NEAR COMPLETION OF
PLANTING, CORN WEAK
Prices Down Compared With q
Week Ago on the Reports Of
Field Operations.

CHICAGO. May 25.-Decided down.
ward swings in the price Of corn have
resulted this week from reports that
planting was nearly over. and that
the amount Of replanting necessary
this year would be under the normal.
Compared with a week ago. the corn
market this morning was IN cents
to IL cents down; oats unchanged
to cent higher. and provisions of.
40 cents to $40. .
Notwithstanding that fear Of delays
to the completion Of seeding brought
about numerous rallies In the corn
market. bearish sentiment had an un-
mistakable predominance. The fact
that rains were interfering with
planters to q material extent was gem
orally conceded. but some Of the sec.
tions that received the heaviest down
pours were where moisture was
needed most for wheat and other
crops. A shortage would increase the
need Of corn. Gossip that farmer
still had liberal reserves Of corn and
that the movement after plantin r
would be large tended also to
weaken values.
Oats were relatively strong in SYM
pathy with advances in Winniper

movaI OF the last dry SPOT from the

been the case in France, where the
