FOREIGN EXCHANGE
CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET

Chicago, May 26.-Steep declines in the wheat market today resulted from prospective liberal receipts here and from welcome rains in sections where there has been complaint of drought. The market closed heavy at 1-2 to 12 1-4 net lower with May $1.6S and July s127 3-4 to 1.28. Corn lost 1 to 1 3-Sc; oats 1 to 1 5-8c, and provisions g to 45c.
 With indications at hand that wheat was being shipped to Chicago freely from southwestern and northwestern market centers and that the supply here was likely to be ample to fill deliveries on outstanding May contracts, demand from shorts in that month came almost to a standstill, and the price dropped swiftly The July delivery, in which the bulk of pit transactions teok place, kept within fairly moderate limits as com pared with the big price setback in May, Despite rains and cooler weather the crop outlook continued uncertain, and buying support for July was rather az gressive at times, although not enough to overcome the effect of extensive profit taking on the part of former bulls. Cora and oats declined with wheat notwithstanding that exporters took TOO. 900 bushels of corn and that charters of corn for Buffalo were of unusual mag lntude.
 Provisions were depressed by the downward slide of grain and of hogs as well.

 Although the sun was shining brigtly, a chilling wind swept off the ocean and this gave Dempsey some difficult in get ting loosened up. Dempsey lacked his us- ual speed in his rst two rounds with Re- neault but when he faced Williams, he was hitting viciously. Just before the first round with Williams ended, the champion caught him with a rasping left hook, opening up a cut over the right eye. Dempsey slowed up for the second round giving Williams a chance to whale away at top speed.
 The four rounds with Trambitas and Benjamin were tame as he did not at tempt any solid, hard hitting Benjamin missed the champion so frequently with left and right swings that he als ex- hausted at the finish.
 Dempsey was measured today and the following figures were given out:

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL

New York; May 26.-Trading in the stock market today was of an uncertain character. the undertone shifting from moderate strength to irregularity and back again. Further short covering was prompted by approaching holidays and favorable railroad earnings.
 Other encouraging factors included an Increase in the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy dividend, with resultant benefits to the Hill roads; the probable success of the new French government loan and
 indications that the administration at Washington had instituted measures to stabilize the international financial sit uation.
 Apart from several of the more repre- sentative stocks, however, the list show ed little evidence of outside support. After several covering movements had run their course the market lapsed into it's recent dullness.
