WHEAT.
There was good buying OF wheat early
on the unfavorable harvesting news from
Argentina. where rains were reported in
various sections. Local traders took May.
and with only small offerings a fair ad-
vance was made. the price going up 10
Sc. after opening a shade lower to "a
&c higher at S1ssc to Size. Foreign mar
kets showed no sign of responding TO the
strength in the American market and scv-
eral prominent commissAon-houaes were
early sellers. Later the pit crowd turned
sellers on a report that the leading long
was selling freely in outside markets. The
weakness In these markets lent color to
this theory and increased the selling pres
sure One of the main features Of trad
ing was the heavy selling OF July by a
broker, supposed to be acting for the big
bull interest These offerings were taken
by the local talent. who sold May against
their purchases Under these influences
prices steadily declined. and late in the
day May had reached so%ds03sc. a loss of
11sT1Lc from the high point: y The close
was at 97sIs1c. Clearances of wheat and
flour were equal to $4,000 hu. Primary re-
ceipts were 1Olc.O0D bu.. against 100 bu.

WHEAT VALUES DECLINE
ON LIGHT SPECULATION.
RECEIPTS AT ALL WESTERN
POINTS ARE LARGE.
Favorable Weather and Lack of
Foreign Strength Are De
pressing Factors.

Selling pressure again was applied TO
the local grain market yesterday and both
OF the active wheat values were on the
downturn at the close. The market
showed some early strength after opening
unchanged. but there was not enough
buying support to keep values on the ad-
vance. A bullish Illinois crop report was
one Of the early factors. Other domestic
markets showed little strength and for
eign prices were at a standstill. Receipts
here and at other Western points were
large. but the movement of spring wheat
was slow.
