New York Stock Market. XEW YORK, May 15.—There was some fur- | ther liquidation of stocks to-day which seemed @s much due to the mere lapse of time without any stock market awakening as 1o any posi- tive development in the situation. Selling by tired soldiers is Wall street’'s expressive phrase for this class of liquidation. It was not in large volume to-day, but it was effective in depressing prices on account of the almost to- tal absence of any buying demand. There was some demand at the lower level for bear account to cover contracts. So considerabls & price movement thet of to-day has come to be so rare an occurrence that the profes- slona) element is anxious to avail itself of the opportunity to take guick profits. The activ- ity was relatively much greater om the de- cline than on the recovery and the raily was not well held, prices sagging 2gain toward the last, making a lifeless and heavy closing. To-gay’s deciines carried a number of prom- inent stocks to the low level for the year in- cluding St. Paul, New York Central, Pennsyi- vania, Southern Pacific and the United States Steel stocks. The previous low level was at the time of the break in conmection with the Northern Securities decision and to-day’'s low prices were only fractionally below those t that time except the United States Steel stocks were notably firm to-day. though the deslings in them were small and the price varied. Reports of further reduction in the price of iron did not affect them, aithough the condition of the iron market was a continued | Call loan: |WaLE | Wisce | Consolidated Gas. . | Hocking Thunder storms | par_value, $1,705,000.

S i » ———— Bradstreet's on Trade. | — NEW YORK, May 15.—Bradstreet's to-mor- row will say: Weather and labor conditions have been far from perfect for the progress of retail trade, planting operations and growth and bullding, but the tendency to regard these drawbacks as merely temporary is still present, though the fesling as to labor disputes s that continued unsettlement will work serfous damage to all interests concerned. Wholesale trade also re- flects the above features, but so great is the confidence in the future outlook, optimistic views still rule. Railroad operations, now free from congestion, are very favorable—a fitting crown to the records of past prosperity being found in the April record of gain of 14 per cent in gross recelpts, which follows steady and Increasing gains made yearly In that month since 1896. #* marlket of the weakness of pigiron and reported increases in steel, but the latter is denled, and while production’ of iron is now in unprece- dented volume, rellable statistics of stocks of this material show no accumulation. ‘Wheat, including flour, exports for the week ending May 14 aggregate 4,007,596 bushels, against 3,201,680 bushels last week: 5,172,634 bushels this week last year, and 3,981,908 bushels in 1901. Wheat exports since July 1 aggrezate 105,600,000 bushels sgainst 224 839,- 362 bushels last season, and 184,021,941 bush- els in 1900.

WHEAT—Crop news in general has taken a |/ rathér unfavorable turn of late. Kansas re- ports bad ravages by Hesstan fly in some dis- tricts. Minneapol stocks will probably de- | crease about 1,350,000 bushels this waek. The Chicago letter of Bolton, De Ruyter & Co. s “The market was very quiet and steady. There have been enough bad erop re- orts to drive In a few shorts and prevent any but not enough to in- duce confident specuiative buying. The Mod- ern Miller 1s still mildly bullish. There is no improvement in the conditions in Illin Indiana and south of the Ohio Rives Missouri, where the crop has recently shown deterioration. Some of the commercial reports on this section are distinctly bad. The com- plaint of Hessian fly in Kansas is o far con- fined to two or three localities. Broomhall re- ports improved continental weather. Not much activity reported in the cash trade to-day. Bradstreet makes the weekly exports 4,008,000 bushels, against 5,172,000 last year. The weather {8 still dry on the Pacific Coast, and the San Francisco market is again .higher. great selling pressure, Crop news is by all 0dds the most important | factor. In this market futures are higher again, with continued talk of dry weather and a reduced yield.
