HEAVINESS III WHEAT RESULTS FROM REPORT OF SOME LIQUIDATIONS

CHICAGO. May 19. Heaviness in wheat prices resulted today from reports that representatives of the European entente nations had agreed to liquidate . their options , on American grain futures and to co-operate with the United States in a pooling system whereby exports from ' this country would be appcrtioncd with -due regard to domestic requirements. Word that the rushing of wheat and barley shipmerits overland from the Pacific coast j to be dispatched to Europe was being ' directed by the Federal government : tended also to erfse the market espec1 tally as it was said Australian wheat , would be brought in to make up the deficit. Business here in wheat was the smallest of the week, half a dozen , brokers on one edge of the pit being t all that was left of the 300 usually there. Opening wheat prices, which ' ranged from the same as yesterday's finish to 5c lower with July at $2.23 , and Sept. at $2.05. were followed by changes that made the setback general but less extreme and then by something of a recovery. Corn developed considerable , strength owing to scarcity erf sellers and to the fact that receipts were small. Ideal growth conditions for the crop failed to have any lasting bearish effect. After opening off to a like advance, the market rose all i around to well above yesterday's lat- , est figures. In oats the large export sales of late acted as a stimulus to buyers. Bel Bides, Northern Illinois and Indiana

! were sending in complaints of dry

y weather. ; Higher quotations on hogs lifted provisions. Pork led the advance.
