The general sentiment in the market yes
terday was decidedly bearish. Cables were
lower, the visible supply showed an In
crease OF 444 600 bushels, and the weather
was more favorable to the growing crop.
And the government crop report was ex-
pected to favor the bears. Prices, there
for, ruled lower both In the cash and future
market. The receipts were not heavy mere,
but hesltatng speculative market and
disposition to realize on the part of certain
longs caused general weakness The cash
market here was not only slow, but tully
1c lower than Saturday. No. 2 hard sold
5150IGc over test No. 3 hard 5l5M6c over
and No. hard 6h@7lbc over. The specula-
tive market also made a noticeable loss
here May declining %c and July &c at
which decline there was more or less trad
ing and the close was &c higher than the
low point of the day. In Chicago, as here,
the feeling was bearish the trade gener-
ally holding back for the Government crop
report, and at one time May was OH sc,
but the close was Just the same as on sat

There was more in yesterday than for
| several days and cables were lower. But
with a decrease in the visible supply last
| week of $4,000 bushels, the speculative
market held up fairly well both mere ana
| in Chicago. The cash market, however,
| under the influence Of better offerings was
a trihe weaker. There was fair move
ment however, at the prices. But as Of
late trade was largely OF local character,
! exporters still hold back and do nothing,
