MARKET AFFECTED BY FOREIGN PRICES
Wheat Prices Show Much Uneasiness on Report of
 London Failure

Chicago, June 21.-WLeat prices showed much nervousness today and averaged lower, largely as a result of word of an important failure .n London. The close here was unsettled at 1402sc down with July at s1OS@1. O31sc. and September at $1.051a. Corn lost 1sa4c to 5s@a4c, and oats 1s@14c to AGp3sc. Provisions scored a net advance of 10c@S21ac, the latter in pork.
 Lowest prices of the day in wheat came shortly after the opening of busi- ness when the bulls were most dscon- cerned by fresh drop in Liverpool quota tons regardless of an upturn in Ameri- can markets yesterday. Some traders ap- peared at the time to be disposed to at- tach failure. It was pointed out in this connection that wheat prices in Liverpool had fallen 30 cents a bushel as com pared with the seasons highest level. Better harvest weather in Kansas and Oklahoma tended further to handicap the bulls and so too did assertions by leading expert that the combined promise of the domestic spring and winter crops was materially greater now than on June 1.
 Forecasts of rain over nearly the en- tire wheat belt gave sufficient reason for a number of attempts to rally the mar ket. Another bullish factor the lift ing of hedges here as a result of large Canadian exports.
 On all the upturns, however, liberal selling developed and caused advances to disappear
 Cold weather and lack of sunshine forced some advances in corn, but the weakness of wheat proved ultimately more than an offset. Besides, reports, were current that country acceptances of bids from here had increased. Oats eased off with other grain. Higher prices on hogs carried provisions upgrade. Tn addi- tion, export demand was a noticeable ele- ment of strength.
 Euture nuotations Mera as follous.

STOCKS DEPRESSED BY WAR SITUATION Wall Street Alive With Dis quieting Rum0rs and Liz
 uidatiOn Is Renewed

New York, June 2L-After a days re- spite, the Mexican situation again loomed ominously over the financial markets, with concurrent depression in quoted valuest Over night developments bear ing upon affairs across the border were regarded as extremely favorable, so much so that Mexicans as group were among the strongest issues at the open ing.
 At midday however. and for the bal ance of the session, Wall street was alive with rumors of the most disquietlng char acter and Mondays liquidation was re- newed, though on a more moderate scale. Forenoon advances of l to ? points in representative shares and twice as much in numerous specialties, with to 13 points in motors, were abruptly surren- dered in whole or large part lowest quo- tations being registered in the final hour, with fractional recoveries towards the close.
 The metal issues also manifested acute weakness, especially zinc shares, in which extreme recessions ranged from 3 to s points. Coppers suffered less severely, although Greene Cananea, whose mines were again forced to suspend operations yielded 2% points. Mexican petroleum reacted 3ss from it's early rise of 2as, with an extreme reversal of 21s for American Smelling. Texas company and Califor- nia petroleum were affected at more mod crate recessions.
 Rails averaged losses of a point, ex- cept in some of the minor western and southwestern issues, for which a re- newal of the recent inquiry was observed Lake Erie and Western common and pre- ferred were higher by 2 to- 4 points at one time, with market strength in Denver and Rio Grande preferred, Toledo, St. Louis and Southwestern preferred, these how ever, yielding substantially later.
 Rock Island issues were the outstand- ing features of the session. the com mon stock being in steady demand at an advance of 3 points, while the deben- ture 5s rose 3Ss. to SSA
 '. Shipping shares were again in favor on the prospects of an early reorganiza- tion,( but suffered from profit taking. Total sales amounted to 593,O00 shares.
 Aside from Rock Island and Marine issues, the bond market was irregular to heavy. Total sales. par value, aggre- gated &,3S0,0O0
 United States bonds were unchanged on call, but on actual sales the coupon As declined one per cent.

Delicate Hint
From Life.

From Llle.
 Mrs. Morgan had a colored maid named Sarah. One Sunday afternoon the mis- tress saw Sarah's lover leaving the house clad in a suit of white flannel. A little later when the maid appeared, Mrs. Nor gan said:
 Sarah, that beau of yours should never wear white. He is so very black that white clothes make him appeal all the blacker. Why don't you give him hint?"
 Why, Mis- Morgan said Sarah with animation, T done give him CT lot ob hints, but he jes' natterly ain't got no sense an he didn't take 'em.
 Probably you didn't make the hints strong enough,' said the mistress
 "Well, nom, dat's jes' what I think myself, agreed Sarah reflectively; "I don't believe I did. I jest looks at him right hard, an I says, 'Niggah. yo' sho' do look like black snake crawlih out ob cream. you dor Thets jest all I says to him, Mis- Morgan"
