CHANGE
 IN WHEAT MARKET Weakness Is Shown At Start
 Rut a Rally Follows CASH DEMAND IS STRONG Corn Prices Are Nervous Nearly All Day But the Close Shows Little
 chanee-oats Close Easy
 and Provisions Firm.
CASH DEMAND IS STRONG

Chicago, June 1.-The wheat market had several sinking spells today owing to the improved condition of the fall sown crop and to the northward spread of harvest operations, but closed fairly steady with prices Ac higher to 1sc lower, compared with yesterdays figures. Corn and oats closed easy. but provisions were firm.
 Renewed selling of the July delivery was the feature of trading in the wheat pit and the price of that option moved over range of 21kc. At times the market was decidedly weak, but buying of the de- ferred futures by prominent interests tended to create a steader feeling. The chief factor in the situation was the near approach of harvest in several of the leading winter wheatfa<ates and the gen erallyyDearish tenor sf crop advices from the southwest. Foreign crop reports were also more favorable, additional rains be- ing reported in Argentina and Germany, while shipments of wheat this week from India and South American countries were considerably larger than had been ex- pected. The improved conditions abroad were largely responsible for decline of %d to Bd at Liverpool, which had a weakening effect here at the start
 A substantial rally occurred toward mid day owing to the strength of north western markets particularly that of Winnipeg, which was up Sc. The upturn in these markets was due largely to a brisk demand for the cash grain. Mime apolis reported that more wheat had been sold there yesterday to country mills than on any previous day
 The advance induced fresh selling of July and the price of that option de- clined from SHE'S to $1.151a At the close the July delivery was 15c below the previous close, but the September and December options showed slight gains
 The corn market was nervous nearly all day in sympathy with the sudden turns in wheat, but at times displayed con siderable firmness owing to light offerings from the country. Weather conditions were more favorable for the new crop and the official forecast was for fair weather generally throughout the corn belt. Prices during the day fuctuated over a range of about 1c. An easy tone prevailed at the close, prices being shade higher to 1s@1Ac lower, compared with yesterdays close.
 Oats were weak on general selling, based on the bright prospects for the new crop. Cash interests were- fairly liberal sellers of the September delivery The market closed weak with prices off Ac to %c.
 Provisions were easy at the start. be- cause of increased receipts of live hogs, but became firm during the last half of the day on buying by local packers. Final quotations showed gains of Dc to 121ac.
 Leading futures ranged as follows:

MARKET
 SHOWS DECLINE Fluctuations Are Irregular and
 Prices Ease eff BULL SUPPORT LACKING Market Rallies After an Early Decline But Continued Good Weather
 Brings About Heavy
 Selling.
BULL SUPPORT LACKING

New York, June 1.-The cotton mar ket was nervous and unsettled today and while the closing tone was steady last prices showed a net loss of 8 to 12 points. The opening was steady at a decline of 4 points on November, but generally un- changed to 2 points higher in response to steady Liverpool cables. Early fiuctua- tions were somewhat irregular, but the market gradually eased off under selling by western interests scattering liquida- tion and local bear pressure, which was encouraged by good weather reports, the absence of bull support and apprehen- sions of further weakness in July
 After showing a net loss of about to points the market rallied practically to the closing figures of yesterday on private reports of rain in the central belt, but the detailed weather reports showed no important precipitation in this section, while they indicated continual tion of beneficial showers in Texas. These advices were followed by a private cable from Liverpool stating that a commit tee of the Master Cotton Spinners had unanimously advised short time in Lan- cashire beginning at once and had called a meeting for next Friday to consider the proposition. Between the good wealth. CT and this report, heavy selling occurred, apparently for both accounts, and at one time during the afternoon the market showed a net loss of 10 to IS points. Only a slight improvement resulted from cov- ering at the close.
 Southern spot markets officially re- ported early were generally unchanged.
 Receipts at the ports today 56S5 bales against, 14,9O4 last week and 99S3 last year. For the week 55,OOO bales against 5s,661 last week and 64644 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans S9 bales against 44S9 last year and at Houston 575 against 1907 last year.
