COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL

POSITIVELY DULL ON THE BOARD
In Corn the Mitrleot Again Suffcrnl from

Outlook for the Next
( Ipiicrnl Crop.
CHICAGO , Mny 21-The edgp was taken
oft the bull movement on the Hoard of
Trade todiiy , unil evfrythlng closed lower.
In conuntlFOii with yeiUirdnv'-i llnul fig
ures , wheat finished l > tc off , corn , 1'id oals
He , pork 3tfc. lard nnd ribs 2'ic ' each.
The weakness In ginln vvnsowing lo heavy
realizing sales ninels In Iho face of Ihc most
Kloomy crop reports jet received , and that
In provisions was the result of the he..iv >
receipts of hogs and the weakness In corn
A reaction was In oidu In the gialn mm-
kots. The commission houses that foi more
than two weeks have been urging their
ruatomcia who had good profits In wheat
bought to lake llicm Burcecdetl at length In
Inducing u "ufHclent numbei lo sell lo cause
a considerable setback In the price Al
though Ihe Liverpool vvheal market opened
lower than It closed , and It had rained In
Kansas during the night , the niniket
dropped , with Eom > bu > ers willing to paj
73c for July wheat Not man > , however ,
paid thnl ; Ihc great majority were willing
at "S c , or the name as It was wotth at the
close of > csteiday's B ° slon , nnd some even
pressed some wheit for sale which had n
Kood prollt at 7S'4 ' < ' A goud deal of wheat
was wanted fiom 7Sc to iS'ic , and bofor'
the cnily bin Ing orders vvhlili succeeded
the opening break e mM be all Illle-d the
price rojc again lo ' . < < Tor nbout fifteen
or twenty minutes the price lif > a\ed up nnd
down In lircgul.tr swrlls and depressions
between 7h5 c and 79c , and then came a
crash.
Corn , whleh was showing heaviness on ac
count of the libel al leccipts of that article ,
commenced to tumbl ° , nnd when It had
broken ' , < .e below the price It had closed
nt jestErday wheat had n sympa
thetic spismi and collapsed "uddcnlv to
77'c. The reviving inlluoi ce of fre h bujlng
older * wan npiln supplied and before man }
minutes It had tinln irecovered to 79'tC
The III ft dovvnwaid plunge was due to
the lower cablps , pahs by longs and tin-
execution of "ton lo s rndoif On tlio next
turn It dtcllneel lo 7SV , and then kept
wobbling lazily for an horn or more be
tween 78'fce1 and 79c The volume of trad
ing vvns very much reduced as compared
with Hi" tremendous bulk of busln KS done
cveiy el ly for ten elnjs back 'I here were
considerable Intelvals during which their
was actual dullness In the pit , but nt no
time was theie nn absence ol neivous
vvnlohfulness that kept thu pit filled with
brokers , all alert for contingencies. The
reports from the countiy coneemlng the
crops of the states of Indiana and Illinois
were woful In th Ir men itonous reiteration
of destruction In addition to these states ,
Ohio , Kentucky and Missouri joined the dole
ful chorus , and even the northwest had some
complaints to send nbout unfavorable
wealher foi Miring wheat , but It was rain
ing In South Dakota this moinlng , so that ,
ns rcgnids spring whent , the belief In n
peed prospect ftr It did not suffer The
market began to vvcnk n verj much during
the afternoon hour , and long wheat kept
coming out In htaxv chunks from that time
up lo the cloje That resulted In a rapid
and heavy diop In Ihe prlrj There wan
a strong fight during the decline nt liom
7Sc lo 77"e and llimli } at "f.p. but it was
not until Hi" latter point was icached that
the selling oidcrs censed to prevail There
was a recovery to 77c In the last few mln-
ufH. but at the close thorn were sellers
nt 77c , nnd It dropped to 7b"Jc , before the
crowd separated.
In corn the maikct ngnln suffered from
heavy receipts and fnvotnblc outlook foi
the next crop A good demand fiom the
Pcabonrd , resulting in the sale foi expoit
of 250.000 bu , sustained the price early In
the day , Imt the afternoon weakness of
xvheat nnd the flno weather were the most
Influential factors In the end , and a consid
erable decline lesulled 'Ihe opening price
for July was CPjC , 01 Vic under the previous
day's closing eiuotntlon It was prevented
from g'ttlng very weak while the cafdi
business ruported was under way , but grad
ually worked down to Kl'ic It had n quick
reaction to KOiC , whleh was the price nt
the clo c
Further and more discouraging reports of
crop dninngp by the weather stalled a com
paratively firm feeling In th ° oats market
It did not last long , however , weakening
xvlth wheat and corn Theic wnt free sell
ing on the decline nnd at times ellfllcnlty
was experienced In finding buyers. Taken
ns a whole , however , business was active
ttnd sales heavy
1'rovKlons weie weak from beginning to
end. The hog receipts are proving more
than the cash dcmanel will absorb nnd corn
Is weak.
Estimated rec ° lpts for tomorrow : Wheat ,

leekly review of trade , which Issues to-
norrow , will say : If wheat has been so
groitly Injured by Ihe snow : ) nnd frosls In
lay that the sudden rls of 12 cents In two
vcsks Is justified , Ihe calamity will nftect
11 business prospecls. The markets do not
ielleve It , for stocks do rot collap c , Iron ,
enther and hides still rise , nnd no holder
f wheat would sell at fcO cents , a lower
irlco than had been known at this season
01 thlrly years prior lo 1S93 , If currenl re-
iorts were credited. Some Injury has un-
oubledly been sustained , bill our own dls-
lalches do nol show that It Is really serl-
3UR. The tamper Is to buy , regardless of
Islble requirements , In the fnlth that prices
re sure to rise. Westein receipts of wheat

NEW YORK , May 24 Tlio World pub
lishes telegraphic reports from nearly 300
polnls In the wheat belt , showing the exact
condition of the crop. "These reports , " the
World sajs , "show that on the v.iht wheat
fainis of the northwest , In Minnesota and
the Dakotas , the wheat crop Is not only un-
Injuied , but actually Is in better shnpo than
the aveiago condition. 'Never bctt r' Is a
significantly frequent expression of iho cor
respondents from that section of the coun
try.
try."From the southern section of th'j wheat
bell Ihere comes a different story. Kansas
reports Indicate less than half a ciop. In
Illinois , Indiana and Ohio chlnchbugs , rust
nnd other Ills have aided the frost in doing ;
extensive damage to wheat. Missouri anel
Michigan also report heavy losses.
"On the Pacific'slope , which IB becoming
ono of the largest vvneat producing sections
In the countiy , all leports agrco that the ,
crop Is above the average.
"Taking the whole wheat belt together
with the Pacific slope it seems clear from
these reports that the present prospects for
at least an average crop are favorable
"Favorable conditions and an increased
crop in the vast fields of the northwest will
easily make up for the lessened crops In the
diminished wheat area of the central stales. "
