WHEAT HAS SLUMP,
But LOSS is SMALL
Storm of Liquidation AssalIs
the Pit, but Covering
Brings a Rally.

CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-A storm of IL
quotation broke over the grain pits to-
day. Nevertheless after fall of 21Ac
in July and 1Ac in May the markets
closed at but little under the extra
ordinary high record set in yesterday S
final quotations for May, the leading
option. July, however, failed to re-
bound equally with May. Selling of
July wheat, owing to rain in the South
west, was the immediate cause Of to-
days remarkable slump. The rally was
due to covering by shorts. May wheat
closed only s @Ac lower than yester-
day.
The day was one of marked activity
and excitement. An ominous lull per-
vaded the pit at the start. Opening
quotations were steady, May being 6c
higher to Ac lower, at 917sc to 92Ac.
Trading was barely under way, how
ever, when a general selling move
ment began in the July delivery. The
cause Of the sudden activity in this
option was the relief from drouth ex-
perienced by the growing crop in the
Southwest, where copiouS rains were
reported. With the heavy selling in
July small holders in May decided to
secure profits before it was too late.
AS result general liquidation en-
sued.
The leader of the longs bought openly
in an effort to stem the tide, but offer
ings were too liberal, and before the
break had cen checked, May had de-
clined to 9014c, a loss of 1 * from the
high point July was much weaker
than May and sold from $3.50 to 84Ac
at the opening down to S1%c, a sheer
drop of 21ac. With May at 901ac early
short sellers began to buy and the mar
ket gradually recovered. Commis-
sion houses and local traders were lib
eral buyers the latter part of the day
and May regained all of its early loss,
the price again touching 92Ac just be-
fore the close. Final figures were at
91B @92c. July did not respond to the
improved sentiment as readily as the
nearby delivery and closed with a loss
of 7sc, at S3Ac.

charge at a time. In the midst Of the

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 21. = The
newspaper Sviet publishes a four-col-
umn vitriolic article today on Amer
lean interference in the Russo Japan
ese trouble. Its tone is very offensive.
The paper comments on Americas S
sensitiveness to foreign interference in
American affairs.
This is followed by long criticism
of the United States consul at Odessa,
T. D. Heenan, on account of his reports
to his government regarding the mas
sacre and situation at Kishenev, which
the Sviet stigmatizes as untrue.
"The American consul at Odessa, y
says the newspaper, must be made
to feel the responsibility of his inter-
fering in places outside of his jurisdic-
ton in matters of law. 1t is impossible
to allow the Republican party in Amer
lea, without protest, to deal with us

Some of the strongest men in the

main fear being a break down of the

Early in 1902 when congress passed
the law allowing to American importers
of hemp a rebate equal to the export
tax on the product in the Philippines,
1t was predicted that this action ought
