CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Choking Off Of Future Delivery Reduce.

Chicago, May 22.--Automatie choking Of,
OF future delivery trade in wheat frightened
TO such an extent today that business was
reduced for the most part TO scanty deal.

ish crop advices had also depressing ef.
rect on values. The market closed unsettled
lc to &c net lower, with July at S.,32 and
september at SOS. Corn gained nc to
Is @lhc, and oats lost \ q NC TO Nc. Pro-
visions finished irregular. ranging from lOc
off to 59ic advance
Predictions current that complete stop
OF all option business In wheat soon might
DC witnessed as a result OF existing arbl-
trary rules were not unanimously agreed to.
Unlimited short selling is still permissible
and enough OF II has been developing to
cause material constant setback In prices
or Iato. According to some authorities the
extreme tension which has resulted in the
present otherwise stringent regulations re-
gardlng wheat should relax after harvesting
is well under way. On the other hand diff
ferent opinions were expressed that in a
broad sense the only buying of new wheat
this year would be for actual users and
would be therefore on a virtual hand to
mouth basis.
tAs far as news had any influence on the
wheat market the principal factor today
was the confidence which crop advices gave
that the governments May figures on the
domestic yield would be exceeded to a sub
stantial degree. Reports of increased ship
ments from Australia to the United States
also were taken into account.
Corn prices bulged owing to scarcity of
cash offerings and because OF continued cold
weather and lack of sunshine. Bearish es-
Inmates OF large increases OF planted acre
age in seven surplus producing states
formed only transient handicap on the
bulls.
Although at first the oats market SYM
pathized with the strength of corn, slow
ness of shipping demand from the east
acted later as weight on quotations. Sea-
board exporters were said to be out of the
market.
Holders OF provisions displayed evident
willingness 10 realize. Higher prices on
hogs were thus more than offset.
