NEW YORK, May 23-Selected
stocks managed to edge forward in

sions in the past four years The

While the German-Cze crisis ap-
parently had lessened, some nervous.
ness was still in evidence among trad
ing forces over the possibility Of q
new European war fare-up.
Market sentiment, however. seemed
to be somewhat better, as brokerage
quarters were beginning to feel the
list had been oversold and was in a
position to take advantage OF any
optimistic news developments. -

the Supreme Court decisions, provided
meager food for speculative contin-
gents, most Of which limited commit

WHEAT OUTLOOK
STILL FAVORABLE
Lack of Moisture in Some
Areas Fails to Bring
Much Change.
By the Associated Press.

Prospects for the Winter wheat
crop-forecast as the second largest
on record-continue generally favor
able despite lack of moisture and dust
storms in Southwestern Kansas and
Western Oklahoma.
The bright outlook served, the Bu-
reau of Agricultural Economics said,
to weaken market prices for the grain.
The bureau also reported that ia
vorable weather and moisture pre-
vailed in the spring wheat areas OF
the United States and Canada, ano
that rains had fallen in Europe on
grain fields.
Some black stem rust appeared in
Central and Southeastern Kansas
Leaf rust has been prevalent in tht
Eastern two-thirds of the State. The
bureau made no estimate of possible
damage.
Milling Inquiry Active.
The bureau said domestic cash
wheat market declined with futures
markets, but milling inquiry was fairly
active. Winter wheat growers were
reported freely offering their remain
ing supplies Of old wheat, because OF
high cash premiums and favorable
new crop prospects.
Receipts of winter wheat at the
principal terminals totaled 1910 cars,
compared with 654 for the corre-
spending week last year, the bureau
said.
Marketings of spring wheat also in
creased as growers disposed OF remain
ing stocks. Receipts of 428 cars at
Minneapolis and 258 cars at Duluth
were reported. Premiums for choice
milling Durum at Minneapolis were
quoted as much as % cents bushel
over the Duluth July futures.
Intermountain and Pacific Coast
wheat markets were mostly weak and
lower, the bureau said. adding that
the export trade furnished the prln-
cipal outlet for sales reported at be-
tween 10000 and 10000 tons.
Foreign Markets weak.
The bureau said foreign markets
were weak and lower.
Corn markets held about steady de-
spite continued good movement from
the country. Receipts at principal
terminals totaled slightly more than
6,0Oo.0 bushels. The export move
ment for the week was reported at
$4,000 bushels, bringing the total
since last october to approximately
56000,0OO bushels.
Rye, barley and oats markets de-
clined with wheat.
May wheat closed at Chicago Sat-
urday at 70 to 1919 cents bushel,
compared with previous close of 1914
to 1885 cents. May corn closed at
Sta cents, compared with a previous
close of 573s cents.

PACKERS EXPECT
EARNINGS GAIN
Believe 1888 Net Will Top
Previous Year, Says
Poor's Reports.
Specia, Dispatch to The Star.

SptCldi DlSpdtSh " AhC oNoA.
NEW YORK, May 23.-Most pack
ers are hopeful of having sufficient
earnings during the remainder Of their
fiscal year to raise the full years re-
suits moderately above those of 1887,
according to Poor's stock reports.
Conditions in the first six months OF
the fiscal year at the end of April
were generally unfavorable. Year
end inventory losses wiped out earlier
gains and made 1887 earnings the
poorest since 1882 in many cases.
Beginning in the middle of Feb
ruary, meat prices turned moderately
upward as the trade took recogni-
ton of reduced slaughterings," states
the report. This resulted from i'm
proved feed conditions. which in
duced farmers to hold animals for fur
ther fattening. Recent markets have
been irregular. but generally remain
above their 1888 lows. Ample sup
plies of feed grains are in prospect
for 1889, despite crop restrictions
Stocks of corn on January l were %
Der CENT UlUIc GlldIl IllC 4oZOsoZ dFCl =
age. and stocks Of oats were about
equal to the average.
Larger meat supplies are grad
ually developing for subsequent mar
keting. Slaughter of sheep and lambs
in late spring is expected to be about
the same as last year, but the early
spring lamb crop was about Is per
cent larger than that of 1887. The
number of cattle on feed in the corn
belt on January l was about IS per
cent larger than year earlier, but
many of these will be withheld from
market because of restocking in the
drought t-reduced areas. A larger pig
crop is expected this spring than last,
but most of these will be held for fat
tening because of the favorable hog
corn ratio. Consequently, larger mar
ketings of hogs should take place from
next October through March than in
the corresponding period of the cur
rent season."

COTTONDECL|NES
ABOUT 81 IN WEEK
Spinners and Speculative
Forces Show Little Interest
in Buying.
Bv BERNARD S. O'HARA,


NEW YORK, May 23.-With spin
ners and speculative forces showing
little interest in the buying side. cot
ton pursued a downward course last
week and finished with losses of about
81 bale.
The recession came in small doses
in a market which for several weeks
has been increasingly responsive to
unfavorable reports of cotton goods
sales and dwindling demand for the
raw staple.
Temporary semi-retirement Of mills
from their customary role as the prin-
cipal supporter of spot and futures
markets was partly accounted for by
official figures of supply.
As of April 30. domestic consuming
establishments held total Of 1,703 ,045
bales which was estimated as equiva-
lent to consuming needs for the next
four months. As against this the mills
were said to be writing very meager
quantity of new orders.
Reports Are Uneven.
There were varied reports as to the
weeks volume of business in print
cloths and broadcloths, but the con-
sensus was that bookings fell con-
siderably short of the previous week,
which had been rated as the best in
some time.
Speculative sentiment was unfavor-
ably affected by the slide of securities
prices. Traders were disposed to re-
gard it as signs of diminished conf
dence with respects to near-term busi-
ness recovery prospects.
Crop developments were followed
with keen interest, but veteran traders
continued to feel that the market had
no reason for taking on either bullish
or bearish characteristics on the basis
of happenings so far 1t was too early.
they said. to draw safe deductions as
to the size or quality of the crop.
Texas Rains Cited.
Experts thought rains in Texas dur
ing the week may have been detri-
mental but looked at broadly the
plant seemed to be making reasonable
progress.
The New York Cotton Exchange
Service reported forwardings of Amer
ican cotton to world mills totaled $780,
600 bales for the week, compared with
$4,000 in the same week last year.
Export figures made a similarly un-
favorable comparison.
