CHICAGO, May 20.-Copous rains were
reported throughout the wheat, corn and
oat belt, with more promised, and the fears
of short crops on account of drOuth were
dissipated, at least for the present. As a
consequence the market opened weak, and
operators on the bear side proceeded to
take their profits. Buying early absorbed
a large quantity of wheat that had been
thrown overheard at the start on stop loss
orders. After this buying was over the
market again broke badly, and closed at its
lowest point for the day. Corn was weak
throughout the session Oats, moderately
