Weakness In; the wheat market was most apparent during the last 30 min utes of trading, but a downward ten dency of values had been shown from the start. The fact that Liverpool quo tations failed to reflect yesterday's ad vance here counted against the bulls, and so likewise did slowness of export de mand. Bids for wheat to be exported by way of the Gulf of Mexico were so un attractive as to make it more profitable for Illinois points to forward wheat to Chicago, a circumstance which seemed likely to cause a material increase of the movement to this market. Primary re ceipts of wheat .were again in excess of last year, and arrivals from the new spring crop were reported as gradually becoming larger.. Moreover, harvesting In the northern portion of the apring crop belt was said to be making excellent progress, with yields generally good. It was officially estimated that the Canadian crop would be about 20,000,000 bushels larger than iast year, but on the other hand the estimate was 2O.O14O.OOO bushels more than theArade had expected. Corn and oats reflected the action of wheat. Dealings were almost entirety !oca 1. Provisions averaged higher, with hogs, and as a result of some export buying of meats. 29 VI 12S 34 4 IS. 431. 71 25 -4 22. 56. r,3 38 94 16. 31. 116 824 3114 27 93 S 2.

There waT some bullish news in evidence early with the Canadian crop estimate of 820. 000,000 bushels about 20.000.000 bushels less than the trade expected, although it compared with 300,000.000 bushels har vested last year. . Those whd bought early went out of their holdings later and the undertone waa heavy toward the last. However, we note some change In sentiment among traders who have been very bear ish of late, and feel that It would not be good policy to take the selling side on the declines from the present level, as any change In the character of the news might cause a covering movement. Ex port demand slow, due partly to a great delay in cables. The movement prom ises to be greatly curtailed, as the out look for a settlement of the rail strike is less promising and the labor troubles are .increasing. Minneapolis reported 122 cars of new wheat there today. corn A hile railing to get into new ground prices averased lower and senti ment is as bearish as it possibly can be. Apparently coarse grains have no friends at the present time, although it is un derstood that practically all of the corn in store nere is now so d for shipment. which might result in tightness in the oepiemoer. ijrop reports, on the whole are ravorabla.

All financial markets opened and closed today with out knowledge of what decision had been reached at the conference of railway managers. That( the . president's plan for submitting te the railway labor board the status of returning strikers would in some form be accepted, the predominant. belief. The stock market displayed a good deal ot passive strength. But the rail way, shares hardly changed at all In price, and the advances which occurred in a few industrial stocks were merely speculative movements following the line of least resistance. The essential fact was the total ab sence of such pressure of sales as might- logically havewcome with apprehension of complications and disagreements which would Indefinitely prolong the ex isting situation. But this has been the characteristic phenomenon of the mar kets ever since the labor controversy reached its crisis. If it was deemed par ticularly significant today, that was be cause the overnight news of the break ing away from discipline by western trainmen at various points, without orders from the union, had seemed to provide material for fresh ureasinesa. It did not appear to have had any such reault. . For the day at any rate, financial Judgment evidently rested on the con siderations that the labor deadlock must be regarded as a whole;' that it is clearly in the interest of all parties to terminste it; that the struggle in the coal trade is in manifest course of set tlement, and that the rest must logically follow. The day's firmness in the stock mar ket was supplemented by a distinct re covery in European exchange, led by the rate on Paris, which reached the highest. J figure since Tuesday. This was a nt-JS ural result ol the caoiea news mat me French and English conferees at Lon don were still seeking ground for united action. The German mark did not re cover.
