CHICAGO WHEAT MARKEr

Chicago, May Although wheat prices took an upturn at the start today, the market averaged lower. Heavy ar- rivals here and at other leading centers indicated that the amount of wheat still available was large. The close was un- settled at 2zc net decline to 7-S advance with May $1.33 1-2 and July SIPS 5-S to $1.23 34. Corn finished Is to 3-S cents down and oats off 1-2 to l cent. In provisions the outcome varied from 2 cents decline to rise of 20 cents.

Lack of any big shipping demand here together with the unusually large receipts and the con tinued good sized movement from the in terior all tended to stimulate selling which included considerable liquidation on the part of the holders Besides, crop reports were generally favorable and it was predicted that harvesting in the southwest would begin about the mid de of June.

New York, May 22.-The greater part of today's fairly large operations If C.:e bond market centered around specula- tive rails and several of the local utili- ties, domestic and foreign war loans contributing less than their usual pro- portions.
