Increase of 1900 Tubs in Week
Breaks Prices.

CHICAGO, May % CP.-The sea
sonal increase in receipts, which had
long been expected and had already
been noticeable in some degree, was
clearly evident during the week end
ing May %. Receipts were heavier at
all markets than during the week pre-
ceding, the increase amounting to
some 1900 tubs.
AS a result prices showed sharp
declines, and while the week closed
with market conditions somewhat
steadier, prices had declined amounts
ranging from l cent at Chicago to 8
cents at New York. The latter mar
ket was probably the weakest of all,
which may have been the result of
the large increase in receipts occur
ring at that market, on account of the
relatively higher level which had pre-
vailed there previous to the price de-
