Produce receipt were liberal, and prices ruled steady. Oregon str&trberrles -were more plentiful, but the most of the Southern Oregon receipts -were of not much better quality than the California stock, and sold as low as 10c and 12Vto. Some Hood River or Dai'ea brrles arrived !n very Eood condition, and sold at l'hic California in good order a quoted at $1 S3 per crate. There -was but little Improvement In the de mand for potatoes, and as new potatoes are reported earner In San Francisco It begins to look as though the top price of the season was well In the rear, and the remaining stock would nred to be sold at lower figures. There was a veaker fsellnff in oats yesterday, buy ers bavins secured all that Is needed Tor the present lor rhipment. and the local demand being too small to make much impression on the mari:et. Butter and eggs were In good de mand yesterday, and poultry also cleaned up better than usual. There were no changes in groceries, but thero Is an increased demand re ported for sugar. Some dealers are expecting a change in this great staple, but as yet it Is a difficult matter to tell whether it will be up or down. Wlllctt &. Gray, in their latest circular, have the following regarding sugar: s - "The country rin as comparatively bare of aU. fcs while wait' ., for final de elopments re g&'ding Cuba. There are no Indications that further concessions in prices arc likely to be r a c in refined, unless Indeed there should bo a break in the raw sugar market below 3-Jse for centrifugals, which by some Is considered rven now to be a possibility arising from tha general situation In Europe as to the possibility cf bcrt sowings being kept higher than the cu rent conditions and future prospects will t ar.ani- This Is a matter of great Importance at the moment, and must bp watched with carefulness, as the future of 'the market and the welfare of the holders of the 443.000 tous of sugar remaining in the Island of Cuba al most entirely depend upon it."

Bears Gala Control and Cause a Gen eral Slump In Prices. CHICAGO, May 29. Most of the Influences In the wheat pit favored sellers, with the sup port from a strong quarter. ,The comparative firmness of the foreign markets kept prices fairly firm for the first hour. Buying by & big bouse brought In a number of tallers and helped prices. For a time corn helped wheai, but it soon became apparent that the bears had the situation In hand again. Tho weather in the Winter wheat country was rainy, and in the Northwest clear and warm. Bears laid great stress on this argument, and were thriv ing on fine crop prospects. Receipts were In creasing. No additional export business came to the relief, and everything slumped. July opened a, shade to Uc lower, at 72sQ'"23ic. and dipped to 72c closing weak. a down, at 72&072UC. In corn, cables showed Indifference to oar (lump yesterday, and the bull crowd supported the market fairly well for a time. Trade turned very bearish later on heavy recipls, bears sold short, and crop reports were good. July closed weak, .c lower, at 62tt3S24c. The only feature of the trade in oats was tho nervousness accompanying the "May deaL" Several small traders In this option did some business. Many of tho shorts In May are set tling quietly with the operator who success fully cornered that deliver. It Is now thought the "deal" Is practically over. July followed corn, closing weak "43 ?Jc down, at 3o"c. The leading futures ranged, as follows: WHEAT. " Openlnc HlstBMt. Lmrnt.

