CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO May 19.-Sellers of wheat over-reached themselves today trying to profit by a report European entente nations had agreed to liquidate holdings of American grain futures. No evidence of such liquidation developed and the market. after a moderate decline, went soaring when sellers who wished to even up trades attempted to switch to the buying side. The closing was un- settled 12 cents net higher, with July at $40 and September at s2.17. Other commodities, too, scored gains-corn 3 to 4Ac: and oats Ac to 112c, and pro- visions 15 to 25c.
 It took less than an hour to demon strate that the wheat market had been badly oversold.
 Once the wheat market started up- grade the ascent of prices was rapid , in some cases the Jumps were as much as five cents between trades.
 Corn rose sharply on account of the scarcity of offerings and owing to smallness of receipts. Oats were strong as a result of good export business.
 Higher quotations on hogs and grain lifted provisions.
 Close: Wheat July $40; Sept s217
 Corn: July s15.5A . Sept. s1.4S. Oats: July 67hc; Sept. 5712c Pork: May s3S60; July s3S65. Lard: July s22.S2; Sept. s22.92. Ribs: July s2092: Sept. s21.07.

NEW YORK, May 19, (Wall Street. The dullness of today's short trad ing period was in striking contrast to the activity of the two preceding sessions. Momentous overnight events such as the presidents call to arms and the decision of the gov ernment to dispatch an expedition ary force to France had a sobering effect upon speculative sentiment.
 Prices were little changed at the opening apart from another severe break in Denver and Rio Grande pre- ferred. Other rails were firm to strong.
 War shares were better by one to two points. United States steel came within a fraction of it's recent max mum and the more distinctive equip ments and munitions recorded che to two points.
 A very slight decrease of reserves was shown in the actual condition Of the banks, with a loan expansion ot s37, ,537, ,00O and an increase oS about $44.000.000 in demand deposits.
 Bonds were heavy. Denver refund ing 5's breaking three points and Union Pacific As IF. United States registered 4s were up A per cent or call during the week, but other gov ernments were F to one per cent lower.

Weekly Financial Statement.

NEW YORK. May 19-Technical conditions again counted to a con siderable extent for some of the inn portant changes that accompanied the enlarged operations of the week in the stock market. The many signs of increased industrial activity awak- ened an inquiry fer steel and iron issues and the general list of equip ments and munitions.
 favorable factor of the week was the let-up in liquidation of rails and utilities, albeit motors issues were under increased pressure. Better ment in rails was assisted by more encouraging crop prospects.
 The change in the stock market came more immediately from the loan made by the government to Russia Prior to that development exchange on Petrograd declined to a new leve and Russian bonds became 'acutely weak.
 Investors continued to show much uneaSineSS over the course of revenue legislation. Affirmation by the lower house of tie retrospective clause af- forded an excuse for much realizing in the latter dealings of the week.

earnings may reach $130,0O0,000. This would mean an actual addition to as sets from time of organization to June 30, 1917 of about $145 per share on the common stock.
 Central Leather shows signs Of re- newed activity. The company in the three months to Dec. 31, 1916 earned a balance of $6,040,7 ,76S, or 15-2 per cent on | it's common stock. In the March three 1 months the surplus for the common was $5,751, ,891, or 14.4 per cent These | profits were at the rate of 57.6 per cent for the full year, against actual profits | in 1916 of 331 per cent. There is hardly doubt that Central Leather will have sensational year in 1917. It has ade- Quate supplies of hices and is selling in world markets. If the company fails to earn $50 a share on 1t scommon in 1 1917 it will be matter of general sur ! prise. In 1916 the common received $i a share in dividends. It will do at least as well in 1917 and it may easily ob- tain as high as S10 a share in diVi- dends In 1916 the common sold at SIP; a share.
