Minneapolis September Sells
Down to 83c, Against 86c,
High Yesterday.
Good Weather Northwest, and
Denial of Yesterday's South
west Damage Reports.
The Local Situation and the For
eign Advices Favorable' to
i Strength.
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, May 19.
B} 11 o'clock today wheat was down almost
8c from yesterday's high point for Minneapolis
September and July. Good weather over the
northwest started general selling which increased
when the favorable forecast was posted. Sep
tember opened lower at 85*40 and sold to 8314c.
ad July opened at $1.03% and went to $1.01%.
Stop-loss orders from small-lot traders were
reached and considerable wheat went overboard
In this way. Chicago July was weak altho
the heaviest selling in Chicago during the lat
ter part of the decline appeared to be in Sep
tember. So far as the crop reports were con
cerned, they were unfavorable as ever. The
southwest sent some very bad ones. H.
Jones, who has been in the winter wheat fields
tor some time, wired that Oklahoma promises
poorly and is going backward. More rain fell
ver Kansas, and while reports differed and
pinions differed also, general opinion was that
these rains are a bad thing. Dodge City had
1.70 inches, and it was raining there and
Wichita this morning. Rust is said to be
Spreading Against the bad reports there were
some decidedly good ones from reliable sources.
One long message to a prominent local house
Said that while there was damage, it was by
no means as serious as made out. and the ner
vousness was unwarranted. Whallon has a
message from Crosby of Chicago, who had sent
nothing bad so far, but now says he thinks
there is something the matter in the south
west, and that while the reports may be ex
aggerated it will not do to ignore them. Other
houses had advices indicating that there is
rust and general backwardness in many places,
but whether this is serious -enough to warrant h~/-
a scare is still open to question. The north-
West showed up splendidly, good growing weath- I V
er everywhere, temperatures higher and up to
72 degrees above as far north as Winnipeg.
Minnesota and North Dakota should have fair
end warmer weather tonight and tomorrow If
tha forecast comes out all right, and South
Dakota is due for showers. I
The foreign news was bullish. Liverpool came
p l%@l%d to follow our strength of yester- JR,
day. This was not entirely due to American P"i
markets, for Argentina was found to have
shipped only 1.784,000 bu wheat for the week
against 3.296.000 in the week previous and
2 584,000 a year ago. Moreover, the bulk of
the shipments of last week went to the conti
nent, leaving Liverpool out of It. The local
news was not weakening, for, while receipts
Here were larger or 133 cars against 78. the
elevator stocks show a decrease of about 750.000
bu for the week Duluth got 8 cars against
Chicago 3 against 5, Winnipeg 64 against
79, Kansas City 42,000 bu against 21.000 and
St Louis 41 000 against 18,000.
The Modern Miller says: Weather conditions
for the week have been more unfavorable for
the maintenance of a satisfactory crop promise
over a large part of the winter wheat belt.
Ruins were plentiful and the temperature too low
most of the time to permit of a seasonable
growth. In low lands where there was stand
ing water, the plant lost color. Reports of rust
and fly have been more numerous, altho no se
rious damage from this source is indicated as
yet. The condition of crop has improved in.
Texas, where the harvest will begin about .Tune
1. The plant has made favorable progress gen
erally south rt the Ohio river. The crop as a
Whole is in need of clear and warm weather.
Primary receipts 343,000 bu against 147,000.
Clearances wheat and flour, 124,000 bu.
The market went lower at the close, but Min
neapolis September appeared? to be well snp
ported at 83c and would not go under, altho other
Options went to new low points. The closing
break was on a run of reports to large houses
and from reliable sources, discrediting the sensa
tional damage talk of yesterctay. One from Port
Worth, Texas, said the damage had been greatly
exaggerated, nd tht the outlook was favorable
s could be desired. Another came from Enid
and said there was absolutely nc cause for the
Sensational reports, that the damage does not
Xceed 10 per cent and that the wheat so far
from going backward had made unexpected gains
for the week Nicollet, who was widely quoted
yesterday, also sent denial of the most serious
Quotations, and said that he figures on Oklahoma
for 20,000,000 bu wheat, and has made no esti
mate on the Indian teritory

HEAVY PROFIT-TAKING EARLY IN THE
WHEAT MARKET DAY.
Chicago, May 10.-General belief that jcrop
damage reports had been greatly exaggerated
caused heavy profit-taking in the wheat here
today, resulting in a weak market. More liberal
receipts in the northwest also tended to in
cvease the selling pressure. An advance of over
Id at Liverpool failed to check the declining
tendency in this market. July opened %2?%
to %@lc lower at SS%c to 88%c. and sold oft
to 88c. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago re
ported receipts of 164 cars, against 90 cars last
week and 91 cars a year ago.
Prices continued to decline until July had
dropped to 86%c. The market lacked any ma
terial support, shorts being the best buyers.

account as well as a continuance of the liquida
tion noted yesterday. On the decline some of

profits, apprehending possibly a renewal of bull
manipulation on any further decline, and the
market during the early session was quiet and

