All Wheat Futures-Corn and Oats
Lower-Hog Products Active

CHIcAGo-A larger business was done In
wheat to-day, and interest centered principally
in the July future. Sellers were the most
numerous and lower range of prices was es-
tablished, in which all futures shared. Oper-
ators now being of the opinion that the May
deal is over, are getting more confident and
selling. Parties who would not sell for fear OF
manipulation heretofore are now selling freely,
and it was rumored that two prominent moor
traders had entered on a bear campaign Tor
July delivery, at least they were reported as
being heavy sellers to-day.
Outside influences were all favorable to short
sellers. May opened A@lc lower and declined
Sszc more, closing about SC lower than Satur-
day. June closed 43zc lower. July opened
weak 15@5zc lower, ruled steady for wnile'
