breaking badly after the goiernment report was is
sued at 2 o'clock. Tte local close was lHgl^ .over
than Saturday, and Chicago I^-1 7 »c lower, although
the latter market rallied slightly in the last few
oinotes. Th» figures ob farm reserves were distinctly
unfavorable to hull leaders, as the total figures on
wheat. 143.692.000 bushels, or 21. » per cent of we
crop, ■ ere on y 5.000.000 less than last year, *}>***
some, of the recent ill talk has bf-en less tr.an 100,
000.000. Th- recent enow estimate was 1^3.<.w)0.000.
and a Kansas City authority mated l4».000.0i«n.
The report started a jot of step loss selling, and al
though the market had previously sustained quite, a
ehsrp decline under bear pressure, It tumbled, badly
after the figures were issued. May in Chicago dropping
to $1 131-. and in New York to $1 is 1 *, or s@6c down
from the. season's high point. Apparently the bull
leaders made 5) attempt to hold the market In tno
last fifteen minutes, and many thought that in x-iew
of th* larger supplies than expected It would be dim
cuit to sustain the market up around recent - els, as
the bear operations on every bulge would be likely to
represent much greater aggressiveness than when the
question of farm holdings was confined to private esti
mates. The reserves last year were 145.721.000 busnels
and in 1907 206.644.004 bushels, or the heaviest total
in the las? seven years. Ojtsido of the crop report
there was little to interest trading eentiment one way
or the other. Th« cables were strong and exerted an
influence at the opening, while the rain is Texas
brought out some sailing of July. The greatest
strength abroad was on the Continent, where Benin
was quoted l : -c higher and Budapest l jc up. while
Liverpool closed H@H>i net higher. BroomhaU re
ported world's shipments to be slightly under the- pre
x-lous week, ana figured the total amount afloat to be
only about 500,000 bushels smaller ihan a year ago.
Thij total domestic and Canadian visible decreased
1.773,000 bushels, compared with a decrease last year
of 1.544.000 bushels. Primary receipts were 833.000
bushels, compared with 242.000 bushels last year. No
export business was reported, and the ioca! cash mar
ket closed weak, as follows: No 2 red. $120 '* eleva
tor and $121-,. fob afloat: No 1 Northern Duluth.
$123%, and No 2 hard winter. $121% *t o b afloat.
CORN — l"p to the time of the government report th«
core market showed a good deal more strength than
wheat, advancing 1c a bushel here anil %c in Chicago
on May. owing to more rain in ' ie West, an advance of
%®ld at Liverpool, and .• belief that the government
report would be bullish. The reverse whs true, how
ever, as the figures indicated a farm reserve of 1,047.
000.000 bushels, or 3P " per cent of the crop, compared
with 82 129.000 bushels last year. Prices immediately
collapsed, ad after breaking I®lHc from the early
high point closed rather weak at Sj^Vc loss in Chi
cago and US'ic net decline here. The late weakness
was also helped by larger country offeiMr.js and '.Krger
carlot estimates for Tuesday. The visible supply in
creased SOS. OOO bushels Total Western arrivals for
the day were 1,062.000 bushels, compared with 700.0 n f>
bushels a year ago. No 2 corn locally was quoted

and No 2 yellow, 71c fob all it OATS — This mar
