ADVANCED PRICES
Source of Strength Is Puzzle to
Bears Who Work for a
Break.
In spite of bearish effort to break
Wheat indices after the quick advance,
the market remained strong, and the
level was stubbornly contested. The
source of the strength remained a puz
v.li.-. as the cash news was practically
the same as that on which the market
was bulled, and which lost its effect
iveness. A firmer London market" and
absence of selling pressure gave a
slightly higher market in stocks during
the early j>urt of the session, but it was
without significance, and at the ad
vances the customary stagnation set in.
The restless traders sold a few stocks
in the last hour and the close was dull
and fiat.
What the Brokers Say.
M. Doran & Co.'s Chicago grain let
ter says:
Wheat—The trade in wheat was smaller,
but the market proved to be an active
one, within comparatively narrow range.
The professional element was bearish,
working for a break after the quick ad
vance, but the price .level., was. rather
stubbornly maintained and the -.source- of
strength was somewhat "■ puzzling.: The
cash news" was ' muclT of the same'char- ,
aeter as that on which :the market • was
bulled, but on advance the effectiveness
is to some extent lost except in the
May, which continues to move upward.
Minneapolis stocks decreased 100, bush
els so far this week, with two-thirds
of the milling- capacity working:. For
eign markets lost Tuesday's advance.
The weather at present and prospective
is seasonable in respect to precipitation
and temperature. Just prior to the close
there was a report of 50,000 bushels of
No. 1 northern sold at over May; New
York places export sales at 11 loads and
Liverpool closed Me to %c lower.
" —Corn was rather erratic, weak
early and later strong on covering by
local professionals, influenced no doubt by
the tone of the market. This buying has
' probably left the pit situation weak at
the advance. The news was scant, but
bearish. The demand Is limited. The
lake situation is further complicated by
strike of elevator men, ay/& boats which
'liavc reached Buffalo are unable to un
load. Country purchases throughout Illi
nois and Nebraska steadily increased in
volume: 100.000 bushels of No. - corn were
loaded from store Tuesday, and contracts
for 85.000 bushels canceled. The sample
market was quiet and prices unchanged.
i Liverpool was %c lower.
Oats —There was a dull trade, with the
tendency apparently influenced largely by
the course of corn. At the start there
was" a general disposition to sell on fine
weather and slack demand. Private crop
■^advices are of uniform optimistic charac
ter. The cash market was weak and %c
to lc lower. There was some advance
in the September on covering. ...
O'Connor & Van Bergen's corre
spondents say of stocks:
While the market showed a distinctly
strong tone, the volume of business was
very small. Several 'specialties were
- moved up sharply on various rumors.
Realty preferred the most prominent, it
being said the stock will greatly benefit
by the proposed plan of reorganization to
in- made public shortly. Gates people, as
usual, wore credited with the movement.
There have been no new developments
of importance, the improvement in prices
has been due partly to short eoverir^ and
partly in the theory that the selling had
reached a limit. The continued strength
in the Steel stocks has made a favorable
impression. Bankers are beginning to ne
gotiate loans abroad and if cheerful feel
ing now existing there continues ! will
pay them off in securities later. There
stems to be an easier appearance to i x
change, and while more gold is probable
to go out on account of the Panama mat
ter, we believe other demands are in
a. great measure satisfied.
J. C. Geraghty & Co.'s correspondents
say of stocks: _
, Logan & Co.: The list generally shows
about as little change from Tuesday as
is possible. Neither 'sphere any change
In the character of the news or current
operations. An indifferent public, a lib
eral short—interest and further exports
of gold are the principal features. Bank
ers are trying to head off the latter by
selling long time bills of exchange. We
see nothing in the outlook except dull
ness. The short interest may cause tem
porary rallies, but a sustained advance
at this time ems hardly likely. The
whole situation is dull and uninteresting.
Paine. Webber & Co.: After a fur
ther rally this morning: the market
sagged off all day. It seems the
buying was mostly for foreign account.
