BEARISH GRAIN NEWS.
Expectations of Frosts Not Realized, and
Copious Rains Help to Depress the Price
of Wheat-Corn Also Weak on Favorable


Crop Conditions.
CHICAGO-The fact that the predicted
severe frosts in Iowa and Wisconsin did not
appear last night, and the continued growing
rains in the wheat belt, developed crop of
bear sentiment on the Board of Trade to-day
which carried the price of the July option
down 1sSc at the close, in comparison with
the final figures yesterday. In addition to
the weather conditions the receipts in the
Northwest were heavy, and there were
rumors that the amount of wheat reported
taken yesterday at the board for export was
exaggerated.
July opened at 81 01@1 0lss, against 81 013s
at the close yesterday, with many brokers in
possession of selling orders. Before the ses-
sion was two hours old they were willing to
sell at 1c below the opening figure. 1t looked
very much as if the heavy operators, both
here and in New York, were trying to scalp
small profits out of the market and mean
while drive the general trade off the short
side of it. The trade, however, was un-
equivocably bearish, and it was at work to
drive the market below the "put'' price.
July broke in the early dealings to 81 COZ.
New York sent in o steady stream of selling
orders, and the downward movement was
reached. From that point it recovered to
81 0OH, hung around 81 for long time, and
then sold again at 9934c. This break induced
so much short selling that the crowd was
very easily frightened into buying its wheat
back again, and July improved to 81 005s
The selling at this price was enough to break
it back to 81 again, where it closed:
Corn was very weak, principally on ac-
count of the favorable crop conditions. To
this was added heavy receipts of the con-
tract grade to-day, estimates of an equally
heavy income tomorrow, and advices from
country buyers oflarge offerings by farmers.
July started at 555sc, touched 5534c, and then
sold off to 5377sc at the close.
Oats sympathized closely with corn, though
the close was Ac above the bottom price.
Provisions were not as weak relatively as
grains. There was little show of strength
early, but bear hammering, along with the
break in grains and the'liberal receipts of
hogs, ultimately weakened everything on
the list. July pork shows loss compared
with yesterday of l5c, lard Sc, and ribs 7%c.
The leading futures ranged as follows. as

THE MARKET AT ST. LOUIS.
A Much Better Feeling Is Perceptible On
the Part of Buyers.
[sPEc1AL TELEGRAM no THE DISPATCH.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.1
ST. LOUIS, May 22.-Rogers, Brown and
Meacham say: The market seems to be in a
better condition at present than it has been
since the low priced iron has been ruling
which extends over a period of several
months. A number of orders for round lots
have been placed recently for deliveries
through the summer and fall months There
is evidently a much better feeling on the
part of buyers and considerable activity is
looked for in the immediate future. Fur
naces are more firm in their views, and un-
less prices and deliveries are exactly in ac-
cordance with their schedule orders are
promptly refused.
Much annoyance is caused by the scarcity
of coke, as it can only be obtained in COM
paratively small quantities. We quote for

The Market There Has Improved Consider

ably and Better Prices Now Prevail
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.]
CHICAGO, May 22.-Rogers, Brown & Mer-
win say: The general situation is some
what improved. The outlook seems to point
toward better prices and more activity
among melters of iron. Lake Superior char
coal, which for weeks has been selling at the
lowest prices ever known, has advanced,
and the leading companies are now all hold
ing at SIS Chicago. 1t is reported that one
or two brands are being offered for less.
These seem to be outside irons, and those
less favorably known, local. Coke irons are
becoming quite scarce for both immediate
and early delivery on account of inability of
the furnaces of this region to obtain coke. If
the Connellsville strike continues much
longer the situation will become serious
one here.
Southern coke irons are moving in round
lots. A number of large sales have been re-
ported. Inquiries are still running heavy in
this direction, the majority of these being
for extended deliveries, showing that buyers
believe that the bottom has been reached.
The feeling exists that a general improve
ment in iron circles depends largely upon
the outcome of the crop situation, and this
is now being watched in all circles with keen
interest.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, May 22-The iron mar
ket undergoes practically no change. The
long-looked-for rise has never come, and fur
mace owners have settled down into a salts

utmost limits and keeping down
stocks as far as possible. The

as much as SO cents, depending on the
situation at the particular furnace plant
One large producer, who has kept well sold
ahead and has small stocks recently quoted
stiff at $l3, while another, whose stocks were
piling up, quoted Sl2 so, and was rather eager
to get that. The market, o. b. at the

SCoTTDALE, Pa, May 2S.-Thc rush of
old men for work at the various plants
continues. In most instances, however,
they are turned off with an excuse and
given to understand that their services
are not needed. Hundreds Of old miners
are drifting from one Of the works to an
other in the vain hope of finding work.
but everywhere they go they are met
with the same statement, NO work
now" This simply means that the black
list has gone through the regions and the
man refused at one work is certain to be
refused at another. As result they are
either preparing to leave the district for
another field or are drifting aimlcssly
about. More homes have been broken
up by the strike that has just closed
than by all the strikes that have pre-.
ceded this most gigantic failure.
Reports are coming in hourly of home.
