STOCK MARKET RESISTS
DEPRESSING INFLUENCES.
TRADING, HOWEVER, IS NAR
ROW AND PROFESSIONAL.
Hopes for Settlement of Goal
Strike Are Not So Bright
Wabash Deal a Factor.
New York, May 2L The tone of resist
ance to depression was manifest In to-day's
etock market, notwithstanding Its dull and
narrow professional character. There was
not much assistance In the way of strength
derived from the coal stocks, either, which
were dull and sluggish all day until Just
before the close, when prices hardened there
and elsewhere In the market. Yesterday's
hopes that the actiities of the CHIc Fed
eration were promising for a settlement of
the strike were somewhat dashed by the
oggrleved tone taken by the coal operators
toward those activities. Wall street, how
ever, maintains Its convictions that the two
sides to the struggle are not very far apart
and both averse to a long and costly strug
gle. The consequence is a constant expecta
tion of the announcement of a settlement.
Canadian Pacific Shown Strength.
The conspicuous strength of Canadian Pa
clllc and Its aillllated lines continued to-day
and mas a notable Influence on the whole
market. The strength of the stock was
unexplained beyond floor-room gossip of the
immaience of a corner and a revival of
the reports of a strong transatlantic steam
ship line In the Interest of the l'ne and to
be subsidized by the Canadian Government.
Another sustaining factor was the wide ad
vance of prices in the usually Inactive
stocks and of minor railroad stocks avail
able for combinations and absorptions. The
demand for those stocks was stimulated by
the details of the plan for taking over the
Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville In the
Joint Interest of the Southern Railway and
the Louisville and NashWlle and the acqui
sition of the Ann Arbor In the interest of
tho Wabash. Tho stocks Immediately con
cerned In these deals were rather heavy,
but buying of a large number of other
stocks could be traced to their Influence. A
Jump of 21 points In Cleveland, Lorain and
Wheeling and of 5 points In the preferred
were examples.
Soft-Coal Carriers Stronger.
Some degree of strength was given to the
1 soft-coal carriers by the supposition that
the continuance of the anthracite strike
would lead to an Incrcan. of their traffic.
There was less fear that he stnks would
' spread to tho bituminous coaI trade. There
. was an aggressive buying of Amalgamated
J. Copper at Intervals duetts: the day. A
L further advance In the price of raw topper
liere and strength In the London coppr
market were suppleme-rVi bv reports of
great Improvement in the trade. There were
. also rumors of a. compromise of the conflict
of Interest In the trade. Tho foefcn ex
change market continued to sho.v n yield
ing tendencv In spite of the fal'lns -no
of money. This afforded relief ro-n the ap
prehension that a fall in the money ra;e
would lead to prompt exports of gold. Lyn
don's hopes of an eariy pence In South
Africa, was an additional fictor In the
strength of the market, whim was qt.lte
marked at the close of the day.
Bonds were dull, but quite firm. Total
nales, par value, J2.413.000. United States new
s 4s declined M. the old 4s and the 3s U and
the 2s H per cent on the last call to-day.
Wnll Street Gossip.
Reported by the New York Commercial Adver
tiser, through Francis, Bro. & Co.. No. 14 North
Fourth street:
Foreign After opening- rather heavy, Americans
rallied on the London market and final prices
came higher. The arbitrage houses bought fully
15,000 shares cf the various Internationals, chiefly
II. P., Atchison. Eries. Readings and Canadian
Pacific Priate advices were that prospects
for early peace In bouth Africa were Improving
hourly.
Copper The rise In Amalgamated Copper at
tracted som attention In view of the fact that
the street last week was flooded with bull
tips" on It. The movement to-day was ac
companied by talk of Improving trade conditions.
Important developments, eta. but there was evi
dence that advances were due to operations by a
coterie of room traders Identified with the "Wal
dorf" crowd. On the way up there was selling
of long stock by people In position to know of
any "development' of Importance. The price of
- Copper rose He per pound.
Junior VftndTbllts The sharp advances In Lake
Erie and Western and Nickel Plate common and
eeoond preferred were believed to have been de.
slgned to permit selling elsewhere. Specialists re-
- ported that no gossip attended the move In these
stocks. The floating supply Is small and a rise
can be easily manipulated.
