CHICAGO, May 16-Reports OF general
rainfalls in the southwestern wheat belt
were circulated on the Board of Trade at tue
opening this morning. 1t changed the
speculative situation in the wheat pit, as 1t
oueted all talk of damage by dry weather
and temporarily silenced the talk OF insect
damage IL was thought that the copious
rains in Kansas had certainly drowned the
chinch bugs. The local demand was not
great. Heavy pressure to sell by local
bears, and representatives Of New York,
St. Louis and other houses, gave the mar
ket decidedly weak tone during most OF
the day. Corn, heavy and closing shade
higher Oats, lower and quiet. Provisions,
moderately active, with little change In
prices Flour dull and unchanged.
