WHEAT IS STILL
ON THE DECLINE
Little Selling Causes Break
Buying Field is Very
Limited

Chicago May 1.-THE lack of buy
ing demand at the opening was the
pronounced feature and a little SELL
ing caused another big break. On the
break there was moderate commits
sion house buying which rallied prices
a little. Weather and crop conditions
in the main are favorable. Under
present conditions the buying power is
decidedly limited, and any further at
tempts to liquidate long wheat may
precipitate further declines.
Minneapolis stocks decrease 100000
bushels for the week.
Cash prices are easing off and the
flour trade is now beginning to
slacken as the result of the recent
boarding purchases are becoming ef-
fective.
Corn: Opened fairly steady but To-
Gals sold on the slump in wheat Bet
ter buying was in evidence on the de-
cline and prices rallied Cash demand
fair, but country not selling much as
yet Weather fine for getting in the
crop.
Oats: Trade fairly active with the
market little lower with other
grains. Commission houses been good
buyers on the break with cash inter-
ests taking quite a little July. Cash
demand is fair.
Provisions: Market is easier. Hogs
dull and weak, receipts moderate.
Cash trade is Indifferent.

REFLECTS CONFIDENCE.
Wall Street Makes Such Conclusion on
the Russian Loan.

New York, May 17.---Naturally Wall
street reached the cinclusion that the
Russian loan reflected confidence on
part of the administration that con-
ditions in Russia would work out along
lines that would prevent that country
from negotiating separate peace with
Germany. Doubtless the provisional
government of Russia is promising 1t
will continue to oppose the central
powers but that is not a promise that
the various discordant elements in the
Russian population will back up their
present government.
I Perhaps our government took a long
chance that a loan would prevent fur
ther disturbances in Russia and per-
haps in making the loan 1t had in
mind the unfavorable effect OF a sep
arate peace by Russia might have on
our own war financing. Steel trade
authorities say efforts to get steel
products for. export and for home con-
sumption are so active that prices are
no obstacle and that railroad buying
recently held back by the various I'M
certainty in the situation is starting
again with current sales of rails by
the United States Steel company to-
falling $4,000 tons for 1919 delivery.

Chicago, May ia Washington
dispatch to The Tribune says: Con
WINGED that the gigantic wheat buying
operations OF Great Britain and its
allies are chiefly responsible for the
sky rocketing prices of breadstuffs in
this country, the United States gov
ernment has asked the foreign ma
tons concerned to dispose of their inn
mense holdings OF grain for future
delivery. In the preliminary negotia-
tons on this proposal the representa-
tives Of the allies have indicated q
willingness to part with their future
holdings provided the United States
will guarantee that they will receive
the amount OF wheat they need from
the coming crop. The administration
has been advised by representatives
selling OF future holdings by the
allies would reduce the price OF wheat
at once.

WHEAT TAKES
ANOTHER DROP
Government Asks Allies to
Sell Future Delivery
Contracts
(By Assoclated Press.l

Chicago, May II. Sensational
downward plunges in the wheat mar
ket took place today, largely owing to
reports that the u. s. government has
asked Great Britain and her. European
allies to sell immense holdings of flu
ture delivery contracts of wheat,
which had been purchased in this
country and which were said to be
chiefly responsible for the recent sky
rocketing price of breadstuffs. The
maximum fall in values this morning
was 1s cents.
According to the continuance Of ar
tificial restriction on trading the ag-
gregate Of contraction in the wheat
market was very small. despite the
wide range of prices. July wheat, in
which the greatest depression was
witnessed, fell to $2.14, as against
$3.50 at yesterdays finish, but later
rallied to 1920.

Chicago, May 17.--Liquidatio of May

Another week will see big change

BETTER CROP WEATHER.
Western Section of United States in
Good Condition.
(By Associated Press.)

(By Associated Press.)
Washington, May 17.-More season
able weather conditions during the
week just ended caused crops to make
excellent progress in the western half
of the country, but in eastern dis
tricts extreme cold was decidedly un-
favorable.
The national weather and crop bull
letin said cotton and corn and some gar
den truck were not only retarded but
considerably damaged by the continued
cold weather. This week was more
favorable for farm work, however, and
good progress was made in all sections.
There are many reports Of increased
acreage of food crops, although the
necessity of replanting and the lack of
labor will reduce the intended increase
somewhat.
Winter wheat generally is making
good growth except in oklahoma. Corn
Is being planted on much of the aban-
doned winter wheat acreage in Nebras-
ka. Spring wheat is making excellent
growth in the southern and central
states of the belt and on the Pacific
coast Cool weather in central and
eastern districts was unfavorable for
corn and in places much will need to
be replanted.
In the southern states cotton was
unfavorably affected and corn made
slow growth.
There are many reports of increased
acreage for potatoes.

FAIR SIZED INFLUX.
Strength Of Curb Market Proves
Mannat-

New York-The strong undertone
which the market on the curb had dis
played since the opening of trading
this week resulted in fair sized in
flux Of public buying orders at today's
opening on which prices opened up in
all parts of the list The market was
i'm prime condition for an old fashion
ed bear panic. The wild scenes in the
trading in the Russian bonds in which
those issues scored one of the most
sensational advances ever made in q
like period by bonds OF foreign gov
eminent in an American market was
a scene such as to cause the large pro-
fessional element short Of stocks to
rush to cover in widest fashion.

GRAIN OPINIONS

Wagner-More evidence is presented
to prove that flour demand of June and
July will be seriously decreased as the
result OF stocking by the public.
Harris Winthrop: Under present
trading conditions the character Of
the market is not likely to change, at
least until hedging sales become fac
tor.
Ware & Leland-Country offerings
were said to be getting freer and
premiums somewhat easier.

New York, May 17.-Steel companies
are suffering from a surplus of bust
ness and to aggravate the position
more the yards of many mills are SO
choked with goods that operations are
being interfered with, says Wall Street
Topics. Several weeks ago it was
learned that one plant of the steel
company had fully 100000 tons of
goods piled up waiting for cars and
the situation has not improved since.
More finished steel is moving to
customers than in February and March
but the check put upon the outflow
during the winter has by no means
been overcome.
