The grocery markets are steady, with a little better demand for sugar. The future of that staple Is somewhat uncertain, xne -" rli-fMilo,. nt rvst-nlknir. MftrDOUsall & CO., Of I New York, under date of May 18, says. 1 "The beet market shows great tcBsjutcucw, vnKiinii. t. ,. iio-httit imnrovement in de mand, and drooping whenever the demand eases off. but all the time exhibiting a very narrow Tango of fluctuations. There has been a spec ulative demand for new-crop sugars, October December and January-March deliveries, and considerable business has Deen oone t jts for the latter months. The Inducement to make such forward purchases is found in the fact that the sowings next Spring are likely to be curtailed, and that the removal oi mo un ties will Increase the cost or Deei sugura i tnn9 t c f n h Tf in retorted that the Belgian Chamber has ratified the agree ment made at the Brussels conference, and that there is very little doubt that the agreement will bo finally ratified by all the countries that participated In the conference. The factories estimate of the decrease in beet sowings throughout Europe Is 11 per cent. At present low prices there seems to be considerable dis position to carry sugars iorwaru, anu ouiuwu i banking facilities in Europe to do so. For the l.hm. wenna tVnt invite Investment-buying and holding of beets such purchases may ex tend to Javas and other cane sugars, auu ui weight of the excess may in this way be so distributed as to remove all difficulty of carry- i. ....tu if is w)ri TCo further sales have been made of Javas to this country, but we hear that of the expected crop oi ouu.wv tons fully one-fourth has already been sold by planters to shippers, by whom the greater por tion has been placea in me iasi.

The local wheat market was such a tame af fair yesterday that it showed no reflection of tho weakness in the East, and prices were nominally unchanged. The charter of the only disengaged ship In the river, with a cargo al ready provided for her, has had a tendency to lessen the opportunities for new business, and matters are Inclined to drift until there is an improvement in the foreign market that will warrant higher prices. The comparatively small amount of wheat still held in the in terior is in the hands of parties who are finan cially able to hold It for an indefinite period if the price does not suit them, and the In difference with which they treat present quota tions would indicate that they are not suited. Despite the small amount of tonnage in sight for immediate loading, freights are still drag ging, distant tonnage showing a decline of nearly 2s within the past month.

It was a dull day In wheat until shortly before the close. Early in the day there was some strength on cables and light receipts. Price changes, however, were very small most of the morning. July opened a shatfe higher to unchanged at 740 74C, and sold up to 74&a After this slight ad vance the market hung dull and listless. There were numerous bearish incentives, but tho bears were not Inclined early to do much With them. Argentine shipments were liberally In creased. The crop prospects were exception ally good. In the last hour of business the bears took advantage of the apparent lack of energy in the wheat market and put on pres sure. Liquidation brought out some stop-loss orders; there was no export support, and prices slumped to a weak close, July 52ic down, at 73U073&C Corn ruled the strongest of the pita until wheat broke. The small receipts were bullish in their effect, and country offerings were small. But crop prospects were too good to give the market any decided bullish snap. Wheat had a weakening effect as the market grew dull. July closed weak, -H0Kc lower, at Blftc Oats were the center of more interest than for several days past. The general tone most of the day was strong, but trade was light, and the weakness in other grains worktd against the early advance. July closed steady a shade lower, at 3?U0373sC Provisions had top narrow a mairket to allow of the general liquidation that was forced by longs unloading. The close was weak. July pork closed 12tfc lower, lard and ribs, &37Kc lower. The leading futures ranged as follows:. WHEAT. Opening- Hlchet. Lowent. Closing May ......

Linseed Stocks Rose on Rumors of a Combination. NEW YORK. May 23. Today's stock mar ket was dull to the point of stagnation. The prices In London Induced an Improvement at the opening here, but It was lost through mere inanimation. Until the last hour there was hardly enough motive power to show any di rection in the movement with tho exeention of ome special stocks. There was aulte a demand for the National Lead stocks, due to the expectation that the company would bene fit from a proposed, combination in an allied branch of the trade. Tie American Linseed stocks rose on rumors of a combination of the vegetable oil interests. The firmness of Amal gamated, Anaconda and Smelting was dhe to the conUnued reports or the widening demand for raw copper, both here and abroad. The improvement in the copper trade is an in fluence extending far beyond the stocks Imme diately affected. The allegation Is made that the recent heavy exports of copper are going abroad, in part, at least as stocks art to get the benefit ot the cheaper money rates over there for holding purposes. There was a re newal of the recent strength in Canadian Pa. clfic. but when the advance reached 1& it halted. Pacific Mail's 2-polnt rise was un explained. The George Fuller siocks made wide advances, and the New York public utll lilts and Colorado Fuel developed late-strength. the latter rising 2. The appearance of the preliminary figures -of the week's movement of currency awakened more animation than at any time during the day. Outside or those Blocks alreadv mentioned ihr nfTwt- w.ik ntit notable except in St. Ptful, Union Pacific and Atcnison. Tne currency flcurea indicate a net gain by the banks on the Interior movement of nearly $5,000,000, which Is supplemented by a. gain on Subtreasury operations ot $5C5.000. Bankers are generally agreed that there has bcenj). further heavy contraction of loans and reduction of deposit liabilities. It will be seen that the promise is for an extremely favorable bank statement. Tho response la the stock market was very moderate. Possibly this was due to the fact that the Inward movement of currency has been checked. New York ex change at Chicago fell back today to near par, compared with 00c premium early In the weak. There was transferred today through the Sub treasury $200,000 to New Orleans, following the like amount transferred yesterday. There was a call today for a 25 per cent installment of cash on subscriptions to the steamship merger syndicate, which calls for $12,500,000, of which aboutG0 per cent Is payable in New York. The transaction did not cause a ripple today in the local money market. The deter mined, waiting attitude of the market seems to be due tc the uncertainty of the coal strike and to the approach of the critical period ot the corn crop. The latter Is receiving more and more attention every day, and is destined to have a greater influence on speculation than any other one factor. Definite news Is also awaited of the result of the Boer peace confer ence. Confidence Is growing that there will be a favorable outcome. The bond market was dull, but firm. Total salts, $2,200,000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call.

(To the Ed itor) In your leading editorial this morn ing on "Our Impending Calamity," one of tho millowners Is quoted as having said a few days ago: "We will stay until our men are ready to take off their hats, bow their heads and march back to the sound ot muffled drums." A little further on, fn the same editorial, you .mention my name In another reference and many peo ple have thereby acoredlted the first refer ence as being my words also. I wish to say that I have not used such -words or expressed any such sentiment. The man who did make the statement was not speaking seriously and was not attempt ing to express the real sentiments of the millowners, for there is not the slightest disposition on the part of any one of them to humiliate any employe.
