CHICAGO, H., May 29.-Speculative mar
kets were all weak and prices lower To-Day.
July wheat lost 1ac, corn 12c, oats Ac, pork
715c and ribs PIC. The Improvements IN the
weather and estimates of 530,000,o0O bu crop
of winter and spring wheat affected that ar
ticle and corn suffered from similar cause.
The holiday on Monday, with accumulated re-
ceipts and perhaps fine weather III the meah-
time, was an additional element in creating
the weakness Trading in wheat commenced
at the price it left off yesterday afternoon.
It soon began to weaken, however, and IN
about twenty minutes July dropped 9sc per
bushel below the price it started at. Inc
Liverpool quotations were no lower IMAM tney
closed yesterday. which was the reason Ior
the firmness at the immediate opening, not
withstandng the bearish influence which sea-
sonable weather usually has upon the minds
of the spectators that soon began to have Its
accustomed effect About the same time
Thomans June crop report came out, predict
ing a yield of 95, ,0O00 900 bu more than last
year. The market became very weak on
this. July opened at 6S& Q6S7sc, sold at
6SBQ69c, then declined to 6S12@6S7sc. Busi-
ness was apathetic and dull. The honday
which is to be observed Monday caused
general reluctance to enter into fresh trans
actions and a desire to clear up existing
trades. Chicago received II carloadS anu
Minneapolis and Duluth received 405 cars
against 654 on the previous Saturday. The
clearances from both coasts for the week
were equal to 2,s41 900 bu, against 2,755,O GOO
bu the week before and 2O64, 600 bu the cor
responding week of 1896. Argentine ship
ments to Europe were 640,000 bu, against
5000 bu last week. and 408,00O bu the ike
week of last year. This one of the bear
ish factors of the day. Being short day
in the business world. both here and abroad,
there is seldom any business done in wheat
for shipment Saturdays, and none was re-
ported today outside Of few small lots to
domestic millers. The market became weaker
as the season progressed for lack of any
thing TO encourage buyers, and that was
enough to stimulate short selling. The trade
was very small, however, even at the brisk
est, when July was on the decline from
around 6S9sc to 6SAc, to which price it finally
declined. The latest trading was at 6Sssc.
In corn large receipts were again too much
for the market, which ruled weak on a very
limited amount of business. July opened a
shade lower at 1895 s@23a4c, and gradually de-
clined to 23Ac, where it closed. The mar
ket for oats was very slow. July opened a
shade lower at 171h@175sc, declined to 1885,
and closed at 172s@17c1a. Provisions were
slow and weak. At the close July pork was
about 71sc lower at $7.95G7.974. July lard
about unchanged at s3.671s. and July ribs 21ac
lower at $4.35. Estimates-Wheat, q cars;
corn, 1900; oats, 600; hogs, $4,000 head.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

There was nothing this morning to encour-

barely steady, and continental markets were
reported as weak, with tendency to decline.
caused chiefly by advices from America. r
is the Old story over again. America is the
bargain counter of the world Although her
stocks are depleted to the lowest point in
years, her business men-saye the mark-ara
insistent in their efforts to depreciate their
own goods. 1t is absurd to profess to believe
that importing countries will for moment
seek to raise values for our remnant SALE The
purchasers at sales of remnants never hid
up. The news was yoluminous enough. but
there was nothing new of Importance in the
gossip of the day, The best informed had to
give 1t up when trying to explain the mar
kets course for the past week. AS was stated
yesterday In these columns, the sole and only
reason is the remarkable drop in the pre-
miums paid for cash wheat. Cash holders
have overstocked the market through a mis-
taken belief that they would be able to die
tate their own price. Millers and exporters
stopped buying cash wheat because of the
exorbitant premiums asked.
Thoman, the crop expert, sends out the fol-
lowing: Winter wheat, condition, III against
S0.6 per cent last month. and 74.5 last year;
prospective yield, 301 600, 900 bu Spring
wheat condition 94.2;, area increase. 10 4:

Mr Ihoman is at least consistent with his

said of some other experts.
