Previous Condition of Lethargy Con tinues In New York Stock Market-Money Is Easy. NEW YORK, May 31. Three days of leisure for the contemplation of stock market pros pects did not result Jn any accession of specu lative confidence so far aa revealed by the meager dealings and the halting and narrow fluctuations today. The market showed no essential change from its recent lethargic character. The firm tone of the London mar ket and the Saturday bank statement, which was called favorable by commentators, were worth a fractional rise this morning, which amounted to an average of about Prices then slipped back to below last Friday's level. The nominal cause was the suspension of a firm on the "cotton exchange, but, although the failure was announced as due to a de falcation with no bearing on the market of financial conditions, tho market failed to re cover its lost ground. News of the day was not important, but it offered some more favorable features than for some time past. The market Ignored these. The weekly crop bulletin of the Weather Bureau was encour aging as regarding the Winter wheat crop. and was distinctly hopeful for the start of the Spring wheat crop. The cotton crop also was shown to have Improved. The tenor of the weekly talks by traffic officials of the railroads was distinctly affected by the bright er hopes felt for tho crops, which have had some effect in turning the downward slide of railroad traffic In evidence since the mid' die of April. The Erie statement was the important example today, with" Its decline In April not compared with last year of $233,313. cr nearly 20 per cent. The stocks of the comuany suffered from this showing. The Paris money market gave further sign of the satisfaction of it demand for gold. but the price of sterling exchange continued to advance and the possibility of a movement of cold to London direct was discusseu. Money was easy la all departments of the money market as a result of the name state ment. There was a light covering movement by shorts late In tho day, but the closing was easy. A number of Inactive Donas maae wiae ae- dines from lone preceding sales, and the gen. eral tone was heavy. Total sales, par value, si.340.000.

BREAK IN MAY WHEAT. Came Late and Did Not Seriously Affect Other Deliveries at Chicago. CHICAGO, May 31. The break in May wheat did not come until near the close of the day's trading. The market opened weak as a result of lower prices a Liverpool. July Started c down at 8585c Sentiment soon changed, however. Figures connected with the weekly statistics of international trado were lesa bearish than they have been for some weeks past, and excessive rains had fallen In many sections of the Southwest. The bullish reports from the Southwest were partially substantiated by liberal purchases by St. Louis houses and by the strength in that market. The corn market here also showed decided strength. In consequence, an Improved demand developed in the wheat pit. The weakness with which trading began was not only arrested, but was in a short time retraced by a fair degree of strength. On a good commlsston-bouse demand, July graa ually advanced to 86c After the first hour th market experienced a long interval 01 dullness, transactions being largely 01 scalping nature. The question as to tne size of the outstanding short lines of May wheat had acted as a check on many traders, but as the session wore away without any sensa tional uDturn In the price of that delivery tne conviction that shorts had practically covered their lines gained ground. This resuitea in large selling In future deliveries, causing a weak undertone. During the last hall nour fha ffnttir of the trading was the wiae fluctuations of May. In which month, however, llcht. From 93c. the price suddenly dropped to 93c. A quick rallv to 98c followed. The close was at 97c. in.. ninir off to S5Uc July closed at 85c An active demand from snorts, wuu com paratlvely light receipts, caused an extremely strong corn market. Aavices irom wu Kansas were bullish, the crop in inai sec tinr, h!nr renorted greatly injured by floods ThB market closed strong. July opened at inr.

Good Oranges Scarce and Firm-Old Potatoes Dragging and Weak Dairy Products Easy. SAN FRANCISCO. May 3L (Special.) The important event In grain market was the ar rival of the first carload of California new bar- 1 ley of the season from San Joaquin Valley, one day ahead of last season's first arrival. The new grain was well matured and classed as choice bright feed, and was auctioned at $1.07, that price being a premium over the asking rate for old feed and given for the honor of securing the first new barley. Old barlev was weaker for spot and futures on heavy arrivals, liberal offers, the advent of the now crop and predicted showers. Wheat also weakened. Oats, feedstufts and hay were steady, with moderate business. The fruit market was liberally supplied with berries, cherries, apricots and figs all quoted lower, with trade fairly active. Good oranges were In slender supply and firm. At the auc tion yesterday six carloads of navels and Valenclas, mostly in poor condition, 6old at 5c0$2.15. Bannnns and pineapples were in ample supply, but selling well. Cantaloupes and watermelons from tho South -were in moderate supply. New potatoes were active and steady de spite liberal receipts from the. river. Old potatoes were weak and dragging. New red onions were easy. Strlnjc beans declined under large receipts. The first Alameda green corn of superior quality arrived. Good tomatoes were firm. Dairy products, except fins- ranch eggs, were weak, Los Angeles buyers have withdrawn from tho local butter market.
