~- A DAY FOR THE SCALPERS. That Element Manipulates the Market to 8uit Themselves. CORN AGAIN WEAK AND LOWER. in Barley Mnln- Provision Pit— arket Without Punu ure—General Quotations, tained in the COattle Chicago F CHIcAGO, May 14, the BE oduce Market. Special Telegram to Wheat opened firm at yesterday's prices, with the crowd eager buyers. The market sold off very slightly, but started up on indications of clique buying. Many of the scalpers who had sold on the bulge yes terday afternoon came into the market, and finding that olferings were limited, began bidding for the wheat they wanted, This clement took the market away from the chique and put Juneup to 867¢e, when the demands of the shorts were satisiied. The market, left to itself, worked off, June receding to S6'4e, July touching %5'ge, ar.d Augustside, Here again clique houses appeared as buyers, and as thesession drew towards aclose the music of the band became louder and the tune live- fler. About ten minutes before the bell tapped June touched Bie. There it stuck tremulously to the finish, July resting at K5%e, August atSiye and September at 831 e, Brokers had orders to close the market at S7c, and they did it. They did not have to buy a great quantity of grain to do It, either. “Transactionsin the pit were below the aver- ago In aggregate, the market very narrow. Loeal scalpers and fthose who can have in- stantaneous connection with the exchange, try to tail onto the clique, but the public does not seen to have availed itselt gonerally of the clique 30 generously and continu- ously put out. Commission houses report a light run on outside orders. Lt is said, no ever, that the bucket shops are great suff which would indicate that the mnultitude of little fellows had cauzht on and were passen- iers on the clique train. Corn was again weak and lower, especially the June option, I was less changing over to-day, or, in other words, less buying of June and selling of July, which accounted for the conspicuous weakness in the former month, and it sold “a split” lower than on Iast break, when the inside fizures on the 9rop, up to that time, were touched. The principal feature of umh\r s trade was the yery general and heavy unloadings by longs, Discouraced holders dumped large quanti- ties, and although the shrinkerage in values oceasloned by free offerings were not severe, it was a heavy slugging market from the opening to the close. Initial trades in June were at 30!{ and in July at 4le, or Xc under murflu) 's closing. June slutTed off to 287¢ and closed at BYc straight, and July m«{nz 4034c, after touching 4odge. May closed at 1c under Juneand Augustatabout:ic premium. ‘The actual decline in the leading utures was li@¥e. Larger recelpts are predicted for next week, Mummy srun being estimated at 175 cars. Port clearings yester- day from two ports were 95,000 bushels, and foreign markets wero quoted quiet and steady. To-day’s charters by lake shippers were for 146,000 bushels, Oats were fairly ve and prices weakened ke tor the prin- trading months, Fine weather, good receipts, free speculation offerings and the depression of corn, all helped to weaken the market. Fluctuations Were narrow, June closing at 27%c and July at 25'¢@?28] ‘gl‘. Just at the close ‘3'000 bushels were sold for August at 263 1In the] nm\Hmn pit yesterday’s interest was barely maintained. The warket opened with a promise of more active trading, but on the appearance of a weaker and more bearish teeling than was expected, traders became comparatively conservative, hence to-day’s busiuess, all’ told, was somewlat unsatisfactory and without special feature, From the start the bear side was rezarded with the greatest favor. and at the close lard stood at 7 @I10c and short ribs 10@12}je un- der Iast uight's final quotations, 'The best rrlq'o-( reported were obtained on opening ransactions. Speculation was confined to lard and short ribs and to the usual months— June, July and August. Lork was held at $21 for May and June. The cash product sold slowly, though buyers were evidently making more inquiries aud showed more disposition to take hold. Lard sold moder- ately for export, Cash meats were held at about yesterday’s prices, CHICAUO LIVE 8TOCK. CH10AGO, May 14.—|Speclal Telozram to the BEk.|—CATTLE~—[t Was not much of a market to-day.

New Yonx, May 15.—[Special Telegram to the BEE.|—Srtocks.—The New York stock market was rather more nurrow to-day than It has been for some time, but there ‘was no material break in prices. The most sensational move of the day was in Mani- toba, which advanced 2 per cent on big buy- ing orders from the west. 1t was stated that the stockholders would have the right some time this year to subscribe for new stock on the 1,000 miles of road which the Manitoba i3 building. Grangor stocks were all very quiet and steady, notwithstanding rather heavy selllng to realize. A good many traders were outof town attending the races, sud this had a tendency to detract from the loterest which traders usually take in the market. A story was current that a big bull deal had been started In Norfolk & Western, Loudon operators being eredited with having designe of some kind on the road. ‘Tbe result was a jump of 1 per cent in the stock. The bank statement, showing a de- crease of only $361,000 in the reserve, was regarded as favorable. At loust it was not construed as unfavorable enough to sell stocks on. London prices were all a shade up and arbitrage houses reported a fair emount of buying for foreixn aceeunt.

A few hours delay makes a great ditference in the live stock business. ‘The number of cattle sold on the market was very small in comparison with the num- r Bros. ber in the yards. This however is always the case when there is a sudden and heavy decline in the market, Shippers come in with cattle which were bought when the mar- ket was higher, and finding that they can 1ot get out on_ them, they prefer to £o on to Chicago in hopes of bettering themselves. Experienee has shown, however, that nine times out of ten the shipper does not receive as much in Chicago he may be offered here. Yesterday Mr. Swift, of Swift & Co., made a bid on every load of fat cattle in the yards, but only a very few were sold. It re- nains to be seen whether the same cattle will net their owners any more on the Chicago market.

A boyish fellow, giving his name as C. A. Gray, was lodged at the juil as a vag- rant. He had not a nickle, his chief per- sonal effects being a star bearing the magical words, ‘‘private detective,” a small revolver and a notebook. He ex- plained that he had joined an association m Cincinnati. He had received an invi- tation to join, and was assured that he could get a hiving and a name easily. He had paid $5 to become a member and had his certificate with him, in the front part of the notebook were blank pages for recording such arrests as he might make. Thus tar there had been no en- tries in the book. He had found the life of adetective rather rocky. He had come across one sheriff who promised to give him $100 if he would find a certain man, but he hadn’t found him yet. The foolish fellow, who is only one of many who have been duped th way, wuas al- lowed to go free, and given some whole- some advice about returning to his work on the tarm, stopping the reading of flasi novels, sell his gun and buy & shovel, save his money and look with doubt upon every seductive circular, B The Park Concert. Last evening a most enjoyable concert was given in Bayliss park, it }eing a com- plimentary tendered the public by the enterprising firm of Odell Bros. & Co. Dalby’s fifth regiment band furnished the music. This band is a comparatively young organization, but unier the lead- ership of Prof. Dalby has developed rap- 1dly, angd promises to be one of the finest organizations in the state. Among the most choice numbers on the vrogramme were those of Prof. Dalby's own composi- tion. He i; true artist, and Council Blufls may well take pride in having such a gifted resident, whose band music is played by the best musical organiza- tions in this country, and evenin the lands beyond the ocean. 1t is mete that such a musician should be heartily en- couraged to remain here, and yet it is not in pursuance of this pnlw/ that the statement is made that the conecert given by his band last evening was an extraor- dinanly fine one, He wd his aniza- tion merit such praise. The new band has had little time to play together and yet, a few, not knowing this fact wonld have ilustrated it by their renditions last evening, | usic was of a high order, much of it diflicult, and it was given charmingly. erc was a large crowd to hear it, and all seemed deligh It is the opening of the season, and their concerts in the park are to follow, It is w be hoped that there will be many of them. ‘The programme was as follows: Manawa \Vul .J.
