LARGE CROPS IN SIGHT CAUSESA
 DROP IN WHEAT
Corn and Oats Both Lost a Fraction, While the Provi- sions List Was Up and
 Down
By Associated Press

Chicago. May Is. - Pronounced weakness developed in the wheat market today owing more or less to announcement that the Kansas state crop report indicated larger yield than of late had been looked for. Prices closed unsettled at %c to IL C net lower with May s1.397s to s1.40 and July s12fas to st.241s. Corn finished unchanged to ss down: oats A decline to l2e advance, and provisions varying from unchanged figures to 1Oc off.
 Heavy selling of the July delivery of wheat came from the principal long interest in May. Most of the activity showed itself in the last hour of the session, but had been preceded by early selling on the part of foreign holders of September delivery. Aside from 3,o00,000 bushels increased es- inmates of the probable Kansas yield, the trade semed to be impressed with the liberal volume of receipts at this time of the year and With the ab sence of any important export busi- ness.
 Today's arrivals here totalled SIS carloads, and there were advices that St. Louis alone was loading 75 cars with wheat for Chicago. X year ago the days total receipts of wheat in Chicago was 10l cars. Tomorrow receipts at Kansas City were esti- mated at 200 cars and Mondays at 800. During the last hour of the board of trade session. prices crum- bled rapidly in the wheat pit. From the lowest point reached May re- covered about 21ac, but there was little rallying power displayed by the later months.
 Corn and oats prices sympathized a little with the weakness of wheat, although the greater part of the day, attention was chiefly given to re- ports of wet weather hindrance to l corn planting.
 Provision prices were inclined to sag.

NEW YORK COTTON
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

New Orleans, May 19.-Small reac- ton featured the trading in cotton today, the gains invariably bringing out profit taking from holders of long contracts. This tendency was in evidence early and late, causing recession after an initial advance of to 14 points, and put the market
 to It's lowest in the late trading,
 quiries of to 17 points. The close The close was at net losses of to 17 points, July closing at 19.92c, after having sold as low as l9.90c.
 The rise on the opening call was due to better cables than expected and to private reports of rain at d considerable number of points m Texas The weather map failed to show as much rain in the west as
 was indicated in private returns, and
 this helped to bring about the early reaction. but after net declines of to points. new buying was en- countered and little later the buy ing movement was strengthened by the large mill takings for the week, Spot accounts continued favorable, but the market at it's best stood only 10 to 2f points up. compared with the close of yesterday. July touched 20. 20c.
 Mill takings for the week were counted by Hester at 214,00o bales against 2oS.ooo last week and i61,ooo this week last year. These large takings and small movement into sight resulted in decrease in the visible supply of American cotton oi 76.721 bales, against an increase this week last year of S6.5T9, and brought
 the visible down to 2,990.S47 bales against 4,3l4.T9S year ago.

 FlRsT-AlD PACKETS

For several years first-aid pacK- ages have been carried on pullman cars. but hitherto always in lockers, where. although secure, they were out of sight. says the Popular Me- chanics Magazine. As consequence, often when they were most needed, the locker was found to be empty. In order to make such condition impossible in the future, these first aid packets are now being placed in a steel box. finished to match the car, that accommodates two pack cts. and that is attached to the wall in the passageway of the car high enough to be out of the wax of rassers-hN but witsin easy reaeh.ss

SPECULATORS ON
 WALL STREET ARE
 AGAIN VERY BUSY
All Loans Were Available at Easy Money-Large Vol ume of Funds Come
 From the Interior

New York. May 19.-speculative activity in the stock market was re- vived on comprehensive scale to- day. mainly as a result of easier money rates. virtually all forms of accommodation falling to lowest levels In almost five years.
 Aside from call loans, which were freely obtainable at Sls down to 3 per cent, 3o-day money eased to Ss4 per cent, e0-day money was offered at per cent, and loans extending to almost the years end were nego- tiated on Az per cent basis.
 A very large proportion of the days funds came from interior sources. especially New England and the middle west, but the higher ratio of reserves reported in the weekly statement of the local federal reserve bank bespoke relaxed conditions at this center.
 Steels, oils, sugars, coppers and days broad operations at gross ad vance of one to almost five points. Outstanding individual issues em- braced U. s. Steel and New Haven, both at record quotations for two or more years, and closing at net gains of tN and 2A points, respectively.
 Other leaders to show advances of l to over 4 points included Mexi- can Petroleum, Bethlehem, Crucible and Republic Steels General Motors, in which the turnover assumed large proportions; Sinclair, Producers and Refiners, Kelly Springfield Tire, Cuban American Sugar, Industrial Alcohol, and United Retail Stores.
 Reading made net gain of K and concurrent strength of other coalers gave color to rumors that the federal administration. as repre- sented by the departments of com merce and labor had formulated tentative plans for settlement of the coal strike. Pacifics, grangers, trunk lines, and cotton carriers also made more or less substantial gains
 Movements of foreign exchanges were irregular on small dealings. The London rate eased slightly from yes terday's higher level and French. Belgian and Italian bills were ? to 8 points lower. lire again showing acute weakness. Scandinavian quotations were inclined to react and Swiss 4s added to their recent steady decline.
