Rural Offerings of New Wheat Due 10
 Arriue Bears Market
Bx Associated Press

Chicago. June 15.-Increased rural offerings of new wheat to arrive and bearish effect on the wheat mar ket today, and prices loser unset- tied to 3A cents net lower, with July s1.31A to $1.52A and Septem- Der s1.22 to S1.22a. Corn finish ed 74 to E cents down and oats off ss O to %@A. In provisions the outcome was unchanged to zoo higher.
 Country offerings of new wheat to te shipped to Chicago in time fer delivery on July contracts were of sufficient volume to put bulls at a decided disadvantage from the out set Illinois growers in particular seemed to be pressing to sell. In ad- dition, liberal receipts at Western points, total of 100000 bushels, suggested ample supplies of old wheat still on farms. Slowness ot export call tended further to weaken the market, but this factor was partly cff-set later by word from ihe sea- Loard that considerable business with 1eIIudny ndu peen put lnTnuSH Floods in Nebraska and Karsa.s at tFacted notice also, and reports of black rust in south Dakota came f. om 9 wider area. Rallies which ensued proved, however, to be only transient ir the absence of any aggressive buying.
 Excellent crop reports and large stocks on hand put corn on the down grade, and carried the oats market along. Higher quotations on hogs gave something of a lift to provisions

Not a whelan Property.

The financial community was deeply
interested yesterday in the report from
Dover that the United Retail Shain
Stores had been incorporated with a
Delaware charter and q 100000 cap
italization. Inasmuch as the Whelan-
Duke interests have been more or less
active In preventing the use Of the
name United Retail In any but their
own properties. Wall Street came TO the
conclusion that another Whelan COM
pany had been formed. A representa-
tive OF Mr.. wheian, however denied
yesterday afternoon that the new COM
pany was in any way connected with
United Retail Stores or any other OF
his properties. and added that he had
not the slightest idea who was behind
II. AS a result OF this and in view OF
action taken In similar circumstances
heretofore Wall Street is looking for
the United Retail Stores interests to
make an attempt to enjoln the new
company from using the name.

It Is obvious that there 10 going ~
be some serious family objections TO
any change In the Pennsylvania Rail
roads unbroken dividend record of
ffty-six years when It's directors meet
on April ~ for consideration Of its
dividend problem. Wall Street gener-
ally believes that a REIMBURSEMENT of its
dividend must be made, and yesterday
it's stock touched 34B. It's lowest of this
year. A prominent director OF the road
said yesterday that the problem had not
been considered ard that several weeks
would eIapse before 1t would become a
pressing one. ''It is no reason to re-
duce a dividend because the property
has failed to earn 1t in the quarter In
which the dividend IS paid he said,
and added that he was a great believer
In the Pennsylvania as a property.
