GRAIN- WHEAT — On the idea that crop conditions In the Western belt were not so bad as bulls were willing to have, the trade believe on Tuesday, the wheat market broke a cent per bushel to-day and closed a little shove th» lowest point. Efforts were. made to work up a little bull enthusiasm over com plaints of too much rain In Southern Kansas and Missouri, a* well as in parts of the Northwest, but he mood of traders was more bearish in view of the fact that short transactions were pretty well reduced on Tuesday, leaving the market supplied with a rather liberal long account. Not only did domestic crop news have a. better trend, but more favorable reports ere also received from the Danube districts, where good rains have fallen, and from France. Germany an.l the Argentine The Liverpool market was af fected by these satisfactory foreign reports and made practically rio response to the advance on this side Tuepday. closing but i» 'a \ d net higher. In the way of statistics conditions were pretty well balanced, as while Northwest receipts were light and the Minne apolis stock lost 300.000 bush In th« last four days, the world's visible supply reduction as reported by Pradstreet's. was only 2.303.000 bush, compared with a decrease last year of fi.2R."i,000 bush. Seaboard clearances were much larger, acerbating 545,000 bush of wheat and flour. As a part of the bearish gossip from St Louis It was pointed out that In the last nine days that market has received 499.000 bush of wheat, compared with 122.000 bush In the corre sponding time last year. The export business con sisted of six loads In New York cash wheat was rather easy, closing or. the basis of $1 04 for No 2 red In elevator and $1 01*; fob afloat; No 1 North ern Duluth. $1 19. and No 2 hard winter, $1 12H fob afloat. CORN — The bull leaders maintained their grip on May corn at Chicago, which sold at Sic. thereby establishing a new high record. In sympathy, the July contract advanced Sc and September a similar amount, followed near the close by a sharp reaction, which left these positions practically unchanged from the previous night, while May closed li»c net higher. The outstanding short Interest in May was believed to be large enough to make possible almost any price, for that delivery, although It was thought probable that the bull leaders would not attempt to bring about any sensationally high figures There was a fair movement nt Chicago and predictions for large ar rivals on Thursday, but It seemed to make no Im pression on May. which ruled strong all day up to th» last few minutes. At all interior points the ar rivals Mere 2fiO.flO<l bUFh ahead of last year. Reports of large settlements by shorts were current, but could rot b« confirmed. As a result of more, favorable weather It was said that planting was quite, general in Illinois, and active farm work was In progress Hsewh»r«>.

Chicago May 27.— The grain markets on the local exchange' were Irregular to-day, the May delivery being strong and more distant options weak.

Pro visions were 2ijc higher. The wheat market opened weak, because of the failure of European markets to respond to yester day's advance here. Shorts In th. May delivery took advantage of the small decline, and began to cover freely which caused th« price of that option to advance from $1 04 to $1 06 within the first fifteen minute?. Other deliveries, however, were affected but slightly during the first half of the day by the strength of May. Later the market became strong, because of the bulge In com for May.

A forecast of more rain in the corn belt was re sponsible for the strength. The market closed strong. July opened Vie and %c to l ie and He lower, at 6Sc to 68»*c. sold off to 67» 4 c. and then ad vanced to 69c and CH-jc The close was at to\n and 68^»c.
