Chicago April 22.-Mixed cables
were reflected in an irregular wheat
market here today. Liverpool was
firm but Paris weak. The trade moved
largely to July tho there was still
fair business in May. Opening figures
showed a range Of Il lower to II q Is
higher. July was shade TO 4 a IS up,
at e1A to 90, May shade higher to
NON lower. at s2A 10 s2ia. Selling Of
July by leading houses caused drop
to s14s. May held steady within the
opening range.
Selling pressure was afterward put
on May and later put on July. after it
had advanced. May closed weak at
915. and s1a, net loss OF q, July
firm at 9las, net loss OF 4 and q.
Corn.
Corn became heavy, offerings and de-
mand both being light. July started
unchanged to y q IS higher, at os4 @
56A, to o61s, and steadied around ooA.
May opened bQA to 4 q q higher. at

July at 6Sh and 56A, a net loss Of Is

Chicago. April 22.-Wheat-A pros
pect for scattered showers in sections
which have been complaining ABOUT
dry weather brought selling largely py
locals which weakened the market.
There was also considerable liqulda-
ton Of May holdings which caused
greater weakness in the nearby deltv-
cry than in new crop months. me
losses for the day are from q to q.
Outside markets have not declined as
much as our own. Bradstreet's reports
worlds available supply showed de-
crease of over 100000 bushels, as
against oil IIlCIS8SoS VI wa -'"SN'E0>
bushels last year, and the total world
supply somewhat less than a year ago.
Corn.
Good cash sales gave a frmer tone
to corn than would be expected with
wheat declining. There was little
more inquiry for the country for bids
to arrive. which was more noticeable
because of the dearth of such offerings
during the past few weeks. Current re-
ceipts are remarkably small and not
sufficient for local requirements. A
correction was made in the visible
supply figures which shows about 70O,-
900 bushels more on the lakes and
corresponding lessening Of the de-
creased visible supply.
Oats.
With q light trade, oats declined
about "a cent due to selling by cash
houses against purchases TO arrive.
Seeding Is progressing very rapidly
under favorable conditions, but reports
from the southwest indicate consider
able recent damage to the growing
crop.
Provisions.
A lower hog m arket and lack Of sup
port caused decline IN prices Of pro-
duct. Trade was not large either in the
pit or for the cash article. Such in
yestment demand as appeared on the
break was largely in lard and ribs.
