Price of Cereals
In Chicago Trade
By Joaeati F. Prluhard
Weakness developed in the swine trade again
during the day at North .PPortland; and quota
tion showed a. farther loss of 10 to 15c. with
the extreme top at 817.50.
Overnight there was a rather fair ran of
swine in the yards, and as killers have their im
mediate requirements already on hand, they are
not inclined to hold np values.

Old Crop Cotton
Has Heavy Tone
New York, May 3. (I. N. S I Cotton had
an irregular openmg today. July waa under
heavy pressure at the start and sold 4 7 points
below last night's close, but new crops were not
so weak, October being 15 points lower. The
reason - for relative new crop cteadinesa waa tbe
cool- weather in central and eaotern portion of
the belt. By the end of the first 20 minute
prices were steady with old crops 35 points
lower and new crops 15 to 17- Voints off.
The weskness increased aa tha declines un
covered stop loss orders, and soon after 8 o'clock
July contracts were selling at 24.05. or 100
points below Thursday's close. The close - was
steady at a net loss of S3 to 105 points.
