NEW YORK. June 1s--There was
4 downward drift in domestic vheat
markets early in the week. Most or
the time demand was devoid OF
spirit. and. with offerings fairly large,
prices gradually sagged. Selling was
largely prompted ny weakness In July
contracts In Chicago, and 1T was the
markets inreseion that large holders
nj that centre were unloading July
and replacing contracts with Septen1-
her or December. subsequently, the
anxiety to sell was attributed Largely
to reports of improved crop prospects
In the southwest. owing to beneficial
rains over q wide area.
For n abort time a material decline
was checked by the continued light
urfr1ary receipts and further Todef-

which showed a decrease In winter
wheat condition Of over per cent,
whereas little. IL any reduction was
expected. Indeed. many sellers for
the decline had even expected small
Improvement. Moreover, the spring
wheat LOSE In area was source OF
surprise and isappointr,ent to nearly
III conservative merchants, who had
pupposed that a slight reduction in
North Dakota would be largely coun-
serbalanced by increases in South Da-
kota and Minnesota. Bear traders,
however, found some comfort in the
so-called high condition, s5.s against
Sac year ago. a.
Southwest since the crop reporters
~tafements were sent in has been de-
cidedly unfavorable. being too dry
and hot. and hence it Is believed that
the winter wheat yield will not
amount 3f, much more than 10000
600 bushels, which Is. soandly, wv :

Latr in the week prices fell TO a
stiIl lower plane, as there was scar

were far more numerous. There was
IN short, decided growth and spread
of bearish sentiment. which was
mainly based on reports of better
prospects west Of the Mississippi

ffted by moderate or copious rains
over a wide area, where moisture was

in Canada. Some conservative and
experienced dealers feel decidedly en-
couraged respecting the prospective
production OF spring wheat. They be-
lieve in the law of averages; that
after two comparatively poor seasons
1t Is reasonable to suppose that ma
trre Will compensate for short-com-
tngS by giving us an abundant pro-
duction. Exporters have been unable
to accomplish anything in native
wheat, owing to its great scarcity and
high cost, but they have been able to
contract for moderate quantities of
Manitoba to arrive. because of the
lower rates accepted for ocen freight
room.
Narrow Changes in Corn.
Corn was inactive, with narrow
fluctuations most of the time early
in the week. although there was
gradual tendency to weakness toward
the end. The comparative steadiness
at the outset was attributed largely
to the backwardness Of the crop,
which has made decidedly slow
growth because the temperature has
been too low in many parts Of the
belt, subsequently. however, there
was more hopeful feeling as the
weather became warmer, which led
greater selling pressure. The will
lingness to sell was also partly trace
able to fairly heavy receipts at pri-
mary points. 1t is believed that farm
ers will be willing to make larger de-
