Triers Ruled Steady, Except in a Vexr Line Light Receipts of Grain 3Iade Tradlns Very Dull. The month closed with a quiet day In trade circles!. Owins to unfavorable weather conditions the business of the month was disappointing in several line?, the dry poods houses, milliners and hat and cap dealers being among those who felt the unseasonable weather. The wholesale grocers enJoyed a very satisfactory trade, as did the hardware and iron merchants and druggists. On Commission row trade averaged well with former Mays, In the latter part of the month, but in the earlier part there was some complaint of dullness. The hide and leather markets ruled quiet and the month closed with prices weak at the revision of Wednesday. Steadiness in prices was a general feature of the month. In most lines goods are sold tu close marKins, but bills are met with such promptness and losses are so few that, in the aggregate, the wholesale merchant is fairly prosperous. The produce market, the entire month, was active, and prices were well sustained, ranging a little higher than in May of last year. The wool market was flow, cold weather being partly responsible. The flour market showed some activity, but In prices there were no changes calling for note. Not in many years has there been as litthe grain handled locally as last month, notwithstanding the fact that prices paid on this market ranged as high. If not higher, than on competing markets. The last ten days of the month there was some increase In receipt?, but not by any means were they as great as the market Justified. The month closed with track bids, as reported by the secretary of the Board of Trade, ruling as follows: Wheat-No. 2 re 1. Tic; No. 2 red. on milling freight. 74c. No 3 re I.

The stock market devlopc! quite a buoyant tone and the activity was still further increased, giving the market a Rood deal the appearance again that It ottered during the boom period. The strength became very general during the progress of the day, but the effect was in part sympathetic and flowed from the conspicuous strength of prominent fctoeks. The current conjecture in the street pointed to a conclusion that the movement of the principal stocks v.as due to operations by the llarriman-Rockefel-ler-Gould element, and to those of the Pennsylvania Railroad in retaliation. The advances scored in the London market during the holiday, yesterday, and before trading was commenced here to-day, gave the market a good start at the opening, and there were many gains ranging between one and two points. After the preliminary reaction, due to selling, to tako profits, by the buyers of Wednesday, Atchison moved very aggressively upwards on an absorption of thousand-share lots. During the rest of the day there were successive developments of similar movements In other stocks, notably Pennsylvania, Union Pacilic, Southern Pacific, Missouri Pacific and the Southern Railway stocks. The buying of Atchison came from many sources, apparently In an effort to disguise Its origin, but the prevalent opinion wa3 that a large part of it was for Philadelphia account and in the Interest of the Pennsylvania Railroad. A large speculative pool was also active in the stock and helped along the advance by manipulation. The buying of Southern Railway was attributed to the game source, and confident predictions were heard that announcements would soon be made of Pennsylvania control in the tornrany. The advance in Atchison reached li. in the preferred 2: Pennsylvania ZV-z and Southern Hallway 3. as a result of this buying. The movement in Union Pacirice, Missouri Pacific, Southern Pacific and the Southwesterns generally was almost equally Impressive, Union Pacirlc rising an extreme 4, Kansas & Texas preferred 37. Southern Pacific 3?i and Missouri Pacific 3V4The street was full of well-defined rumors that a settlement had been agreed upon between the contending interests in Northern Pacific which would result in even stronger conditions in the railroad world than at present. This was the underlying cause of the strength in the market, but the railroads in the Southern region responded much more notably than those in the Northern region. New York Central rose 2 and Baltimore & Ohio 21;. apparently In sympathy with Pennsylvania. The so-called greater Missouri Pacitic retained its full forces as a factor. The decided strength of the United States Steel stocks also had a considerable influence. There was talk of an early dividend on the common stock. It advanced and the preferred 2. Amalgamated Copper rose nearly 4 points in spite of the reported formution of an opposition corporation. The combination of the opposition was said to be preliminary to its absorption by the Amalgamated Company. The stock reacted later, and closed with a net gain of less than 2 points. There were gains of from 2 to 4V2 in a number of other Industrials. Uvansville & Terre Haute rose 7l-2. Des Moines fc Fort Dodge 4Vfc. and Twin City Rapid Transit 3U. Preliminary estimates of the bank statement indicate that the Inflow of cash from the interior had more than offset the losses by the banks to the subtreasury, which include the payments to the assay oflice for the gold bars exported. The market closed active and strong at a rally from a late reaction, and with many stocks at the top. Ponds shared in the strength of the stock market on a considerable volume of dealings. Total sales, at par value, $1,215,000. United States refunding twos, advanced H per cent, on the last call. Following are the day's share sales and the closing bid prices; Closing Stocks.

UNION STOCKYARDS, INDIANAPOLIS. May 31. Cattle Receipts. S00; shipments, 400. The receipts of cattle for five days show an increase of over 1,000, compared with the same time last week, and 1,100, compared with the corresponding time a year ago. The receipts to-day were small for a Friday market. The quality represented was fully equal to the average heretofore this week, and some of the best steers that have been here since last Friday were represented. The market opened with a good inquiry from all buyers for strictly dry-fed, well-matured cattle, -and that class changed owners at steady to strong prices. The good kinds of cattle, that is the class just below the top, were also quotably steady, but the market for inferior to fair stock was less active than It has been for several days and the tendency v.as toward a lower basis in prices. Sales Included choice 1,379-lb export steers at $6, with loads averaging around 1,300 lbs at 55.60-0 5.80. Full loads of heifers sold as high as $3, and a large proportion of the supply sold above 14.50. There were no cows reported above $4.50, but choice kinds sold in connection with heifers as high as ?5.

