NARROW AND SLOW
SPECUUTIVE MARKETS.
J.'ULLNESS A FEATURE OP
" THE GRAIN MARKETS.
Price Changes Unimportant and
Narrow, but the Close Was
Just a Little Higher.
Teslerday's speculate o sraln markets nt
this point were the slowest for week?, nml
that is sajlng a great deal conslilerlnB v.hat
Email affairs they hae been for some time.
Trading; In the pit on 'change was neither
active nor large. The price changes were
.narrow, but the general tendency of the
different markets, when they showed any
at all. was upwards, though the price gains
throughout the day were of the smallest
and the final figures not oxer a fraction bet
ter than those of last Saturday. There was
not much life shown during the day. and
especially early when. there was a disposi
tion en the part of both bulls and bears to
await events. The Influences Included
weather and crop conditions, together with
advices nf a statistical nature, but the lat
ter was full, as there weru no foreign ca
b.es. the market abroad, especially the Kng
lish, were closed owing to the observation
of the Whitsuntide holidays. Naturally
neither bulls nor bears were able to get
much satisfaction out of the situation, and
as previously stated the different markets
were about as dull and unsatisfactory as it
was possible lor them to be.
The local wheat market was dull, narrow
and uninteresting, but at the same time was ;
favorably affected by tne character oi ine
news received throughout the day, though
traders were pretty much at sea and the
speculation was almost nil and entirely of a
scalping character. There were no Liver
pool or London cables,and the news from the
other side was limited and unsatisfactory.
Receipts here and also at Northwestern
points were target The weather was said to
Jib favorable in winter wheat districts, but
dry in the Northwest. The total set afloat
by .exporting countries was large and
amounted to close on to 10,000,000 bu. as
Russia had Increased its exports very large
ly, but the amount afloat showed a decrease
of 1,120,000 bu., whereas a year ago the de
crease was -on)y 664,000 bu. There were no
market cables, hut exporters stated that
'foreigners were asking for offers from thi-i'
aide and some good bids were made. A
strengthening Influence was the export
cJearances.whlchwcre unusually large, they
amounting to 901.000 bu. flour and wheat,
and there was also a decrease of 2,422,000
bu. In the visible of this country, as com-
ared with a'decreasa one ear ago of 1.-
08,000 bu. There was the usual bug talk
from winter wheat sections and also a num
ber of complaints from the Northwest, but
with an these It-seemed Impossible to bull
-t the market, and July, which opened l-16c
lower at 63"c and sold up to 69Hc. did not
get abore 6$Tsc during the day. and Sept
sold at 6STfcc.' SU11 .the dry weather condl-
, tlons In the Northwest were sufficient to
check selling and 'enable bulls to hold the
markefweU In hand if it was almost dead
dull. The cash news was poor, not a single
sale being reported for export at the -seaboard
or elsewhere. Thpre was some doubt
as to how to-morrow's cables would come
. - and traders were naturally cautious. Dur
ing the closing half of the session July sold '
back to 69&8C and closed at CSSs4c asked.
May closed nominally unchanged at 724c
and Sept, 4c up for the day at 6Sic nomi
nal As far as the movement of prices and
speculation was concerned the local mar
ket for corn'wa3 about as unsatisfactory as
It wan for wheat, and that Is saying a good
deaL There was an unsettled feeling early,
and July, after opening l-16c better at 42
42ttC sold, at 42Hc off to 41"SS,c but was
strengthened by dry weather reports and
the fact that the receipts failed to come
up to expectations. A feature of the sta
tistical position 01 this grain was that the
combined Danublan and Argentine ship
ments for week exceeded those of this
country by almost 800,000 bu. The -world's
shipments were large at S.333.000 bu., and
xthe amount afloat was Increased L336.000
"bu.. against L264.000 bu. Increase one year
t ago, and there was also a decrease In the
visible of this country of B93.000,bu., against
3.640,000 bu. last' year. During the closing
4 hours of the session there was nothing in
the way of news to stimulate speculation or
. bring about changes of Importance In val
ues. July sold up to 42"c. May sold at 42c
and closed at that, July closing at 42c
asked. There were bids of '42140 for June
and of 42Kc for Sept.
The local market for oats was quite
strong and bullish all through the day. be
ing favorably influenced by backward
weather and bad reports regarding the crop.
Then there was a decrease In the visible
.supply of 386,000 bu., as compared with a
fW.OJO bu. decrease last year. Trading was.
- lht- 2t-July sold at 27-JsC and Sept. at
3SSio toJUic. while for May 2Sc-was bid.

