SELLING OF U. S. STEEL

New York. Alar 11. .TTir ruptn
of to-day's trading; that were considerably
more active than the recent ai-erage. but
in the intervals the market showed that
same profound condition of lethargy that
has characterized It for some time. News
developments were not lacking, but the
-ron? to thera was vn- slight,
rhe Government crop report was regard
ed as decidedly unfavorable in tho amount
of tho probable yield indicated of winter
wneaL Hut the showing had been dis
counted, apparently, both in the stock and
the grain markets, neither of which was
appreciably afreets'.
Another news development to which
general importance is attached, although
Ir-tg oTpected. is the proooscd issue of
delenture bonds by the New York Cen
tral, ri-iiorts of which were generally cred
ited, although not officially confirmed, be
fore the market closed. The Issue of a
bond for a moderate term and at a rate
of interest above that recently paid by
that company was variously Interpreted.
BONT) ISSUES.
With both stock and bonds authorized
and not issued, it Is evidently an admission
... cho.1 ui me iiupu5siDimy oi issuing
these on favorable terms In the present
market. On the other hand, the placing of
the debenture issue as Indicated Is evi
dence of some improvement in the ab
sorptive power of the bond market.
The conspicuous feature of the day's
stock market was the selling of the United
States Steel stocks, which carried the
common stock to 9U. a level neier before
touched. The selling was attributed to
feeling on the central outlook in the'trade.
Report from the trade were of declining
demand for Iron and expanding facilities
for output by the United States Steel Cor
poration's Iron department, with resulting
discontent by Independent producers and
suggestions of plans for steel works to
provide consumption for their products.
GOLD MOVEMENTS.
gBut by far the most notable develop
ment of the day was the enormous gold
movement. Total engagements for ship
ment by to-morrow's steamer reached
ja.ftW.Ooa. This concentrated movement is
so little in accord with the Intimations
of those having the Panama payment in
rhnrfA friar tha v-neA -....l. .- a-
gradually and in comparatively small
amuuius mat mere was room to question
whether the movement was not In large
part due to other causes than the Pan
ama payment.
umie tne buotreasury paid out yester
day $15.XW.O00 on the Panama Canal pay
ment to Morgan & Co., tho depositary
banks were called on at the same time
to pay over about $12.W0.X) of Govern
ment deposits, so that there was little
net increase in the available supply to
provide for to-day's heavy exports of
gold. ,
Call money responded to the heavy in
roads upon cash reserves the rate rising
to 2 per cent. The time money market
is not yet affected. Railroads made fur
ther poor returns of earnings. Consolidated
Gas fluctuated under tho operations di
rected against the shorts in the stock.
The market closed steady, but not far
from the lowest, a rise of 114 In Amal
gamated Copper helping to 'steady tho
ClOSfi
The bond market became Irregular In
sympathy with the late weakness in
stocks. Total sales, par value, $1,515,000.
United States bonds were unchanged on

NATIVE CATTLE-Beef Steers With more
moderate receipts and with the Ore-point total

ers saw better prospects and were asking a
higher range from the start. Receipts were
estimated at 3.00. which was praciicallr no
different from this day a year aga Arrivals for
the three days numt-red 12.10 bead, against
9.6CO last week and 15.900 last year.
The proportion of natives ruled lanre. with

which was a shade larger than last Wednesday,
while for the week thus far receipts are abor
those of last week and the same time last year,
arrivals for threo cays being 3.300 head, against
6,400 last week and CJCO the co-Ttsponding
period last year. Beef steers constituted the
bulk of the offerings and were out of propor
tion to the general supply. Otfetlngs on the
early market showed mostly a medium culss
of steers, thougn a tew good kinds were In
cluded, and only a, small representation of the
commoner class. There were not near as many
of the heavy steers as the previous day. which
materially helped this class, and while buyers
'took them with more freedom, prices were but
steady. The general run of common and fair
to -rood steers, weighing- S-tKKJLSS lbs., moved
with much more life than Tuesday, and while
the general trend of the market was strong, a
.few of the most fortunate secured a 10c ad
vance, which did not apply to any one par
UcuUr kind.

SOUTHERN CATTLE Quarantine receipts
were much lighter than on previous dais. and.
with a better feeling to the trade In general,
tbo market was conducted more actively than
on Tuesday, and practlcr-llT everytnlcg was dis
posed of before the noon hour. Receipts were
firoird 9) cars and 6T- head, while last Wednes
day there were 33 cars and & head, and two
weeks aco but 2 cars and 63 head. Steers em
braced the major portion of the supply, and
generally were medium to good, while there
were fce.eral loads of thin gras and cakeeteers
'ncluded In the supply. Sellers secured a good,
steady to strong basis on medium and above,
and sought strong prices for the thin steers,
but were crable to secure them. No particular
cnange transpired on the few odd bead of cows,
bulls, rtr.gs and calves.

