Chicago, HI, May 17. While May
wheat acted tight, there was general
easing in the deferred deliveries. The
dote was about the low point, at net
lok.es of Ijs'ftlisc. The May was
unchanged, lorn and Oat 4 declined
WGi.Vtt, showing a heavy undertone,
while rye was Ji'aJ-)c lower.
May wheat, at the opening, sold
up to si,4!jC new inch on I lie pre
cut movement, 1-ongs sold freely
and a decline of 2 l-4c followed.
Trade was on a liberal scale with
periiatent covering by shorts. The
longs sold on all the minor upturns
after the opening. .Sales of lUS.IXX)
bu.liel were male to go to store,
while thntc who have taken in the
cash grain are now reporting liberal
charters to send gram east.

a concerted sort was re.umed on the

resultant advances of 1 to J point.
Some of the bulletins concerning the
market's movement acribcd the rie
to "rumors of merger possibilities."
in moat ol the other trules as well
as the steel industry. Whether such
mergers were thcmaclvet "probabili
ties" or not, they would certaiuly be
rumored on a market of this sort,
in which the construction of rumor
culurcd to suit the public's taste is
part of the day's work for proles
tional experts.
The news that l'rckident Harding
had invited a group of steel manu
facturers to dine with him tomorrow
night at the White Jloue naturally
helped the task. Mot people prob
ably drew the inference that the presi
dent wished to talk over freight rate
policy with the steel men lfciore dis
cussing it at his dinner to the rail
way managers two days afterward.
Gut Wall street was readier to adopt
the theory of friendly private ex
change of views about "the mergers."
