CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET

Chicago, May 20.
Lowest prices yet this season resulted IN
the corn market to-day from prospects OF
bumper crops Of virtually everything but
corn. The finish was unsettled. Y to ~
down, with June 1881. and July 1875 to
1855. Oats closed unchanged to u
higher. The outcome in provisions varied
from go cents decline to a rise of five
cents
Indications Of period OF higher tempera-
lures and OF fair weather added In ma
terial degree to bearish sentiment In corn
based largely on the excellent general crop
outlook and on reports of big country sup
plies Of coarse grain. Notwithstanding that
the acreage OF corn was expected to prove
smaller. than last year. opinions prevailed
that the total would be big enough to
assure a liberal yield II weather conditions
on the whole were good. Accordingly. the
fact that for the moment rain WIS eIces-
sive and sunshine deficient had only tran
silent influence. Rallies which were numsr-
Gus seomed to be due wholly TO buying on
the part of shorts anxious to secure pronts.
Provisions as a rule finally weakened In
consequence Of lower values on hogs.