largest number tr.at nas ceen en saie ax tru-
market In one car for -a lorg time. Other
Wet-tern mirkets auo had liberal supplies and
reported prices as being lower.
The local market cpened slow, with buyers
Insisting on lower prices and determined to do
no business at all unlets on a lower ba-s. A
tew loads of real good butcher hogs sold early,
also seme good lights, but there was very little
builness done durlnr the first two hours, pack
ers holding out for as large a decline as pos
sible. The general market early was c-i abrnt

and after this basis hsd been once establls-ed

SIIEEP A rood moderate number of sheep
nrnved. but about 70 head of them were
shipped In by local slaughterers, and the offer
ings fcr sale Included J.ZJ) Texans. so that only
a fair representation cf natives were on sale
While the qualitr was reasonably good, the
offerings did rot Include as many good natlre
sheep as on Tu-aday. There was no material
chance to the trad all good fat stock selling
readily and for fully as much money as any
day this week, but thin stock were not wanted
and were slow and Irregular. Spring lambs, if
good, sell promptly, but those that were thin
and all little r-mmon ones find a very poor
market. Good stock sheep are wanted and s-ll
quickly: In fact, all good stock sell well, while
others are slow sale.
HORSES With very limited supplies avail
able, tlio horse market baa .been remarkably
active and favorable since, tke week opened.
There have been too few horses Tcr the num
ber of buyers, and the disparity between the
two has heightened the competition and Insured
very strong prices for an that were available.
Offerings of all kinds, rave perhaps the vexy
commonest -jnes. have been snapped up with a
brl-tkness which has been decidedly noticeable.
Demand has emanated firm both East and
South, and has also been very active en local
account, many dealer holding commissions for
for big team and tran-fer horses. Only a few
of these orders have thu- far been nilea. owlng
tn the scarcity of supplies, so It can be Imagined
that buyers paid well for those good horses
that were solo.
Values have ruTM as strong. If nnt hAm
stronger, comparatively, than la- week for all
good offerings in all classes. This Is rather
unuual for & week following such a beavy
trade as thru of last week, but the demand
has not abated and on account of the relative
lightness cf receipts buyers have been forced
to par a little trtrorger prices.
About 125 head were offered In the auction
Weiin-"-"3y. and they sold ranldly under keen
cor-petltlon at the stronger basis alrtadyt quoted.

WHEAT.
Notwithstanding extreme bullishness of
the Government crop report, the wheat
market opened barely steady, July being
a shade higher to ic lower at Ej4c to
iCUiic. Many traders were apparently
or the opinion that the excellent weather
of the last ten days had wrought ma

winter --.lieaL As a consequence, they
were not disposed to buy heavily.
On the other hand, offerings wero rath

having a tendency to check free selling.
Under a fair demand from pit traders, a
firmer tone developed. July advancing to
SSU8SS"-,c. As the session advanced there
was more disposition to tell manifested
and prices began to decline. The change
Ir sentiment was due largely to reports
as to the condition of the crop.
A Kansas City dispatch claimed that
taking into consideration the present out
look In that section, the Government re
port was altogether too pessimistic. Ac
cording to a report from Montreal the
wheat crop in Manitoba will bo the lar
gest in the history of the country, an es
timated yield or EO.Wn.OOQ bushels, being
given for that Province and the North
west Territory. Influenced by these ad
vices tho pit crowd commenced to ham
mer the market and caused a quick de
cline. A lot of long wheat came out on the
downturn, commission houses selling
heavily on stop-loss orders. Before the

COR.V.
Considering the weakness In wheat, the
corn market exhibited decided strength.
Shorts were active buyers throughout the
day, flrm cables and a sudden falling off
lu receipts being the chief Incentives. The
strength was more remarkable In view of
the favorable weather conditions and the
bcart'-b. tone of crop news. The market
closed at about the highest point of the

at SsC to 4c sold between 45Uc and
4S--ic closing at 4S;c. Local receipts were
37 cars, with one of contract grade.
OAT3.
Tho feature of trading In oats was an
urgent demand for the May delivery from
a prominent commission house. Offerings
were scarce nnd the price had to be hid
up a cent before the demand was satis
fied. There was also considerable cover
ing by shorts. The more distant futures
were affected by the strength of May.
but the advance was not as great. An
Improved shipping demand and small re
ceipts were bull factors. After opening

SUMMARY0FST.LQU1SMARKETS .
Wheat was lower and corn and oats were higher in yesterday's locnl market.
One of the main bearish features in wheat was the lack of professWal support. -Dig
bulls wero out with statements that the bears had no leader, but words without ,
action were of no avail In checking the decline. The professional longs did .not seem
to be anxious to add to their lines and outsiders, trading through commission houses,
were generally bearish Foreign markets showed little strength and the Govern
ment report seemed to have been discounted. Weather conditions were generally fa
vorable, though there were scattered damage reports from portions of the central
and Eastern winter wheat belt. The prospect of continued clear nnd dry weather
gave little encouragement to the buying side. May wheat, ruled by speculation, -t
showed some strength, but the July option was weak through tho greater part
of the session. Receipts were small and there was a fairly good cash demand, but i
it was lmposible to work up buying sentiment In the pit. Large operators held off
In expectation that a new short Interest would he created. 5
Though trading In corn was extremely light, the market was sustained by small
receipts and the strength of other domestic markets.
July wheat opened "jc off and closed Sc off.
July corn opened c up and closed HGttc up.
July oats closed He up.
Receipts of produce were In fair volume and prices of fruits and vegetables
were generally steady to easy.
Local securities were dull. Interest was mainly In tractions, which were lower.
Yesterday's bank clearings were $10,0G0,:tS, balances Jl.m.ra). Discount rates were
steady between !- and 6 per cent.
Spot cotton was Arm In the local market.

Bullish Government Report Had
Little Effect on Specula
tive Sentiment.
July wheat was on tho downturn In
yesterday's local market The Govern
ment report was generally regarded as
bullish, but the professionals, who might
have been expected to have started an
upward movement on the strength of It,
were Inactive and the Impression gained
ground that It had been discounted. .Fa
vorable weather and lack of foreign en
thusiasm were among the bearish factors.
The selling side was popular throughout
the session.