. la. the latest Broomhall received quite a bull
ish yltw- U taken of the situation abroad In
BnaasttsXS. It says: "The diversion of off

torr.and. although' there may be a pause In the
lausemeut. yet, the. damage was. of so seriona a

of the grain trade were the United states In

tbe latter Is afraid this country will swamp

crop shows deterioration and has a rather thin
growth.
The bugs appear to have Invaded tbe North

"There are reported to be plenty of chinch bugs

Coffee displayed little activity of feature tu-Jay.
The market opened quiet, with prices unchanged,
and for a time was destitute of ltallty one way
or other. Bolldavs in European markets nnd
news from Braxil kept the market within very
narrow lines all the early session. I.t-r light
buying snd scarcity of offerings, duo to r some
what better .demand for spot coffee, caused a
rise of G points In prices. Hcavi- clearances for
the United states from Brazil, with Utter re
ports to the effect that tho Brazilian markets
vere dewn 100 to 200 rels, checked busing toward
the close. The market was finally quiet, with
prices net unchanged to 5 points higher. Total
sales were 13,500 bags, including: May at 5.40c:

Wheat.
The wheat mtrKot rulej vory qttlet. with
scarcely nothing dolns In the way of ship
ment. Tho fccllm?, however, was firm and
prices were Mlghtl' higher. At one time' the
market weakened on good rains In tho
United Kingdom nnd favorable crop pros
pects. An Increased trade and more strength
wero shown near the close, the causes for
which v. ere the dry weather reports from
the NorthweM, which were generally ac
companied with buying onlers. Kansas sent
in some complaints of bugs In that State.
These (.omplalnts enmo mostly by way ot
Kansas C'ltj-, and were recehed by quite a
number of commission-houses. In some in
stances they were accompanied with buying
order." Professionals wcra in tho market
on both tides, but fa.ored the bull side.

to say what caused tho Improvement, unless
It v,ns that there was a little more demand
from shorts. The strong tone extended to

Stockera and Feeders There'was very little to
the stocker and feeder branch of the cattle busi
ness to-day. fresh receipts being quite limited
nnd last week closing; with a cood clearance.
Countrv buer were not very thick, but there
wns sufficient demand frcm local sources to hae
consumed n much healer simpl than material
ized. The few offerings were soon closed out on
a steady basis. They wre exceptionally com
mon quality, the stock steers ranirlna; from 33. M
to 33.80. stock cowr nnd heifers at 13.23 to $3.50
and yearlings at 12.85 to $3.5). Milch cows ruled

Southern 'Cattle Quarantine cattle receipts
were the laraest In several months, the nnal to
tal aggregating 141 cars, of which 130 came from
the State of Texns. 6 from tho Indian Territory.
4 from Arkansas and 1 from toulslana. As
nearly as .could lie estimated about halt of the
offerings wero few nnd half off grass. None
were particularly roteworthy. the best steers
from Austin. Tex., being Just medium srade and
bringing 5c a lb., with tnr Rrarw steers classing
of the rough, leggy, but fleshy; order, nnd bring
ing $4.50. The movement was very nctlve nnd a
perfect clearance wns necompllhed about an fast
or tbe scales could wMgh them up. From a
general standpoint vnlues were steady, although
some salesmen noted a little weakness on the
commonest grassers nnd the extremely light
weight, fed klnd-i. which were no better. It was
on excellent market under any circumstances,
and particularly so under those existing.

HOGS-Only
a moderate supply of hogs ar-
filles. the receipts at Chicago being 9,040 bead
arger than the estimate. Advices were unfavor
able to sellers and buyers very bearish and
started out bidding 10c lower prices than the
Saturday market. Sellers were unwilling to grant
a decline of 10c and held out for nearly steady
prices. Trading was slow at the opening, but
act he later and the bulk of the hogs sold about
6c lower, but some of the common and trashy
stock were 5c to 10c lower. The close wss un
changed and the clearance good.

HORSES Although the receipts for Immediate
sale were ot restricted proportions the market
was featured by a. remarkably liberal general
supnly to the various elements, many. of which
were of British cavalry character. The channel
of demand for which so many consignments
have of late been reported, goes on uninterrupted
ly without a lapse In the urgency or avidity
with wblcb local dealers fill consignments.
Values meanwhile maintain a good, flrm basis,
Under the Influence or an improved Eastern de
mand, the undertone hi the auction showed re
cuperative tendencies, as compared with the
lower tone at the closing of last week, choice
chunks. 1,300 to 1,600 lbs., selling virtually steady
with the best quotations previous to the recent
decline. Farm chunks, however, have lost some
ot thlr aggressive tone, owing to the lateness
ot the spring demand, snd are not as strong as
a couple ot weeks ago. Good drivers and coach
horses continue leading sellers.

the commission market wss the least ravored.
HA iw e,,n loads that arrived color to the
dealers, .while only an odd bunch or two were di
rected to the commission building. Trade In the
latter department wss necessarily quiet, but be
tween tbe deslers and outside buyers there was
a ralr volume or acuvuy nnniivn, wwaam

tivity, there was a firm demand surrounding the
market for good blocky. miners and first-class,
finished big mules. Deslers were sgain on the
lookout for little British mulesan order for a
small number having been placed at the latter
part of last week. A few mules were sold Friday
and Saturday to goto Southern points, the move
