Today's

Wheat Market Lags Despite disposition to Rally at First i CHICAGO. May :. Although wheat prices showed a temporary disposition today to rally from the declines which resulted from false rumors of a naval victory, the market toon began to sag. Restrictions on new buying proved too much of a handicap for any strength due to a merely negative development. The excellent crop outlook wai more than an offset. Open prices, which ranged from ic lower to lc advance with July at $2.23 and Sept. at $1.93, was followed by a slight further hardening of values, and then a set back all around to well below yesterday's finish. Bullish constuotions placed on the Kansas state crop report gave only transient strength to corn. Demand seemed to be confined to shorts. After opening off to M up, the market ncored moderate general gains, and then made a sharp descent. Oats duplicated the action of corn. Speculators were mostly on the selling side. Lower quotations on hogs weakened provisions. The market had no aggressive support. GRAIN QUOTATIONS CHICAGO, May 25 The range of futures on the Chicago Board ol Trade follows: ' ' Wheat Open. High.
