The grain markets collapsed . in the last 10 minutes of trading after being weak with few feeblt ,ralhes during the day. An avalanche of selling was on from start to finish, especially at the last. ' ! . The semidemoralization at the fin ish was due to selling of a large line by the Riordan interest which caught corn weak and carried prices down faster than it was possible to keep track of. " 'July corn led the break with a drop of 13j4c from the close of Thursday, while May was off 9c and September, 1154c. There were sales of July as low as $1.S7J4 around the close,' although $1.$8 was the lowest official price. All other grains r slid off with corn, oats losing 2fgc to 64c, with July leading. Rye was panicky and lost 14'c to 18&C and barley, 4j4c to 7c. There wis no good support to any of ths markets through the day, the main buying coming from profit-taking by 'shorts and baying against Dias, ins iauer paying urge profits where they were held at the last. rrarlstons Steady. Provisions did et wsaksa is proportJea with grains although being sold freely at ths last and losses oa pork wsro TS to $1.40. lard llVk to S6o and short ribs 40 to 47HO. 1 . It was not a .question of aswa hot of pit conditions tat governed ths action of .market values, i The underlyln condi tions were bearish and ths materiallallsa tlon of them In ths way of liquidation by holders and Increased selling pressure from all quarters .were the main factors. Demoralisation in cotton with declines ranging up to $18 a bals were factors that aided In making buyers timid, Increasing the selling pressure. Ths large eastern traders were active from the start and their selling caused the first break of ever So In corn, i ' Crop Conditions Bearish. Weather and crop conditions were bear ish. In the movement statistics there was nothing to make on bullish under ex isting conditions. The drastic order of the Interstate Commerce commission revising all former regulations as to the handling of cars counted .strongly sgalnst ths prices. . i . Export business, was not svldence and cash prices failed to share In the full Recline with futures owing to ths trade being over before Hie break came. Arrivals were only 13 carl wheat, 105 cars corn, 76 cars oats. 8 cars rye and 21 ears barley. After the close deliveries on May trades were 170,000 bushels oats, the first this month, with 300,000 bushels more to follow within a few days and 15,000 bushels rye. Fit Notes. ; The grain markets were so weak- at the close today that- professional traders in the main and commission houses in gen oral predicted a lower opening tomorrow. Margin calls tonight were heavy and a few of the Commission houses ssked that they be kept at, 15c per bushel on corn, 5 7c on oats ana 26c on rye. It was said eastern traders sold a good many millions bushels of corn today. They were wrong- during an advance of over 6576c since last February and have been pressing the market with success the last few days, A strong local operator was among the largest buyers to taks profits during the greater part of the day, as 'were also a few of the houses with eastern connections. At tho low point today corn futures were 16 20c lower thaa ths high point made last Saturday, oats 5 8c. rye 3132o and barley 170Uc. A break of 13c In corn In one day at this season is unusual and reflected ths weak specu lative position. Little new buying has been coming onto the market of late and liquidation with an Irregular movement of values is expected to last until the sell ing fever is over. A few sharp observers sajd after ths close that corn was heavily oversold. Peoria Industries are using kaffir com In making alcohol, and a great deal of molasses In the manufacture of foods. In two day this week receipts of kaffir corn was 27 cars. It Is being bought at equal to 40o under Indian corn and la said to give better resuits. The 170,000 bushels of oats delivered on May sales today were the first this montn " went to shippers, Knight taking 125, 000. It Is expected more than 300,000 bushels will be put out the next few days. These are the Canadian oats received last week, grading No. 3 white. It Is estimated foreigner already own a round 37,000,800 bushels of wheat in Ar gentina, practloally the present entire ex portable surplus of that country. The Argentine government Is expected to limit clearances. Preference will be given to purchases for foreign governments. A board of trade membership sold todav at $6,750 net to the buyer, off $750 to $1,000 from the previous sales. Chicago Closing Prices. gyTJpdlke Grain Co., Doug. 2627. May 21. Art. Open. 1 High. Low.

