Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce,
ttklay 25.Not a pound of pressure either
(way was on wheat this morning. The
cnarket sagged a little and then regained,
and made small price changes just as a
few buying or selling ordera happened to
come in. The pit traders confined their
operations to a few little scalping sales
and the buying orders from the outside
ran July above 94c, but trade was very
light and soon the balance turned to the
telling side and it was down around 93%c.
fThe weather, unseasonably cool and rainy
everywhere, had effect upon sentiment,
tout only in a way sufficient to stop selling
Puying.e

The market is again waiting for
something to turn up. Budapest was tip
l%c and this encouraged holders, who
took it to mean something bad in the way
of Hungarian or Rumanian crop news, but
Paris and Berlin were lower, and Liver
pool %@%c off and the general foreign
tone dull. Minneapolis has a decrease of
675,000 bu so far in elevator stocks. This
tatbrning there were 170 cars here against
2, Duluth had 5 against 16, and Chicago
20 against 28. St. Louis had 22,000 bu
against 26,000 and Kansas City 18,000

The Iowa state crop bulletin says: THe
ilrst half of the week was cloudy and cool
with light rainfall the test half mostly
clear and sufficiently warm to bring tha
average temperature about up to normal.
Conditions were generally favorable for
field work and the time has tieen well ih
proved. Reports are that the bulk of the
corn area has been planted in the greater
part of the state, but in a few counties,
mainly in the southern districts, field
work has been delayed by wet soil and
plowing and planting operations are likely
to continue for a week or more. The ag
gregate acreage is unusually large. There
are numerous reports of replanting neces
sitated by defective seed or too deep
planting. Complaints of this kind, howr
ever, have been heard quite frequently Tn
all seasons. Cultivation of early planted
fields Is in progress.
Following is the forecast: Illinois, In
diana, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Kan
eas, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota,
South Dakota, showers and thunderstornys
to-night and Thursday. North DaKota,
partly cloudy, cooler to-night.

CHICAGO GRAIN
BEARISH SENTIMENT PREVAILS I N GRAIN
PITSPRICES LOWER.
Chicago, May 25.Sentiment in tha wheat pit
to-day was bearish, due to perfect weather and
to weak Liverpool cables. Trading was largely
of a scalping nature. July opened a shade to
%@%c lower, at 86%@86%c, sold up to 86%c,
but eased off again to 86% c. Minneapolis, Du
luth and Chicago reported receipts of 129 cars,
against 82 cars last week and 136 cars a year
ago.
The market continued weak thruout the entire
eession. Bearish crop reports from the southwest
were accompanied by numerous selling orders
fiom St Louis The -weakness of May had a de
pressing influence on distant deliveries. After
selling down to 85%c July closed at 86c, a net
loss of %@VlO.

Dickinson, N. D., May 25.A steady
rain is falling, the first for many weeks.
Crops of all kinds are looking exception
ally well. The weather has been too cold
and dry for grass, but grain is deeply
rooted.
Sioux Falls, S. p., May 25.The ground
has been placed in first-class condition by
the recent rains, and crops are making
good progress. It is the general opinion of
farmers that notwithstanding the lateness
of the season crops of all kinds, owing to
the excellent condition of the soil, will be
as far advanced the latter part of June
as is customary at that period.
Mitchell, S. D., May 25.The crop con
ditions in this section are the best in
many years. Over 75 per cent of the corn
is three or four inches above ground and
is making a fine growth. The condition
of wheat is highly satisfactory to the
farmers. The cool weather has caused
wlieat to stool in. tlie best possible sba.pe
and it is growing strong and thick.
Miller, S. D., May 25.The recent rain
has done wonders for this country. The
old, enemies, wild buckwheat and Russian
thistle, were getting rather the best of the
early sown wheat, but the cooler weather
and excessive moisture are unfavorable
for them. A. great crop of all grains and
a record-breaker for hay seems assured.

New York, May 25.Rather free offer
ings carried opening prices in stocks to
day a fraction below last night all around.
Declines ran to a half in a number of
the leaders. Metropolitan Street Railway
lost a point and Locomotive preferred 1%.
The market halted for a while, but as
the opening losses did not invite pur
chases, selling was resumed. Union Pa
cific was conspicuously weak,' yielding a
point to 82%.
Other favorites dropped below their first
prices, and there was renewed liquidation
of the Bries. New Haven declined 1%
Continental Tobacco preferred and Snuff
preferred gained
Prices rallied before 11 o'clock and held
more firmly in the absence of selling pres
sure.
A number of prominent stocks rose
slightly above last night, notably Brooklyn
Transit, which gained The market was
exceedingly dull and uninteresting.
Bonds were steady at noon.
Prices were well sustained despite the
dullness, and a few of the specialties rose
further. St. Paul and Missouri Pacific
were decidedly firm.
It was hard to distinguish any move
ment of prices. Prominent railroad stocks
ruled near to yesterday's close, with the
general level below.
In the general sagging tendency Metro
politan Street Railway reacted again to
the lowest after recovering its early loss.
Republic Steel preferred lost 2, Brooklyn
Union Gas 1% and St. Louis Southwestern
preferred and Chicago Great Western pre
ferred "A" 1. The market hardened
again. Metropolitan and West Side Ele
vated preferred jumped 4. The closing
was about steady but listless.

MISCELLANEOUS
NEW YORK COTTON, May 25.The cotton
market opened steady at an advance of one
points to a decline of four points. This was a
very fair response to the cables with the new
crop months relatively easier under liquidation
following generally favorable weather accounts
and talk of possible showers in the dry sections
of the eastern belt. Trading at first was rather
less active of late and sentiment seemed very
mixed with a disposition to wait for some sign
of bull support. In the absence of this, the
market showed rather an easier tendency soon
after the opening, led by the new crop montEs,
which were sold off on the expectation, of rain in
eastern sections, with the general list at the
end of the first hour 6 to 10 points net lower.

AMERICANS ARE EASY
Bogus Doctor Arrested, Says It's a Cinch
to Pluck Them.
New York Sun Special Service,
New York, May 25.Maximilian Muller,
former hospital nurse, -who, while posing
as "Dr. Colby," committed several ingen
ious thefts by persuading men that they
needed his peculiar massage for heart dis
ease, has been arrested.
"While they waited for^him to go to the
drug store to get plasters, he stole all the
valuables in their clothes. When arraigned
in the police court Muller seemed in a
cheerful state of mind and frankly ad
mitted his thefts.
"Of all ready victims," said Muller, good
humoredly, "the American is the easiest
to pluck, and the more money he has and
the higher his reputation for shrewdness,
the easier he Is."
