 The market had a steady undertone in the forenoon. The bearish influences did not have their usual effect. This was due to much gossip of a bullish nature regarding reports on condition from private crop reporting bureaus.
 NO figures came out during the fore noon, but it was reported that one well known bureau was about to make an estimate of condition in behalf Of It. self.
 Shorts covered and there was a mod crate amount of buying for long ac- count. At midday prices were 10 points up from the lowest and to 8 points over yesterdays close. This was tho highest level of the morning

 The market opened steady at de- cline of 1 point on May but generally unchanged to 3 points higher.

DROUGHT SENDS
 PRICES SOARING Kansas Made Prices for Wheat Markets of the
 World

Chicago. May 24.-Kansas made prices today for the wheat markets of the world. The trade watched almost exclusively the varying reports from Kansas regarding weather and crops. In the end the list was decidedly nervous and lsQtc to ikc under yesterdays clese-
 Corn closed unchanged to ls454c up, and oats at an advance of ts@4c. Provisions finished irregular. ranging from Dc de- cline to 121kc increase In cost. Exports declared a surplus yield of wheat to off, set the big losses in the central states was hanging in the balance, and the end seemed to depend on Kansas.
 Assertions of actual damage were re- ceived today from parts of Kansas. It was alleged firing had taken place in spots throughout at least three counties-Ness Lane and Scott. According to some ad- vices some conditions were getting worse as a result Of drouth and hot winds Fields In northern Kansas were reported turning brown and the ground baked hard. This sent prices soaring. Then came dispatches telling of rain at several points, and there was a collapse of prices all round. Just at the close wheat spec, ulators were again upset by hearing that ths rains in the hill land of Kansas had proven 10 be only showers, and that pro dictions were for a cloudless sky over the plains.
 A rally was in progress when the gons put stop to trade. During the sessior July Huctuated from g. .O99.d1 IFS, wltf last sales b@Ao net lower at s1.1O. Increased selling by the country acted with the decline in wheat. It caused ( setback in corn after an early upturn Shorts were less urgent buyers after tn, bulge, and there was good deal of prof taking. Rains leading to further della, in blowing and planting furnished par of the reason for keeping the bulls il countenance. July ranged between 76isQ 7654c and 76tc. closing easy at 761xc. tn same as yesterday.
 Cash grades were firm. No. yellow was quoted at s2QSsc. Continued good de mand for cash oats supplied further deliv cries of that cereal. There was man. reports from Illinois and Indiana, more over, that wet sown fields were turning yellow. Upper and lower levels reache, for July were 5oa4c and 49Ac, with tn close 50hc, a gain of 1sc net.
 Provisions had neglected appearance Outside orders were especially light Price drifted. For the most part however, the, wound up the same as 24 hours earlier.

DEALINGS SLUMP AS
 DAY PROGRESSED
Despite Dullness Sentiment Seemed Mildly Optimistic.
 Uprush in Tobocco

New York. May 24.-stagnation such as ,s often witnessed during midsummer overlook today.s stock market. This brought in the first hour very moderate degree of activity. particularly in the low priced issues After that dealings slumped until they averaged little more than so.oOo shares per hour. Despite the dullness sentiment seemed to be mildly optimistic. The change was predicted in part on the negative fact that there was no selling pressure
 During the morning there was violent uprush in the tobacco shares. especially American tobacco, which rose ' points, but at noon practically all this gain was lost.
 Other and more obscure stocks rose from to points, but as usual their rise failed to elicit any pronounced response elsewhere. For the remainder of the day the list dragged along alphabetically, even the adoption of the subway plan by the local authorities likewise falling to stir up any great amount of enthusiasm in the securities concerned.
 It is altogether probable, however, that the settlement of the subway problem may have an important effect on the gen. eral monetary situation. which is compii- cated at the moment by foreign demand.
 More advances of cash to Berlin were made by our bankers today covering the 50 day allotment but the huge sums re- quired to construct the now underground roads in this city to which our leading bankers are committed might cause a contraction of European credits.
 Apropos of conditions out of this coun- try the latest figures tabulated by the authorities at Washington fully confirm recent roseate views regarding foreign commerce.
 It is estimated that exports will ap- proximate s2,20o. .0o0.000 and imports sl.6oo- ooo,0oo. leaving a balance to our credit of se0oooo,O0o Raw cotton again leads the list of our shipments. while coffee ranks first in point of receipts.
 Western reserve centers are strong m cash and as yet there are no indications that this part of the country Will be called upon beyond a moderate extent to finance the harvesting. Throughout the bank week the movement of cash has favored this center, with resultant gains by local institutions The only domestic drain on our reserves has been occasioned by transfers to the Pacific coast, another shipment of s1. 1.000,0O0 being made today.
 Conditions abroad leave much to be de- sired, the transport strike in England in- creasing tension in Berlin and riots In Hungary finding more or less reflection in depressed values. Discounts hardened again in London, with some covering of contracts preceding the holidays. Deal ings here for foreign account were incon- siderable, as has been the case through out the week, but liquidation of our stocks in Berlin seems to have terminated. The bond market manifested better tone with strength in the local fractions and Seaboard Air Line issues. Total sales, par value. S, 100000
 United States bonds were unchanged on call. f-s lsis.9&
