- 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. Shipments from
Argentina, Australia and India in the past
week were reported by the Merchants Ex
change as follows:

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.

. New York Conditions.
There Is a - litUa Eastern inquiry for hups,
but it is not resulting in business.
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. Pacitlc Cuast hops are f-i'ei-etl
in some con Hide rait to q uu initios, es
pecially of the nu'dium and low qua) tt k.S(
but they meet with very little demund.
English factors' trade circulars say in
part:
Wild. Neame & Co., London ''hero is no
alteration to report on our market. Busi
ness Is quiet, and values for the few lots
changing hands must be quoted in buyers'
favor.

EASTERN' WOOL MARKET VERY DILL.

BOSTON. May 27. 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.
The outlook is not favorable for a materially
increased activity in the near future.

Iron ana Steel Trade Is Steadily
Expanding- Structural - and Ag

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.
Business failures in the I.nited States
for the week ending May 20 were 2011,

EVE OF A THREE DAYS' HOLI
DAY IX WALL STREET. "
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

WHEAT PIT CALMER
Market Is Weak but Not
Demoralized.
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.
Provisions hrm, because of a lighter
run of hogs an.t on account of demand for
May ribs. Pork closed 13 -to 47!ic higher;
lard advanced 17 Vj ' 20c, and ribs 22 yi to
