CHICAGO, May 13.—~Interest of traders in the wheat pit on the Board of Trade to- day again centered in weather conditions in Kansas and as additional rain had been reported in that state pr continued to sag, closing quotations belng unchanged to uq‘ ower, compared with yesterday s final res. Corn and provisions closéd firm and oats steady. The report of in Kansas and Ne- braska were the general topic of discus- sion on the curb before the opening of the wheat market and it was the opinion that the drouth In those states had been re- lleved to & great extent. Owing (o this circumstance selling was general when trading began and Initlal quotations showed losses of %c to 1¢, compared with the pre- Vious close, July opening at $L12% $1.121 The weather bureau's forecast, ‘Which predicted showers and thunderstorms for the two states previously mentioned, furni ncentive to sell early y 4 o decldeaiy’ Neuvy ~auttm TR Arsy HaI br the session. Hefore the ond of the flrst hour July had declined to $1.11%. Toward midday sentiment in the pit veered some and offerings became less free, resulting in a gradval upturn in prices. The change ue partly to an apparently oversold ndition .of the market and to reports of amage to the crop in Missou: An im- oved demand for cash wheat here and in the uorthwest also served to create a better feeling. A feature In the cash situ- ation which was freely commented upon and which undoubtedly had some effect ggmxprl-mulvn the smaiiness ‘of local , only one carload being reported for today, wifll- the estimate for mlnlurmw showed ‘absolutely no wheat in prospect. The top point for July was reached at $L134. Prices ged somewnat from the top on profit taking, but the close was about steady, with July at $1.12 Corn was rather weak early In the ses- sion, but developed sirength during the tinal hour. During the day the July de- livery sold between @84c and 604c. The market closed strong, with prices un- changed to 8¢ higher, July being at 69%c.

Closes Lower, NEW YORK, May 13.—The largest part Of the transactions in stocks today was made in a bandful of selected securities The reasons the selection were obscure 80 far as any authentic news Wwas cons erned. There was a cloud of rumors it clrculation all day, but none of these was confirmed. The antliracite group amongst the rafi- roads was the favorite subject of (hese rumors, The supposition persisted that fomething was about to oceur which would lace ot value to the stockholders. The avorite rumer w that the coal mining properties would be separated from the raii- roads and, in some way, distributed (0 the railroad stockholders. The special atten- tlon given to the Delaware & Hudson gave rige to a rumor that it was te figure in the proposed adjustment in a particular way, OWing to the broad scope of the charter privilege, The assertion that an Increase of the Delaware & Hudson dividend was im- minent was met with the explanation that this company declares a full vear's divi dend in December for quarterly distribu- tion, leaving no occaslon for a decision on the "subject earller than next December. The speculative sentiment was tinged more or less with suspiclon by these evidences of Inconsistency in the explanations of some of the market movements. The Rock Is- land demonstration was attributed to the recent return from a forelgn trip of one of the capitalists most prominent in that and & number of other properties which have moved in response to the supposed resump- tion of stock market activities by this in- terest. The upward start in the Southern Railway stocks was unexplained by anv special news. This, coupled with that In Rock Island, gave an appearance of favor for the low priced stocks, which awakened some sympathetic movements in other stocks. In the day's market the general tone was firm, but the movement was nar- row. Prices gave way at the last after holding all day. The Harrimans started | upward, but met selling pressure again, such as has been in evidence in those etocks for some time past. The newa with most bearing on the pros- pect for affairs came from the western grain fields, where abundant rains were re- ported with greatly increased promise for the rapld progress of the crops. The re- views by accepted wutherities on fron and steel trade conditions were regarded as confirmatory of the more confident feeling that has been growing up concerning the outlook there. The forelgn exchange rate | was firm and private discount rates rose both in London and Paris. The time money market here was reported a trifle easler, without any = quotable change in rates Favorable deductions were drawn from the unimportant dimensions of the French strike demonstration. The caution of the speculation in view of the susplclous signs in the market as exemplified again in the way in which prices gave way at the end of the day and closed weak.

'This makes the total for the week over 6,000 head less than the same days lust week, but about on & par with two weeks ago and a year ago. The quality was very fair again’ this morning, there being being a iarge proportion of well finished beef cattle. % Buyers of beef steers seemed (o feel that ‘théy put on more than was necessary yesterday and as a result they started out prety cautiously this morning. As a result their bids were decidedly lower and as salesmen were backward about taking off, | the trade was a good deal of A drag ai the morning. Yesterday's market was so | wild that it was no easy matter to make comparisons that would suit all cases. Thus western hayfeds soid at the same rice yesterday, while on the other and feds in many cases were as much as 10c lower, while some salesmen thought ey had to’ take off all that was put on terday. There were thirty or thirty-five cars of cows and heifers in sight and as the de- mand was good, they gold quite readily at the same prices as yesterday. Pretty much everything along that line was cleaned up in good season There were no heavy feeders to amount to anything coming, but there was quite a little “supply of stockers and they were extremely slow sale at prices that were fully 30c lower than the high time & week ago.

On the oth hand packers were backward about takin hold and the forenoon was well ad: | beiore they really got down to by and then the best that they would do was | only about steady with yesterday. While salesmen held on, doing thelr best to force an advance, in the end they had to give in, with the result that the bulk af the hogs sold in yesterday's notches, that ls. largely at $6.9647.15 and on up as high as $7.30 for the best heavy. In spite of the fact that the market was very slow all the morning, pretty much everything had changed hands by 11 o'clock mo respects this morning's market w practically void of any new feature. In Itself this fact s worthy of note when a contrast is drawn between to- day's session and the spectatular sessions of the last fortnight Receipts were light, consisting largely of lambs. Wooled and shorn supplies were about equally divided. Outside of a few cars of first class stuff, the bulk of re celpts consisted of common and even trashy stuff. Prices ruled about steady at the ‘opening and the bulk of sup- lles were sold on this basis. In a ew instances, trading figures looked to be a shade lower than yesterday, but limited, and common receipts made it very difficult to come to a definite gonclusion regarding any decline. The general mar- ket was steady to easier. The trade was slow, especially after some of the better quality lambs had changed hands. Three loads of improved Mexican lambs brought the top of the day—$0.%. This is & dime below the record price. Two or three lots of spring lambs sold at $10.0. There was nothing extra good In shorn lambs with which to test tops. The best band of westerns brought $5.00. A string of pretty good shorn ewes moved at $5.15.
