THE MOKMMjK OfcliliOMAN, SATUHUAY, MAY 1U1U. . x - WHEAT VERY WEAK But Holders in the Northwest Are Not Unloading. PRICES DECLINE STEADILY Surplus of Fairly Iiarge Size "Will Ho Carried Over Into the New Crop Ivooal Demand Is Xoor. A very wv ak tone prevails in thr local wheat market; as is to be expected in view of the steady decline in prices at Liver pool and the sharp slumps that have taken place In tha Chicago market. Notwith standing the depression, there has been, no effort made by farmers or other holders jn the Pacltlc Northwest to unload. A lit tle wheat is fytering out, but th3 selling Is by no me genera t. The steadiness with which the farmers are hanging on indicates that there will be a considerable carry-over of 2,00 0.000 or 3,000.000 bushels into the next crop, besides what the mil lers will have. As for the demand, it is exceedingly dull. A little inquiry is com ing from California points, but elsewhere no interest .Is shown. No one pretends to say what the course of the foreign markets will be in the im mediate future, or whether or not the de cline lias run its course. The weakness is supposed to be due to the good crop abroad, the present favorable weather and the large movement of wheat.

Crop prospects In the Pacitlc Northwest are fairly good, though rain is needed in a few sections. There lias been some rain fall lately In Oariield and the I'alouso, and a little in Umatilla. In the latter county and in "Walla Walla some improvement in the crop outlook is reported. In several sections, where the hard Wint?r rain caused a crust to form on the ground the grain is not looking very well. The oats and barley markets are quiet and none too steady, though holders aVe not putting their grain on the market at concessions.

Reports continue to come in of damage to the New York crop. A letter received jesterday said that undoubtedly damage had resulid from the frosts, but it would be several weeks before the extent of the injury could be definitely determined. One thing made plain was that there Is. a great difference in the condition of the New York yards. The Kentish Observer of May 12 says of the Kngiish hop market: Trado in hops is very quiet, consumers only buying for actual immediate require ments. In consequence of the searcitv of MOi'k prices are not affected by the slow state of business. Continental markets re main quiet, with practically all Die good qualities - sold.

The Commercial Bulle tin will say of the wool market tomorrow: With the exception of lo::i or into bales of ,low quarter-blood South American sold,- by two local houses to a prominent New England mill at 33c, nothing of consequence is being done .this week. Business generally .is fair, the leading mills of the country being op posed to operating even at bottom prices. The Boston merchant can neither sell wool in quantity to the manufacturer nor buy the wool in the West at prices warranted by present condition?. Small sales of Ohio fleece are being made at 20c for quarter-blood and at 29 to 3ic for three-eightlis and half-blood, but It will not be surprising if values decline still further.

CROP PROSPECTS BRIGHT Iron ana Steel Trade Is Steadily Expanding- Structural - and Ag ricultural Steel In' Demand. Buying of Cottons Limited. XEW YORK, May 27. R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow will way: Changes in the business situation are in the line of moderate improvement. - Crop prospects are better and thl was plainly indicated by the downward tendency of prices. Visible improvement Is taking place In the iron and steel trade. There ' is a larper de mand for both pig Iron and for rtnished products, especially In agricultural and atruc tuial lines. Iemand from railroads' for equipment is somewhat restricted by uncer tainty regarding- freight rates, yet some good business in lolling stock is regarded as cer tain, and rails have been taken In moderate amounts. ' Buying of cotton goods; is limited and mills are still Indisposed to accept long contracts. Curtailment is growing as the crop eaon advances. The Uend of trade is toward im provement, however. In woolens and worsteds stock goods are being ofTered at concessions and mills are conservative in the matter of operation on Fall lines not under order. Trade in footwear continues flow and unsatr isfactory, large Jobbers throughout the coun try having failed to follow up Initial pur chases by supplementary buying, and curtail ment of production is1 a necessity. The ques-. tion yf price has apparently little bearing onf the volume of present traffic. Leather is generally inactive. Pronounced dullness continues to ru!e throughout tho hide market. TKADK KB PORTS FROM NOKTHWEST. Cool Weather, Though, Is Still a itar to Activity. - N-EW YORK, May 27. Bradstreets to morrow will say: Quiet still rules in trade and many lines of Industry, while speculation, especially in grain, seems in a weak stage, awaiting clearer, views of ultimate crop and price changes. Relatively most activity in job bing trade is centered in meeting current demands and Fall business still lacks form. Retail trade has shown some gain at leading Western markets, but is still classed as below expectations. I'nseasor ably cool w-eather is commonly assigned as the cause for backward trade, but there are still in evidence Aigns that uncertainty as to prices holds back future commitments. Relatively best trade reports come from the Northwest, b'.lt there Is rather more do ing at some Western markets, though cool, wet weather was a bar. to activily at most cities. Eastern advices are of slight gains in some lines, but of a quiet character as a whole. There is a continuance of the rather more cheerful feeling noted last week in Iron and steel, based 011 recognition of the effect of shutdowns upon crude production, and the apparent putting into effect of similar measures in the leading textile lines.

