Heury Clews’ New York circular says: “In do- mestic conditions there are some distinct improve- ments. The distributing trade shows more activity, ana the tendency of prices in many kinds of mer- chandise is toward higher figures. Crop reports show more recovery from she uniavorable condi- tlons with which the spring opened than has been hoped for, The earnings of the railroads continue comparatively good and freight rates are well maintained. The feeling among manufacturers is somewhat more hopetul, The process of forming combinations for the regulation of com petition is ex- tending from one industry to another and promises to place the current of , overproduction under wholesome restraint. The' excliement connected with preparations for the political conventions can herdly be said to have taken any deep hold on Wall street.” 7 o Clear ® (‘oudy @ Rain @ Partly Cloudy ® Snow Explanation. The arrow flies with the wind. The top figures . tion indicate maximum temperature for the those underneath it, it the amount of rainfall, of melted sn0w in inches and hundredths, during the past twelve hours, Isobars, or solid Iines, connect points of equal air pressure; iso- therms, or dotted lines, equal temperature. 'The word “‘high” means high barometric pressure and s _usually accompanied by fair weather: low" refers 1o low pressure. and is usnally preceded d_accompanicd by cloudy weathersnd rains. Lows” usually first appear on the Wushington comst. When the pressure is high in_the interior snd low along the coast,and the isobars extend north and south along the coast, rain is probable; but when the 1 ’ 1s inclosed with isobars of marked curvature, rain south of Oregon is improb- sble. Wiih a “high” in the vicinity of Idaho, and Lhe pressure falling to the California coast, warmer weather may be expected in summer and colder weather in winter. The reverse of these conditions will produce an opposite result. WEATHER BUREAU REPORT.

Stocks wers weaxer to-day, the comparatively large gold ex- poris and selling for f0reign account having had au adverse influence. According to foreign houses the liguida ion for European acconnt was, due to the impression abroud that the candidates for the Presidentisl nomination are not safficiently ex- plicit as to their Poskion on the current ques- tions.

CHICAGO, Irr, May 7.—Chinch-bug stories from Kansas gave the wheat market an upward tendency to-day. Dispatches reporting the appear- ing of the pest were numerous and the trade was | in a mood to accept the reports as veracious. St. Louis was the center from which the stories were circulated and that town sent in a lot of buying orders. Showers in the Rea River Valley were likewise alluded to in a casual way, the informa- tion from that quarter being a trifie contradictory as to the importance of the rainfall, however. Initial transactions in the pit were at easy prices. Fine-growing weather, a rather encouraging sum- mary by the Cincinnati Price Current and bareiy steady Liverpool cables. were the itemson which the early-selling movement was founded. §{The bagstories reversed the tone, however, and shorts covered with a moderate amount 0f free- dom. Receipts to-day were five cars at Chicago and 271 in the Northwest. Last Thursday Minne- apolis and Duluth had 290 cars and a year azo 160. Local inspections from store amounted to 57,426 bushels. Export clearances amounted to 125,700 bushels. Closing Continental cables were generaily lower. Hot winds in Kansas were add- ed to the bull arguments before the close and prices advanced further on that news. July wheat opened at 6234c, s0ld at 6214c. advanced to and closed at 6dc, 1bpc higher than yesterday. Est- mated receipts for to-morrow ten cars. CORN—The chinch bugs did not make a direct attack on corn, but the price of the cereal was nevertheless affected by the expected ravages. Wheat having advanced, corn, in the spirit of ood fellowship, could not do otherwise than sym- athize. Nothing of interest transpired and trad- ng was light. Recelpts were 156 cars and 185.000 bushels were withdrawn from siore. Liverpool cables were quiel and steady. The Cincinnati Price Current reported the corn crop as making American, g00d_ progress. Export clearances were good at 831,142 busuels, July corn opened at 285gc, ad- vanced to and closed at 3014@3034c, 55@34c higher than vesterday. Estimated recefpts for to-morrow, 150 cars. OATS—The dispa ches relative to bugs from Kansas stated they were also eating the oats. This news, i conjunction with the strength of wheat, served Lo strengtnen the tone of this market. The Cincinnati Price Current mentioned that growin onts were getiing along well. Receipts were 12t cars and 218,218 bushels were taken from store. July oais closed 34@7sc bigher than yesterday. Esimated receipts for to-morrow, 120 cars FLAX—Was firmer. Cash, 5734c; May, 8314c bid; July, 85c; Sepiember, 87@8714c. Hecelpts 24 cars. PrOVISIONS—The market was not in & very buovant condition this morning and ‘provisions readily fell into the same line of sentiment, The strength of the grain markets sufficed (o sustain prices and no very serious depreciation took pluce. July pork ciosed 74c lower, July lard and ribs each 21,@bc lower. BUTTEK—The demand for butter continued 200d to-day and the market was firm. Offerings were moderate.