. Canadian Pacific This stock scored a further
rise to-day to the highest figure on record. The
room traders bought It freely on talk that It
isvould sell at 150 en earnings and prospects. The
stock however seemed to be steadily absorbed,
r; and In the last hour there was talk of a corner
, v'n it
Union Pacific It explanation of heavy per-
bases of Union Pacific by London, and by uw
THE STATE OF MISSOURI.

Gates party. It was rumored to-day that Mr.
Morgan had been bujlng it through London
houses and through John W. Gates. It v. as even
aald that the stuck was cornered, though very
little was said about the JlHOOO.000 of com enable
bonds.
Miscellaneous Sensational features were Cleve
land. Lorain and heeling, the common rising 21
points and the prererrea 9. The latter reacted
toward the c!osi The strength In Wabash was
due to bujing on the news that control ot Ann
Arbor road had ben acquired by the Uould In
terests. New York Stock Quotations.

GRAIN TRADERS WAIT IN
VAIN FOR NEW INFLUENCE.
FALL RACK ON WEATHER
AFTER BRIEF ACTIVITY.
Wheat Closes Lower and .Corn and
Oats Higher as the Result
of Dav's Deals.
Chicago. III.. May 21. Activity in
grains was short-llicd again to-day. Trad
era generally were waiting for signs of
something new, but once more had to rely
on weather as a factor July wheat closed
HUHc loner. July corn '.s'Q'e.c up, and Ju
ly oata 'sfic higher. Provisions closed
2"2ffl0c lower.
AVlient.
Wheat was dull. Early there was a show
of good strength on the corn bulge and on
reports of a good export demand and pur
chases of Sept options to be for the for
eign account. The local crowd started to
bull the market, and succeeded for a time.
Corn t-agged and the wheat market turned
very dull. Liquidation then bet in. and, in
asmuch as the shorts had covered early and
ther was no demand for stuff from that
quarter, when selling began prices had a
pretty bad tumble. However, the expect
ed export demand did not materialize. Gen
eral conditions were favorable to the selling
side. The weather was clearing North
west, and rains fell in the Ohio Valley,
where thev have been much needed. In
snlte of the constant talk of the late -seeding
Northwest advices from Minneapolis
stated that the general spring acreage
would be about as large as last year. Ju-lv-
wheat opened l4ilo to Tc lower at
74r-4c to 74I-874lsC, advanced to 7j,4b,.c
and -dumped to a weak close, Vt'sc de
presl nt 74'4e. Local receipts were 12
cars, 2 of contract grade. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported 03 cars, miking a total for
tho three iwlnts of 103 cars, against 14j last
weak and 233 a year ago. Primary receipts
were 220.000 bu., compated to 410,000 bu. last
j car. Seaboard clearances In wheat and
flour equaled 314,0.X) bu.
Corn.
Corn had very good early support, but
could not hold the advances that were mado
during the first hour of trade. As on ve?
terday the principal bull factor was the
very small run of cars lure only 30. Commission-houses
bought libtrally for a time
and the leading bull sold freely without de
pressing the market. Bulls also were claim
ing very small country acceptances, but in
this connection it was reported thtt the bids
to holdera had been reduced nnd that farm
ers and receivers would not sell nt the fig
ures offered. This. It in said, accounted for
the reduced offerings. After July had sold
up from 61'sC to 62ic. the demand fell off.
Selling ensued on the advance. The crowd
of shorts who kad covered enrly took ad
vantage of a lapse Into dullness and sold
hort again. Prices dipped anil mo"t of the
ila's gains were lot. July closed only firm,
SfcUc up at 62'5624c.
Outs.
Traders in the oats pit were guessing- to
day as to what deal is on in their favorite
grain. Early In the day the same sort of
buying that started prices upward yesterday
set in again. Them was little pressure to
sell, especially when wheat and corn were
strong. Prices advanced well for a time, but
were affected by the reaction In other
Krains. The cloe was barely steady in
most options, with July showing the best
advance. MiSc higher at 37Is'537'lc. Re
ceipts wire 131 cars.
