CHICAGO, May 15-Wheat opened with a
decidedly downward dip, due 10 the easier
cables, the large increase in the amount on
ocean passage, the heavy shipments last
week from Indie, the reported embarrass-
ment of the big trust company in Mime
apolis and rumors that there were runs
there on several banks. 1t was also in
ferred the furry in the Northwest was not
yet at an end, and stocks were again con-
siderably demoralized. Prime telegraphed
that on the whole the American winter
wheat crop was in poorer condition than a
week ago, while some cables reported the
drOuth still prevailing In England, and the
weather in France was threatening. There
was quite a reaction, but the visible sup
ply report was great disappointment 10
the friends of wheat, as they were expect
ing nearly 100000 bushels decrease, and
there was free selling when the May de-
crease was known. Closing continental
cables were lower. Corn was firm and
gained &c for July and &c for September.
Oats were fairly active and easier. The
provision market was dull and narrow,
without any striking change in value at
the close. Flour, firm and unchanged.
