Chicago, May 20.—Sllglit Interrap-
tions of the. drought and heat ^ve a
bearish tinge to the wheat market
today. Pronpect of heavy world ship
ments ha-d a similar effect. Prices how
ever, were steadied by an unfavoraMe
official report as to the crop ontlook
in Prussia where the improvement in
eonditioa was said to be very small
indeed. Opening figures were the same
as last night to l-4a3-8 lower. July
started at 88 l-8al-4 and dragged at
the under level.
The corn market ^Lsed off on ac
count of showers and the relative cool
ness prevailing. *Pit traders did most
of the selling. July opened unchanged
to 1-8 off to 52 1-8 to 1-4 and declined
to 52al-8.
Sentiment regarding oats Inclined
to the bull side but was more than
counteracted by the bearish feeling as
to other grain. July started at last
night's figures to 1-8 below and seemed
inclined to keep within that range.
ProMisions weakened with hogs.
There was little demand. iHrst sales
were unchanged to 5 down with July
delivery 14.60 for pork; 8.08 1-2“ for
lard and 7.7pa77 1-2 for ribs.

These events are the supreme court
decision in the Standard Oil case, and
the prospects of the restoration of
peace in Mexico. For the first time
in many weeks the reports from the
leading trade centers were buoyant in
tone, though it would not appear
that the actual gain in volume of
transactions has been much if any.
The export movement of cotton
goods continues all altead of last year
and more active buying of printed
fabrics has followed the large pur
chases of print fcToths a week ago.
A better feeling pervades the en

New Orleans, May 20.—Yesterday,
for the first time in this calendar year,
and for the first time since the move
ment of the last crop became heavy,
the visible supply of American cotton
went below last year’s low record, the
figures being 2,045,991 bales against
2,054,641 a year ago.
This shrinkage of the visible sup
ply of American cotton to below the
semi-famine levels of the supply a
year ago has been predicted many
times in the last few months by bull
leaders lik^ Frank B. Hayne and W.
P. Brown, but was not thought pos
sible by leaders on the' short side of
the cotton market, who were impresS’-
ed with the general curtailment among
the mills of the country, leading
bulls yesterday explained the statist!
cal position by stating that great as
the curtailment may have been in this
country, it has not been great enough
to meet the small supplies of' cotton
left and that, to no small extent, the
curtailment in this country has been
offset by the record-breaking consump
tion of cotton In England where, ac
cording to private cable messages
from Liverpool and Manchester, mills
are running full time and have orders
ahead that will keep them on that
time, if supplies of cotton permit, until
next December. \
Yesterday’s week-end statistics caus
ed mbre than the usual amount of gos
sip in the local market.
It was pointed out that while the
season started off with a smiUler
visible supply than last season, the
larger crop raised this season comparr
ed vith two seasons ago, soon piled up
a comparatively' large visible and after
a while made^t materially larger than
the visible comparisons of a year ago.
l^en it wa§ that the bear side claimed
there would bef enough cotton to go
around, e^eclAly with the curtail
ment ^reateaed. The bulls claimed,
however, that long before the first of
September this year, the visible
would be-below the visible of a year
ago and their predictions came true.
They now claim that the viaible supply
on the first of next September will be
the smallest since the civil war.
Weather Conditions.
Local rains have occurred in the
past 24 hours in the southeastern
states and general rains in the middle
Missiffiippi valley. These rains are
the r^ult of a trough of low pressure
extending this morning from eastern
Texas to Minnesota, with centers
over Minnesota and northern Texas.
Temperature changes in the Atlan
tic states are .unimportant but fton|
the Mississippi' valley westward it is;
considerably cooler. This cooler
weather is being caused * by an ex
tensive highpressure area which cov
ers the western states.
Temperatures yesterday were high
over the interior ;and the eastern
sections. Abilene, Texas, reports 9S
degrees, and Washington, 98.
The indications are for prevailing
fair weather except local thunder
showers tonight or Sunday,
