CLOSE STEADY IN
WHEAT At ADVANCE
Buying by New Investors
Brings About Rally in
Wheat Market

| Chicago. May 15.-Buying by new
wheat Despite early weakness the mar
ket closed steady at prices ranging from
last nights level to 81 up, oats with
finished shade off TO lsc up, oats with
gain of Is to Ac and provisions were
dearer by to 71a to 2oc.
In the opinion of many traders selling
of wheat had been considerably over
drawn. This judgment was confined
about noon when purchasing become
somewhat aggressive and shorts sour
ried to cover The bulls wer encouras ed
by milling sales of 10000 bushels and
by sales of $780, 600 bushels to eastern
export houses. Besides clearances at the
Seaboard were heavy, arrivals at lead
ing terminals being light. The season in
Canada was said to be two weeks late
and the Pacific states were distressed by
radical deficiency of moisture. Previous
to the upturn quotations had been de-
pressed by statements that Russian crops
promised huge returns and because of ex-
cellent weather and soil conditions east
of the Rockies.
Bears however, were unable to force
more than slight reactions. Primary re-
ceipts of wheat today were $4,000 bushels.
last year 691 900 bushels. Clearances of
wheat and flour cqualled 91S,000 bushels.
Corn displayed frmness, the result OF
country holders declining to sell at a re-
duced basis. Oats strengthened on re-
ports that rains in Illinois and Indiana
did not extend as far south as expected.
Packers and foreigners appeared to have
taken to the buying side In provisions.
Hog receipts were meager.
Future quotations were as follows.

Narrow, and Irregular

New York, May 15.-In a small volume
BUSINESS, quotations of stocks were
seaieo down again today. Nearly a dozen

ported, although none of the active stocks
was In the list. The days news did not
AFFECT speculative conditions materially,
ana traders were disposed to hold off still
ionger before taking an aggressive posi-
.ioh, Ihe obvious lack OF demand for
s.oohs induced tear traders to SELL but
they attacked the list half neartedly. and
movements We're narrow ard irregular
until the final hour, when the market
turned downward more decisivey.
Whiie selling appeared to be largely for
the snort account, there We're signs OF
liquidation in various quarters and some
severe losses The fertilizer group was
heavy. Cotton Oil, the weakest of these
shsies, broke over points. Canadian Pa
enc was again pressed for sale. The
1tlnness Of the market was illustrated
py the experiences of brokers who were
called upon TO dispose of small blocks of
inactive stocks. In some instances 1t
was necessary to make substantial con-
eessions to find a buyer. A case in point
was Railway Steel Spring preferred,
which broke nearly points on a single
Eale.
The shipment of 100000 more gold for
France was announced. bringing up the

The Judges Conundrum


An amusing story Is told of Lord
Chief Baron Pollock. One day, at the
Old Bailey, the Recorder of London. In
presenting the Lord Mayor to him
which he did in bombastic and inflated
language. described his early education
and struggles, his poverty, industry,
perseverance. and ultimate wealth.
He said
MY Lord, he became an orphan when
q young boy. and suffered, indeed, great
poverty but by his energy and perse-
lverance he has now become one of our
city nobIes."
Pollock listened apparently with the
greatest interest to the story of SO
much greatness, and presently asked
| What is the difference between his
former circumstances and the present."
The city noble looked but could not
answer. Even the learned recorder
was puzzled to give a definition of the
different condition of things. Then the
| lord chief baron, with the smile that
| characterized him, said
| II will tell you the difference. It is
merely a matter of degree. In youth
he was poor orphan, and now he is
better-of 'un."

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, May 15.-(Special. )-Rains
were reported in South Carolina and
elsewhere today but the stagnation of
the market continued with no feature
beyond a slight weakness in new crop

liveries with uncertainty as to their
future and the usual free predictions
of much lower prices for the new crop.
This is creating confident and large
short interest
