OTHER GRAIN MARKETS.
GRAIN GOSSIP— Gossip by private
wire to C. H. F. Smith & Co., St. Paul,
members of the New York stock ex
change and Chicago board of trade.
Emporia, Kan., wires: Chinch bugs are
doing greut damage here. Many wheat
fields have already been plowed up and
more must follow if heavy rains do not
fall corn will also suffer from the bugs.
Prime says: Conditions are proving
bad for corn planting this week in Illi
nois. Entirely too wet for planting for
several days. The rain has been cold and
the seed weak, which means the prospect
for a poor stand. This is a very impor
tant week so far as corn planting is con
cerned. Buffalo—lt looks as though
the strike would have to be fought out
to a finish, and there is no telling when
it will end. Kansas City—High, dry
winds prevailed all yesterday, last night
and today, no signs of rain. Wheat, corn
and oats on uplands need rain badly.
Lots of serious damage reports.
GRAIN AVAILABLE SITPPLY-New

NEW YORK, May 16.—Today's market !
was remarkably quiet after the recent ex
citement, the total sales being little mo «
than half the' number of shares sold dur- i
ing the panicky two hours of Saturday.
Apparently there was. no such thing as a
bear speculator in existence,- with the
exception of slight irregularity in prices
at the opening, and a slight relaxation in .
values jin the last hour ;of the | market,"
the course of prices was steadily held or :
moved unceasingly upwards.' This was
rather contrary to " the j general expecta
tion which was that prices .1 would tend
downward in the ■ absence of buying by
shorts, who ; were largely closed": out by
yesterday's rise and with a less strenuous
support from the powerful alliance' of
capitalists 1 who came to the rescue of the
market. - ; This- combination ... was be
lieved to be simply, for the purpose : ot
sustaining the market against any - pre
cipitate attempt at liquidation. The bull
movement'which the late Mr.. Flower and
his associates [ had inaugurated previous
to his death \ was felt to <be bold undr •
existing conditions and its continuance in
full force was hardly looked for. , Under
the circumstances .- there ■ seemed • <. a -.fair
probability that some of the uncertainties
incident to the; season might cause a re
actionary tendency for a time. <:'But the
professional traders, after ' the early
transactions, took the long - side of th<* !
market and there was uninterrupted ab
sorption of an extremely varied list, of
stocks throughout the day. Any inter- :
ruption to the advance threw the > market
into lethargy, and .nothing but a . re
sumption of the rise brought any ac
tivity. ..:..-:... j. , ....:;':',--;; ,:..'.'■ '".'
. London,was scarcely a factor either
way, the market there being neglected:
on account of uneasiness over -the-situa
tion in China. A slight hardening "in* the
rate of exchange j had no other exp'ana- •;
tion - than this same uneasiness. - Mo.
in New York, however, worked decidedly
easier under the influence of receipts from
the interior. The money market bene
fitted also from yesterday's paym;nt of
the final $5,000,000 installment to : Spain.
The lower stocks, especially People's Gas
and Brooklyn Transit, enjoyed the great- !
est advantage in the ; day's movement,
but there were notable advances:-also in
the stocks of other franchise tax bills.
Stocks of the various steel and iron com
panies were also strong, and there wai
activity and strength in Chicago Ter
minal. In the railway list Central and
Southern Pacific rose nearly 8 j per cent
on a belief of a beneficial effect of the
unification of the system. A number of
other railroads advanced a point or over
and Sugar is up 2 points for the day. To
bacco gained 5%.. . The closing was near
the top, firm but quiet.
The advancing tendency of prices was
marked also in the bond department.
There was a heavy absorption of Rock
Island 4s and theAtchison adjustment
4s and Wisconsin Central lsts were alsj
strong and active. The total sales were
$3,770,000. U. S. 3s declined %in th- bid
price. - • .• ■ - . ■- '-. ' : .. ;
