. 25k k@171kc.
 News of a probable extension of the time allowed for French millers to ex- port flour made from foreign grains started the wheat market here on an advance that the bears were at no juncture able to overcome. The feel ing of strength received additional em- phasis from the fact that details of the Kansas state report indicated a less favorable crop showing than was yes- terday supposed to be the case. There were also advices at hand confirming more fully the impression that the harvest in the big soft winter states will be so meagre as to have an inn portant effect on supplies, especially in Chicago.
 Best prices for wheat today came after announcement of a decrease of 2,550,000 bushels in northwestern stocks during the week World ship ments. however, promised to be heavy, notably so from Argentina. and there was considerable falling off in con fidence before trading reached a set tied basis at the end. Between the opening and the close July ranged from s11Oss @1.11h. with last sales $1.107s 0o1,11, a net gain of ssc.
 Corn displayed heaviness almost from the start Commission selling was too persistent to admit of its being unim- portant. Signs of large receipts to con tinue in the southwest had a depress- ing effect, and so did big shipments from Argentina. July fluctuated from 76 ss @77ssc, closing weak, %c down lat 76ss @76&c. Cash grades were of fered more freely. No. yellow was quoted at S0A @s01sc.
 Fine growing weather led to much selling in the oats crowd. The break in the price of corn and other feed stuff was also a bearish influence. Out side limits touched for July proved to be 52 ss and 54 Ae, with the close is O n Ac off at 5294 452Ac.
 Provisions gradually eased back in consequence of the heaviness of corn One of the leading owners unloaded but on the whole business was light Pork suffered the principal decline, 1s to 1215c net.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, May 3.-(Special. i've have had a natural nervous market following the reaction of yesterday, which was not maintained because there was further liquidation of long cotton by holders who did not sell yesterday or Wednesday, This they did today in face of another low barometer over Arkansas and predictions of unsettled weather over the southwest. Possibly some cotton held by Wall street parties was sold out because of the weak ness in the stock market.
 The trade bought today on receipt of poor crop accounts from the Mississippi valley sent by the leading crop experr. So heavy was the liquidation. however. and perhaps some selling in anticipation of falling off in the demand from spin ners that the market closed 10 to F points lower than yesterday.
 Liverpool should decline about 2k points tomorrow
