CHICAGO, May 29.-There was an excited
market for all the cereals on Change to-day.
with lower prices prevailing, and the downward
movement extended also to provisions The
receipts Of both wheat and corn were large, and,
with no particular outside support savage raid
was made by the bears" which carried prices
to the lowest point current since April 19. and
nearly four cents lower than one week ago. This
was done in spite of the most damaging reports
which have yet been received concerning the
growing winter wheat crops The bears" con-
tend however, that until the large stocks here
and at Duluth have been worked off, lower prices
are bound to prevail, and they enforced the
argument by ndulging in great deal of short
selling and also drawing 'long' wheat
The claim is made. however, that some very ex-
tensive lines OF long" wheat are being pur-
chased in the perfect confidence of very high
prices for wheat when the crops condition once
is appreciated. July wheat sold at one time at
Size, which is 10 cents under the highest price
reached during the year for that option. The
feeling In the afternoon was somewhat frmer
on the statement that there was more shipping
inquiry, but the advance was not marked and
the market closed for the day cent under yes
terday. The receipts of corn were large--623
cars, and, influenced by the prospect of very
large receipts on Monday, the offerings were
large and the market broke 1sc and closed lc
under yesterday. Oats were dull and
closed &c lower. There were very free offerings
of pork, and prices declined 80 035c early but
rallied shade and closed moderately active at
the decline. Lard also declined .05 a 10c and
closed steady. Flour ruled dull and weak The
decline in wheat keeps buyers out of the market,
and there was no demand
Wheat-WaS active at lower prices. Foreign
advices were unfavorable, and the receipts con-
tinued large. When the price for July reached
68c, considerable 'long" wheat came out on stop
orders and this assisted the decline. The mar
ket declined 1ac, fuctuated, and closed lsc
under yesterday. The sales ranged: May, 84a
