CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago. May 3l.-The life Of the May wheat
future ended today under great selling pressure and
break Of Z3c One Of the larger concerns has
bought May wheat for the past four business days
in the way Of prUht-taking But for this buying
the price decline would have been sensational The
deferred months fraction lower TO a fraction
higher, with the September the strongest future.
\ message received from Oklahoma credited
70 the Agricultural Bureau Of that State, making
the condition Of the growing wheat crop 81 per cent
decline Of "A points from April. and indicating
that the GOp loses which have been so pro
nounced in sections Of the Southwest.
Export sales, while liberal were all Manitoba
wheat, and only 1900 bushels taken here by
millers.
Before the opening it was known that the Liver
pool market demoral!Zed as values were ! to Sd
lower since Monday. The milling demand in the
English market fat, and the attempts to
iquidats caused price recessiOns.
Corn were strong. with gains Of LsEIc, and the
den and was active right up 70 the close.
Oats were sake lower 10 unchanged and the
volume Of trade moderate. There was a fair
amount Of May liquidation, with the offerings taken
by leading elevator interest.
The weakness at Liverpool, where provisions were
two shillings and six pence lower. caused a weak
opening at Chicago, where packers are attempting
TO break the price Of holdings. There was a fair
outside trade. but pork difficult TO sell unless
much lower prices were accepted.

MARKET PRICES

Only Moderate Volume of
Trading on New York

New York, May a.-Post-holiday deal

ticularIy significant index Of positions or
tendencies.
Total transactions aggregated only
moderate volume and the course of prices
was irregular. Strength was general. &C
companied by a fair amount OF trading
ACTIVITY in the forenoon. An interval OF
quiet firmness ensued, which gave way
to some selling activity and all around
tendencies toward heaviness in the last
hour. The close was somewhat depress-
ed, but in the main the market exhioited
throughout the day no change IN lts
status Of underlying strength.
The principal feature was provided oy
stocks which displayed at one per1od OF
another a great deal Of rising assres-
siveness although advances were not well
maintained. Heavy trdaing in Mercan-
tile Marine preferred at rising and then
at receding quotations attracted atten-
ton, but without any accompaniment OF
rumor or conjecture which might fore
shadow developments in the protractcd
process Of effecting the company's capi-
tai readjustment which has long been
under discussion.

ProfessionaI View of List.

The professional views OF the action of
the New York list is reflected in the fol-
lowing telegram to W. b Hbbs & Co,
from their New York cores pondent:
"As a result OF a fair accumulation of
buying orders over the holiday and much
scattered short covering, a higher range
of quoted values was established in the
first hour, but the remainder of the ses-
sion was in large part devoted to real
izing by the bull element when it became
apparent that outside buying had sub
sided. There was not much of variety of
interest in the news of market-wise
bearing. The Mexican note was received
at Washington, but its contents were not
fully reviewed. 1t seems. however, that
Washington is likely to make a rather
firm retort. which may again serve to
inject the Mexican factor into the situa-
tion as a disturbing element"

DO IT NOW, GOOD WATCHWORD
Habit of Demonstration Has Never
Yet Failed TO Bring Train of
Evils in Its Wake.

"Sometime" is a useful word that Is
often oyerwOrked, remarks the Mil
waukee Journal. One says, "Sometime
/ will do it," but the time never comes.
Sometime is no time when kind deed
Is to be done. Sometime is no time
when a definite task is to be done.
A thing put off beyond its rightful
time encrOaches on time allotted by
right to other duties One may think
he is gaining time by postpOning the
duty of the hour. In fact, he is vast
ing time Tomorrow" and ever ito
morrow has been the ruin of many.
Do now the thing that should be done
now. Have you had quarrel, and are
you ready for reconciliation? Do not
postpone it. The other person may get
hardened in his views and become I'M
willing 10 be reconciled. He may die
and leave to you ii lasting regret that
you had not made friends. Would you
help someone? Do not wait till help
is past being help. Put off till ''to-
morrow" mending the fence, and your
neighbours cattle will have found The
weak place and made havoc with your
grain. Put off paying your insurance.
End perhaps a fire will destroy ali
you have. Debts do not grow less by
postponing payment. 'Do it now" is
good watchword Say the kind word,
do the kind deed, perform the duty of
the hour
