* Ills our on the bear side of tlio cereal markets
today nnd us u conRe < | ucnco bull prollts not
only in Kriilns but In provisions iilso went
glimmering. Copious rains were ruportod
tliruiiKliuuttho wliniit , corn und outs bulls ,
with tnuru promised nnd fours of short crops
on account of drought were dissipated at least
for the present. As 11 coiiiciuonco | thu mar
kets all opened weak nnd operators on the
bear sldo proceeded to take their prollts ,
though the marked recession In prices was
less duo to tliulr olTorts than to a deslro on the
part of holders of loin properly to make their
ilulT. To mid to this discomfort of the holders
the receipts at all points were more liberal ,
llio foreign nir.rkets were lower and to
day's steamers loon out heavy shipments
of gold. The only Important point which the
bulls lia'l In tholr favor was the Ilradstroet
report that available stocks of wheat cust of
the Uoohles had decreased S.KI,000 : bushels
lust week , lluylng against puts early ab
sorbed a liu'n' < ] ( iiinnllty of wheat that had
boon thiown overboard at the start on stop
loss orders. After this buying was over the
market again broke badly. Several of the
luigo sliorls bought on this break and caused
n lespcctablo rally. The llradstrect report
pave It another llttlu lift after It had again
Mggcd but. Us course thereafter was gencr-
ornlly downwind. July opcnu1 at Jl.Ol'.iftl.CU1 ,
Hold olT to Jl.00' ' $ , rallied to 11.01 ! . ' , . bugged to
li.OOU , recovered totl.oi'j , broke to ? lKUrot ( ) ! < o
oSI.OO ai.COl , ' and closed weak nt 11.00.
Corn wus weak from the start. There was
h < avy and general soiling. Cash corn was
iiiito | weak booiinseof the lic.ivy ollVrlng.s anil
of course aided In depressing the futuros.
The nilns in the corn belt and the weakness
In wheat were the main causes of llio dcslto
to soil. Pi Ices declined throughout the ses-
Blon wltlioiit niali'ilnl reaction ; July going
from fi7'iB.Vi'4u at the opening , broke to .V > ! iC
al the oloso.
Oats were not us weak relatively as corn ,
but llio rains nevertheless weakened some
what llio position of holders. July opened at
l.'iiiftlli'BC. sold to Ki'io ' , and elf to 4.Vie-
'I he Impnncd outlook for the corn crop
materially weakened pru\lslon . Large re
ceipts of hogs and a general desire to raid by

V. ( J. Hwart.t Co. ; The copious rains which
fell yesterday and toduy tliroiuliout the
wheat sections both sprint : and winter , con
verted the steady iniincia of yesterday intou
very wouk one today. Long wheat ciiinu on
( lie market from nil iiuurters and the boars
fought persistently and fearlessly. Ilull news
Hccnicdlo liuvo no olToctim the market Ital-
ttmoro reported sales of 100,000 for export In
July and Now York advised that thu present
bieak brings them with n limits of honiU'luruo
buying orders. Tlio ruin , however , ont-

Vork , 70,000 bushels wheut. The eloso
of the market Is very weak with
Indications of still lower prices tomorrow.
Corn was very uctlvo nnd very wouk. Thu
rains had a strong Inlliiencu In breaking prices

very weak under llio inlliieiico of lurgoly In
creased lecelpts und general soiling out of
longs for country account. Provisions lie-
eolpts of hogs were ! > , OOJ In excess of estimates
und the market lOo lower. There was general
selling out of small lots of long stuff for coun-
liy account at ( lie opening and although there
woiu several reactions , tlio market was lame
and wouk throughout. Several packers who
have bought largely of July with u view to
soiling short on bulges were free sellers today
at the current market , .Should this continue
lower prices must result.
NEW VOIIK , M.iy : U Kennett. Hopkins tc Co.
loS. A. MoWhortor : The market had u voiy
hhurp rally toduy and stocks have been pin-
chased with morn confidence than on any day
fora week. 1'urly buying was largely for
London account and no doubt was chlelly to
cover shot-Is. It hud just us stimulating an ef
fect on thu market , however , as though It had
been for long account , although the ellcct
will not bo ns durable , ( laid export seems lo
bo losing Inlluenee In the minds of t radius be
cause they have not iill'ected our money mar
ket to nny appreciable extent and hecutiso It
Is well known that shipments aru made under
peculiar circumstances which are of a tem
porary nututo and likely to bu followed not
only by u letiiin of gold , but by nuicliases of
American securities for foreign account.
There was a further small quantity of gold
tuken today. Sterling exchange Is weak und
opinions dillor as to whether moro gold will
bo taken for shipment Saturday. Tlio mar
ket closed btroni ; at about the best figures of
the day.
CIIICAOO , Mny 20. I.ognn & Co. to Toncray
& llryan : Thu bountiful rains reported last
night where needed In thu west and north-
went brought selling orders fiom these sec
tions and piodnced au earliest desire on thu
part of longs generally to stand from under.
The clearance were reported as light ami the
day's cash business limited. The market closes
near the bottom. Corn wus weak from the
Blurt , due lo the ouniii causes Influencing
wheat. The clo o wus weak nt the bottom.
Oats followed tlio lend of Its older brother
corn , and closed low. Pork on the decline
was bought by sliorls covering for July , but
the Mice-ceding rally was soon lost und the
close was about the lowest.
