Chicago, May ITO Bradstrcets agency
wheat was Indebted for a gain of about
/ cent in the price to-day. There was
strength at the opening and at the close
with the interval irregular, presenting
great weakness at one time. Spectators
allowed themselves to be guided 10y re-
hash of some statistics on the available
supply. published by Bradstreets some
time ago at the opening of business, re-
ferring to the state report of Kansas,
which gave a reduction in acreage ana
poor condition of the winter wheat a.
an encouraging document sharp adj
vance took place Immediately, but the
offerings grew very heavy, two or three
large commission houses selling freely,
evidently for Armour. IL was at this time
that great weakness developed. About
noon the statement of decrease Of 4.l0i,-
900 bushels in the worlds available stocks
by Bradstreets changed the course or
the market and from that time until the
close shorts were made very uncomfOrt-
able. July wheat opened from 623sc TO
627s, sold between 6l5sc and 6lhG6l2c,
closing at 63is 663H c-3sGlc higher than
yesterday. In the sample branch Of the
market sales averaged lc lower than yes
terday. but the nominal fclose was rela-
lively firm with the futures
Corn remained in the firm position it
has occupied of late. There was bul
only recesslcnS being occasioned by the
temporary weakness of wheat The casu
demand was good sales at Yesterday
figures 10 re advance on them taking
place. July corn opened at from 1914 to
1890, advanced to 50Ssc, closing at the
toPalss@3Il,zc higher than yesterday;
session. The inclination was to follow
wheat. the late improvement in the price
of that grain causing a slight apprecia-
ton. No Importance was attached to the
business at any time, however. July
oats closed ssc higher than yesterday
Cash oats were easy to steady.
Provisions-A very moderate improve
ment was noticeable in product as the
session neared the close, which was very
likely due to the advance in wheat. At
the opening and for the greater portion
of the day very little business was trans
acted. the ruling tone being weak, the
relation of provisions to the hog market
being the reason for the depression. The
close was unchanged from yesterday for
July pork and July lard and exc lower for
July ribs.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening Highest. Lowest. CLOSING
