Chicago, ILL.,, May 23.-More than mil
lion bushels of wheat were thrown into
the pit at the first tap of the gong to-
day. Such tactics repeated throughout
the session and following a decided break
Saturday demoralized the market. One
of the largest houses here said to be
heavily short in the May deal, led the
selling. Foreigners assisted in pounding
down prices. May wheat was &c off al

Notwithstanding the furious onslaught
leading longs in wheat did not let &c
their holdings, but watched chances and
lent support from time to time by pur-
chasing September or May at critical
periods. 1t was noticed, however, that
this class of buying was carefully mini
mixed. Much covering of short wheat
was done, and MOI g little additional
short selling.
Pit operations were on scale so large
as almost to monopolize attention. but a

COTTON MARKET
VERY UNSETTLED
An Early Advance Is Followed
BY a Decline
OFFERINGS ARE HEAVY
Liverpool Is a Free Seller and in the
Middle of Day Wall street Houses
Aid the Downward Trend
By General Selling
OFFERINGS ARE HEAVY

New York, May 2S.-The cotton market
was very nervous and unsettled today, a
sharp early advance being followed by a
decline which left the market steady at
net loss of to IL points The opening
was steady at an advance of 3d12 points
on covering and bull spirit inspired by
fairly steady cables particularly as to the
Liverpool spot market, talk of too much
rain in the south and reports of a firmer
market for cotton goods. But the offer
ings were heavy at the initial advanne,
which carried July up to Is. SO, or 81 points
above the low figures of last week and
the market soon weakened.
Southern selling tended to reassure
local sentiment as to wether conditions
and the new crop outlook Liverpool was
considerable seller and during the mid
die of the day there was heavy selling by
Wall street houses as well as scattering
liquidation and bear pressure encouraged
by reports of heavy arrivals of spot cot
ton here from the south. July contracts
broke to 15,12c, or "a points from the high
level of the morning and IL points under
the closing figures of last night, and
~aoSuot WdS even weaker, selling OH 10
l4.S1c, or 10 points net lower. Slight raj
lies issued in the last half hour as a re-
suit of covering by early sellers, but they
were barely maintained and the market
closed within a point or two of the low
est.
Southern spot markets officially report
ed were &C higher to &c over there,
generally UNCHANGED
Arrivals of cotton reported at New
York from the south today were $4,000
bales, but it was said that Mr.. Patten
is shipping $4,000 bales of the local stock
to. Liverpool and the continent as rapidly
as freight room becomes available and
that ocean freight engagements since
Saturday have amounted to 10000 bales
The weather forecast was for continued
unsettled conditions with showers and
lower temperatures in the south, and in
spite of the southern selling orders many
of the private reports reaching the trade
are bullish as to the crop outlook.
Receipts at ports today, LISP bales
against 11.404 last week and 1886 last
year. For the week, 10000, against 74,979
last week and $50 last year. Today's
receipts at New Orleans, 31S7, against 1851
last year.
