At Nevr York yesterday, money on call was easy at l?i?T2 per rent. Prime mercantile paper, Stttf per cent. Sterling exchange was heavy with actual business in bankers' bills at JI.87U for de mand and Jt.84,5i4.S4si for sixty days; posted rates. Ji.S3i and Ji.SS'; commercial bills, J4.3üfii.S4. Bar silver ".was 59Tc; silver certificates, &?Slc; Mexican dollars, 472C. At London, bar silver was 27 9-16d an ounce. Several Incidents helped profes?lonal trad ers in putting up prices of stocks yester day. A selling movement In the last fifteen minutes of trading, however, made some wide breaches in values and the closing was rather weak, but with net gains saved for the majority of stocks. Sugar contin ued to occupy a preponderating share of attention. A further advance of 10 cents a hundred pounds In the price of refined sugar was the occasion of the strength In the stock. The American company led in the advance, and its competitors in the trade quickly followed. Wall street gave much attention to the movement of repre sentatives of the various companies, as bearing on tho problem whether the rival interests had or had not come to an agree ment for a settlement of. the trade war. The moderate price movement in the stock. In view of the news, seem to indicate that the short Interest had len largely elim inated. After advancing something over two points, profit-taking turned the price backward. . London bought stocks here to the extent of 20.000 shares, Louisville being in special demand for that account. This buying, which gave the opening tone to the market, was based on the favorable war news and the easier money condition in London. The eve of a holiday invariably leads to the closing up of accounts and buying for the shorts was an element of strength yesterday. Some relief was felt at the nonoccurrence of further financial difficulties. The Iron and steel stocks were strong, led by Steel Hoop on the favorable annual statement- Confirmation of reports " of an arrangement for the absorption of Standard Gas by the Consolidated Gas Company were a favorable Influence. Rail road earnings, so far as reported, were good. The room traders were disposed to the bull side on the general grounds that It was due for a rise In view or the nrm- nc?s displayed in face of the two broker age failures last week and this. Notwith standing these various elements of strength It cannot be said that the sentiment for an advance was very deep-rooted. Uneasi ness continues over th reactionary ten dency of business, and especially over the decline in freight traffic and well defined rtDorts of cuttlnar of rates. The need of rain In the spring wheax belt is also a cause ox. anxiety. The bond market was very dull and the price movement irregular. Total sales, $1.533,000. United States bonds were un changed in bid quotations. Following are the day's share sales and the closing bid prices.

On the wholesale streets, unless It be with the grocery houses, hardwares iron and leather deal ers, trade was. rather slow yesterday, which is not unusual on the last days of a month. Still, prices, as a rule, are well maintained, and fluc tuations in values are very few. Provisions carry an easier tone, but are moving freely. Choice butter, fresh eggn and fat. healthy poultry are In active demand at prices quoted. Put few young chickens are yet offered. Druggists are having a big- trade in oll:, paints. lad. glass. etc. With the dry goods houses it is rather quiet, as usual in late May and early June. The crockery snd glassware houses are havlnir a big trade. On Commission row large quantities of fruits and early vegetables are being handled. and. with a good supply, prices are very reason able. Some line Indiana strawberries are now on the market. The wool and flour markets are qult at unchanged price. All grades of refined sugar were advanced 10 cents ter I1) lbs at New York yesterday.

Damage claims from France and sympathy with corn sustained wheat to-day In the face of rain In the Northwest, July closing ilUc over yester day. July corn closed Utt.c up and July oats a shade improved. Provisions closed steady and practically unchanged. "Wheat opened lirm. July a shade over restcrday at 67-4 tUc on the strength of cables.

The crop news from all winter wheat sections Kansas and the adjoining regions in the Southwest excepted were of the most 'glowing char acter. The Indiana crop was said to be threatened with almost total destruction, and the Ohio reports were nearly as gloomy. Later in the day shorts covered on retorts of drought and cold weather in Franco and because of the unfavorable do mestic report aforementioned. In this way most of the wheat sold early was repur chased, and July rallied to 67Vic closing lirm UflUc'over yesterday at 67'a67Hc The strength developed by corn was also a support. New York reported twelve loads taken for export. Clearances in wheat and Hour were equal to 433,OnO bu. Primary re ceipts were 533,000 bu. Minneapolis and Du luth reported 438 cars, against 32S last week. Local receipts were flfty-six cars, four of contract grade. The cash trade here was slow and the speculative business quiet. There was a large local trade m corn, and prices were higher. Cables were high er, the weather was considered too wet, country acceptances were small and there was an improvement in the cash business. Under these influences July, which had opened unchanged to a shade lower at 3c to 267A'(737c, advanced to 37VsC and closed firm U$isc over yesterday at 37141t37sc. Local receipts were 618 cars. Oats were quiet but firm under the lead ership of corn and because of the fair cash demand. A report that the oats con dition in the United Kingdom was the worst in years was also a help. Receipts here were COS cars. July sold between 21V&C and 2180. and closed a shade over yester day at 21ic. Trade In provisions was of a very quiet order, but prices were well maintained, as there was a good shipping demand.

CHICAGO, May 29.-The Farmers' Re view, in its weekly report concerning the condition of spring and winter wheat, to morrow will say: In Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan the crop has suffered consid erably from fly and lack of rain. In many counties less than one-fourth of a crop is promised, and many fields have been plowed and sowed to corn. An average crop Is promised in Ohio. In Missouri wheat is heading in good shape, with no damage to speak of from flies. Drought prevails in all parts of Wisconsin and Minnesota, and in some sections the condition Is poor, but on the whole an average crop Is expected. The prospects In Kansas and Iowa are flat tering, especially In the former State, where winter wheat is in excellent condi tion. In Dakota spring wheat Is in fair shape, but soon will suffer unless the drought is broken. AT NEW YORK. Moat Stnples Show a Firm Ton -The . Advance in Sugar. NEW YORK. May 20.

The receipts of cattle were only moderately large, and comparatively few good steers were represented; In fact, there were none goou enough to command top prices. The demand, consequently, was not urgent, but all were finally sold at quotably steady prices. There was an active market for all good cows and heifers, and sales for the most part were at strong prices . ... . i. r..n- COmparea Wit II tne CIOSC Ol iasi wer., uns and calves were also steady. The best steers here sold at $3.20, heifers at $3 and cows at $4.63.

The hog market opened with all buyers in the field, and, while there was no really urgent demand, there was a very fair in quiry from all points. At the start sales men tried to advance prices, but they were soon convinced that this could not be done, and finally, on a basis of fully steady prices compared with yesterday, the trading was active and a good clearance was made. A few loads that arrived late were sold promptly at fully as good prices as at any time during the day.

The receipts of sheep and lambs were not large enough to invite active competition be tween buyers, and therefore the trading was a little sluggish and prices rather In clined to weakness, except, possibly, for the handy light stock. It appears that buyers are very well supplied for the pres ent, and it is reasonable to expect that there will be some rally In prices when the conditions are different.
