Bear News.
CROP CONDITIONS ARE PERFECT
Prospect Favors selIerp-COrn Hold
ing Its own stubbornIy Against
the Continued Heavy
Selling.

OMAHA, May II. 1911.
Liverpool came decidedly weak again to-
day and coupled with bearish crop news
the wheat market started weak and lower.
Weather conditions are the real factor in
price making and dry weather complaints
were more numerous. On the whole the
and aside from the position taken by the
strong bull leaders the conditions favor
sellers.
The corn market is stubborn and holding
It's own against heavy selling anticipating
a heavy run Of country delivering later.
Inere Is every reason why the country
movement should greatly increase as cash
prices are high. planting is nearly over
and the shipping demand continues light.
wheat opened lower on weak cables but
soon nrmed on buying on dry weather
news. The market was rather dull, trade
,ight and cash sales were reported 1g%e
Corn was firm and steady in face or
good selling strength coming from the light
country receipts. Cash corn was Nc lower.
Primary wheat receipts were $4,000 bush
els and shipments were 1921 bushels,
against receipts last year Of 3Sl 900 bushels
and shipments Of $4,000 bushels.
Primary corn receipts were 35o'cCo bush sil
