COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL
Liquidation Causes a Break in Wheat but
Most CT Loss is Recovered,
OTHER MARKETS SHOW LITTLE STRENGTH
Grains Lose About ~ Quarter of II Cent
on the Days Dealings md
Provisions Nearly II
Dime.

CHICAGO, May 15.-Liquidation ~ Heat
was the feature OF that marEei Today, but
at its height was Only .stgong enough to
cause a &c break. BY closing time all but
hC OF this had been recovered. The minor
markets were relatively weaker han
wheat; corn declining from &c to sc, oats
the same amount and provisions 7l9c to 10c.
In wheat the market got "A little encour-
agement to begin with from Liverpool,
which appeared to have been unmoved by
the knowledge OF yesterdays decline here
and that market closed at unchanged
prices. That appeared to be the only bull
ish influence, but 1t was strong enough
to open wheat at from hc 10 sc advance.
But the strength faded almost Immediately.
The majority of the SPECTATORS took more
account of favorable crop news, such as
the showers in California were taken to
be. than of steadiness in Liverpool, which
they knew would not continue long in the
face of cheaper offerings from here. They
supplied the carly demand and had more
by shading the price every few minutes
until the price of July had tumbled from
7312c, which was paid for a few lots at the
start, to I2iac, at which there were sellers
about II o'clock. The shipments abroad
of wheat and flour from both. coasts this
week were equal to 2,lSS,Sl5 bu.,, against
blu. on the corresponding week last year.
Argentina shipped no wheat to Europe this
week. 1tCelplS at NlnnebpOuS anu DuluIn
amounted to 1916 cars, against 2I5 last week
and 331 n year ago. Chicago receipts were
reported at seven cars. The liquidation, al
though not heavy enough to make an active
market, was still sufficient to keep prices
down until near tho close, when some re-
covcry ensued on the announcement that
10000 bu. of cash wheat had been worked
here. The market on this advanced to
I21sc, which was the closing price.
Corn was weak after the first few min
utes of the session. Country offerings We're
more liberal, and short sei;ers was freer
than any day this week, the generally
favorable weather making the crowd bear
ish. The early strength was caused by the
higher Liverpool market. Exports were
301, coo bu. July opened sc higher at 25hc,
sold at 255sc, and declined 20 24kc, closing
at 255Sc.
quite an active session was passed in
oats. A heavy feeling was apparent and
prices dropped, local longs being chiefly
responsible, Commission houses bought
freely after the first decline. Sellers We're
influenced by the weakness of corn. July
opened n shade higher at 1SIac, declined to
lSc, and recovered to 1910, where it closed.
Provisions were very weak. Heavy re-
ceipts of hogs caused free selling from
the outset, and very little support was
given the market. Some stop loss orders
were received. At the close July pork was
10c lower at $Si5, July lard re lower at
$3.S7@,. and July RIBS about 10c lower at
from $i.55 to Si.51lR.

middle classes, with experience and some
capital, to emlgrate to Queensland and
develop the natural resources of the country.
There is an abundance OF good government
land that may be rented or purchased for a
song. Out of Sos, 497 square miles OF land in
the colony, the government has only
sold, thus far, %, 205 square miles. Over
$50, 900 square miles have been leased, and
there remain nearly 200, 900 square miles
open to settlement. The mineral deposits in
the colony are rich and varied. We havestin,
copper and precious metals In abundance, and
the mines only await development. During
the year 1896 we exported 800 tons of tin,
valued at f64 900. and our other exports may
be given as follows: Wool, "a. 900 tons, valued
at SIS, 600. 600; 80. 900 tons OF tallow, valued

capital can make a better living, In my
opinion, than in any other country in the
