Quotations of the Chicago wheat Mar
ket show Loss.

Chicago, May 27.-Wheat opened
strong, active and excited this morning
and the starting point was IA cents
higher than the close Saturday. The
first quotation was S1A cents, and in
short order a half-cent was added to
this, making a top price of S1s4 cents.
Then the bears fell on the
market with tooth and claw,
and before they grew tired of the
assault they had driven the price down
to 1875 cents. or 31s cents below the open-
ing. and 35s cents below the high point
of the day. This conquest was not
achieved without many struggleSon the
part of the bulls. There were rallies and
reactions all along the line. 1t was a
game of see-saw, now up, now down,
but after ever teeter the bears end Of
the plank went a little lower, and did
not get so high next time. Just before
the close of the session there was a rally
and July wheat closed at 7S34 cents. This
was net loss of 215 cents from the
opening figures and a decline of cents
from the highest point of the day.
