NOT VERY MUCH RAINFALL, Bubstantial Wrtung Downs in the Wheat Belt Rather Scarce, THE CORN MARKET DEPRESSED. No Life Shown in Any Part of the Proyision Pit — Cattle Values Lower On Accountof Big Receipts, CRHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET, Ciicaco, May 2 ¥ 1 telegram to the Brrk.—The signal service map was tinged ol over this morning with the blue pencil marks indicating rainfalls, But close examination showed that while there had been numerous wetting downs, substantial rains had been very scarce, The map was for forty-eight hours, and if the same rain- fall had appeared on two maps instead of one, ag would have been the case any other day but Monday, it would have created no bear sentiment, As it was the few minutes before the opening were trying ones for the holders. ‘The market once opened, however, the apprehiension was plainly all on the other side. June wheat opened at $sige and spurt- odup to 8ie at once, not, either, on any forcing from the clique brokers. There was plenty of bear news, but there were plainly, too, plenty of shorts, and they were not feel- ing easy. At St. Louis there are, It is said, onl ,000 bushels of contract wheat. From Duluth last week %30,000 bushels of wheat were shivped. Exporters said that there was a temporary pause in the foreign demand, but it is explained tiat foreigners have now bought so freely that their anxiety 1s a little relieved and they prepared to wait a little. Still the mar- here, howe it 1 eted, will start in as buyersagain, ‘The visible supply figures, when they were at last made publie, were about as anticipated. Wheat showed a decrease of only 1,400,000 bushels in spite of the exports last week from Atlantic ports of 034,000 bushels of wheat. Estimated car lots for Tuesday show that the promised Min- neapolis and other northwestern wheat is en route to a certainty. Inspectors’ estimates are for the receipt to-morrow of 43 cars of wheatand 465 cars of corn. The St. Paul road is reported to have sent 600 empty cars to Minneapolis yesterday, and isalso reported to have contracted to bring 200 cars ot wheat from there every day this week. This talk comes, of course, from the bears and the shorts, but the actual car lots are promised this weck, and this makes it look as if there was some truth in the prediction. But, with the exception of a great lot of spring wheat headed toward this market, all other news wasbullish. At New York it was said that forty boat loads of wheat had been taken for export. The exports of wheat and flour Iast week reached the enormous total (flour reduced), of 3,521,000 bush Cligue ollormluns were conlined to occasionally peg- ging June wheat at 84'sc. There was some Selling of June by a clique houser Cudahy was credited with large purchases of July. July opened at 8ilge, eased off to 87 advanced to 8ilge, and remained fir at c@sTi4c tor a long while, closing on the split, Influences wero all depressing to corn to- day, and the market weakened perceptibly despite the firmness in wheat. P!l! highest prices of the day were «xmhlnhwl at the opening, and lllmuglwnt the entire mornin, session the tendency wassteadily downward, there being no reaction of . more than 1-166 from the opening to the close. Appearances indicated a pretty general liguidation on the rnn of the longs, and a fair percentage of he selling to-day was for account of coun- try operators against cash. June broke from 8915¢ to 383%{c and closed at 387%c, while July sold off from 40%e to 40}gc and rested at 40}g@i0%c on the split. deller August closed at 415c, Oats wero sxcoedingly weak today, the speculative market breaking sharply on re- ports of rain in the west and a better pros- racl for tho crop generally, There was a heavy trade and large offerings of long oats. The "August option showed the greatest weakness. It opened e lower, broke e more and closed practically at thie bottom, or at203@%%. June and July were H@ixec lower, closin, lg@27c respectively. In the provision market there was no life in any direction. Outside orders for both cash and future propert; ed to show any incrense over last weak, and in local circles there was no improvement in the disposition manifest to take nold. In both lard and short ribs there was more or less doing in the way of changing over near by contracts to later months, but the new business tran- sacted was limited and rentumh.sq Changes in lard were made at a montll difference of @10¢, and in short ribs at l @12%c. Ribs were 5¢ lower at the opening under large arrivals ot hogs, but this decline was recov- ered as the day progressed, and at 1 o'clock Prlcel stood 2}4e higher than Saturday’s clos- ng, Lard was steady and quotably un- changed.

CHICAGO, May 83.—[Speclial Telegram to the BEE.]—CATTLE.—The big run of to-day on the top of the heavy supply of last week ‘was more than the market could stand, hence values went down at least 10@15¢c below the low prices of last week. One lot of stillers 80ld at £4.50 against $4.00 last week. One lot of big 1,600 to 1,700 Ib. steers was held at $4.80, with 84.60 the best offer.

New Yonrg, May 23.--[Speclal Telegram to the BEk-|-drocks—The stock warket was rather narrow to-day, about all the ac- tivity centering in one or two specialties, which were moved fast enough to more than make up for the dullness of the rest of the list. St Paul & Duluth was the center of speculative Interest and was traded in more heavily than for months. 1t opened at 70 and before noon sold at 774, Some of the heaviest traders in the street were buyers. The story was that the old board of directors was to be ousted and a new one elected, ‘which would favor a division of the surplus of the company during the past five years. Grangers were inclined to be heavy on re- newed reports of sources of complications among the roads in the northwest. It was reported that St. Paul had given notice of a reduction In rates from Omaha to Chicago, the effect of which, it was claimed, would be to lnvolve all the roads west of Chicago in a fierce rate war. The best operators sold Grangers and they generally sold off, and at noon were about 1 per cent lower than on Saturday. Gould stocks were rather buoy- ant, Texas Pacific being in especially good demand. The talk was given out by Con- nor’s brokers that it would sell up to 40 this week, At noon the market was rather weak and rageed, sales to that hour aggregating 111,000 shares. A strong bear raid was made on the warkel In the afternoon and every- ihing on the list suffered a severe break. The was the favorite future in the trading in” nlhr(l of the bears seemed to be particularly directed towards Grangers and Vanderbilts. St. Paul was sold in big blocks by the Bate- man party on the rate war in the northwest. Mr. Connor was quoted as taking a very bearish view of the situation, Pacifie Mait was thrown over in large quantities, a b of 2 per cent in its price being recorded. The whole market closed very soft at the lowest prices of the day. The total sales were about 000 shares, (GOVERNMENTS—(Government bonds were dull but firm to strong.