General Conditions, However, Point to a Continuance of Ironperlty. NEW TORK. May 29. An optimistic view of the outlook in the iron and steel trade is taken by tho Iron Age, la today' Issue. Tho article says: Requirements of the eteel trade are at pres ent commanding the most attention. It Is re ported that the United States Steel Corporation is negotiating with the valley furnaces for 100, 000 tons of Bessemer pig Iron for delivery next year, probably Tunning into the second quar ter. This follows htavy purchases of Bescemer pig iron by other consuming interests. If this negotiation is consummated, the valley fur naces will have their surplus product com pletely disposed of until next April at the earliest. It is further reported on good author ity that the United States Steel Corporation has purchased 50,000 tons of Southern basic pig iron. The price obtained is stated to be equal to $19 15 Pittsburg. Hravy quantities of fcrelcn ferro-manraneBB have been purchased, mainly for delivery In and about Plttsburtr. aprpcpti!. orvi ... Eastern steel works have purchased about 6000 tons of low phosphorus plr Iron In EnE-!ad . about f22 50 laid down here. These occur rences emphasize the activity prevailing among st-el manufacturers. The ontlnaed strike of the anthracite coal miners le causing increased trouble to Eastern consumtrs of pig iron. Several furnaces in Eastern Pennsylvania have been obliged to bank for lack ot fuel. Thia Is creating troublo among foundries particularly, and Interferes seriously with thr: booking of new business. The belief Is now entertained that tha blast furnace workers in Ohio and Western Penn sylvania will not striko June 1, as had been feared. A lare tennage of foreign steel billets Is be ing offered here through importing houses, so that the supply from tblis source frould seem law, 7Itt 71 73Vi 72g CORN. 625i C2 G2 CIV? t COVi OATS 434 li 35 35 37 ST" 23H 2S -SOU 3014 to be fairly adequate for early needv Foreign beams and other structural shapes are selling in fair quantities. Reports from the West say that for the first time In the history of the, trade, Implement-makers have, prior to June 1, placed their contrasts for their yearly requirements. General conditions throughout the Iron trad continue of & character to satisfy the most sanguine believer in a continuance of excessive prosperity. Scarcity exists in so many lines, and the consumers of all classes of products are so eagerly waiting for deliverance from furnaces and mills, that It will require a con siderable period to catch up, even with all works running to their utmost capacity. FAVORABLY "WEEK FOR TRADE. " Activity Still Rales Among the In dastrles. NEW YORK, May . Bradstrect's to morrow trill say: The week's developments have been largely favorabl. Crop conditions, particularly those of the Spring-sown cereals and cotton, have shown further Improvement. The labor situa tion, particularly that In the coal trade has likewise measurably improved, advices toward the end of the week pointing to the anthracite strike ending before tho position as to supplies becomes critical. Cool weather, it is true, has retarded retail demand and measurably checked business with Jobbers, and h-avj frosts have don damage to vegetables en the northern edge of the country, but this Is regarded as a mere temporary halt, and the general volume of business has been helped by the large amount booked for Autumn delivery. Among the Industries, activity still rules, with iron and steel, hardware, lumber, tho building trades and bituminous coal displaying exceptional activity. Failures continue well down to the minimum, and bank clearings are beginning to compare better with a year age Railway earnings hold all the former advan tages shown over preceding ycB. Gross rail way earnings returns to Bradstreet'a for the third week of May point to nearly 0 per cent Increase over a year ago. Large fruit crops are Indicated this year, and the same Is true of vegetables, but the latter are backward on cold weather. High prices Xor tobacco indi cated that a heavy acreage will be planted. Iron and steel are quiet as regards new busi ness la finished products, but there are reports of large transactions pending la the cruder forms. Wheat, including flour, exports for flva days aggregate 3,100,045 bushels, against 5,184,830 bushels last week, six days, and 4,138,070 bush els in this week last year. Wheat exports July 1, IDOL to date (48 weeks) aggregate 233,425,080 bushels, against 102.812,721 bushels last season.

