ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Of bear
ish government report on reserves
weakened wheat to-day. May closed at
decline of NC. Corn lost &c, and oats
HCSEc. Pork declined 2l5I5c. and lard
and ribs are n shade lower The DOM
mating factor In the early news con-
nected with the wheat market was the
liberal quantity shipped by Argentine
this week. There was n controversy
over the amount, one authority placing
1t at 2,032.000 bushels and another al
100000. The majority of traders ac-
cepted the statement quoting the larger
quantity. Liverpool reported q light ad-
vance to begin with, but az It did not
correspond with the gain here ycster-
day 1t was ignored. May opened ISm
sc lower at 7lMGThc. down 10 tic. and
with more sellers than buyers at the
decline. Chicago receipts were o. cars
Of which IL graded contract. Minneap-
oils and Duluth received $50 cars,
against 1870 the same day 4 year ago.
Primary western market receipts
amounted to COG. 900 bushels, compared
with $4,000 bushels the corresponding
day last year. Atlantic port exports
OF wheat and flour equaled ESQ 900 bush
els. Estimates on the visible supply
varied considerable. some looking for
100000 bushels increase and others for
that much decrease. The whole market
kept in mind that the government re-
port on farm reserves would be issued
in the afternoon, and It Is assumed the
total would be the largest ever an
nounced. The nearer the market got 10
the Issuance of the agricultural bureaus
estimate the weaker the prices became.
Toward the end quotations ruled quite
hoo Ill Il ,NtK,t.
10Hc when the closing signal soundcd.i
Country buying and moderate receipts
helped corn at the start. When wheat
appeared hopclessly devoid OF rccupcra-
tive ability. however. some timid hold
ers OF corn let enough 20 to force n
sharp decline. Receipts. 326 cars. May
opened n shade lower AT 3SI36h. ad-
vanced TO 3GkG35hc. then sold off to
S5asG 35Ec and closed ut 353,c buyers.
Very little business was transacted In
oats. The market ruled weak and lower
In sympathy with corn. Cash bids were
a trihe out OF line Receipts were small
-lI2 cars. May began q shade lower
at 27&m2Ikc, sold sparinCly Mt 27i5c,
declined to 27Ac and closed ut 27H1
279sc buyers.

spot In provisions ut the opening. Later.
however, inc market Stoadlcd somewhat
on free buying of lard and improve
ment In the price Of hogs at the yards.
