CHICAGO, May 24-Ihe wheat mar
ket opened excited and irregular today.
Traders were at sea as to the probable
course of the market. On the curb and
1917 for July against 1884 at the close
yesterday and sold up to 1914. Out Of
the bedlam of the pit at the opening of
the regular board came the figures 1871
arc for July and that was the top price
in the early trading
The early news was mostly of a bear
ish character. Liverpool was pence
lower and slow, though London reported
cargoes higher aud some English coun-
try sales was reported at pence ad-
vance. Continental cables we're also
higher.
On the other hand indications of rain
in the west though later advices said
that these indications were only slight
and not in the wheat belt. where drought
conditions remain unbrOken and numer-
Gus crop damage reports were received
later.
| These bullish reports did not effect
! the early trading, though they caused a
rally later. The bear influence prevail
ed at the outset. Brokers saw the dan
| ger of such a runaway market as that of

to go slow. AS a consequence, early
trading brought out many stop loss ord
ers as wheat sInmped off under free sell

about all in the market was unsupported
July soon dropped to 1924, fluctuated
between n % to IS and when the very
bad crop reports came advanced to 10
and eased off to 1924.
The market later turned up to 1917,
then for long time it wabbled lazily be-
tween 1919 and 10. The volume of trad
ing was very much reduced in compar-
ison with the business done during the
past few days and at times the market
was actually dull, though the pit re-
manned full of brokers on the alert for
the unexpected.
The market turned weak during the
close, and July sold from 70 to n. There
was no news of importance, but there
was general resumption of selling and
the market got no support
The market continued to break dur
ing the last fifteen minutes on Change,
July going to 1873, or 23s cents
below the close last night and 218c be-
low the high point early. The country
holdings of wheat got discouraged and a

July corn opened 38c lower at 5456
| and sold off with wheat to 90, rallied to
| 81, and weakened to 53M.
The weakness in corn was partly due
to the selling of about million bushels
by Baldwin and Farnum. The cash
trade in wheat, corn and provisions was
large.
July oats opened &c lower at 81, drop
ped to 80 and rallied to SO56.
July pork opened soc lower on the
heavy receipts of hogs and the break in
corn. First quotations were $12 80, then
the price went to $3.50, but dropped &c

CHICAGO MARKET LETTER.

Furnished by the Topeka Grain and stock
Exchange. Room g. Columbian Building.
Wheat opened rather firm this morning
and remained so for a brief period, but
heavy realization broke the market a
cent.
At the decline there was good buying
orders and the market steadied up and
remained firm until about the noon hour
when it began to slump again on heavy
realizing and the July option was ham
mered to 1890.
The realizing being over the market
closed firm at an advance of 20 from the
bottom prices.
We think the heavy realizing is about
over and the market will steady up and
60 higher than ever in few days.
We see nothing to prevent S wheat
and advise the trade to buy it on all soft
spots and hold for good long profit.
Corn and oats we're slightly easier on
heavy realizing and predictions of rain.
Provisions opened easier but steaded
up and closed firm. A good advance is
due in pork and would own some on all
soft spots

Fort SCOTT, May 24-While in the

mill to be emptied into the Marmaton
river, thereby causing the death of in
Vulnerable fish.
In order to test the credibility of this
statement Mr.. Beck and party Of gen
tlemen from this city drew a seine
through the river about mile below the
mouth of the drainage pipes from the
mill and were rewarded with large
catch of fine, large healthy fish, thus
proving to their satisfaction the incor-
rectness of Commissioner Sadler's state
ment
