6 THE COMMERCIAL RECORD. ' h Grain Markets Were Steady, With Bot Wheat and Corn Selling Higher. Provisions Caught the Fever and Went Higher-Pork Secured an Advance of Five Cents. Transactions in the Financial Circles of Wall Street—The General Quotations. Ipeclal to the Globe. Chicago, May 14.— grain markets were Steady this morning. Both wheat and corn opened higher. July wheat starting at 89c. May corn at 60*4 C and July corn at 5Sc. Wheat settled back "4@*feC and corn %@ I *c, holding with passable firmness at the de cline, with only a moderate business passing. ,In wheat nine traders out of ten are looking for and working for a break, and everybody is ready to jump in and buy when the break occurs. There were fewer outside orders on the floor at the opening than any day for a week, and the big fellows are resting. Cables were conflicting, some quoting foreign markets as strong and higher, and others flat. You pays your money and you takes your choice. Receipts of corn were 223 ears of wheat, forty-two graded No 2. Provisions were steady at SI • 1. -I 'J l-1.45 for July pork, $8.37"4@8.40 for July lard, and 87.7007.72% for July ribs. An im mense amount of long wheat came out. and brokers, supposed to be operating for Ream, and other leading professionals pounded the market with speculative offer ings, but the price only once got down so low as Saturday's closing. One million bluff was made and taken, and several 50,000 bushel trades were made. A torrent of country business again swept over the telegraph wires, and com mission houses were kept busy fill ing '.orders. The market was a great, big, broad one, and the leaders had no influence whatever. Millions upon millions of bush els were licked up greedily, and the price of July advanced from SS%c to 89i.ic. Several times subsequently the market got back nearly to S9c, but it shot up again aud re fused to be kept down. The first consider able advance was on a telegram that New York was going to show a decrease of 18, --000 bushels in the visible supply. Then Mil waukee came in with a 1,700,000 bushels estimate. Later Chicago figures were pasted. Total stocks of wheat were reduced 900,000 bushels less than the minimum reached last year, within 1,000,000 bushels of the lowest point touched in I*Bo, and 10,500,000 bush els less than the bottom in 1885. These figures are beginning to alarm bears when they stop to think that sixty and possibly eighty days must elapse before stocks will stop decreasing. The full force of these figures is only just beginning to dawn on the short sellers who have been willfully blind to changed conditions of late. It docs not odd to their enjoyment to learn that millers ail through the winter and spring wheat sec tions are bidding relatively higher prices than rule in Chicago, without being able to obtain wheat enough to fill their daily re quirements. Crop reports continue to come in very bad, and attention is turning more and more to the critical outlook for spring wheat. The do mestic situation is very strong and popular and speculative enthusiasm is on the in crease. The market jumps at every provo cation. After the visible supply statement came in there was a panic, and then prices bounced up %c, July striking 90c. On this latter spurt there was tremendous buying and ugly selling. Nothing could stop the advance, however. The statement that At * tan tic ports exports (wheat and flour) last week footed up 1,400,000 bushels contrib uted somewhat to the later strength. The close was strong at about the top. The corn market was kept strong all day by estimates of a decrease of 2,500,000. Official figures were near that. Estimates of 193 cars to ar rive to-day exercised not the faintest bearish Influence, and the market was firm as a rock at material improvement-. Provisions, too, caught the bull fever, and a substantial im provement is noted in the price of hog pro ducts of all classes. At the afternoon session there was lively trading in the grain pits, and after a slight decline from 1 p. m. prices there was a rally, which left prices the same as the close of the regular session. Corn was lie and oats ",i.c lower. Provision-, were firmer and pork 5c higher. THE ROUTINE BEPOBT. Chicago, May 14.— The bulls were di vided on wheat" to-day. Prices opened 'Ac higher than the close 011 Saturday, and a few large operators and very small ones turned sellers. The heavy realizing caused a decline from the opening features of % to fee. Hut the country was buying and the Influences were for higher prices and they came. About 11 a.m. it was known posi tively that the decrease in the visible supply would be very large, perhaps 2,000,000 bushels. On the strength of this knowledge the opening prices were required. Addi tional reports were wired from Ohio and In diana, saying that the wheat growing in those states would yield but little more than was needed for seed and consumption. It was 12:30 p. m. when the visible supply figures were posted and showed a decrease of 2.046,000 bu. The growing feeling of strength in wheat culminated during the last fifteen minutes of the regular session, and prices went beyond all former bulges. July opened at 89c", declined to 88Vge. re acted to 89e. sold down again to 88?bC, and again reacted, touching 80?sc, and closed at 893,40. The situation in corn was strong. May sold highest on the opening at OOlic Later sales were lie to sic under this figure, and the closing price was 59%. Other fu tures opened firm and higher, dropped back tic from the highest price of the morning, and rallied again with wheat, and, like wheat, made a sharp advance before the close. July sold from 57"ic up tosßt4c; back to ' 57"Uc, up to 58'ic clos ing up to 58* , or about "lie over Saturday. The visible supply also de creased 2,449.000 bu. Oats, like corn, got Borne strength from wheat. Its local stock. 1,202,000 bu. also made strong. May closed at 35Sgc. July opened at 34c, sold between 33"iic and 34"Ac and closed at 34lic Pro visions were moderately .stronger and higher In the face of large receipts of hogs, and a decline of s@l<*cin prices. The latter, how ever, was offset by the strong and advancing tendency of grain. Pork advanced •_'<><•. Lard advanced about 15c.

London, May 14.— The Mark Lane Express in its review of the British grain trade dur ing the past week says: The English wheat trade is slow, and previous rates are difficult, to sustain. The sales of English wheat dur ing the week were 48,420 quarters at 31s sd, against 47,526 quarters at 33s 6d during the corresponding period last year. Foreign wheat is quiet. In London prices have been maintained, but in Liverpool they are a frac tion cheaper. Flour is firm. Corn at Liver pool is Id per cental dearer. Oats are in demand at an advance of 3d.

The stock market to-day was very dull, except during the first hour, and while the general drift of prices was upward in the forenoon, they re acted later in the day. The trading was more uninteresting than on any day during the past month, and outside of "a few shares there was Ho movement of any hind. The London figures came- higher this morning, and this market responded to a limited ex tent, first prices being from Is to % per cent above those of the close on Saturday, but there was very little doing outside of Read ing and Richmond & West Point, the former being active and strong on a rumor that ar rangements had been made for the placing of the new 4s in London during the current week, and the latter was aided by the contest for control at the coming election and displayed more strength than any other stock on the list. Oregon Transcontinental and Missouri .Pacific were quite strong at times ana moved up some thing over a point in the forenoon, followed by Western Union and Union Pacific. But the traders made a demonstration against the list and most of the advance made in these stocks was afterwards lost. The annual elec tion at the stock exchange had something to do with the general apathy, though the inter est was not extreme in it. In the afternoon the market became extremely dull and some what feverish, with a general heavy tone, and, except in Richmond and West Point, prices yielded slowly throughout most of the time. The comparatively small offerings of bonds to the government were given as the pretext for this movement, but it did not reach very large proportions. St. Paul was the only stock showing marked movement in the afternoon, declining at one time % per cent, but'toward 2 o'clock the market became stagnant and finally closed dull and about steady. Closing prices show changes about equally divided between fractional gains ami losses, the only important change in the active list being an advance 114 per cent in Richmond & West Point. Railroad bonds were in better demand at advancing prices. Sales amounting to $1. 429,000.
