ID WEAKER TONE IN WHEAT AND SMALL DECLINE The Week Starts With No Change in the Favorable Crop Outlook. CABLES WERE MORE UNSETTLED Firmer Continental Advices Based on . German Damaa-e— Visible De crease of 1,872,000 Ba. Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, May 6. -—wneat bad a break to start the week, los ing %c to noon. July sold to 73%®73%e. Sep tember to 69% c. There was nothing especially depressing in the tarly news, but some dispo sition was shewn to let go long lines and of ferings at first were free. With this came short selling, principally on the continued good crop outlook and absence of any new damage talk. Chicago corn opened wide and •scattered, finally settling Into weaker lines. Cables were mixed. Liverpool came ;%d higher to %d lower. Paris wheat was 15. to 80 centimes higher, and flour 40 centimes higher. Antwerp was unchanged, Budapoat %c up and Berlin lc higher. On later cables Liverpool turced weak, closing %d under Sit vrday. pffflkj&yjaawmmai In regard to the growing crop In this coun try the wea-t started with nothing especially new In the general' outlook, but with the previous repcrts of favorable conditions maintained. Kansas and Texas sent short reports and these were free from any sensa tional damage estimates. The railroads are beginning to give out their estimates of crop conditions more freely, and while these •re naturally expected to be optimistic, espe citlly at this time, yet they bear out the gen eral Impression that a heavy crop is in prospect, and are depressing to that extent. Advices from Europe are of a more confi dent nature, Antwerp writes that the weak ness ruling there for a time have turned to strength on the serious damage reported to the German crop, and the enormous demand from that quarter. Germany is said to be practically without any reserve. Particular stress Is put upon the fact that there has been no failure In Germany since 1891; that the acreage now planted Is smaller than at that time, and the population has Increased by 9,000,000. World's shipments for the week were 7,969,000 bushels, against 7,794,000 bush els last week, and 9,625.000 bushels a year ago. America shipped 5,001,000 bushels and Russia 1.352,000 bushels. Wheat on passage decreased for the week 160,000 bushels. The visible made a decrease of 1,684.000 bushels, and the total now stands at 46,668,000 bushels. Primary receipts were 573,000 bushels against 529,000 bushels last year. Clearances -wheat and flour 447,000 bushels. Minneapolis received 338 cars and Duluth 14, against 349 end 5 last year. Corn had a weaker turn. Minneapolis May opened at 41% c and sold off to 41% c. The close waa quiet. May closed at 72% c. July wheat closed steady at 78% c. September closed at 69% c. May corn closed at 41c; July corn, 41% c. .; 1 Cash business was on a basis practically the same as Saturday, except that the poorer quality offerings were a little slower. No. 1 northern sold In the main at the July price to %c under. Selections brought a shade better figures. No. 2 northern sold from -71c to 72c, averaging 71% c. There was a good de mand for No. 3 on a range of 66c to 69c. Re jected was slow, and the volume of trade •lght owing to moderate offerings, but no grade was active. The tendency was lower all around on these poorer lota and prices were lower. Some no grade went at 58c, which was low, considering the firm prices that have been ruling of late In these grades.

SCALE OF PRICES RISES ' RAPIDLY Advance Foreshadowed in the Lon don Market, Where St. 'Paul! Rises Several Points. - . New York, May Speculation in stocks began the day with spirit an enthusiasm that was quite equal to anything that had' been witnessed on the floor of '- the i New. York" ex change during the current'movement.: Seem ingly the public was imbued with a suspicion that the "powerful interests" who: are cred ited with the leadership of the market' bad engineered the action of Friday and Saturday with , the . purpose !of shaking out. weak and encumbering holdings to prepare for a fresh advance. The high; prices -; of • the «". railroad stocks supposed to be the subject of contest for the control and the resulting " great ex-. pense of the process of absorption, gave plausibility to . the theory that the capital ists looked ut.cn the reaction with com placence. There was In addition a rumor afloat which was an expansion of the recent consolida tion rumors,' to the effect that all the con testing railroad interests had come to a com promise, and were about to < consolidate prac tically all the leading railroad : systems of the country. 4 " . :\~ The opening sales on the tape showed 25,000 shares of United States^ Steel," 15,000 Atchison, 10,000 of, Union Pacific and i between 4,000 and 10,000 of half a dozen other stocks. Opening prices' varied as widely as 2 points . for the same stock aud the gains " over Saturday's prices were trom 1 to 4% '• points. Northern Pacific, which - quickly assumed the leader ship of'the market, went up easily, on much lighter transactions. A rise of 4 points in the bid price at the - opening' brought ' out ■ only 500 shares of stock and the bid'had to be raised 2% before . the next block '■ of , 1,500 shares came out. As the stock soared to higher regions much heavier offerings came out, but the stock .held obstinately near, the top when the rest of. the market dipped un der the flood. of -realizing orders brought cut on r the advance.; Northern Pacific rose more than ten points during the first hour and 13%. before noon. ,'■'• /<AV:: , The subsequent advance to above 125, was less violent. Realizing was very heavy ell through the iaarket during the morning and none of the leading stocks got back to the opening high level. The market, became quieter as the Sunday's accumulation of or ders began to te worked off. The sharp rise in the money rate also recalled some of last week's trepidation: on that score. The rise in Atchison to 88 and sharp gains in a num ber of less prominent stocks did not alto gether overcome a dropping tendency. The market became dull for a while and the active stocks Were without especial change either way. Canadian Pacific meanwhile wa3 going up at a lively rate and eventually got up 13% points above Saturday's close. Minneapolis & St. Louis. also made good progress, gaining 7. About 1:30 o'clock North ern Pacific : hot up at a rapid rate to 133, with transactions running into the thousands of shares. Ibe price later J yielded-to 128. Last week's close was 110. Western and Pacific storks were carried up in the rush, Atchison bringing 89,, but the general mar ket respond »d very slightly. The sensational -advance of 23 points in Northern Pacific kept the speculative interest alive, but the persistent heaviness of the United Sta'.ea Steel stocks and the high money rate were counteracting influences. Only a few stocks got tack to the opening high level at any time, but there were very wide advances 'In a : few unimportant stocks. Atcaison extended its rise to 6% and Union Pacific to 4%. Late in the day Cana dian Pacific re se 13%. Pittsburg. C...C.-& St. Louis 8%, Minneapolis & St. Louis 7 and the coalers generally, from 2 to 5.

Northern Pa cific recover.^ 3 points and the market Hard ened'in sympathy. The Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic common and preferred stocks rose about 5 points each. Minneapolis. St, Paul & Sault Ste.

Northern Pacific continued ,to be the lead ing feature of a market that was replete with numerous excUed variations. The stock met temporarily' checks in its upward surge, but eventually sold at 123%, against 130 last week's close. Other active stocks vibrated a point or more frequently but acted as if realizing was going on heavily under cover of the movement in Northern Pacific.
