GRAIN.
CHICAGO. May 20.—Wheat opened this
morning with a weaker tone and with
prices ranging from %c to %c lower.
Favorable weather, easy cables and larger
world’s shipments than usual, coupled
with encouraging crop advices, were the
influences. Free offerings and lack of
demand caused the market to turn very
weak, and prices sagged off 1c to I%’c
further on free offerings and lack of de
mand. There was a rather bearish
French crop report.
Corn was unchanged to %c and %c low
er on increased offerings, larger world’s
shipments than looked for and a big in
creased amount on ocean passage.
Oats were %c to %c lower on improved
crop conditions.
Provisions were lower all around on the
break in the price of hogs at the yards
and continued liquidation by longs

NEW YORK. May 18.—Although cables
were better than due, a favorable weath

the cotton market here today, when prices
were sto 13 points lower. Private weath

weather over Sunday. A notable feature
of the early trading was selling by Ala

bullish. After a while trading was not
active.

HAYWARD 4 CLARK'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, May 18.—The weath
er continues ideal for field operations.
The mao shows fair over the entire belt,
except partly cloudy over a small por
tion of Texas. No rain except a sprinkle
in Oklahoma City. There was a further
rise of 10 degrees in temperature in the
Western states, and north Texas and Ok
lahoma show a minimum of 62 to 66 de
grees. which is right. Night tempera
tures were somewhat low in the central
and Eastern states, but indications point
to rapid warming up over Sunday. In
dications generally are for fair and
warmer weather, except possibly increas
ing cloudiness in the western portion of
the belt, with no prospects, however, of
any rain of consequence.
Liverpool was disappointing, coming 1
to 2 points lower than due on futures,
and 1 point better on spots. The stock
of American cotton is 1.280.009. against
810.000 last vear. 'Die Bremen stock Is
589.000. against 196,000. The Havre stock
is 309.000. against 243,000. and the stock
afloat for Europe is 352.000, against 174,-
000 American cotton.
Our market lost about 14 points in the
early' trading. Fear of the power of the
billing interest in New' York is still a
prominent factor, inasmuch as it causes a
scarcitv of sellers. The market is narrow
4nd responds quickly either to buying or
selling. It broke further in the second
hour. October selling to 11.36 on weakness
in New York. Professional news from
there reports bull operators as rather dis
appointed at the poor response of the
market during the past few days. The
steadv decline in English consols during
this week is brought in connection with
recent news from London that the coun
ter is threatened with the possibility of
another coal strike. The announcement
in today’s press by the president of the
Freight’ Handlers union in Chicago that
a general strike throughout the country
win be ordered attracted attention. The
market next week depenUs principally on
the weather. • Warmer weather is a cer
tainty and should there be no disturbing
rains prices are likely to show further
concessions.

M CULLOUGH BROTHERS'
FRUIT AND PRODUCE LETTER
Egg receipts during the week stave been
excessive, which has resulted in some
depression in values. This condition, it
is believed, is only temporary, and that
the market next week will react both as
to demand and prices.
Both live and dressed poultry, espe
cially hens, ducks, geese and turkeys, in
excessive supply, which will result in the
accumulations now in the market having
to be sacrificed in order to move it Live
fries of good size selling readily at pa
ing prices
A fair demand prevails for fancy table
butter. The market is overstocked with
cooking butter, at lower values.
There is no change applying to old Irish
potatoes. The new crop has been plenti
ful for several days, at lower values, but
the market is now cleaning up, with bet
ter prospects for the next few days.
Uabbage plentiful and selling at low
prices, the home truckers more than meet
ing the requirements at very low prices
A good demand prevails for fancy toma
toes, round green beans, egg plant, cel
ery, yellow squash" and new corn.
There is also ». good demand for new
peaches and cantaloupes.
The banana market is very strong and
high, witli indications of further advances.
Oranges and apples also scarce and
high
The lemon market is weak, with tHe
demand limited owing to the unfavorable
weather.

CHICAGO May 18. —Wheat opened %c
higher this morning with a strong tone
The Ala.'’ option was at 113%. Early
trade was light. The principal strength
ening influences were a steady tone to
cables and a moderately bullish tone in
Liverpool to absence of pressure on Ar
gentine cargoes and expected smaller
world s shipments for Monday.
Corn was ’» to %c lower on increased
offerings in the pit and favorable weather
for seeding. Trade was small.
Oats were % to %c lower, mainly in
sympathy with other grains.
Provisions were 2% to 10c lower along
with hogs, which lost 5c at the yards.
There was a firmer undertone in the
wheat market today with final prices
ranging from % to %c higher. The vol
ume of trade was the smallest, for the
week. The trade was almost entirely pro
fessional. The market eased off a little
from best prices toward thq close on good
selling by commission houses.
t,'orn closed weak and lower with final
prices ranging from unchanged to
%c off Weather favorable for rushing
farm work was the main factor.
Oats closed unchanged to %@%c lower
The same influences prevailed as in corn
Provisions were lower all around Lar
ger receipts than expected caused some
selling by longs, especially in pork. There
was also scattered selling of ribs. Lard
was also on tap.
