WHEAT BREAKS AGAIN

Corn, Oats and Provisions Al
so on the Lose.

Chicago, May A.-Selling by longs, to-
gether with weaker cables and the fine
crop prospect, caused another break in
wheat today. July is 11zc lower and Sep
TENDER declined 1890. Corn lost 1G11sc,
and oats nc. Provisions showed declines
of 2715c for pork, zoe for lard and 12kGI5c
for ribs. The bulk of speculative bust
ness in wheat was confined to September
and December. The exceptionally fine
weather, the brilliant promise for the
growing crop, both at home and abroad,
together with lower cables caused the
decline today. Northwestern receipts were
liberal, s. Scars, against 833 last year Chi
cago received 467 car loads, against u the
previous year. The Russian wheat ship
ments for the week were 1872, 900 bushels,
compared with 8, 800. 600 bushels the week
previous, and 3,424,000 bushels last year.
Liverpool cables were 2 TO ~ pence lower.
Reports from a dozen or more counties
in the northern Texas wheat belt state
that fully half of the wheat crop was
destroyed by te tornadoh last Friday. On
ly seven days of the May wheat deal are
left now. Letter, 1t is reported, continues
to take all the car lots, paying about the
May price for the contract grades, even
taking the No. 8 that might be turned in
to contract by the mixers.