.There is a rumor from abroad that some
thing is being done in diplomatic circles
that may result in the early termination
of the Russian-Japan war. This was
probably the cause for the bullishness. As
yet we see little" in the situation to en
courage one to trade cither way. The
price of copper was again reduced *»c on
tho metal exchange.

STOCKS MOTIONLESS
IDLENESS AND NEGLECT PREVAIL
IN WALL STREET
Outlook for Values Is Apparently as
Favorable for One Side as the Other
—Situation Hinges Largely on the
Money Market.
NEW YORK, May 18.—The stock
market fell into idleness and neglect
again today. So far as there was any
sentiment prevailing on the outlook
for values the adherents of one view
were counterbalanced by those of the
other. The consequence was a dead
lock in which prices were held nearly
motionless. Holders refrained from
selling, this relieving 1 the market from
the pressure to which it has been sub
jected recently, but buyers were en
tirely indisposed to follow prices up
wards. The result was virtual stagna
tion. London sent over higher prices
this morning', the extreme ease of
money there causing some strength for
securities. The response here was
short lived and the resumption of gold
engagements for exports put an end
to the advance. The ordering of
$2,500,000 in coin at tfce subtreasury
for shipment tomorrow showed that
the exhaustion of the supply of gold
bars left the shippers necessities still
uncovered and compelled the resort
to coin.
The supposition that the easing of
money and the stiffening of rates here
consequent upon the transfers of gold,
had proceeded far enough to prompt
borrowing abroad on New York ac
count so as to check the outgo of gold,
proved illusive, in spite of the drop
ping of London discounts below 2 per
cent and the likelihood that the Bank
of England will reduce its discount
rate tomorrow. Beyond tomorrow's
shipments of gold, which will reach
about $5,000,000. all available supplies
of gold bars for the future were be
spoken by pTospeetive shippers. The
opinion, based on informal intimations
from intending shippers, is that prob
ably $15,000,000 in additional gold coin
will go out. The aggregate of the
outgo on the present movement, be
ginning early in April and counting
only actual engagements up to date,
has reached over $55,000,000.
Uneasiness Is Revived.
With the abandonment of the idea
that the gold movement was about to
reach its limits by the borrowing on
sterling, there was a revival of the un
easiness caused by the apparently un
bridled-outflow of gold with an influ
ence in aggravating the dullness of the
stock market. The quick subscription
for the Burlington bond issue was fa
vorably regarded, but the break in the
new Japanese bonds on the curb to
within % of the issue price was an
offsetting influence. The selling seem
ed to be of the newly allotted holdings
on which there seemed to be eagerness
to realize immediately. There was a
subsequent recovery on buying by
bankers.
The weather was favorable to the
crops, but without any effect on stocks.
Attention was attracted by the export
demand for the new crop of wheat as
promising to better a condition which
is one of the depressing factors in the
present situation. A reduction in the
price df copper was faintly reflected
in the movement of Amalgamated. Un
successful efforts to end the strike of
vesselmen on the lakes made up a de
pressing factor. Railroad earnings re
ported were not important, but offered
no stimulation to values. United
States Steel preferred ran off to %
under last night's price on the late
publication of the uncheerful report of
the iron outlook by the Iron Age. The
closing tone was steady and the aver
age level of prices was very close to
that of last night.
Bonds were dull and rather heavy.
Total sales, par value, $1,140,000.
United States bonds were unchanged
on call.

MAY WHEAT ADVANCES
ELEVATOR BINS PRESENT A FAM
ISHED APPEARANCE
Opening Bids Show an Unexpected De
mand From Milling Centers—Prices
Bulge, Fall Off and Recover Only
Partially.
CHICAGO, May 18.—The famished
appearance of elevator bins caused
May wheat to make a net advance of
l%c a bushel. While the gain was
regarded as significant, trading in the
May delivery was extremely small.
The July option closed about where it
did the day before. Corn is up %c.
Oats and provisions show little change.
