New York, May i2.-- (UP) --The Nlook market during the past week Cropped ko new lows for 1884 while EommodIlieg fluctuated in wide areas. and the dollar firmed In for. aifn exchange terms.

The carryovcr is sufii. uientiy large, however, to prevent M shortage, and unless thcro is condition abroad that would lead tO American wheat export, there will be little benefit derived for tne farmer.
 As q matter of fact, farmers In the drought area were reported curtaillng their purchases of all but necessities Of life, Retail trndc sn the drought.strlcken regions were down. according to the Dun & Bradstreet review, while gains were noted in other sections.

 Tn ordinary circumstances a stock market usually follows tho course of grains. This week, the market paid no attention whntso' ever Go good news---and there was onsiderabie--but 1t did reflect bad news in every particular. Main feature in the n0ws wns the atti. tude in Washington on the stock exchange regulation bill, Many traders have definitely left the market and will remain on tho gide lines until action ono way or tho other Is taken on the bill.
 Then, too, there is fear of other radical legislation that might up. set markets. A few days riso In grains brought out requests in Washington that commodity mnr. knts be regulated, but it was not believed n commodity regulation bill would be passed at this ses- sion of congress.
