CHICAGO, June S.—Apprehensions of
a bearish government crop report hung
like a pall over the wheat market today,
Inducing enough selling to depress prices
a point to%c under yesterday's close. Corn
was firm and advanced about %c. Oats
declined %c. Provisions were heavy and
declined 2%©7%fc Only for a short time
from the opening' In wheat was that mar
ket governed by the influences usually
controlling.
The opening was rather weak, July
starting at:,75%@75%c* Traders evidently
had in mind the greatly improved tone
of. domestic crop advices, especially as
regards .spring wheat, and considerable
long wheat was thrown on the market
during the first few minutes trading. This
depressed July to 74% c, where a strong
reaction resulted from free covering by
shorts i'ml some'lnvestment buying fol
lowing the posting of some European
crop reports, showing the condition in
Roumanla and Russia to be fully as
serious as previously proclaimed. Before
11 o'clock the market had advanced 7to
75%@%c. That was the high point of the
day. The belief was quite general that
the forthcoming government report
would be decidedly bearish. As the ses
sion wore on this gradually overshadow
ed everything else; longs were unwilling
to hold wheat pending the report, but
found a good deal of difficulty in dispos
ing of their holdings and the market dur
ing the afternoon was a decidedly weak
one. --.!*-■'.
Northwest receipts were another bearish
factor. Minneapolis and Duluth reported
a year ago. Chicago receipts were 178
cars, seven of contract grade. New York
reported fifty-six loads taken for export.
The cash demand was slow. July sold as
low as 74% c and closed at 74%@75c.
Corn was rather slow, but steady,
though not holding the best prices. The
cash demand was the feature, 700,000
bushel's" being reported sold for shipment,
half for export. Crop reports were in
the main favorable. Receipts were lib
eral, 689 cars. July ranged from 38%
to 34c, but closed %@%c higher, at 33% c.
Oats were slow and barely steady,
though considerable export business was
reported. Crop reports were good and
this Induced some selling by longs. Re
ceipts were 262 cars. July ranged .from
23% cto 23%@%c and closed %c lower, at
23%@23%c. -
Provisions were very dull and declined
slightly all around in consequence of
lack of support. Hog prices were lower
and packers offered moderately, but de
mand was almost entirely lacking. At
the close July pork was 7%0 lower, at
$8.17%; July lard 2%0 lower, at $6.02%, and
July ribs a shade lower, at $4.65@4.6T%.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
, CATTLE— , receipts of cattle this
week have been very ' light and much
short of the demand. During the first
three days of the "week there, was only
a sprinkling of fat cattle on the market.
Today (Thursday) a dozen loads were In,
running from good '.to choice, and good
prices were realized for everything. Good
dry-fed fat steers and cows! and -h.lf ; r3
are selling fully steady with last week's
prices, while the cattle.showing grass are
lower, in some instances as much as 10
to 25 cents. This Is especially true, as to
cows and heifers. r ... - -,->.;•/. . >—-. : ,
The run'of stock cattle has been very
light and many buyers have been unable
to fill orders. The best, quality stockers
and feeders are selling . steady,
while the common kinds and the grassy
stuff is slow sale at lower prices.
The best Quality steer and heifer
calves are in -■• good demand and
selling at good strong prices," but there
is a tendency to pay less for the com
mon ones and we are of the opinion
that they will -go quite ' a little, lower
next week. Stock cows and heifers are
In good demand'at steady prices.
Stock bulls are selling at prices about
the same as. last week and butcher bulls
are in good demand at good-prices. Milk
ers and springers ' are In good demand
also at • steady .prices. ..;,■.-:
We would respectfully call the' atten
tion of shippers to. the fact " that the
time of year has come when grass cattle
can be found almost anywhere.-: This
class of stuff Is not In the best demand
and will not be, and It would be well to
be very conservative in buying, as noth
ing like top prices can be obtained.
Our. quotations J are as follows: Best
beef steers, $4.65. to' $5; common to fair,
$4.25 to $4.50; strictly prime. fat heifers,
$4.26 to $4.65; good fat cows and heifers,
$3.75 to $4; medium, $3 to $3.60; canners,
$1.75 to $2.50; young feeding cows, $2.60 to
$3.25; best.feeders (SOO to 1,000 pounds), $4
to $4.40; best yearlings and twos, $4 to
$4.40; common to fair, $3 to $3.85; best
stock calves, $4.65 to $5; common to fair
kinds, $4 to $4.50; Jerseys and Holstelns,
$2.76 to $3.25; fat bulls, $3.25 to $3.75; bo
logna bulls, $2.50 to $3; stock bulls, $2.60
to $3.40; milkers and springers, $25 to
$45. '".■;;'•; - . -"' • .7-7
HOGS—The receipts for the first four
days of the week amount to 6,100. . As a
general thing the quality has been fairly
good, although there are some grass hogs
coming in and they hurt the sale of the
good ones. Buyers in the country should
be very careful and avoid the grassy hogs
and pigs.
During the past two weeks we have
heard considerable complaint from ship
pers In connection with the heavy shrink
on their hogs and •we believe that it is
due to the fact that when they receive
them the hogs are full of grass or soft
feed, and under such circumstances, by
the time they arrive here, there is bound
to be a heavy shrinkage. This can only
be avoided with care in the first buy
ing. .- . * •
Our market has been very good all
week, very close up to Chicago and fully
5 cents higher than any other Western
market. Today (Thursday) the hogs in
here sold at $3.57% to $3.65 for good mixed
butchers with a few bunches of choice,
light, sorted hogs to. local butchers at
$3.76. Rough sows are selling at $3.35; pigs
(weighing less than 130 pounds), $3.25;
stags and boars, -$1.60 to $2.,..'.'-. ....;
SHEEP—The receipts have been light
' and the market-has not been very satis
factory. The opening prices on Monday
were lower and the stuff - offered ' was
practically^ unsalable unless of the very
best quality. During the last two days
there has been a little improvement, with
prices holding fairly steady at the decline,
but sales have been slow. * Top sheep
have been selling at $4.50, with fair stuff
at $4. Choice lambs have sold at ' $5.20
and $5.40, with the common ones quite
a little lower. -. Spring lambs are very
slow and T the very best ones sold today
at $5.50, with -fairly good lambs as low
as $4.75. - We are of the opinion that the
market will not improve In the near fu
ture. ';;' "7-.:■-" '■ ._' ■■. -, ''■.'■ '7777

