ALEXANDER McADIE, Forecast Official. EASTERN MARKETS. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. | NEW YORK, May 10.—The stock market was | largely influenced to-day by the wheat market, | the movements in which unsettled the tone in | all speculative markets. No doubt successful speculators of yesterday in wheat immediately | placed a part at least of their profits in the stock markets. This kind of support had no | small part In the undertone of strength in stocks yesterday. To-day the wiping out of | paper profits and the tumbling of prices in | wheat resulting in the uncovering of margins Induced liquidation in the stock market. The market during the early part of the day ab- sorbed a very large line of offerings to liquidate profits and the selling for London account was also heavy again, total eales for that account being estimated at over 25,000 shares. The gen- eral demand for stocks through commission houses was sufficient to take up these offer- ings at a well-sustained level of prices. There was evidence also of the operation of -bull pools here and there in the list, notably in some of the low-priced stocks which are usually almost inactive and immovable. The strength imparted to these stoeks helped to sustain the market and with the rally from the opening weakness in the wheat market there came a period of aggressive strength in stocks which jitted prices substantially above last night's level. he late decline was effected on a much swaller. volume of offerings than was well ab- sorted in the morning’s dealings. Short selling by the bears was conspicuous. A slump of over four points in Tobacco also had. its effect in the late weakness. There were fractional Tecoveries before the close, which was firm at et losses of over a point in some cases. colder north.

From the standpoint of flucua- | tions the market was by far the wildest seen rs.

Liverpool showed a decline at the opening of 6%0 a bushel for May and fc for September. This was offset by & preliminary jump o. 9%o in July. But the second cables showed a sud- den slump in July also. This unlooked for procedure on the part of the English market caused a weak opening here. July began with declines of 3@lc. Trades were on a range of $117@1 18. Four subsequent quotations re- duced the price to $116. Here the supply of wheat suddenly vanished and quotations yet reached by the July option. May wheat was only heard from at long lnlgrvll!. Trad- ing in it began 2c lower at $1 78. The suo- ceeding sales were at §1 75, $1 80 and $18. It had occasional reactions to $1 80, but was not picked up. It was about 11 o'clock when July touched $1 25. It rebounded to §1 24, rallied to 1 25 and then took a steady downward course. top orders on long wheat seemed thick and close under the market. The downward fiight Was checked temporarily at around §117. Trade was narrow and ordinary orders were hard to execute. A quarter of an hour before the close & flood of wheat broke loose. ‘The selling was based largely upon the presumption that to-day’s Government crop report might be Scalpers ventured to put out short lines. July slumped in a couple of minutes from around $1 18 to $1 05, Most of the trades were a full cent apart. When the liquidation was exhausted, shorts tried to even up[ and the market rushed up again to 3115, closing at $1 14, a net loss of 6ic. May sold between 173 and $1 85, closing i0c net higher at 31 85, September, which sold early at $3%c, tumbled to 88c and closed at %0%c. Trade in corn was moderate.

WASHINGTON, May 10.—The May returns to the statisticlan of the Department of AgTi- culture show the acreage in winter wheat to be 5.7 per cent greater than the acreage last year, the comparison belng not that with the ucreage harvested In 1897, but with that sown in_the fall of 1596. While there Is an Increase of 26 per cent in Kansas, & more or less increase in every East- ern and Southern State and some increase also on the Pacific Coast, the large expansion thus indicated is to some extent offset by a decrease of 2 per cent In Indiana, 3 per cent in Ohio, 12 per cent in Iowa, 13 per cent in Missouri and 16 per cent in lllinois. The average condition of winter wheat 1s 86.5, against §0.2 on May 1 of last year. In the nine States with 1,000,000 acres or upward in this product the average areas follow Kansas, 105; Pennsylvania, 96; Michigan and Tennessee each, 9%; Missouri, §3; Indiana, §7; Tilinois, $6; Ohio, §%, and Californla, 26. Correspondents agree in_reporting the crop of California to be one of the smallest ever raised in the State. On the other hand the crop of Kansas bids fair to be the largest in its history. The average condition of winter rye is 94.5, EASTERN LIVESTOCK MARKET. CHICAGO, May 10.—CATTLE—Trade in cat- tle to-day was extremely dull.

WHEAT—The scramble for Breadstuffs in England and on the Continent continues and prices are steadily rising there. But this mar- ket Is largely governed by Chicago, which is in the grip of young Mr. Lelter at present, who is pulling and hauling it all sorts of ways, as sults his Interests. Thus, yesterday, it opened at $117 for July, rose 'to 312, declined to $107 and recovered to $111, while the bzrokers were watching the blackboard with bulging eyes, and yelling themselves hoarse on the cails between times. Of course, when the market bobs around like this it is almost impossible to give accurate quotations, but those below are mot far from the true figures, | The mbillers are about the only buyers at the moment, and are getting supplies wherever they can, but chiefly {rom Orcgon and Wash- ton.