Early influences in the wheat situa
tion were conflicting and a popular be
lief that values would weaken after
two days of pronounced strength was
strengthened by a failure of Liverpool
cables to show a reflection of yester
day's advance. The opening bids,
nevertheless, showed an unexpected
demand from the milling centers as
well as a renewed buying tendency by
foreign interests and initial sales of
July were at 87% cto 87% c, a shade
lower to a shade higher, with Septem
ber %c lower at 81%0. Small receipts
here and at Duluth and small contract
stocks appeared to be kept well in
mind by speculators and the demand
from the Northwest was taken to in
dicate an awakening to the heavy in
roads upon the milling supplies. A
report, soon denied, that the acreage
of spring wheat was small by com
parison, caused a temporary bulge
which carried July to 88c and Septem
ber to 81%@81%e. The refutation of
the report caused the prices of these
options to yieW to 87*4@87%c and
8114 c, the lowest point for the day.
The close showed some of the loss re
gained upon renewed general buying
on the break, and final figures were:
July, 35"%^, a shade under yesterday's
close: September, unchanged at 88% c.
Clearances of wheat and flour were
equal to 134,574 bushels against 463.
--713 for a period of three days a year
ago. Primary receipts were 183,900,
compared with 220,400 last year. Min
neapolis and Duluth reported 78 cars
received, which, with four locally, one
grading contract, made 82 cars for the
three points against 81 last week and
122 a year ago.
Corn Rises a Little.
Corn was indebted for its firmness
mainly to the strength of wheat. Of
ferings, like the demand, were indif
ferent, and the tone was heavy. July
was unchanged to a shade higher and
September at yesterday's closing fig
ures. After a dip of %@ Vie and hesi
tation around bottom prices, strength
in outside markets and the tone of
wheat started some buying by pit
traders who had sold short and a bet
ter tone developed. The close was %c
better for July at 48c, after the market
had sold up to 48% cat its best. Sep
tember closed %c higher at 47% c, %c
under the high price of the day. Lo
cal receipts were 39 cars.
- Oats held up largely because other
grains did, but the trade was limited
and the advance small. The close
showed July unchanged at 38 %c, after
having sold up to 3S%e. September
closed %c higher at 30% c.
Provisions were firm after small
early declines on the free hog move
ment reported from Western points.
There was fair buying by brokers
whose purchases were credited to the
packers. Final trades in July pork
were at $11.35 @ 11.37, a shade over
yesterday's close. July lard closed a
shade higher at $6.47@6.50. July ribs
were 2%0 higher at $6.50.

Indian Uses a Gun.
SHAWANO, Wis., May 18.— Partic
ulars of the fourth Indian killing—in
this county in ten weeks were brought
here today by officers from the Green
Bay agency at Keshena, who reported
the death of Moses Shawanopanass at
the government hospital from a revol
ver wound inflicted by George McCall.
Both men are of the Menomonie tribe.
Shawanopanass and other Menomo
nies started Sunday morning for South
Branch to attend a medicine dance at
the home of one Palmo, also a Menom
onie. Here McCall discharged his re
volver. One version is that he was
testing the revolver by shotting into
the ground, and another that he was
trying to shoot a member of the party.
While one Indian caught McCall
from behind, Shawanopanass caught
his wrists and was shot through the
abdomen. McCall then disappeared.
He is well-to-do and one of the most
Influential members of the tribe. His
mother was a daughter of Chief Osh-«
kosh.
Judge Decides for Railroads.
AUSTIN. Tex., May 18.— The rail
ways and express companies won the
first contest today in the anti-trust
suits recently brought against corpo
rate interests generally by the district
attorney here in the name of the state
of Texas. The suit passed upon today
in the district court here.was the one
in which the Missouri. Kansas & Texas
road and the Pacific "Express company
were being sued for violating the anti
trust laws by entering into a con
spiracy to keep any other express com
pany from doing business over* the
"Katy" system. The damages asked
for in this case and some forty others
of a similar nature amounted to some
thin? like $20,000,000.
Judge Brooks ruled in favor of the
corporations by sustaining their de
murrer and denial in tot© of any viola
tion of the anti-trust law. This was a
test case. Plaintiffs aver that they will
