Late Market Quotations
Long Commission Co, Grain Letter.

4 CHICAGO. May 2O.-Wheat-Ral
lies In wheat were moderate and Of
J short duration. While the shorts in
creased on the recent break, there
continues to be enough scattered
liquidation to prevent permanent adj
yances. The disappointment of 10
cal holders over the failure Of crop
damage reports to attract a large
outside investment interest, started
the liquidation of these lines about
mtd-week, and while there has been
a large number of weak holders fore.
ed out, the position does not yet
seem strong enough to warrant in
vestment buying. The disappointing
phase Of the situation to holders )
that receipts both in Canada and in
this country are large for this time
of season, and the export demand,
while OF good volume, is almost en-
tirely made up of Manitoba wheat.
Corn-There was large enough
short interest in the corn to prevent
Its fully sympathizing with the weak
ness in wheat during the latter part
OF the week. Stocks are not disap-
pearing as rapidly as they should.
Some OF today's buying was induced
1by reports from the country OF fail
ure of planted seed to terminate on
account Of cold weather. The failure
Of seed planted no doubt has some
thing to do with this condition and
farmers are reporting difficulty in OBJ
| tanning suitable seed.
Oats-Liquidation has carried the
current month lower. Large Quanti-
ties Of both Canadian and U. S. oats
are offered for shipment and been
sold for export. A large proportion OF
today's selling was in the way Of re-
moving hedges and going over into
the distant futures. The short inter
est has materially increased in de-
ferred futures the last few days.
