SR sgor il EASTERN MARKETS. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. NEW YORK, May 31L—To-day’s stock market was active and strong, but the activity and strength was not by any means uniformly distributed. The Grangers exercised a power- ful sustaining influence and Rock Island was the feature of the group. St. Paul closed the day with a net gain of over 2 points, the ad- vance being encouraged by published reassur- ances as to the permanent character of the improvement charged to the large operating expense for April The newly published statement of Burling- ton's April earnings with a similarly large proportion absorbed in operating expenses, was a drag on that stock early in the day, but its tone improved later and there was a net rise of 1%. The buoyancy in Rock Island was ac- companied by a notable show of strength in others of the Granger group. People’s Gas was the most conspicuous stock in the list and rose at one time 3% points, but lost nearly a point on realizing. Brooklyn Transit was also up nearly 2 points at one time. The recent rise in the iron stocks con- tinued to-day, Minnesota Iron asd Illinols Steel rising respectively 3 and 2% points. The racept entry into the directory of the Illinols company of a powerful financial interest has led to rumors of extensive combinations in the iron and steel bubiness and this is the ground of the rise in these stocks. Chicago and East- ern Iilinois rose 6% points and Northern Pa- cific preferred, Union Pacific preferred and Sugar aleo developed strength. A rise of 3% in Delaware and Hudson should also be men- tioned. 'The buoyancy of so large a number of important stocks was sufficient to carry the whole market upward, but the strength was much less notable at other points in the list, London bought stocks in this market and a beneficial effect generally was felt from the definite locating of Admiral Cervera's fleet in Santiazo barbor. But the benefit from this tactor was due principally to its giving freer play to conditions specially affecting different stocks. Manhattan and Metropolitan Street Rallway gave some positive evidences of de- pression and it was with difficulty that they rose at any time above Saturday’s level. A fatr amount of commission house ordars to buy had accumulated over the double holiday an helped on the rise.

NEW YORK, May 51.—The Evening Post's London financial cablegram says: The stock markets here were quiet but fairly firm to- | day on cheap money. Americans and Grand | Trunks were active and were quite the best was | markets. The buying of Americans chiefly for New York and the Continent, but there are signs of more buying here. Brazils | were easier on a reaction in exchange. Spanish 4's were stationary. The gold pre- mium was 83 to-day, after touching 76 on Saturda The Continental demand for gold at Tis 9id is becoming keener, but a scarcity of bills has forced the discount rate to a weak 2 per cent. WHEAT DEAL ENDED. NEW YORK, May 8L—The May Wheat deal | at Chicago and New York ended rather ig- nominiously to-day. Extreme weakness in- stead of the "fireworks” expected marked the closing scenes of one of the most famous corners in years. It had been confidently ex- pected for weeks past that the Chicago clique would run the price of May Wheat there to 52 per bushel and help the local market in pro- portion. Too much publicity, however, had Deen given the deal and farmers in all parts of the country scraped their bins and poured ‘Wheat into both of the above markets to catch the phenomenal prices predicted. At Chicago much of this Wheat was taken by clique opera~ tors as it arrived, but locally the grain be- came somewhat a’ drug on tne market. Only one result could follow such proceedings and that was a general downfall In prices, begin- uing here. Shorts were speedily filled up and for some ‘days the May option had been de- clining steadily, reaching to-day $1.15 at New York against sales at §1 81 early in the month. July broke in proportion, selling off to $1 043 after early sales to-day at $111% and closing at $107. News of all sorts from weekly sta- tistics of crop advices were all favorable to the bear attack which accomplished this de. cline in prices. The only support came from forelgn houses at the opening and a littls covering by shorts near the close. The featurs was a sale of 85,000 bushels No. 2 red, pre- sumably fo French account, at $1 0891 30 and near lots sales of contract Wheat amounting o0 175,000 bushels at $134@1 %, mainly $1 3 The latter was supposed to be for Leiter, ai tributed to a desire on the olique's part to stay the decline. Future price levels were dependent somewhat upon crop prospects un- less, as is already intimated, the cilque takes hold of July and booms it with the mid of European demand and a scarcity of cash sup- plies in this country.

The May option, ‘which left off Saturday at $1 75, ranged to-day ‘between §1 40 and $1 25, closing at the lower figure, a loss of 50c a bushel. The slump in decline of 14 from the last sale. there was no change. Total sales of stocks to-day were 505,500 whares, Including: 3600 Atchison, 24,800 do forred, §150 Baitimore and Ohlo, 3400 C. & 20,100 "Burlington, 15,200 Louisville ville, 16,600 Mantiotidn, 8900 Mo E s R s Frariione saond B May, coupled With the bearish statistics, enor- firm; gL Receipts, 18,630 packages, firm; West- in and secure profits. July had a sensational decline during which some longs sold out, It started at from $1 01 to §1 02 and was offered down from 02% a cent at each trade, until it had dro to 94%c. It recovered a portion of the decline later with a little help from Leiter. May, which closed Saturds at $1 75, opened to-day at $1 40, and July dropped to $12 in the first few minutes. The evident intention was to make a price for the heavy re- celpts that were offes in the sample mar- ket. The trade was confined to Leiter brokers, who were both buyers and sellers, and made what price they chose. The crop news at home and abroad could hardly have been more bear- ish. The visible supply increased nearly 600,000 bushels, where a small decrease was expected. July closed at 973%@9c, a loss of 6@6%c. Sep- tember closed 81%@s1%c. May closed at $1 25, a loss of 50c. ‘There was a quick dip in corn at the start on large receipts and the wheat break. It rallied very soon, however, on good buying and wet ‘weather reports. July closed %c higher. In oats a moderately large business was done. July closed ¥c higher. The firmness in provisions was largely as- scribed to the signing of the reclprocity treaty with France.