NEW YORK, June B.—The market took
on the appearances of "vitality and
strength which is associated with a bull
market at one period during the day, but
the inevitable professional • realizing
seemed to take the snap out of the mar
ket, and when the bears perceived that
tne buying was not renewed with any
eagerness, even after the realizing offer
ings had ceased, they attacked the mar
ket in the last half hour and worked
some very material recessions In prices.
Sugar, Metropolitan and Brooklyn Transit
closed 'more than two points \ below the
high level, ' retaining still good net ad
vances In prices. A number of the spe
cialties and -prominent railroads also had
a point or over taken from the price.
The opening of the market was surpris
ingly tranquil,- considering the amount of
.business that was being done. A large
list of important stocks opened at un
changed prices, and no stock In ' the list
showed a change : of as much as a point
in the early transactions. It was evident
that there was a large bear ." party In
Sugar still unconvinced by yesterday's
dividend declaration, j and they undertook
to force down the price of that very un
certain security. By. the time it had fallen
2 points, however, the decline met resist
ance of a kind which it was not in the
power of the bears to overcome. Their
experience during the remainder of the
day was not an agreeable j one, and the
heavy blocks absorbed at the high level
was convincing evidence of their distress.
The advance In price of refined \ sugar,
which was acquiesced in by all Interests
in the trade, seemed to bring home to the
bears that the competition could not be of
a very destructive character, and that
the I opposition Interests might be fairly
regarded as installed in the position of
insiders regarding stock market man
euvers. The very buoyant tone of Brook
lyn Transit. Metropolitan Street Railway
and Manhattan added to the discom
fiture of the bears. Later In the day the
Tobacco stocks took up " the advance.
Yesterday's dividend .declaration on Atch
ison preferred had a very stimulating, ef
fect on that stock, as well as those of all
grain-carrying roads. The , Western and
Southwestern stocks nearly all rose.over
a point, and pretty much the whole rail
road list responded in sympathy, the only
laggard being a.■ few . Southern -..,- roads,
which were affected by selling • for Lon

The announcement of a further ship
ment of $1,000,000 gold' on ' Saturday, mak
ing a" total of $3,500,000 on the movement,
was without Influence in the market. This
outward movement of gold is now gen
erally understood to be due to special In
ducements offered. by the " Bank of Eng
land to secure replenishment of its re
serve. There are intimations of similar
pressure from Russia and' other, continen
tal points, though no authoritative infor
mation can be secured on the subject.
The iron and steel stocks* were conspic
uously heavy all day, with one or two
exceptions, though they did not suffer
materially in the later decline. Large,
gains were shown by a number of rail
road stocks seldom -traded, including;

building, St. : Paul: .Strong, Sturgis & Co.,
wire us: We have pleasure In reporting
a stronger market for many of the lead
ing stocks pas well as a rather broader
market for industrials and fancy shares.
The grangers, have developed .good buy
ing and the same may be said of the To
bacco shares. It is quite confidently ex
pected that the American common stock
will j soon go on an . 8 per basis. 5 We
• hear good j reports •• on : Continental also,
but hardly •as favorable; as .of American.
Smelter keeps steady, but there Is no
new feature in them. When'the preferred
begins to pay dividends there will be a
movement. 7; The discussion regarding
a dividend on Steel and Wire has had a
depressing influence upon' the stock. :.• We
have -good-.information,^: in our ■„ opinion,
that the dividend will paid. National
Steel Is neglected, but the property is so
superior in" merit|to Federal .Steel that
the now ".existing difference. In price .is
not justified at all." ..v- >. ' ... „' j; ..' -

The fat cattle market was steady to a
bare shade lower, with a fair.run of good
to choice steers and a few scattering
head of fair cows and heifers. Trading
was a little slow owing to a tendency on
the part of buyers to get cattle at lower
prices. The stock cattle market was a
little slow and especially so for the com
mon kinds. hTe good stuff sold about
steady. Milkers and springers were in '
fair demand .7 at . steady prices. Veal
calves jvere a . little lower. Representa

Vast Expenditures by the Milwau
... kee. 1,71
The.success and efficiency of a concern
is measured by . the constant . Improve
ments- made upon It. The manufactur
ing plant or the railroad line upon which
the "- maximum, improvement expenditure
Is : made each year is usually found .in
the lead. - An important example of . this
is the Milwaukee road,. which, during
the -past year, has expended millions
upon Its already magnificent roadway.
Its main line Uetween St. "Paul, Minneap
olis, Milwaukee and Chicago (the route ;
of the celebrated Pioneer Limited ; train) i
is today not equaled In point of solidity
and security by any four hundred miles
of track upon the continent.- This partic
ular Wirtfon of the road is frequently re
ferred to as "the Milwaukee boulevard"
—from the beauty of the roadway and at
tractiye station grounds. .
