CHICAGO, May 2.-Weakness was pre-
dominant feature in the trading pits on
Change to-day. The result of the trading
was a loss in the value of the July option.
The leading feature in all articles in COM
parison with yesterdays close, OF 1%c in
wheat, DC in corn, &c in oats. 1713c in
pork, 10c in lard and 10c in ribs. All of
the early news was bearish, and wheat de-
veloped so much weakness during the first
half hour of the session that it could not
recover during the rest of the session.
Crop reports were uniformly favorable
receipts continued enormous. There was
some uneasiness over the financial outlook
in the East. and the exports for the last
week and the last month compared very
unfavoraoly with those OF the correspond
ing period a year ago. Under these in
fiuences July opened 81 05% against 81 O614
at the close yesterday, and sold off without
mention about reaction to 81 044. Corn
was as weak as wheat, the result of weaker
cables, the weakness in wheat, long selling,
and promise of continued heavy receipts.
Oats opened weak in sympathy with wheat
and corn. Provisions were heavy through
out the session. Cash quotations were as
follows: Flour, firm and unchanged.
