Chicago May 24.-Selling by longs,
together with weaker cables and the
hne crop prospects, caused another
break in wheat to-day. July is 11sc
lower and September declined 15s@2c.
Corn lost 1@1Bc and oats 1Ac. Pro-
visions showed declines of 27hc for
pork, zoe for lard and 12h@15c for
ribs.
The bulk of speculative business in
wheat to-day was confined to Septem-
Der and December, and in view OF the
lower foreign markets and the prospect
CT big crops on both sides OF the ocean,
holders g.t discouraged and sold out
and scalpers sold short, making a weak
and dropping market. July was heard
OF at considerable intervals and was
apparently kept well in hand by Letter
brokers' and the latter also took occa-
sin at times when September and De-
cember appeared to be getting too weak

May and June wheat. Liverpool cables

items Of the days news was a report
that France had supplies enough until
harvest, which will commence In the
southern part Of that country July | .
Reports were of a favorable character
generally regarding the domestic crop
situation and from Oklahoma City to
the effect that harvesting had COM
menceG there and would be in full
swing by the end of the week. The

A large speculative business was
do~e in corn to-day at declining prices.

provement in the weather. The heavi-
ness of the September wheat had its

of corn Receipts were $50 cars July
