 Chicago, H., May 22-Wheat is gradually finding its way back to the low level that so lately was matter of history.

Cash wheat was weak and Rc per bushel lower
 Corn was neither active nor independent. The trade was of local character and very small. The tone and feeling came entirely from the wheat market and the range of prices was too narrow to permit of very profitable dealings even to those who hold privileges. July corn opened at 29ssc sold @29ssc, 1sc under yesterday. Cash corn was Ac per bushel lower closing weak.
 Oats-Trading was at a minimum. The day was passed in quiet manner, nothing developing to disturb the dullness of the session.

Cotton Letter.


 New York, May 22-(Special.) )-This was another very active day in cotton, the hquidations of the summermonths, and es- pecia1ly of August being the feature of the trading. Prices of the near deliveries again fell sharply. The later months were also weaker, but owing to brisk buying to cover by shorts declined far less than May, June, July and August. On the opening call Au- gust sold at cents, later rallied to S03 then declined to 7.S6 and closed at 7.89, with the tone irregular, closing steady. After the close August was offered at 7.8S. Octo- Der during the day declined about points and December about 3 points, as against II points decline in August.
 The belief is even more general now than yesterday that the bull. deal in the summer months has collapsed and that the premium on these months as compared with the later ones will show a continued and per- haps rapid shrinkage.

Suns Cotton Review.

New York, May 22.--The Suns cotton re- view says: Cotton declined 1 to 2 points, recovered the, loss, and advanced 1 to 2 points, reacted and declined to points, closing steady with sales of 191, 200 bales.
 Today's features: There was a note worthy expansion of the speculation, but 1t was at the expense of the price. Liverpool was lower, Manchester and Fall River were dull, good rains fell in the Carolinas, show CTS were predicted for North Carolina, South Carolina, Arkansas, Tennessee, Okla homa and Indian territory, and threaten ing weather for eastern Texas. New York, the south and Europe sold. Stop orders were reached and cleared the way for an all the more rapid decline. The heaviest sell ing was of this crop by local and southern operators. Spot markets here, and at the south were dull and depressed. Liverpool was not only lower, but less active on the spot, and there was less demand here from the shorts. One firm is said to have private ly settled 40,000 bales for short account yes. terday. This, if true, removes just so much short interest, and at the same time shows that the bulls are not averse to selling large blocks at present prices if they get the chance. The next crop showed the most steadiness, in spite of the more favorable weather reported at the south, and there is no doubt that there is a tendency to over sell the next crop deliveries.

 Eggs were in demand today and the mar ket was almost bare at the close. The quo7 tation is cents, but in view of short sup ply an advance may be expected.

 A carload of seedless lemons and Medl- terranean sweet oranges came in this morning. The car had been iced, and the fruit arrived in excellent condition.
