WHEAT DROPPED 11-4C
BETTER CROP NEWS AND SMALL
DECREASE IN VISIBLE SUPPLY.
Moderate Trade I'm Chicago Grain
Until After the D~eciine-Pro-
visions Also Fell on.

CHICAGO, May 1s.-Crop movement, Rus
sian shipments and the small decrease in
the visible supply caused a sharp decline in
wheat to-day. July closed easy at 6l1sc or
1Ac below Saturdays close.
Corn and oats were dull, but steady and
provisions rather steady in the end.
In May wheat there was only a moderate
trade early, but later. after the decline.
there was more doing, the range for the
day being 11zc. The news at hand outside
of advices Of late seeding in the Northwest,
was bearish and had a very depressing eff
feet on the market. The start showed "a
Ac loss, and after selling up &c gradually
declined 11zc. rallied Ac. changed some and
closed as stated. Among the early infiu-
ences presented. which affected values,
were the Indifferent cables. Liverpool COM
ing steady and unchanged and the liberal
Northwestern receipts. Early advices re-
garding the worlds shipments reported the
same large, and this was quite. "a factor,
private advices making the Bfack sea ship
ments 5,064.0 900 bu and the total $4,000 bu.
New York wired that 81, 100, COO gold had been
engaged for shipment tomorrow. The
small decrease in the visible added consid-
cradle to the weakness. The decrease was
larger at Dulutn Jnan expected, but not as
large as looked for on the lakes. There
was an increase on ocean passage. Elk
ports, too, were small and disappointing.
Weather indications were more favorable.
There was a fair speculative trade in
corn, the market covering but Hc range.
Little change occurred in values. the final
figures showing but a trihe decline. The
market acted a little as II oversold, the lib
eral receipts and decline in wheat not hav-
ing any particular influence on prices.
In May oats there was enough selling
pressure to force prices down .AQ%c. and
the close was at the bottom with a loss of
bqAc. AT the decline there was enough
buying TO prevent a further break, and the
offerings were readily absorbed.
A higher market for hogs started some
buying on provisions and for a time the
products assumed a firm appearance. When
wheat began to show decided weakness,
however, the early buyers of provisions be-
came sellers. and buyers at the same time
were discovered to be scarce. In the end

at the hotel say that Murphy took a room
there last week. Saturday night he was
found ar the foot OF the stairs. unable 70
walk. He complained OF pains in his sxom-
ach. Simple remedies were given him and
that night Yellowstone masons sat up with
him. Sunday he was no better. and a physi-
clan from the City Dispensary WAS sum-
moned. The physician believed, from the
symptoms. that Murphy was suffering from
collie and prescribed for him, but VAS not
called In again. His friends remained with
him until after supper Sunday night. when
he was left alone. Nothing more was heard
Of Murphy until he was found dead. Cor
oner Castor was notified and had a talk with
the dispensary physician, who does not be-
lieve that Murphy was Ill enough to die.
The circumstances surrounding his death are
regarded as mysterious enough to call for an
Investigation, and Coroner Castor will hold q
post-mortem examination this morning.

Foreign Crop Statistics.

WASHINGTON, May 1s.-The foreign
statistics gathered by the Agricultural De-
partment show the crop conditions through
out the year. The m follows:
Great Britain-The crop outlook every
where is good and promises a harvest about
two weeks earlier than usual. This would
diminish the imports for the remainder Of
the current cereal year by about 100000
bushels.
France-with normal weather until harvest
the wheat crop will more than suffice for
home requirements. A surplus for export Is
confidently predicted by French agricultural
journals and statisticians, sumo expecting
that it will amount to 100000 bushels.
This quantity would AFFECT prices, especially
if the French government should pay q
bounty on exports. r.
Austria-HungaryIThe weather has been
favorable and the crops promise well.
Roumania-Cold weather In April retarded
the crops, but the outlook is generally
promising.
Russia-Excellent PROSPECTS of a crop above
the average in quantity and quality are
generally reported. The unfavorable March
weather in the south is found to have done
no serious damage. Spring sowings have
been completed under good conditions.
