WHEAT GOES sc LOWER
FAVORABLE REPORTS on FOREIGN
AND DOMESTIC CROPS BEARIsH.
The Corn Market Was Strong, show
Oats aIarket Also Advanced 1-Sc.

CHICAGO. May 12.-Reports of favor
able progress by both domestic and for
eign crops were patent factors in weak
ening wheat values to-day. AT the close
the July delivery was down sc. Corn is
up gaze. oats show a gain of 1sc. and
provisions closed practically at last nights
final figures.
A firm undertone. due to heavy rains and
lower temperatures Northwest, prevailed
in wheat at the opening Initial sales on
July We're unchanged to a shade higher
at s52sc to .S51kc to S51adSj5sc A report that
fire at Fort Williams had destroyed large
elevator full OF wheat brought out enough
buying orders from pit traders TO advance
the price to S5AQS57sc.
Receipts were extremely small. and this
fact also exerted bullish influence. But
trading in general was light. The market
lacked any outside support. and with a
continuous Offering the prices grad
ually weakened. a number of bearish re-
ports were received during the day, in
creasins the weakness.
Adviccs from Russia stated that the sur
plus OF wheat for export was still large.
and that the weather was favorable for
the growing crop The Minnesota state
bulletin had an optimistic report of seed
ing operations during the past week. The
conditions of wheat fields in the South
west was reported to have shown consd-
cradle Improvement.
An influential selling motive was the lack
OF outside demand, the suppostion being
that II there is no foreign demand between
now and harvest time stocks of wheat in
/ Chicago will show a big increase. The
market closed weak. with July at S4$46t
si5sc, after the price had declined TO
SizMS43sc.
Clearances of wheat and flour were equal
TO 69,5OO bu. Primary receipts were 134. 800
bu, compared with 3l5,90o bu a year ago.
Minneapolis. Duluth and Chicago reported
receipts OF seventy cars. against 110 last
week ard IA year ago.
Corn was moderately strong on light re-
ceipts and on covering by shorts. Offer
ings were small throughout the entire ses-
sion. Notwithstanding the weakness in
wheat. Jul opened unchanged to a shade
higher at 4S4c To 1850. sold up to 49Ss
/ ef4yl2c, and closed at 4T5s61i9c. Local re-
ceipts were seventy-four cars, with two
of contract grade
/ In sympathy with corn. the oats market
ruled firm the entire day. Small receipts
Sood cash demand and lack of any ma
| terlal selling pressure were the main con-
] tributions to the firm tone. The best buy
! changed to 1sc higher at 3S7sc to 39c, July
! sold between 3Ss.c and 39lsQ3Sl4c. closing a,
! SJc. Local receipts were sixty-two cars.
Provisions we're firm early on a strong
/ hoS market, shorts covering quite freely
| Later there was some pressure to sell, and
! final quotations.
July pork was down 21ac at s1125 Lard

CANTALOUPES WILL BE
ON THE MARKET SOON
First Car VIII Arrive From Florida i'm
About Ten Days-Local Crop of
Tip-Tops VIII he Small.

In less than two weeks the cantaloupe-
the most popular OF fruits. commission
men say-wili be on the market. One of
the largest houses on Commission row will
receive a car of cantaloupes from Florida
in ten days. Other consgnments likely Will
arriye about the same time.
These melons will be put out to the
retail trade at 81 per crate. about fifty mel
ems This price will enable the retailers
10 put them out at ~ 10 10 cents apiece
The first cantaloupes received here from
Florida VIII be small. as they will be of
the first taken from the vines. AS the
season progresses the melons will get
larger.
The Florida cantal0upe crop this year is
said TO be large and OF the finest quality.
The weather in the South this spring has
been more favorable 10 the raising of a
frst-ciaSs crop OF cantaloupes than il was
last year and commission men are look
irg forward 10 a profitable spring in the
handling Of Southern cantaloupes
IL Will be August before there will be
many homegrown cantaloupes on the mar
ket. Until that time the trade will be
supplied from the crop in Florida and other
Southern States.
The Usage. or tip-top. cantaloupe the
large mellon with the yellow core-which is
raised somewhat extensively in this To-
eailty. viii be scarce this year. IL Is said
on account OF the late spring and the
scarcity OF seeds. This fact probably will
cause homegrown cantaloupes to bring a
slightly higher price than they sold fof
last year
