CHICAGO GRIN MARKET.

CHICAGO. May 5,-Perfect weather and lib
eral Argentine shipments for the week induced
liquidation and short selling in the wheat pit
at the opening of the day, and the market
continued to sag under its load until the close.
A number of stoo-loss orders were met with
as the market declined The threatened spread
of the Buffalo strike, which, If it materialized,
would prevent the movement of grain by the
lake route, had bearish influence. Bad crop
reports were ignored. July opened unchanged
at 7212Q725sc, declined to 7112c and closed at
7124c.
Favorable seeding weather and fears of
tie-up in the lake weakened Short sell

NEW YORK, May 5.-The Journal of Com
merce says: The effect of the report from
Fresno that the California Raisin Growers
Association will retain its control of the mar
ket for another year not perceptble in the
market for spot Raisins. Had ii come earlier
it might have caused an advance in prices, but
as the season here is virtually over ii was prac-
ticaly without influence. Spot stocks of all
descriptions in first hands reported to be
more closely cleaned up than for many years at
this season. and what remains is in the hands
of holders who would prefer to put the stock
into cold storage rather than to accept a shade
less than current market values Distributors
appear to be well supplied, and in view of the
dull condition of the consuming trade, are not
disposed to add to their stocks, but any in
crease in the demand would probably cause an
immediate advance in snOt prices.