Donbt em Fmtare Rese-arces f Meaey Market May Have Mere Iaaa eace Tkas Apparent. NBW TOItK, X&y . Th aew efjmrait ments In the stock market today were of en tirely insignificant proportions, because of ths fear of poeslbla developments of tho triple holiday. There was some closing of open ac counts, and as these proved to be mostly on the short side, Dm tono of the maj-ket was rather firm. In sympathy with the leaders. The movement In ths general list was 'listless and very narrow. The leader of tho market. In point of activity, was Reading, and Us ad vance of nearly 2 points was attributed, in large degree, to the demand from shorts to cover, in ths fear that a strike settlement might bo reached between now and next Mon day. The Immediate aews today did not favor such a presumption. President Fowler, of the Ontario & Western, authorized an emphatic denial of the reports that concessions to the strikers were contemplated on the part of ths operators. Th reported ntterance'ot F. P. Sar gent, of ths arbitration committee of the Clvlo Federation, that he believed a sympathetic strike would open among the soft-coal miners was also given some attention, but this did not reassure traders short of the market auln clently to induce them to remain uncovered for an interval of thrco days. The advance In Canadian Pacific was also renewed,in spite of denials of "reported buying for control In behalf of the Northern Securities Interest. An interesting feature of the week's currency movement is the shipment to Canada of some $2,000,000 by Canadian, branch banks, which is supposed to be dus to transactions in Canadian Pacific Notwithstanding the movement and the absorption of near $l,000,0CO on feubtreaa- ury operations, the receipts of cash from ths interior on balances are estimated, thus- far this week, at nearly $3,000,000, thus promising a rtrong bank statement for next Saturday. - The promise today of the Brltith Parlia mentary leader of a statement on next Monday concerning the peace negotiations was regarded j in speculative circles as tantamount to an an nouncement of peace. Today's bond market shared In the dullhess of the stock market, and the closing was stag nant below the best. Total sales, $?,230.000. Review of the TVee". Speculation la stocks this week has bee.n rather -neglected, and the course of prices has been hc!iat!ng and Irregular. This has been partly doe to the approach- of the triple holt day, with Us possibilities of important devel opment, at a time when the closed markt would preclude the opportunity for taking ad vantage 0 them. The continuation of the an thracite miners strike has had some repressive Influence upon speculation, but has not weak ened coal stocks themselves. The shortage of coal has had a perceptible effect upon other industries, notably Iron and $toel, and there has been the dread that the troublT would spread to the oft coal fields by sympathy, which would be a damaging thins for'tho iron trade. Other portions of tho steI list have not fared ro well as the coalers, and the explana tion of the heavy tone of the market Is not superficially plain. With the exception of the anthracite strike, conditions have appeared ex traordinarily favorable. In eplte of the great shrinkage in the volume of grain trafllc com pared with last year, railroad earnings con tinue to show an average percentage, of In crease over last year of 8 per cent or more. The movement cf general merchandise, espe cially westbound, Is very large, and railroad rates are said to be maintained with a steadi ness not experienced for a long" time. Ths maintenance of rates Is attributed In a degree to the results of Investigations by the Inter state Commerce Commission, bringing ont the fact of concessions on paoklng-bouse products, and leading to the Issuance of judicial Injunc tions to the railroad companies against disre garding public schedules. The news from the crop region during the woek has been uniformly favorable. The gen eral assumption of speculation is that the pres ent year's corn crop will be abundant, and only definite damsg to the .crop will disturb that assumption. Call Money Rate Likely ts Advance. The Tates for call money have fallen to sufch a low stage as to offer no apparent explanation of the dull speculation. Bet doubt cf the future resources of the money market may easily have more to do In restricting specula tion than Is evident. Not a few bankers ex press the vfew that money rates roust advance. and admit that they are keeping funds readily j available in caU loans rather than tie' tflero "up I In time loans. In the expectation that all I classes of Interest rates are to adtanee. The j large banking and rallroaa interests seem lo be agreed that policy forbids the encourage ment of speculative activity at thjs time, which might threaten a recurrence of the unheally conditions which have been relieved within a few weeks by a process of eredit contraction. The enormous borrowing abroad and from Inte rior points which has been accomplished neces sitates provision for future payments. Resump tion of large exports of corn, with thq maturing of the present crop. Is rtlled en to replenish the f-re!gn exchange market and facilitate remit tances for repayment of foreign obligations. The numerous comments upon the present large expansion of credits, both by banks and trust companies, and the inadequacy of the bank's cash reserves for both, is bolleved to have led the trust companies to adopt a policy of grad ual recuperation of their own cash reserves. The-bond market has been dull and Irregular. United States bonds were all unchanged, com pared with the closlpg call last week. ClettinK Stock Btatleaa. DESCRIPTION.