Hogs Receipts, 5,500; shipments small. Combined receipts of hogs for five days show a decrease of 5.500. compared with the same time last week. The receipts to-day were small, showing a decrease of over 2.000. compared with last Friday, and 2,500, compared with a year ago. The market opened wdth both packers and shippers in the field, and with evidence that there would be very good competition. Some of the opening sales were at quotably steady prices, compared with yesterday. Soon, however, without having made a purchase, shippers withdrew from the market, and thi?. of course, weakened packers. Later sales were unevenly lower, with the les3 desirable light mixed hogs generally considered 21'U5c below yesterday. Klngan & Co. bought practically all of the supply, and they were exceedingly reasonable, all things considered. Sales ranged from $5.65 6, and $3.75 was practically the low point.

The receipts of sheep and lambs thus far this week show an Increase of about 400 over the same time last week. The receipts to-day were small, being only about half as large as a week ago. The quality of the arrivals was not very satisfactory, and this, together with discouraging reports from other places, made buyers backward and Indifferent. It was more difficult to consummate sales, the tendency was decidedly weaker, and the conditions indicate that lower prices may be expected in the future.

BULLISH DAY IN WHEAT

LACK OF HAIX OIi:HATi:S TO 31 A K LI jim.iii;k i'hici:s Corn Also Shows an Advance, hot Oats nml the Hok Produef Heilster Small Decline. CHICAGO. May 31. The weather constituted the most potent factor In to-day's wheat market, July wheat closing "ic higher, July corn 8c higher, July oats 8c lower and provisions from a shade to 5c lower. Firm cables and reports of bad weather conditions in the West gave the wheat market a strong tone, and the July delivery opened USsC improved, at 74Vic to 74H&"lc. These figures tempted a considerable number of sellers, chiefly of the professional class, and there was an early decline to 7488c, where the market steadied and fluctuated narrowly till the middle of the session, when active covering of shorts caused a reaction, which prevailed until the high price of the day (74"ic) was recorded. This acute advance was induced largely by new reports of damage by Hessian fly and further stories of drought in sections where rain is badly needed. Later authentic advices were that while some damage had been suffered it was not widespread, and as a result there was a biff Increase in the offerings and the market declined to Tic. After this period of protit taking buying was renewed, and the close was firm and T4c higher, at 74'74-Hc. The volume of trade was large. Argentine shipments for tho week were 624.000 bushels, against S03.000 the week before and 73G.0O0 a year ago. Clearances at the seaboard of wheat and flour were equal to 5SC.O00 bushels. Primary receipts were SSS.Oöo bushels. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 650 cars, against 199 last week and 714 a year ago. Three loads of wheat were taken for export. Local receipts were sixty-four cars, one of contract grade. The corn market was firm, though trade was light and receipts were moderately generous. As in wheat, the dry weather exerted a bull influence. July torn opened unchanged to Uc higher, at 4iVti44ic. benefiting by the strength in wheat. A fair outside demand developed and the price improved early to 41R8c. where it steadied. Later the export demand, which was of moderate degree, induced a further advance to 415i'tj41:Uc- A period of liquidation was Inaugurated and a reaction to 4Hc followed. The close was steady and c higher at 44lc. Four loads were reported taken for export. Local receipts were 54 cars, 128 of contract grade. Oats were active, but liquidation caused a fractional reduction in prices. July sold between 2slic and 2Sc and closed 'c lower, at 2838ij2SHc. Local receipts were 36 cars. Trading In the speculative branch of the nrnviinn business was on a small scale, with a small decline in prices of leading commodities as the net result. Hog prices were lower despite small receipts, yet provisions opened improved. July pork sold between $14.GT and $14.72 and closed 2Hc lower, at $14.65; July lard between MS and . . r 1 n 9u 1 nnH lull S ClOSlng OC lUWll, A. muij ribs between $7.S7H ar.d $7.00. closing a shade lower, at $7.877.'j0.

Texas Oil aid Land Co Owns in fee simple 521 acres of land in the Beaumont district in four tracts surrounding the big gushers, and 640 acres in Kern count, California, known the world over for its production of oil. Development work now begun on the Texas holdings. Remember that oil wells are better than gold, silver or copper mines, and longer lived, as some of the best wells in California have produced for over Uenty years. More California millionaires owe their wealth to oil than to gold, and many a man struggling to make both ends meet, on a salary of 75 or 100 per month, invested one or two months salary in the first issue of some promising oil company, is now enjoying the luxuries of life. To show you how stocks have gone in California, where a 1000-barrel well is a phenomenon, and a 100- . barrel a bonanza, we give the following quotations of a few companies, operating
