CHICAGO GRAIN.
By JOSEPH F. PRITCHARD.

Chicago, May 3.-According to the opinion
of one Of the best posted grain men who was
in attendance at the recent conference Of grain
men and the food administration officials at
New York this week there is not likely to be
any future trading in wheat permitted for the
immediate present.
The July corn futures advanced 1iial& today
and June was up IL, while the May showed
no change. The market was in an osersold
condition and the buying power asserted itself
soon after the opening Of the session and the
Offering, instead OF increasing on the hard
spots, were smaller until the last few minutes
OF the session, when there was q reaction in
the July and a decline from the best prices
OF y cent. Primary receipts were $4,000 bush
els. compared with $4,000 for the correspond
ing day last year.
There was a small break in the oats market
early but on buying by scattered export m
price gains soon became general. Bids to-
ward the last Of the session were on the basis
Of ~ over Chicago May on track at Balti-
more . Premium sample oats market were also
strong and number > white was "a over the
May at the close against ~ over earlier in
the day. No. 3 white at Minneapolis was y
to ~ over May. General short covering set
in here during the last hour and strength was
displayed at the close with net price gains
Of Y to ~. Primary receipts Of oats were
large at .D1 900 bushels, compared with 736 900
for the same day last year.
The buying Of ribs BY shippers in the pit
was taken as an indication Of an improved
cash demand and Il was believed most Of this
business was for government account.

COTTON MARKETS.

New York. May a-Fwther sharp Iosves 90
CURED In the cotton market today Japanese
interests were considered the leading buyers
OF the new crop deliveries on the decline. IL
was remarked about the ring that the List need
ed constant support, and this was not good.
There was certainly more bearish than buliish
talk on the floor. The trade In July was under
heavy pressure az the start and sold u points
below last nights close.
The market was very weak and unsettied
during the early trading. The selling move
ment which had been in progress up TO last
Monday, had been checked BY evidences Of q
hrmer technical position and uufavorable
weather. The rally Of over two cents per pound
which followed. however. had evidently reflected
no real change In sentiment. The market was
stir very nervous and unsettled during the
middle Of the morning and continued irTegu-
lar later. The more urgent selling appeared 20
have run Its course on the early break. and
there. was enough covering TO cause rallies Of
some % to Is pointsI
In mid-afternoon prices showed Q net loss
Of 70 to % points with July leading the break.
Tho weakness increased as the decline un-
covered stop loss orders and soon after O'Clock
July contracts were selling at A.s5 or Q full
hundred points below Thursday's close. Later
positions were relatively steady, but showed
declines Of % to. IS points. New Orleans ana
other Southern interests sold. and there were
heavy OFFERINGS at times from Wall Street and
outside sources. The close was steady at . net
decline Of s. to lD pointA Jaranese interests
were considered the leading buyers Of the
new crops on the decline. .-

the fact that under Mr.. Forbes man

attitude Of protecting investors which
is unique in all bond transactions.
For the corporation has been known
to pass up millions OF prospective
