Wheat Finally suocumbed to the Absence
Of Shipping Demand.
THAT CEREAL WAS NERVOUS ALL DAY
CROP Damage Reports Were Numer-
Gus, but in View of the Fact
That Purchasers Were Few,
the Trade Was Skcpticnl. ..

CHICAGO, May 15.-wheat finally sue
cumbed today to the absence of shipping
demand The weakness was further aug
mented by more favorable crop reports ana
July wheat finally closed cent lower thah
yesterdays final figures. Other markets
were also affected, corn closing 9sc lower
oats &c lower and provisions from DC TO
15c lower.
Wheat was nervous and easily Influenced,
but price changes were unimportant up TO
noon, when the market was about where II
closed last night. There was absolutely
nothing in the trade during the hrst hour
of sufficient importance to have any ef-
feet upon prices, and what little huctuation
there was was due to the limited amount
of buying and selling that transpired. AT
the opening prices were tritie hrmer, but
there was nothing to influence them, and
the fluctuations during the first hour
amounted to only from hc to ssc. Crop
damage reports were plenty, but In
view Of the fact that the coun-
try stil declines to purchase on
the strength of the unfavorable reports
the trade continued skeptical regarding their

exported. the bulls took heart, in view of
the fact that this Is the largest amount
started an advance. Prices rallied from &c
to ne from the previous low point, but soon
reacted July opened about hc lower at
from G39sc to 631ac, sold to 6S%c and back to
63ilC. During the last nOuf tne crown INVOKE
to the fact that the crop reports were more
favorable today. The Northwestern Miller
estimated the European crop at 3OO,WO,OOO
bu. larger than last year. Kansas city re-
ported that cables and advices indicated a
big improvement in the southwest owing
to rains and colder weather. Advices indi-
Gated that the drouth had been broken in
that country, and the damage In Michigan
was reported unimportant. This caused
some unloading of several large lines, and
the market broke to 62asc for July, closing
weak at that price.
Corn was inactive and did little more than
follow wheat. Gables came Ad lower and
receipts We're little heavier, which helped
in creating the weak feeling nantes ted.
July opened unchanged at 297sc, touched
SOC and closed easy at 291ac.
Only n moderate bus ness was doing in oats.
The feeling was easier and prices declined
in sympathy with wheat and were also in
fuenced by more liberal receipts July
opened unchanged at 1890 touched 1924c and
closed weak at 19hc.
Provisions opened about steady and prac-
tlcally unchanged on the better tone Of the
live stock, but soon yielded to the influence
of their weak surroundings In the gra in pits.
From steadiness the feeling soon changed
to slight repression, and later to a greater

HOGS-'rhe market opened with little over
300 hogs in sight. against Asa head Yesterday
and 4,6)S head on Friday of last week. 1t was
light in comparison to the demand. The packers
all wanted hogs and they wanted a good many
and were ready TO pay good strong prices. At
the opening the market strong to &c higher,
and as some of the packers Were buying pretty
freely, other buyers seemed to be afraid u getting
left and raised their bids. The market RAPIDLY
took on more strength, and closed 5Gl0c higher.
The heavy and mixed loads sold largely at 49, 10
613.20 against 50 l0Gp3.15 yesterday. while the
best light sold up to 49, 20 against s3 81 yeste-
day. The market very active at the advance
and the yards were cleared very early hour.
This market Is still way above other markets
but the demand Is such that II seems impOs-
sible to keep 1t down II the buyers succeed
in breaking II one day their requirements are
SO urgent the next that they cannot avoid bidding
1t up again. Yesterday the lowest price paid
for heavy. hogs on this market was salO, and
half of the heavy loads brought S3l2h. At
Kansas City yesterday whole train load Of
heavy hogs purchased for shipment to
Mexico at $500, or l0M12bsc lower than tae omaha
market. While the lowest price paid for hogs
averaging 2C0-lbs. 1920 on this market plenty
OF hogs averaging 2OO-lbs. and even under sold
down to 50. lO43,l2H Kansas City The top

and by quoting top sales only, II is made to
