WHEAT DECLINES ON
GENERAL SELLING
Improved Crop Outlook Is
Principal Factor
BUYERS ARE BACKWARD
Corn Weakens on Fine Growing
Weather and Increased Offerings
From the Interior-Oats and
Provisions Also Go Lower

Chicago, May 24.--Suspicion seized
hold of many people today that the
principal May and September longs In
wheat had been quietly unloading. 1t
is certain that the market weakened
under general selling for the crop
months, particularly July. Improving
crop prospects, domestic and foreign,
poor milling demand and weak Euro
pean quotations all contributed to the
bearishness of the situation. The close
was easy with prices showing a net
loss of Ao to &c. Corn finished &c
to l 5sc down and oats u @ %c to Mc.
Provisions scored decline OF 20 to
80 cents.
There was a popular theory afloat
at the outset that the wheat market
was entitled to some recovery because
of the sharp declines of the last few
days. On such a belief some fairly
good buying was done, but an abund-
ance of wheat came on the market.
Brokerage firms executed orders in
$4,000 bushel lots of July and Sep
tember. All bullish news was thrown
to the winds. the trade busying itself
following the big selling orders. Raj
lies were feeble and were due mainly
to covering by shorts from time to time.
The best and quickest of the reactions
resulted from the purchase of about a
million bushels in practically one lot
late in the session. Gossip credited
much of the heavy selling to big
southwestern long. Information was
circulated that another cargo of 24o,-
600 bushels of Duluth wheat had been
bought to come here for delivery on
May contracts. This steamer and three
others now en- route hkng an aggre-
gate of $4,000 bushels to add to the
local contract stocks, which included
$4,000 bushels last week and Is now
virtually 100000 bushels.
New No. red winter to arrive and
this for the last half of July was
offered here today from Illinois, Re-
ports came from Oklahoma that only
two weeks more were needed to ma
ture the crop there. The worlds avail
able supply was shown to be more than
100000 bushels greater than a year

this morning did not respond to our de-

falling Off again in the spot business
sales in Liverpool today, being only 5000
bales. Some selling of the summer
months through Wall street houses with
Chicago connections appeared at the
opening, causing quick decline of some
10 points The market Immediately re-
covered on bull support but lapsed into
dullness on the advance.
The weekly weather report had little
effect, as It was rather better than cx-
pected in the Atlantic Dtates and rather
worse tnan expected in the Mississippi
valley, where too much rain was com
planned of. Late this afternoon there
was a fresh burst of liquidation from
the west. which closed the market un-
settled at the lowest prices. The loca
feeling is mixed again but is much less
bullish than last week.

NO INCENTIVE FOR
TRADING IN STOCK
Selling Pressure Taken Away,
But Buyers Are Wary
OFFERINGS ARE LIGHT
several Stock Market Leaders Have
Sailed for Europe, and This Keeps
Market In a state of
Dizziness

New. York, May 24.-The stock market
dropped back into a stagnant state to-
day in contrast with the comparative
animation of the day before. The sailing
today for Europe of individuals who have
been prominent in the speculation was
hit upon as an indication that they had
been cleaning up accounts yesterday
preparatory to this departure. The selling
pressure was no longer In evidence today
and the supply of stocks for sale was
much diminished. Uncovered shorts had
to advance bids to get stocks. The tao
ties Of the room traders to move prices
made up the days market almost alto
gether. The course of the international
exchanges afforded some relief from the
feeling of yesterday. The private dis
count rate in London relaxed The be-
lief was strengthened that this movement
was associated with some of the gov
eminent loan operations recently in prog
ress in the Paris market and possibly,
also, with the closing of the bankers
nese railroad loan.
Details were still lacking of the placing
of American bond issues in France, and
of any active steps in renewal of the
project to secure the admission of United
States Steel to the list Of the Paris
bourse. Both subjects were helps to the
frmer tone of stocks. The approach of
London stock market settlement was
repressive influence there and. by re-
Election, on this market. The money mar
ket showed an arrest of the recent down.
ward tendency of interest rates, but
without any marked change in conditions
Reports that American banks are reduc-
ing their loan accounts with the market
ing of commodities which had been held
back, and also on account of land pur-
chases are sources of satisfaction among
New York banks.
The decline in customs receipts fur
nishes an indication of a decline In the
abnormal value of the country's imports
and the consequent dislocation of the for
eign trade. SIX
The speculative liquidation proceeded in
both wheat and corn and the immediate
weather conditions which were considered
good, had an influence in that move
ment.
Bonds were steady. Total sales par