DECLINES MASK THE OPENING IN
WALL STREET.
United States Steel Buns Off on Large
SalesDeclines Invite Baying by
Short Interests, but Rally Does Not
HoldWestern Stocks Suffer.
New York, May 19.The American department
ni the London stock market was violently un
settled thij morning and opening prices were
lower here in sympathy. Declines ran to 1% and
1% in St. Paul, Luited States Steel preferred,
Amalgamated Copper, Locomotive and Lead and
to a point in Reaaing. Northern Pacific, New
York Central, Rock Island, Illinois Central,
Sugar, United States Steel, American Car and
Colorado Fuel. There were running sales of
17,000 shares of United States Steel at 27% and
27, compared with 28 last night.
After the initial declines had proceeded to a
level attractive for the short interest, stocks
began to be picked up and there was a pretty
general recovery. Union Pacific, Southern Pa
cific, Reading, Louisville & Nashville, Atchison,
Illinois Central, Brooklyn Transit Sugar, Con
solidated Gas, Locomotive and Smelting re
bounded to fractionally above yesterday's clos
ing prices, and Tennessee Coal and Metropolitan
Street Railway to 1%. Before this result had
been attained a number of Important additions to
the opening losses were made, ranging from 1 to
1%. Renewed offerings on a large scale under
mined the market again and there was a general
drop in which some of the western stocks and
specialties sold lower than at the start, notably
Union Pacific, Atchison, New York Central, Penn
sylvania and the United States Steel stocks.
The market met support again, but losses
were only partly made up as a rule before the
demand died out and left the trading almost
stagnant. Northern Pacific-' rose 2 over last
night and lost it again. Fort Worth & Denver
City Stamped gained 5%, Consolidated Gas 1
and Metropolitan Securities 2%. There were
losses in New York, Chicago & St. Louis of
3%, General Electric 3. AVestinghouse Electric 5
and Snuff 9%.
Bonds were heavy at noon.
Some sympathetic effect resulted from a late
decline to the low level by the United States
Steel stocks. Evidences, however, of a de
mand for Union Pacific and St. Paul at conces
sions brought those stocks to about the previous
close, and the general list stiffened. North-Wes
tern and Kansas City Southern preferred ran off
3 poincts. Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago & St.
.Louis 4 and Louisville & Nashville, and Westing
house Electric 7.
Prices Fall Off Again.
There was some further selling which car
ried a number of leading stocks back to the
lowest, but support was again forthcoming. There
were losses for Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis
& Omaha of 5%, Gieat Northern Preferred 3,
Colorado & Southern first preferred 2 and West-,
inghouse Electric 11. Hocking Valley and Peo
ple's Gas rose a point. Pressure was renewed
against the United States Steel stocks and Amal
gamated Copper and they were forced to the
low points of the day. Closing was weak.

WEATHER A DRAG
ON RETAIL TRADE
Dun's Reports Say Bain Has
Checked Improvement in
Crop Prospects.
New York, May 19.Dispatches to Dnn's Re
view indicate that retail trade in seasonable
lines has been seriously handicapped by adverse
weather. Excessive rain in many sections has
als checked the improvement in" crop prospects.
Spring trade at Boston }s developing slowly in
retail clothing and dry goods awl this condition
prevails thruout New England. At Philadelphia
machine shops are well employed, but the whole
sale dry goods trade is quiet and collections
only air. Manufacturers are all busy at Read
ing. At Pittsburg building activity increases
and seasonable lines of merchandise are in good
demand. Conditions are favorable at Baltimore
and collections improving.
Hardware salesmen have returned to Atlantta
and inventories are being taken. Trade at Lou
isville is unfavorably affected by the Chicago
strike, low-priced cotton and excessive rain.
Other conditions are favorable. Merchandise
distribution to jobbers and manufacturers at New
Orleans is up to the average. At Kansas City
wholesale business is still satisfactory. The
movement of merchandise at St. Louis continues
liberal.
The weather and the teamsters' strike have
prevented best results at Chicago, but consump
tion of commodities continues, large factories are
active and building operations expand.
Unfavorable wetaher at Cincinnati makes re
tail trade dull, but factories are busy and pay
ments prompt. Trade is quiet at Toledo except
in agricultural requirements and building opera
tions. Retail trade at Cleveland is quiet because
of unfavorable weather, but manufacturing is
active and large shipbuilding operations are In
progress.
Excessive rains has retarded business at Min
neapolis, but sales still compare favorably with
last year's. St. Paul reports the distribution of
merchandise unfavorably affected by the weather.
Business at Omaha is good. San Francisco re
ports real estate transfers and building opera
tions very large.
Bank exchanges this week at all leading cities
in the United States are $2,478,500,736, an in
crease of 33. per cent over last year and 21 per
cent over the corersponding week in 1903. There
are small losses at Baltimore, Pittsburg and
Cleveland, compared with 1903, but at every
other city exchanges are larger than in either
of the two preceding years.
CROPS ADVANCE SLOWLY
COLD AND WET WEATHER HAS
BEEN A HANDICAP, BUT BET-
TER PROGRESS IS EXPECTED.
All small grain crops except flax have been in
the ground for some time, but have made very
slow growth owing to cold, wet weather, says
the Van Dusen-Harrington report. There has
been no real damage reported, and it is the
general belief that, with the arrival of warm,
clear weather, there will be immediate and
satisfactory growth.
The Red Lake Falls river has been very high
and overflooded some wheat lands in that dis
trict, but the Red River valley proper and
North Dakota, speaking of it as a ^vhole, are
in unusually good condition. Lowlands which
osdlnarily have been seeded late worked up
very well this spring and were seeded early.
Nothing further can be said with reference
to the progress of plants from rusted seed.
It is the general belief, however, that the
cold has been beneficial to this plant and has
permitted it to make good root.
Southern Minnesota and South Dakota farm
ers are anxious for warm weather for corn
planting. A portion of the corn ground was
planted about three weeks ago, but there has
been little or no planting during the last three
weeks because of freauent rains.

bearish factor.. A decline of 5@10c in the price
