St. Louis Re-rese-Hatlves. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET SHOWS SLIGHT RECOVERY. FOREIGN BUYING STIMU LATES STOCKS. Amalgamated Copper Lead in the Upward Movemen t United States Steel Unsettled. New York. May 13. The stock market mado some stand agalnxt depression to day and early In the day some recovery was effected from yesterday's rharp de clines. The firmness was helped by some light buying for foreign account. London continuing to show a wholesome tone, with a declining money market. The news over night of tho fixing of tho amount of tho New York Central debenture-bond Issue at $$0,OW,000 instead of C0.000.0O), as was understood yesterday, was not stimulating to tho general mar ket, pwirjp to tho Inroads upon money re sources Indicated. Tho trunk-Hao stocks renerally were probably affected to some extent by the threatened tie-up of lake traffic, owln tb tho dispute between the Masters and Klots Association and tho Lake Carriers' Association. GOLD DHATN. The arrival In San Francisco of a con signment of J2.250.009. which may be Im mediately available to New York banks by telegraphic transfer, promised allevia tion from the gold drain. The closing of subscriptions to tho Japanese loan aid tho prospect of early allotment will probably put a stop to the Japanese gold Imports. The 2-point rise In Amalgamated Copper had Borne sentimental effect la sustaining the early market, although It had no ex planation beyond the usual vague rumors of a settlement of litigation of copper In terests. United 8tates Bteel preferred also got nearly a point over last night's level. But the pressure was renewed upon tho Uni ted States Steel stocks as tho day pro gressed. Tho volume and mystery of tho source of this selling were a very unset tling influence and seemed to be regarded as a portent by tho usual operators in tho market. CURRENCY MOVEMENT. The forecast of the week's currency movement made a less formidable show ing than was Reared In view of tho enor mous gold movement of the week. Large receipts from tho interior have been a partial offset, and the gold to go by to morrow's steamer does not figure In the estimate and will not In the weekly bank statement. The weakness of the United State steel stocks carried the whole market off in the later trading and made net losses on the day. Bonds were dull and about Rteadv. To tal sales, par value. M.S0O.0O0.

May wheat waa the only strong spot and the advance of that option was based on purely speculativo conditions caused by the approach of the expiration of contracts. Legitimate conditions affecting prices were nearly all bearish. There was llttlo improvement In the foreign situation so far as a demapd for Amerlrtln bread stuffs was concerned, and it was predicted that the shipments of wheat from other countries to Europe would be even larger than Tor the preceding week. Weather con ditions wero favorable In nearly all sections of the winter belt "and receipts wero sufllcient to supply the Immediate demands of cash purchasers. One of the depress ing factors waa an almost total lack of outsldo buying demand. Liquidation was rather free throughout tho session and It was apparent that some of the offerings camo from big operators here and in Chicago. Shorts did not seem afraid to further ease their lines la the absence of speculativo Interest, Tho fluctuations wero within a rango of llttlo more than half a cent and tha closo was only a trifle above the low point for tho day. Some improvement In the receipts and prospects of clear, dry weather caused a modcrato liquidation in corn. Trading was light, with sentiment generally bearish. July wheat opened 1-lCc up and closed ic off. July corn opened unchanged and closed -J'tni-i off.

GRAIN VALUES EASY ON LACK OF SUPPORT. WINTER BELT CONDITIONS BEARISH. May Wlieat Is the Only Strong Spot in a Draggy and Fea tureless Market. Aside from some talk of unfavorable weather conditions in tho Northwest, speculativo Indications were generally bearish in yesterday's local market. May wheat was tie only strong spot- Weak cables and lack of outside buying Interest were tho main bearish factors. The Modern Miller said: 'The winter wheat crop has been favored by excellent weather conditions so far during the month of May, and improved prospects are reported from all sections where the crop could bo becetlted. This Improve ment extends even to the States and Territories whero the crop suffered most damage and loss in acreage. The outlook continues best In Missouri, Kansas.
