LIBERAL RECEIPTS
 WAS CAUSE FOR
 STEEP DECLINES
By Associated Press

Chicago, May 26.--Steep declines In the wheat market today resulted from prospective liberal receipts here and from southwestern and northwestern there has been complaint of drouth. The market closed heavy at 4h to 12Ac net lower with May $1.6S, and July s1.27N to s1.2s. Corn lost i to 1%c; oats i to 1 sc, and provisions 22 to 46c
 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 de- Everies of outstanding contracts. de- r1and from shorts in that month came almost to a standstill, and the price dropped swiftly. Seaboard exporters who were credited with being the chief longs in May seemed to be convinced that the peak of values had been passed, and to be willing 10 sell, es- pecially as the day approached an end. The July delivery, in which the bulk of pit transactions took place. kept within fairly moderate limits as com pared with the big price set back .n May. Despite rains and cooler weather the crop outlook continued uncertain, and buying support for July was rather aggressive at times, although not enough to overcome the effect of extensive profit taking on the part of former bulls
 Corn and oats declined with wheat, notwithstanding that exporters took 100000 bushels of corn and that char ters of corn for Buffalo were of un- usual magnitude. Provisions were de- pressed by the downward slide of grain and of hogs as we'll

NEW YORK COTTON
By Associated Press New York, May 26.-The cotton market
New Orleans Cotton

 ! New Orleans, May 26-During a. part or the session today the cotton market was soft as the result of continued favorable weather over the greater part of the belt. and yesterdays buyers seemed inclined to let go the contracts. This was caused by messages from Texas saying that the first bale of the new crop was on it's way to that market from San Benito, Texas. This is by far the earliest bale on record and is exactly month earlier than the first bale of last season. The previous early bale record was made In 1916, when the first bale was received in Texas on the 10th of June. The re- port of a new bale today was regarded as highly significant In view of the re- cent statements that Texas would market a thousand bales of new cotton during the month of June.
 In the early trading prices were to points lower at first but better cables than due and hope of the report regard ing prospects of settling British labor troubles caused enough buying to put July up to 12.51c and the most active months 8 to points higher than the close of yesterday. Selling increased on this hard spot and was in evidence un- til after midsession, carrying July off to 1928 and putting the list IS to l9 points under the final prices of yester- day. Toward the close shorts covered in order to get the profits. Probably this realizing was hastened by a private bureau report placing the condition If the crop at only s3 per cent of normal. the reduction in acreage at 301 per cent and the indicated crop at 7,40o,000 bales. The market rallied and closed at net losses on the day of only to points. with July at 12.41.f

 New York, May 26.--No change was reported in the local market for raw sugar today.

Local refiners, however, feel that new duties may be in effect before sugars bought for shipment could arrive here and paid 506c basis centrifugal for 2,350 bags of San Domingoes and Brazilian out of store.

WALL STREET HAD A DAY OF SEE-SAWING AND MORE COVERING
Foreign Exchange Markets Were Rather Confusing, With Rates on London
 Continuing to React
By Associated Press

New York, May 26.-Trading in the stock market today was of an uncer- tain character, the undertone shift ing from moderate strength to ir- regularity and back again. Further short coverings was prompted by ap- preaching holidays and favorable rail- road earnings.
 Other encouraging factors included an increase in the Chicago, Burling ton and Quincy dividend, with re- sultant benefits to the Hill roads; the probable success of the new French government loan, and indication that the administration at Washington had instituted measures o-stabilize the in- ternational financial situation.
 Apart from several of the more re- presentative stocks. however the list showed little evidence of outside sup Fort. After several covering move ments had run their course, the market lapsed into its recent dullness.
 Rails, oils, steels, equipments, ship pings and coppers again encompassed a large proportion of the days oper- ations, at extreme gains of to 3 points. These. in several instances. were materially shaded at the finish.
 Chief elements of weakness were the rubber and tire issues, as well as food specialties and several of the unclassi- ned stocks whose dividend records were believed to be endangered
 Further withdrawals to meet federal demands and June interests and divi- dend payments forced call money from its opening rate of to 71z per cent in the final hour. Bank demand accept ances rose to per cent, but time rates ana commercial paper were unchanged.
 The foreign exchange market was iather confusing. Rates on London con tInued to react; there was another sharp break in Dutch remittances, and Trench, Belgian and Spanish bills were firm to strong.
 Liberty issues and some of the foreign bonds were active and strong Tn anticipation of the outcome of the new French Notation, but changes in the general list were irregular and mainly fractional. Total sales, par value. S123 moo
