GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO, May 21.-Wheat was de-
posed today as the king of the grain
trade. Instead, the Dlebeian cereal oats
took first place in the amount of grain
business transacted on the board of
trade. So decided was the change that
the dealings in oats were transferred
to the big pit, from which until today

cluded themselves in the little space off
to one side where oats were heretofore
an unobtrusive object of minor in
terest.
Pending expected action at Washing
ton for control of prices and exports.
wheat trade was virtually confined to
liquidation oe old contracts, and there
was a downward tendency to values.
Swings in the market were wide, but
owing to the small total of business
which they represented it was difficult
to attach to them much significance.
After opening to 10 lower. with July
prices rallied to nearly Saturdays fin
ish. but then underwent fresh sag to
about 3 or 4 beneath that level.
Lowness of prices, lack of restric-
tions on trading. and the magnitude of
recent export dealings all helped to
widen out the business in oats. There
was notable absence of offerings. and
the market developed decided frmness.
Advances. however. hardly exceeded
cent. with July inclined to steady
at IS.
Cold. unfavorable weather gave
strength to corn. Trading was on a
fairly liberal scale. After opening 4
to u off. the market scored moderate
general gains.
Provisions weakened in sympathy
with the hog market. Dealings were
almost altogether in lard and ribs
Welcome rains over the entire wheat
belt gave the bears an advantage, and
SO did reports that shipments of more
than 1.000,O 900 bushels of wheat to the
United States from Australia had been
made. big decrease in the United
States visible supply total failed to
bring the market any support. The
close was weak, net lower, with July
at 2.33 and September at 2.10.
Reports that planted acreage this sea-
son would be the largest on record led
subsequently to bearish reaction in
corn. The close was heavy at u to IN

ONE INJURED IN
 AUTO ACCIDENT

Adrian H. Matthew examiner for the Arizona Fire Insurance company, is in Sisters hospital and three other per sons were more or less bruised and shaken up when the automobile in which they were riding went into a ditch just south of Tempe about 10:45 o'clock last night The extent of Mat thew's injuries had not been deter mined at an early hour this morning, but it is not believed that they are of a serious nature.
 According to information secured by members of the sheriffs office, who responded to the call, Matthew, who was driving, was attempting to pass another machine when the acci- dent occurred. He had just crossed the canal bridge and was turning onto the Creamery road, when the machine sk1dded and went into the ditch.
 Fortunately, all occupants were thrown clear of the machine, which turned turtle in a ditch partially filled with water. Matthew, however, was thrown with considerable force and sustained many deep cuts and bruises. His companions were immediately at his side and rendered first aid treat ment. He is being attended by Dr. | w. o. Sweek.
