CHICAGo-A drop Of one cent a
bushel in May price at New YORK,
poor export demand and heavy May
deliveries weakened wheat here to-
dnv. and July closed with a loss Of hG
sc. Continued liquidation of small
holdings depressed corn, July closing
Mt n decline of sc. Oats closed shade
lower. Provisions ruled strong ana
closed with material gains all around.
The wheat market opened steady, but
as there was no news OF particular SIG
nificance to encourage buying, TN
price soon began to sag for lack of sup
port. Free deliveries of May contracts
and n continuation of the heavtness IN
corn impaired u little additional weak
ness, Trade was curtailed however,
owing to the near approach Of the gov
eminent crop report and there was
little effort made to take advantage OF
the situation until near the close, when
n sharp break in the price OF May
wheat at New York demoraliZed hold
ers OF smnii scalpinS purchases, which
ware being carried here and those
were Immediately dumped. closing the
market weak within a fraction of the
bottom OF the days figures Poor eN-
port demand added to the depression.

Corn opened firm, but II began 10
give way almost Immediately and de-
cIlned &c from the top price made at
the opening before making rally. LII
ouIdntion was heavy during part OF the
session, but active buying by several
bull houses, owing to the light receipts
without prospect Of increase In the near

up-turn. This support was only tenn
pornry. however, and when II was
