Market Quotations I'm Full.

/
| BALTIMORE, May n-Following are
1 today's quotations in the local wholesale
provision and grain market:
Wheat-Stock in elevators, 6G0.933 bus.
The market for Southern was quiet and
prices were nominally easier in sympathy
with Western. Receipts were light and
the demand was not urgent The few
| hundred bushels offered were sold on pri-
vate terms and did not furnish any guide
to the market. Quote: No. 2 red, nomi
nally easier at 7Sizc.
Western wheat opened easier; May. 7324
| G7sc. Foreign markets were all easier,
and speculative centres were without de-
| cided feature. Extreme dizziness was in
| control of the situation. there being only
an indifferent enquiry. while there was
at no time any inclination to press wheat
for sale. Cash and May ruled about 7794c.
and July about 74G744c. with the feeling
inclined 20 be bearish regarding the far
options. Private cables very quiet.
Market closed weak. Spot May. Tssc
bid; June. TIC bid; July, 7ic bid.
Sales, 10000 bags July at 74c. Settling

51izc. Cob steady at s2.6Oq2.65 per bbl

Western corn was dun and lower. No
corn of consequence came out on the de-
cline, though May reached 471iQ471sc, with
July 471ka47%c, but the situation was
weak and the market lacked support. Ex-
port demand was small, nd did not take
aLy corn at the decline. Private cables
dull. bids far below the market. Western
adVices weak.
