Chicago, Ill, May 23.-Ihere was no fault
to be found with to-days wheat market on
the ground Of activity, however, much the net
result may have dlspleased portion of the
trade. Although the range was not wide,
still within the bounds of 56]zG56 sc and 56l6c
for July, there were frequent changes. ! he
feeling was swayed more by the variations
in the Tenor of d erman cables than by domes-
tic news, although the selling out OF some
long wheat for the account OF Plant Co. a
small local firm, whose failure was an
weakness and the reported buy
ing by Armour resulted in a spasm
of strength. The first report from Germany
was bull item; near trm soon produced
denial, but the preponderance was on the
bear side. July wheat opened at 561(c and
closed at 56A6562sc, the net change for the
the entire session. AT no time was there
the least symptom Of following the weak
or declining phase of the wheat market
July sold 'hetween 39l40}s9sc and 3s5sc
closing at the outside gain OF Nc. Oats-It is
universally claimed that the oats crop was
injured by the late frost. This continues to
be one Of the strongest features OF the trade
in that grain. To days market kept up we'll
Cash oats were in good demand and higher
July closed NC higher than yesterday
PTovisions-Shortly before the close
there was squirt to product,
on idding by local scalpers. There was
nothing new IN the situation to warrant
either an advance or decline and the general
trade was very slack The hog market was
weak and lower The weak wheat market
furnished no speculative enthusiasm TO pro
visions. At the close. July pork was l0c
higher, July lard So higher and July ribs l03
higher.
