There was none of yesterday’s buoyancy in
the stock market to-day, but instead there was
a dull, drooping market. The highest prices
were generally made in the first hour and the
lowest in the lust. There was no demand to
cover shorts this morning, and although London
was buyer, its operations were confined princi
pally to the V. abashes. Weakness developed
early in Missouri Pacific, and the room jumped
to tue conclusion that Mr. Gould was selling,the
result being that a decidedly heavy tone was
imparted to the entire list. The reported bar
mouious arrangement in Pacific Mail rendered
that stock exceptionally strong, and to-night it
is one of the few stocks which clos'd higher.
Grangers showed much less animation than on
yesterday, and though Rock Island made some
improvement early in the day it was entirely
lost, with something in addition liefore the close.
Under operations for London account Wabashes
were unusually active mid strong, but they
yielded with the remainder of the list in the
afternoon The opening was steady to firm,
first prices being either unchanged or slightly
above last evening's final figures In most eases.
A heavy tone was immediately developed, how
ever, Missouri Pacific being decidedly weak,
though declines were for fractional amounts
only. Pacific Mail was the conspicuous excep
tion, ljeing specially strong in the face of a
falling market. A rally followed, which, how
ever, failed to bring' prices up to the opening
figures, and before noon prices were again de
clining. After that time more decided weakness
was shown. New England leading the decline,
which continued well into the last hour. Frac
tional recoveries were made liefore the close,
which, however, was generally heavy at the
figures. The day’s business aggregated 230,000
snares. Nearly all the active list are lower this
evening, although the losses sustained are for
fractional amounts only, except for Milwaukee,
Lake Hhore and Western, which lost l jier cent,
and New England 1%. The following are the

“A less active but feverish market continued,
and operations were generally conducted with
great caution It is believed that the June move
is conducted by an oil!,side element, presumably
from the West, instead of by local operators as
originally supposed, and the room seems in
clined to adopt a non-committal policy until de
velopments ore somewhat clearer. Juno went
up 7 polnis this morning and lost it all after

Chicago, May B.— The wheat market had a
bullish temper to day.although prices fluctuated
rather w iidly at times. June wheat opened at
BV>ie, sold r;ipid|y to 80t$c and then reacted to
85, 4 c agWlijUnreift up to 88,14 c within the first
15 or 20 iqhiutei There was a heavy trade by
the largb li j-'bs, many of whom are pronounced
bulls, neresßStlly buyers. Around SSc w heat
was held qftitf pfeady, but operations on both
sides were unite W);ge. Irwin .t Green bought
1,500,000 bushels' of June of George C. Walker &
Cos. at 88(&t(liWg.. Walker offered tb first lot of
100,000 Which was taken iiy Ware, of
Irwin ft Gri'eE's.' Walker then began running
up the otT'h' 100.000 bushels at a jump until it
aggregated 1,600,000 bushels, which went in one
lump at. 86c. After that the market
dragged a little, under the pounding started by
a few liears, with the aid of some bulls who
wanted an opportunity to fill up at a cheap
price, and they succeeded in putting the price
back to 8514 c. where it stood half an hour before
the close of the morning session. The market
then fell off to Ss'4c. Shortly after the tap of
the iiell for the afternoon session the crowd dis
covered that the short interest was altogether
too large, and everybody commenced to scram
ble for June wheat. That option went, from
85(40 to 86ter without stopping, and Just liefore
the close it had a little reaction to Astj(c. Clear
ing., from the seaboard aggregated 301,000 bush
els. Charters for *280,000 bushels were reported
here t. day. Corn was quiet and prices showed
little change. Oats were quiet ami featureless.
Moss pork was marked up 50e a barrel, with
very little open trading. Lord ruled s@7((jc
