May ll.^Our market opened slightly easier and was Inclined to sac on Haturday realising, but the unfavorable weather forecast for the western half of the belt prom ising showers and colder for Texaa, the territories, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mlsalsslppl, caused It to turn about at once. Prlcea Jumped by 3 and 6 points, the new crops showing 25 points ad vance In the next five minutes. Indi cations do not point to any heavy rains, but the tension la so great that any forecast of showers haa material effect. Weather conditions during the R ist twenty-four hours were favorable. o precipitation In the belt, generally fair weather prevailed and seasonable temperatures. Generally fair weather Is promised east of Mississippi, to be followed by showers and cooler Mon day. There was free selling on the ad vance, supposed to be tor New York account, as that market was the first to rtact, but the temper Is so bullish that most of the early gain was maintained. For Monday all depends on Che extent of rains In the central states and north Texas. If showers are only moderate, disappointment may cause freer realis ing. New York. May 18.-J. B.

Aside from a limited quantity of flour snapped up where offers were out oil the old basis of prices, busU ness was not stimulated. With wheat com ma udlug around 31 u bushel, buyers believe that the advance Is not legitimate and re* fuse to take flour. Even shipping directions on old orders are not coming In very rapid ly, resellers no doubt doing the bulk of tho business that Is current.

IT WAS FAVORABLE Trading Was Very Dull and Mostly by Pro fessionals. New York. May 18.—For the first time this week, today brought a share cheek to the extravagant .peculation on the grain markets. Weather repurta were more reaaaurlng than on the pre. vlous daya, but thla waa evidently not the main Influence., A rush of specula, tor. to secure some of the handsome profits from the bull campaign wax what really happened this morning and the price of the leading wheat optlm, fell abruptly 4c on the bushel. The stock market, however, paid very little attention to the wheat fluctuation. Neither did It much notice much of the increase In surplus In bank reaerve nor the shares reaction which to„k place In sterling exchange. A alotv liquidation seemed to be In prugn,, In various quarters, notably In the group of Southern railroad atocke, and the tone of the whole market waa de. pressed at this exhibition of weakneee. No reason appeared for the selling of St. Paul and the Hill Issues other than the somewhat dubious outlook In the spring territory. The stock market closed dull and rather heavy. New York, May IS.—The publication of the bank statement teemed tn bare r.r. little Influence on the aleck market. Tr«,f.