Such diverse results were obtained Sn today's dealings in the market as to show that, while current economic forces were displaying less power in some directions, they were gaining in others. In cotton a violent 'fall of quotations carried the May option down nearly $20 a bale, while the other contracts- were severely de pressed. Grain fell rapidly at Chi cago, corn futures receding from 4 to more than 6 cents a bushel, and provisions were unsettled. The evidence that liquidation was reaching out in widening circles from textile and allied lines was vividly presented in these markets, and news of the day denoted that corre sponding processes were becoming increasingly active in other coun tries. In England, for instance, the cables told of declines of articles which figure most prominently in the cost of living, and the break of our cotton quotations teemed to find much of its insistence from an early decline at Liverpool, the market thers being affected by falling prices for ths Eevotian staple of the Alex andria market Clearly, the. world is moving toward a new basis for do ing business, but so long as wages at current levels and shortages of many necessaries exists it is impos sible to determine whether prices and operating costs in the industries will reach and stay at substantially lower levels. Liberty Bonds Stronger. Thers was a distinct check to the down ward movement of 7,lberty bonds, in fact, the market displayed a great deal of strength, which grew as the day ad vanced. Recoveries which reach upward of a full point and more In government war bonds, indicate considerable vigorous and confident buying. Furthermore, quota tions for several issues recorded gains of more than 3 points above Thursday's lowest prices. As no traces of treasury support were discernible, it appears as though a yield of 6 to 6 per cent on tho highest grade securities in the world brought a great volume of buying orders and among these individuals had a place, in banking opinion, not less prominent than Institutions. A contraction of about $8,000,000 In the turnover as compared with that of the day before Indicated slackened liquidation and It is possible that tins reflected less urgency among manufacturers for ready cash. Orders Issued by the Interstate Commerce commission .In respect to car movements, pointed toward a freer trans fer of grain, fuel and finished goods in the next few days, which should have a direct connection with the government bond market and the general credit situation. Stocks Inactive. Stocks occupied a less prominent place In market operations than the dav be fore. Certain groups, especially sugar and clothing issues, suffered rather severe brettks, these being due to causes hitched up with the spreading determination of the public to be conservative in purchases at present prices. But weakness was not general, and business lapsed into dullness comparable with those sluggish days of last week when traders were uncertain of the Immediate price trend. The Inter state Commerce commission supplied con structive Information for the rail Issues by undertaking the immediate apportion ment ol $125,000,000 from the revolving fund to be used to buy new eautDment. but this has evidently been discontinued In advance for the railway issues were not in active demand. They were firm, how ever, at the same time that the Industri al list recorded a highly Irregular ap pearance. Call mony continued at 7 per cent with an easement to 6 per cent when the larger demand had been filled. The KuroneAn Mchnnffp, nintr.it n,iln.t the American market, sterling gaining lc. Mark rates receded slightly, but at 2.36c each, they presented a front so much better than a month ago that the Impression was strengthened that Germany Is gradually gaining ground as a pro ducer of goods for export.

The Kansas wheat crop will reach 110,000,000 bushels if tho present conditions continue into the harvest. This estimate was mads yesterday by the secretary of tho state board of agriculture. This is an average yield of 14.6 bushels on the 7,603,888 acre age ot wheat remaining for the harvest Should the indicated yield be realized the crop would be the third largest in the history of the state, the productions of 1914 and 1919 only exceeding it, while the average annual production in the five-year period of 1915-19 amounted to 94,880,466 bushels. The report says In part: While prcspects In parts of the state are such as to win a high degree of optimism, the returns fully edited and reports that sug gested exaggeration were eliminated. Win ter wheat condition given at 83.4, a gain of 5 points in the last month. Oats con dition, 87.1; barley, 90.2. Estimated corn acreage 4,761,573 acres, or 13.7 more than last ear. Weather has been too cold and wet and corn generally backward, need ing sunshine, as do all crops. Chicago Tribune says: "Eastern rail roads are active in moving empty cars from tho east to the west. Solid trains of 76 box cars are being sent dally from New England. At Chicago they are to bo loaded with merchandise for the grain section and reloaded with! grain for ths return trip. When they return with grain they are to be reloaded with merchandise and sent out for reloading with grain for th return trip. This is the plan of the Interstate Commerce commission. Loading of grain ears in the. west with merchan dlsp for the east has been stopped, as the grain box cars are to be kept In the mov ing of grains as long as necessary. This is expected to 'Increase receipts of grains within a few days. Authoritative reports on the congestion here and at other points say it is being cleaned up. Omaha Hay Market.
