JULY WHEAT BREAKS
FROM III "A TO ia "A
Good Weather in Winter
Wheat Belt Encourages
Bears to Sell Futures.

CHICAGO, May s.-There was a good
break in the prices Of wheat In the pits
yesterday. Influenced by larger receipts,
belief that there would be good win
ter wheat crop. despite the lessened
acreage. and that the worst had been
more than discounted by the great ad-
vance in prices. There was considerable
liquidation OF July and September and
the bears sold freely. adding their in
fiuence toward lower prices.
The bear side Of the wheat trade has
been encouraged by the better weather,
the chances of rain in the southwest
and the favorable weather in the North
west for seeding. The public IS taking
flyers in wheat-a public that has been
watching and waiting for inclinations
of a break.
May wheat closed at 127s4, as compared
with 129, the close on Friday. July
closed at 11414, a S-point loss, and Sep
tember at 1884, a 2-point decline.
There is still much uncertainty in the
trade, and the widest kind of fluctua-
tions may be expected any time.
The favorable weather conditions for
completing planting and for growing, to-
gether with the weakness in wheat
have caused lower prices for corn-11ZS
cent a bushel. May closed at Y, July
at 6S15. and September at 6755.
