CHICAGO, May 22.-wHEAT-1here was
an abundance of bearish influences in wheat
and the opening figures were lower, the
May breaking sharply on stop-loss orders
to 76c, at which point support from. the
principal bull leader carried II back TO
Ing furry there was general steadiness and
a strong undertone. The outside interest
has not been so large as earlier in the
week, but was sufficient to conceal the OPP
erations of any particular house. Clear
ances for the week, 3,293, 900 bu.; today's
loads taken for export; there were no local
sales of any amount; local receipts, q cars,
with none contract; IS for tomor-
CORN-Tbis morning acceptances from
the country were the largest yet, about
100000 bu., but the hedges were we'll taken
and the early decline wholly recovered, al
though the entire range was not great.
There was some speculation as to who was
buying the corn, as a sharper decline was
looked for when the size of the country
offerings became known. May has gone to
a slight m over the July, influenced
by the small arrivals and the moderate de-
was hg%c higher; Argentine shipments
were S62, 600 bu.; today's c~learances, 32s, 900
were sales reported from here of 200, 900 bu.,
which seemed to have more effect than
country acceptances of several times this
amount; New York reports Is loads taken
for export; there were 10 loads worked d.
rect from here to Liverpool; local receipts,
29 cars, with 10 contract; 40 cars estimated
lOI lOllOIIOMs
OATS-There was hurried selling In oats
on the opening, influenced by the change
in the weather, general rains having fallen
where most needed, and the outlook ma
terially improved thereby. This liquidation
caused a fractional decline. Around lowest
figure shorts began to take profits and buy
ing OF this nature developed in such pro-
portions that the market was advanced
191Ac and closed considerably over yester-
days. Country offerings were light and
did not reflect the same change that the
range had in speculative markets. Re
ceipts were 1856 cars, with 8 contract; there
were 5000 bu. sold for shipment east; 1876
ears estimated for tomorrow.
PROVISlONS-There has been a firm pro-
vision market, with buying of ribs by Ar
mour. There has also been a liberal de-
mand for lard. Cudahy interests have APP
parently been taking July lard and selling
prices at the yards steady, but closing Sc
lower than the opening; there were 1900
hogs west, against $500 last week and S.
500 last year.

CATTLE-There was a light run Of cattle
rather Indifferent, the same as they have
been for the last several Fridays. The mar
ket was rather uneven, but as a general
thing was steady with yesterday.
The beef steer market could best be de-
scribed by calling II about steady. 1t
should be mentioned. however, that the
prices paid were very uneven as Is very apt
to be the case when prices have been
huctuating back and forth as rapidly as
they have this week. In some places sales
men thought they got a little better prices
instances they had a hard time to do as
we'll. AS compared with last Friday the
market was right around a dime lower on
the average Trading was not very brisk
at any time today, but owing to the light
run practically everything was dispose of
before the middle of the forenoon.
The COW market was also about steady.
The feature of the trade was the poor de-
mand for good stun and the good demand
for cheap stock. All the packers seemed
to be anxious for Gamers and cutters, but
$3.50 up. Buyers claim the reason is that
cow beef has been costing them too much
on the hoof as compared with steer beef.
AS compared with the close of last week
good COWS are safely 25c lower and in some
places the decline looks much worse than
that. Gamers and cutters, however, are
fully steady. Bulls, veal calves and stays
ali sold in Just about yesterdays notches.
There were very few stockers and feeders
on hand and as Il, generally the case at the
close of the week the demand was very
limited. Unless very desirable the few that
arrived had to sell a little easier. Repre-
sentative Salea.

NEW YORK, May 22.-Today's early

yesterday, but the announcement that a
bankers syndicate had been formed to

that stock to a level of 2 points over last

NEW YORK, May 22.-COFFEE-The
market for futures opened quiet at a de-
cline of 8 points and ruled easy. owing to
larger offerings by importers and heavier
receipts. Speculation was moderately act
i've and there was a little demand for the
near positions, which caused them to rule
actively. At the close the market was
steady, net unchanged TO 10 points. Total
sales were 1880 bags. including June at
