CHK'AUO, May 18 Wheat prices broke harply today following a substantial Duiga earlier In tha session when the May delivery touched a new high record mark for .tha season, tl.30 per bushol. At tne rtose prices were e below yesterday s final quotations. Corn closed fairly steady, oats firm and provisions weak. Tha wheat ' market displayed decided strength during the first half of the day and prions advanced more than lc above the previous close, May Incidentally rising to tlM. which Is a abova the previous best mark for tha season, established on April 15. During tha final half, however, sentiment became extremely bearish and prices receded lQm to ZHC from the high points .of tha day. The July de livery appeared greatly congested during tne early trading. A. leading elevator con cern, as an acil va. bidder tot that aptlin and tha total purchases credited to that interest during tne day were estimated at fully l.ouo.ou) bushels. There was much coverhtg of short Unas for tha account of a firm, which went Into hands of a receiver yesterday. In addition to these lnfluvnces, the market derived strength .from an advance of Hdfild st Liverpool, '.inc. It waa aald. to unfavorable crop reports frutn Kussla, Oermany and Hungary. Gen eral rains throughout Kansas and Okla homa appeared 'to rmva-been Ignored at the start, but were undoubtedly In trumentai In a large degree In causing tha slump late in the day. The range for July during the day waa $1.13H snd l.lfr The close wss weak at almost the bottom, with July at tl.l.t and Muy at ll.284. Tha strength of waeat. and active de mand for the July delivery by cash Inter est Increased bullish sentiment In corn market early In tha day. In the final hour trie maraei lost much of Its buoyancv. During the dsy the July delivery sold between o and f8jfi?sv. The elose was about stesdy, with prices lower to He higher then' the final qflotatlons of tha pievlous session, July1 being at t8Mjc. Oats were strong sit dsy, notwithstand ing the severe break In wheat prices, in dependent strength developed during the final half of the session on buying based on unfavorable crop reports from Ne braska. The market closed strong, with prlies 'itsr to higher than yester day s close. Provisions wore weak.

Its action was Inconclusive as an Indication of financial opinion or specu lative sentiment. The conviction was verv general that large speculative commit ments had been e osed nut of the market by sslea to take profits. This conviction left the professions! traders undecided as to the significance of the fsct. One party argued that the desire to get sway for summer trips to Europe and enlov the profits accrued furnished the motives for the recent selling and not sny well grounded distrust of the stsbillfy of the market. The same party pointed to th effect of the absorption of these nroflt taking ssles ss Droof of underlvlns strength of the situation. This party in the speculation professed an exDectatlon of an early resumption of the advance. It was unusual, however, for urtvlre f.i hut- stocks on this view of the situation to be coupied with the addition, "on any con siderable recession In nrlcea ' na tha other . side of the argument wss ad vanced the vulnerability of a market in which an extensive speculation for a rise naa oeen carried to conclusion. With prices at a hlah level, the nnwerful mil organised support of the campaign would oe lacaing, ana stocks would be found In the hands of wesker holders.

Oh the only partly tatted cattle bids and sales were a-pnerallv a shade lower and the trade slow. As has been the case for some tlms mil tha rivmnnd was best for the handy, fight and medium weight beeves, and tnese were tree sellers rrom suirt. 10 n man. mmu of the heavier cattle were slow In moving and prices shaded off a little, although the decline was not at all serious. The market for cows and heifers was Just about steady with yesterday. The supplies were fairly liberal, out, witn a gooo. ae msnd from both local butchers and outside buyers, the movement was brisk from start to finish with prices generally in yester day's notches. There was not a great aeau 01 iciivuj In stockere and feeders, although for the most part prices were well sustained for both heavy and light cattle. The demand, however, Is not very extensive at this time. The volume of business was not very large, but for the most part prices shewed no particular change.
