SELLING OF WHEAT
APPEARS TO HINGE
ON CROP FIGURES

CHICAGO, May 2e-General SELL
ing of wheat today with pronounced
absence of speculative demand, ap-
peared to hinge more or less on an
official estimate of the probable
yield of wheat in Kansas. prices
closed heavy, 21a to 25s cents net
lower, with July s1.14A 91.14ss
and September s1.13@1.13M. Corn
to IL cents and provisions 5 to 7
cents.
Inasmuch as the state official fore
cast of Kansas wheat production this
season, altogether smaller than the
average for the last five years, prov
ed to be 100000 bushels larger than
the majority of traders here had ex-
pected, the wheat market showed
from the outset a tendency to drop
dence on the part of holders was
to a lower level of prices. Confi-
plainly lacking and pressure from
them to unload was accompanied by
vigorous selling drives by shorts.
Fair and warmer weather counted
as an additional bearish influence.
and SO. too, did corn market weak
ness as we'll as predictions which
were circulated that Russia would
have more than 100000 bushels of
wheat for export this season.
W
wheat market were current at the
finish and much concern was ex-
pressed in some quarters as to
where speculative support for values
could be obtained when new crop
hedging sales begin in earnest. Ac-
cording to one view, the continued
lack of speculative demand is due
to ordinary recurrent causes and
with new incentives the demand will
revive. Another explanation given
is that the withdrawal of speculative
support was because of trade sur
veillance, actual or implied, which
has disturbed the entire market
structure.
With Kansas corn acreage report
ed as the largest since 1918, the
corn market developed Independent
weakness. oats followed corn. Sep
TENDER oats touched new low price
recorde for the season.
Provisions reflected the fall in the
price of grain.

sicians, W. w. Rahm, one of the
prime movers of the Albany Decatur

German Premier Suggests
Radical Plan To Prevent
Further Trouble

BERLIN, May 26-Mortgaging of
all property in Germany to the eX-
tent of 10 per cent for the purpose
of paying separations to the allies
has been proposed by Chancellor
Cuno.
With French presence in the Ruhr
leading to communist and terrorist
riots. the German government ex-
reets to rush through its new guar
anty plan with all haste to remove
foreign bayonets from its soil.
Cuno began calling party leaders
Saturday night to inform them of
the new reparations proposal out
lined by the cabinet. The measure.
II is learned, provides for payment
of 100000, 900 gold marks. or about
$3.50, 100000 annually, to be derived
from interest In the property mort
cages. Thus all Germany would act
a s security for reparations.
The fact that this step was origi-
nally suggested by the German In
dustrial league suggests that the big
tndustrialists will demand conces-
s!ons from the government in return
for their support. These concessions
Will include. 1t Is believed, the turn

NEW ORLEANS COTTON FUTURES


: NEW ORLEANS, May 26.-After a
period OF rather pronounced quiet in the
early trading today, the cotton market at
tanned considerable strength the result
of too much rain In eastern and central
portions of the belt. too low temperatures
in the southwest ard fear that further wet
weather would be experienced over con-
siderable areas over Sunday. Late in the
session prices were at their highest, at net
gains of 10 to so points. The close was
~ to 10 points up. July traded up to
27.4sc, and closed at 2737c; October
traded up to 24.20c and closed at 24.15c.
In the early trading scattered liquida-
ton came from the long side. and soon
after the opening 1t was felt in sufficient
volume to put prices to their lowest. de-
clines under yesterdays close of to II
points. July sagged to 27.1oo and October
to ).91c. The unfavorable weather map
pulled the market out of its decline and
the second half of the session produced
much stronger tone.
An unfavorable opinion of weekly trade
reports had something to do with the
early decline, but these reports were
wholly offset later on by accounts of
grassy crops in many localities in the
eastern belt and the claim that the crop
situation actually was serious in some To-
calties, because Of lack of sufficient labor
to clean the fields even should the weather
permit.

Wheat Prices Higher
While Corn Declines

CHICAGO, May 26.-Higher prices
for wheat have gone hand in hand
this week with lower prices for corn.
Unfavorable crop reports lifted the
value of wheat Some enlargement of
corn receipts at st. Louis, Kansas
City and Omaha weakened the corn
market. Compared with a week ago,
wheat this morning was q to l cent
higher, corn q q Is to L &c down, oats
Il decline to a shade advance and
provisions varying from 5 to cents
off to 10 cents gain.
Impaired crop prospects for wheat
were reported day after day from
Kansas and oklahoma and from Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois as well and there
were indiCatioS that whereas spring
wheat advices We're favorable, the
growth throughout the entire winter
wheat belt was sub-normal AL
though some traders We're disinclined
to place much faith in the reported
deterioration, others took the ground
that to large extent higher wheat
was going back instead of making
progress, and that warm weather was
needed to bring the crop along.
Big export clearances of wheat and
flour. together with a decided falling
off In the United States visible sup
ply of wheat attended further to
strengthen wheat prices. Warlike
moves by Turkey and Greece were
also given some attention as bullish
factors. Slowness OF speculative buy
ing, however, and of new export bust
ness acted as more or less of check
on upturns in prices, and So too, at
times did weakness of stocks. togeth-
er with assertions that European
crops are in better condition than
last year.
Notwithstanding that no increase
of the movement of corn to Chicago
took place, the corn market here was
bearishly affected by the lessened
scarcity at other centers. oats were
easier with corn.
Packing houses reported trade
brisk and provisions averaged higher,
despite a setback in hog values.

Sharp Recoueries In
Speculative Markets

NEW YORK, May 26.-sharp recoveries
took place this week in all speculative
ets-stock, cotton. grain and sugar
again exceeded the gains, but higher
prices were noted for number of i'm.
portant products. notably mid continent
gasoline rubber, lead. zinc and high-grade
beef.
The rally in stock prices came after
nearly eight successive weeks of reaction,
at the elimination of which the averages
for 90 industriafs and 20 railroad baro-
metric stocks were within point of the
lows of last November. While the recov,
cry was generally regarded as natural
correction of an oversold condition shorts
were. compelled to compete with heavy
buying of so-called bargain hunters"
One of the most significant develop
ments of the week was announcement by
j. p. Morgan g. Co. that 1t had underwrit-
ten $25 900, 900 Of the $3.50, 100000 Aus
tran loan. This construed by the
financial community as testimony to both
the soundness of the domestic investment
situation and the progress made In the
economic rehabilitation of Austria.
German marks broke below .0017 cents
on Saturday for the first time in history,
the weekly Rechsbank statement pre-
viously having shown that note circulation
in that country had exceeded the stupen-
dous sum of seven trillion marks.
