STRONGER CABLES BULL LOCAL WT New York Stocks a Trifle Easier and Dull Save for the Steels Wheat went up sharply yesterday on bullish news from abroad and steady buying. Stocks were dull and generally slightly shaded. What the Brokers Say M. Doran & Co.s grain letter says: The action of local cash and future markets was in a large measure a sur prise to the local talent. Foreign news and foreign buying gave the futures their initial impetus and the strong local cash market was a help later. Trade is al most entirely local, excepting late in the session, when southwestern houses took the long side. Liverpool came higher notwithstanding our decline Saturday. The advance was based on the inade quacy of supplies to meet the demand, and me estimate of 288.000.000 for the French crop. The quality of the latter is said to be good. The fractional decline in consols attracted some attention. The Ju|y options were up with the deferred futures, reflecting, no doubt, the advance in sample markets. Cash wheat at many of the outside points was weak. Re ceipts in the Southwest were large and the estimate for Kansas City tomorrow is 4UG cars. Weather conditions are en tirely satisfactory, but the forecast sug gests cloudy and showery conditions in the West and Southwest. Liverpool closed % to % higher. Estimated re ceipts tomorrow. 170 cars. Corn was dull but firm on a small and featureless trade. There was some early activity on strength in wheat and the report of high prices paid by feeders in Nebraska and lowa. There was some slight improvement in demand on Satur day and the period is approaching when the demand is usually very heavy. The receipts, however, "are* liberal with some tendency to increase. Weather condi tions are perfect for the crop. Liverpool closed 'ie higher. Estimated receipts to morrow, 527 cars. Oats—The action of the oats market was very nearly a replica of corn with no distinctive features and, helped by wheat, the options rated some higher. Lot al receipts. 102 cars, 12 of which were new crop. The cash market was weak •md lower for the poor oats and steady for the good ones. Harvesting conditions are of the-best. Estimated cars tomor row, ITS. Provisions—The market was lower for all product, but the volume of trade con tinues exceptionally light. Speculators are showing no disposition to trade while the very uncertain labor situation exists. Position at packing houses looks bad at present. Estimated hogs tomorrow, 6,000. J. C. Geraghty & Co.'s correspondents say of stocks: Logan ,& Bryan—These are a few exceptions, but the market generally is a mile easier. It is also extremely dull. There is continued activity in C. F. & 1. T. C. & 1., and Rep. Iron and Steel, but the rest of the list is very inactive. I in- jipproaching meeting of the direct ors of the steel corporation with its un certainty is making some liquidation in these issues. There aye also unfavorable reports concerning the dividend on Erie first preferred. The market as a whole however, is a waiting market. In the meantime the investment demand for bonds continues good, and there is we think, a big waiting list of would-be investors in stocks. We still advise their Paine Webber & Co.—The vague possi bility that trouble may grow out of the inspection of British ships by Russia and that it may result later in restricting exports of merchandise from this coun t£JCvto Japan caused the market to sell ofT today. The greater part of the sell ing was by traders, very few long stocks being thrown on the market, a. reaction at the time after the long continued ad vanco wni not be a bad thing. We do not think it will go very far. and after it has had its run we think good stockg wilj do to buy again. Copper was off n small fraction in London. There was better buying of most of the Coppers dur ing ihe greater part of the day , U.Connor & Van Bergen's market let ter on stocks follows: . \V;<tson & Co.—The market has been fft!rly hard today, in fact of rather extensive profit taking on theory a nat ural reaction was past due. a:id disap poiniuipnt over the absence of any public interest in the trading. Soo among the specialties. exiiibited considerable streiigrth on most satisfactory crop pros pects in the Northwest. In the opinion ol many, however, the stock is going ahead a.little too rapidly. Tennessee WJSfI * Iron advanced in sympathy with the shares of the Jarger trust, the latter responding to what was considered rather sood buying-, said to emanate from Pitts burg sources. Wlieat has advanced with steady buying all rabrning: it is said for jjlgn houses here have taken some 300.- HIDES, PELTS AND SUNDRiES " Quotations furnised by D. Bergman & Hides -.

The market was dull and sluggish. The recent notable firmness of the undertone in spite of the declining activity of the demand, was lacking to day and the market was inclined to sag. The movement was desultory- and showed no signs of the precipitation which usu ally marks the culmination of an active speculative advance. The action of the market was not clearly related to the news of the day and the droop of prices was in spite of some happenings favor able to values in the same way that bad news has been ignored on the recent ad vance. There was a direct reversal of the tone of railroad official comment on the outlook from that of last week which was apprehensive of a renewed period of hesi tation in business as a result of the crop scare. This week railroad officials assert that there has been a sudden revival of cheerful sentiment and an increased traffic offering in proportion. A season able increase in the grain movement is also reported although of moderate di mensions. Eastern railroads are not in entire har mony with these views. The early mar ket was assisted besides by some buying for London account. Professional traders in stocks are inclined to argue that favor able developments of this kind are what was counted upon when prices began to advance and while giving some warrant for the higher level of prices attained, there must be a limit to the advance warranted and remaining uncertainties must be taken account of. Cheerful re ports from the iron and steel trade were regarded in the same way. There is no* great doubt remaining among the specu lative contingent that the regular quar terly dividend on United States Steel pre ferred will be declared tomorrow. That stock was heavy, nevertheless, in com mon with the list. Some Sharp Advances Some of the stocks of the independent companies made sharp advances; Domes tic crop news was mostly favorable and the strength in the grain markets was generally attributed to the eagerness of a foreign demand and to* reports of un easiness over the political outlook abroad. Reports circulated that a re duction was probable in the output of an thracite with the period of light demand approaching, and some effect was mani fest on the coalers. The labor troubles made the most positive influence on the side of reaction. The threatened aspect assumed by the meat packers' strike was the news from one direction, while the determination of the cotton workers to go out on strike was reported from the New England side. A considerable retrench ment in the labor cost of railroad opera tion is a recognized necessity for the con servation of net earnings and the growing: spirit of discontent In various circles of labor causes some anxiety. Sterling exchange made a rather vio lent advance in response to the demands of the London money market and there was discussion of the possibility of gold exports in spite of the near approach of the period of normal outgo for our prin cipal merchandise exports. No effect was produced on our money market owing to the extraordinary level of the banking surplus. The market closed irregular at some slight recovery from the lowest. Bonds were heavy and dull. Total sales. par value, $1,740,000. United States 2s and the old 4s declined % per cent on call.
