C. L. Greeu A Oo.’s report says: “Under
rather bearish repo* ts from Liverpool and a
continued unsettled tone for silver, further
unloading of ‘long’ cotton pressed prices off
again some 4@5 points on the old crop. The
offering, however, was of a less determined
eharacter than last week, and with some
pretty good covering, noticoably on the part
of large ‘shorts,’ the decline was fully recov
ered and a good, steady tone carried to the
close. New crop was sparingly offered and
comparatively steadv throughout.’’

CHICAGO. May 17.—The tendency of the
wheat market was downward again to-day.
The opening was steady and the starting
price a shade higher than the close on Satur
day. June starting at 77c. Estimates as to
the visible supply also indicated a decrease of
1.500,000 to 2.000.000 bushels. 11l spite of this
the market soon turned weak, and June
brokooff to 7645*' tinder large nltorings.rallied
tl trifle, but toward the close of the regular
board broke off lo 75 13-loc, and closed at
75 15-16 c. In Hie afternoon June touched
75;gC, iiDU c'oaed in the latest trailing at 75Jac.
Private cables quote wheat inactive, present
supplies large, and future demand small.
The weather wi considered to favor the
growing crop The primary markets were
all sii-t, which increased the feeling of weak
ness here. The recent advance in corn was
almost entirely lost, irtferiugs being very free.

Buyers Halting—Among the Textile
Workers—Prices Terulint"Upward.
Philadelphia, Pa., May 17.—Four
combinations of employers were formed
last week in the New England and Mid
dle Status, representing 38,000 working
men. The movement is encouraged by
leaders of labor organizations, who
believe that this will lead faster to the
acceptance of arbitration and to the
establishment of by scales or
schedules.
Business has not improved perceptibly
fur a week. I.ar .e buyers are waiting to
judge what will be the outcome of the
shorter hour movement. Investments
aggregating into the millions are waiting
for the word “go.” The outflow of gold
will be brief. An early advance iu bread
stuff's is probable.
IKON AND STEEL.
The iron and steel production continues
at 110,000 tons per week for crude Iron,
7,000 tons per day for rolled iron and
28,000 kegs per day lor nails. Tne steel
rail output is at present 5,000 tons per
day, sufficient to lay 00 miles of track per
day. Tne total consumption of coal per
hour, day and night is 12,000 tons.
AN INCREASED OUTPUT.
The production of iron, steel, coal and
lumber is steadily increasing, and the
output of the current year will be not
less than 10 per cent, greater than las!
year, in three items 20 per cent. Buyers
are still holding off, owing to the labor
disturbances which threaten to extend
and involve as many as 1,000,000 workers.
Thfi congress nt trade unions is in session
this week in Philadelphia, and 00 unions,
representing 128,000 workmen, are repre
sented.
AMONG TDK BUILDERS.
Builders and architects report from
Boston, Now York and Chicago that by
June 1, a general revival of building will
take plane provided labor troubles quiet
down. Lumber dealers are making slim
mer contracts tor wbile and yellow pine
in large quantities at last year’s prices.
Brfckmakers and slate manufacturers
have closed large fall contracts at full
prices.
TEXTILE MANUFACTURERS.
The curpet, doth, hosiery and silk man
ufacturers are waiting for June to pass
before deciding on the course lor the last
half of the rear. Wool Is declining in
price and large quantities are arriving
from abroad. Textile machinery makers
report a sharp trade improvement. Four
locomotive and six or seven large car
works booked large orders for engines and
cars.
A NTH R ACITE COAL.
The anthracite coal trade Is strong and
active and production Is lOOJKfiI tons p*>r
day. The bituminous strike continues
and 30,C00 tons per day are kept out of the
market. The purpose of manufacturers
in to advance the prices of nearly all
kinds of manufactured products 5 to 10
per cent, to cover increased labor cost.
MONEY PLENTIFUL.
Money continues phenomenally abund
ant at the financial centres, but scarce
elsewhere. Lenders are offering country
bank funds to loan in many cases to se
cure the exceptionally high rural rates.
The trade prospects for the summer are
lair, but very much depends upon the
course of labor agitations during the
lie\t two weeks. I’rlccH incline to
weaken in several trades, simply because
demand is cheeked. There Is a proba
bility of extraordinary railroad building
during the last half of the year. Largo
loans are now in process of negotiation
for rail way and bridge building in the
West during the next 12 or 18 months.
