STOCK MARKET CLOSES STEADY Leading Issues Rally From 1 to 2 Points. NEW YORK, May 10—The stock market closed steady today. Nearly all the active Issues rallied from 1 to 2 points. There was a sudden demand for International Taper, which rose over 4 points to 661*. United States Steel rallied H of i point to 84%, while Crucible recovered 2 points to 82%. Mexican Petroleum was strong, advancing OTer 3 points to 152%. The railroad shares were dull and practically unchanged. American Sumatra Tobacco, after falling 8 points to 63',*, rallied 2 points. Studebaker recovered from 80% to 82%. Total sales stocks today were 905,800 ■hares; bonds, 312,135,000. (By Thompson & McKinnon.) —May 10— Notwithstanding the fairly satisfactory news from Europe this morning, there was a very decided falling ofT in the public demand for stocks and though the market acted fairly steady during the early moment of the session, weakness soon developed as a result of a resumption of professional selling, which was followed by some commission house liquidation. American Sumatra was the weak feature of the day and will no doubt revive discussion as to the future dividend policy of the company. From the action of the market and the general gossip it looks as the dividend is not certain. The motor shares were under pressure during the first half of the session. The rails acted fairly well and the same may be said of the coppers. One of the leaders in the copper Industry has given utterance to some very encouraging views and suggests the likelihood of a speedy resumption of operations based tlh* idea that afTairs In Europe will i permit of the export of the ] red il. New financing by Kelly-Spring-and additional stock to be offered the American Telephone and Tele--41 had an adverse effect on these issues. The recent decline In the market, as we view the situation, is largely the result of technical conditions. Stocks were bought rather liberally during the last week and this has been In a measure corrected by the reaction. We may have a little more Irregularity, but we apprehend no further decline of consequence and regard the market as in • better position now to respond to improved news. TWENTY STOCKS AVERAGE.

WHEAT VALUES CLOSE LOWEST Heavy Selling Causes Declines —Corn and Oats Down. CHICAGO, May 10.—Grain prices dropped slightly today on a dull market on the Chicago Board of Trade. Heavy selling toward the close carried wheat quotations downward,' after a strong opening provisions closed lower. May wheat opened up l%c at *1.39% and closed off lc. July wheat opened at *1.14%, down %c, and closed off l%c. May corn opened up %c at 00%c and i closed off %e. July corn opened up %c at 62%c and "closed at that figure. September corn opened at 63c, up %c, and closed unchanged. After opening up %c at 37c, May oats dropped %c. July oats opened at 40c, up %c, and closed off l%c. September oats opened up %c at 40%c, and closed off %c. (By Thompson & McKinnon.) —May 10Wheat —While the crop news has none of It been radical, It was noticeable that previous complaints from Oklahoma were confirmed by good people and that claims of retrogression were coming from a wider territory. This was offset by the lack of export trade and by a generally slow cash market. The general tenor of the crop complaints is to be discovered iu a statement made by the Kansas Bureau of Crop Estimates towlt: “Present conditions arouse no enthusiasm. Crop lacks strength and vigor.’’ We again refer :o the extremely small accumulations at western terminal markets. Out of the ent r visible supply there are only 5,505,000 bushels outside of seaboard ports. In the milling centers, the largest stfck Is iu Minneapolis, but it is only 2,1189*09 bushels. All other centers, namely Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, St. Eouis, Toledo and Buffalo, range from 785,000 in Kansas City to 65,000 In St. Louis. Even though it is true that cash wheat is losing its premium, it is still selling anywhere from 25 to 45 cents over the July price. It occurs to tu that with supplies at western termluais well nigh exhausted, and current receipts selling at fancy premiums, there will be an excellent demand for all new wheat offered. The cash position should continue to furnish a foundation for the entire market, with the trend of prices for a time to be discovered In the character of the crop news. Corn and Oats —Practically all advices are unanimous In claiming large reserves of corn still in first hands. It is commonly nccepted that the movement of corn and oats to commercial centers should slowly Increase, reaching fairly good proportions when spring work Is completed, Some unfavorable reports ou oats are coming from central Illinois. | These are to the tffect that the growth has been considerably delayed by wet, eold weather. We expect the markets to be simply a reflection of the wheat action. Provisions— Hedging sales from smaller packers came Into the provision market which lacked support. Trade was limited but tone heavy. The Government report on hogs shows smaller losses through the winter than'a year ago and a better condition that a ten year average. / CHICAGO GRAIN. —Mav 10— WHEAT— Open. High. Low. Close.
