Y., May 26.—It was another dull and uninteresting day at the Stock Exchange. Treosactions were only 103,175 shares. At the outset the market was inclinea to weakness and prices receded about 14@%s per cent, lower prices from London havingled to moderate sales for the short account by local traders, who for ihe mo- ment were arrayed on the bear side. The argu- ments advanced by those working for a decline were the continued decline in the prices of wheat, lard, pork and other prodncts: the likelihood of Surther enzagements of gold for export to Europe on Thursday and Saturday and the efforts making in the Senaie Lo change the matier of bond issues now in control of the Treasury Department. The ow prices prevailing for products was much discussed in some circles, and houses with Chicago conzectious, comparatively speaking, were fairly Jarge sellers of the Grangers for this reason. i fs to be said, bowever, that the actual owners of se- curities are not disturbed on_account of liquida- tions in wheat, coru and provisions. aud the low record prices made and held to their securlties. notwithstanding the efforts of the shor(s to dis- lodze long s:ock. Sugar, which was the leader in point of activity, first declined to 12134 and then rose to and closed a 12315, a net gain ot 134 per cent for the day. Manhatian, a favorite of traders, oy higher, then dyopped to 1027, and later recov- ered 10 103%." Leather preferred sold of slightly on the announcemen: that action on the dividend had been postponed, on account of the absence of several members of the executive committee.

CHICAGO, Irx, May 26.—Without anything new onthe situation and without any extraordi- nary effort to depress prices the market for wheat experienced another break this morning. It was simply a heavy market with the holders who have been hoping against hope that some accident might happen which would cause a reversal of the senti- taking their losses with as good grace as possibl Yesterday and to-day many stop loss orders have | come out and more are expected at each future de- cline.

Business in mining stocks was quiet during the early part of the day and even on the noon ses- sion sales were smaller than on the preceding day. Prices were strong, however, and Chollar, Potosi, Hale & Noreross and several other leading stocks were a few cents higher than on Monday. Values were generally maintained on the after- noon call, with no excitement. The close was steady. On the Bond Exchange | Market-st.