" T'ormal Announcement ol Sale oT St. I'aul Bonds in JParis Meets AVitlt No ltesponse. NEW YORK, May 27. The eve of a three days' holiday on the stock exchange is never conducive to much activitv. The stock market besides has been lapsing to ward dullness and neglect by a process of uncertain and narrowing fluctuations, which are characteristic of the market when in purely professional hands. The activity of the first hour was due to a rumor of the illn.?ss of J. P. Morgan which originated in Chicago. Meantime! Mr. Morgan is in Paris and was fn cable communication today with business asso ciates iu New York. The circulation of false rumors is hekl . generally to signify activity by a bear party. The subtlety of speculation Is capable however, of stimulating bear activity for the purpose of inviting supporting orders by interested powers, which may thus facil itate desired liquidation. Whatever the real purpose of the early operations, thev were discontinued, 'soon .and- the proceed ings for the rost of the day were almost devoid of interest. The lack of response to the formal an nouncement of the sale of St. Paul bonds in France to the amount of 250 000 0O0 francs brought out some professions of dis appointment. Tla fact need not cause sur prise when it is considered that this bond sale has been a constant subject of stock discussion and of stock market . influence lor weeks. The mere fact that iwws of the transac tion was allowed to become public at so early a stage of the negotiations affords a broad intimation - of the speculative use that it was sought to make of the incident The speculative effect of it was - found to be exhausted. The rout of the bull partv in wheat Is expected to have Important results. If it has served to to bring about natural conditions in that market. The course of the cetton market is equally Interesting to tho stock market ele ment. The fact that the Fall River cotton mills will close down all next week shows the bearing of the cotton market position on the genoral industrial situation The slightly firmer tone of the ' money market this week lends interest to the showing to be made bv the bank state ment to be published while the stock ex change is in recess. Over $1,000,000 has gone out - lw -Cans'Ia-this week and the movement of the interior has been against New -York. While the movement from the' Interior hs failen off considerably, there, are still indications of a substantial cash gain by the banks. Bonds were steady. Total sales, .par vali:.?. $1,235,000. Cnited States bonds were unchanged from last week's prices on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. Bid.

FALL IN PRICES CHECKED ratten Claims the Reports or His Holdings as Well as His Losses Have Been Greatly Exaggerated. rHItAGO. May 27. The tllghrmare con dition in the wheat trade cleared up this afternoon to a large degree. Light seda- ra l"e way of cash purchases by mill ing interests helped to steadv the over wrought nerves of speculators. Belief spread also that big holdings had been unloaded, or at least so reduced as no longer to form an immediate menace. Final figures were vic to c under vesterday on new crop futures and 2i3c down ior May. lhe first calming influence was an au thorized announcement by the defeated 4eader of the bulls that statements regard ng.hls holdings of wheat, as well as his losses, had been greatly exaggerated. Later came a surprise from an unexpected dlree Brokers acting for the firm with j , . ne was crmnected were found to be bidding up the price of corn in the teeth of the fact that demoralization at the time was unchecked In wheat, and that there was visible evidence of heavy selling of wheat by foreigners In this market. The European basis ot prices, indeed, seemed for awhile a bugbear that was leading the semi-panic. Early Indications appeared to point to a continuation ot the big smash of yesterday. The liquidation, however, though severe, was found, as the day wore on. to be a belated sort, with much good buving on the declines. There came information of a better milling call for cash wheat here. There was much covering by smaller shorts who had sold early, frightened by the thought of another day of general wreck. In the final quarter ot an hour there was some recession from the return of com parative firmness, and the tone at the close was weak. September. which had ranged between 01 Vsc and 2c. finished at 92Vc. a net loss of Vic. Mav dealt In most ly in small lots, closed at S1.03V4C a decline of 2c to 3c. Corn started out weak, was bid up sharp ly for effect upon wheat, and then declined on liquidation of miscellaneous accounts. September sold from 57 i 59 Vic and closed c oft at 7SVsc. Cash corn was in poor demand. No. 2 yellow closed at oai'i SBVac. There was considerable liquidation In oats. The leather was" reportedjsfts the nnost Im aginable for the growing crop. . covering by shorts pushed up the price of September, which, after f'tuating between 35V4c and 30c closed lSc gain, at 3c.
