GENERAL SELLING
CAUSED DECLINE
"War Stocks" Suffered Most.
Mishap to Nebrnsknn Re
tiporisible. tfEVi YOnK, May 29 -Coming ns- It
(lid, when the market tvn already in n
very rierotn Atnto because of the forelKtt
eltuAtlon, the mishap to th American
teamcr Nebrnsknn oft the Irlah coast
wa responsible for a general selling
movement after the opening, In the early
Pealing price changes were unimport
ant, but as the day advanced substan
tial looses wet-o made throughout the list,
wllh the "war stocks" suffering the most.
There was considerable uncertainty as
to the cause of the accident to the Amer
ican vessel. First reports had It that she
had been torpedoed, but later It was re
ported that Ihe ship had cither been tor
pedoed or had struck a mine and was
proceeding back to Llxorpool. This
checked the selling movement somewhat,
but not fo rlong, nnd toward noon tho
pressure tb sell became greater, as It was
realized that tho nccldcnt to tho vessel
would make tho foreign situation een
rnore acute. Then, too, tho State Depart
ment gave out an official report from the
United Stales Consul at London that tho
Nobrasktih had been torpedoed and fresh
selling followed Immediately The Street
argued that tho Incident wns the most
eerioua from an American point of view
since tho outbreak of the conflict abroad
Business was much larger than for
some days past, sales during tho first
hour being at tho rate of a million for
the five-hour session, or about "0.000
shares below tho total sales for the entire
session yesterday. At noon prices were
off on the n erase of 2'4 points nil
around. Although tho "war slocks" were
the hardest hit, tho standard shares also
showed substantial losses. Steel common,
for Instance, being down a full point,
while ncadlng was ofT 1H. as wan Union
Pacllld, nnd Canadian Taclflo dropped 2VS
Excltemt-nt was entirely nbsent nnd tho
liquidation was very orderly. Some de
gree of flrmnetfl was shown during tho
noon hour, nnd prices recovered some
what from tho low, but It was not of a
lasting quality, and tho late afternoon
found prices down ngaln The principal
prcssuro continued to bo exerted against
thp "war stocks."
Trading fell oft to small proportions be
fore the cloio and prices ended tho da
Irregular, tho largo majority, however,
being under the final of yesterday. Inter
borough Metropolitan Issues were strong,
the common showing a gain of 1 nnd the
preferred 2V About tho weakest lssuo wns

Mny Tumbled Jloro Thnn Six
Cents Heavy Rains Report
ed in tho West.
CHICAGO, May 26-Con8lderablo rrtln
In tho West nnd no Improvement In the
foreign buying put a decided damper
on tho wheat market today. May
wheat nagged oft Uc. nt tho open
ing figure, Belling at Jl.tMi, nnd later
dropped to $1.5114. July wheat, whlto It
opened high at ILSOU, showed nlgna of n
gradual decline It wns selling for J1.2"'a
with no prospects of recovering, Just be
foro noon. In tho last hour tho dccllno
In May extended to moro than 6 cents,
whllo tho others lost 2 or moro. Sudden
unloading by farmers In face of tho new
crop was given as tho cause.
In tho ilnnl dealings May rallied slight
ly, whllo July extended Its loss to J1.26H.
Mny closed nt $1.2911, off 6Vi cents.
Following good ratns tho United King
dom reports Its crops doing well. Whlto
tho ncreago Is not up to oxpoctatlonB her
stocks of wheat nro steadily Increasing
Tho crop outlook for Franco Is satis
factory, but ncreago shows n material
decreoee Tho Government hns requi
sitioned nil wheat, both tho old supplies
nnd tho growing crop.
Greece reports n promised yield much
In excess of last j cnr. Special attention
has been given to cultivation. Seeding
for the new crop In India Is being de
layed owing to excess! vo hent nnd un
welcome dryness, Italy Is maintaining
Its wheat harvest with tho utmost enre.
German nd vices report gieatly In
creased ncreago for both winter nnd
spring crops. The Government has com
mandeered nil growing crops.
Chicago wheat traders are growing
moro npprehonshe of crop damage nnd
less disposed to etanJ any loss on tho
bear sldo.
Tho crop situation Is fast reaching tho
critical stago and reports aro being
watched with increased interest. Authori
ties say that Hessian fly damage) is small
compared with other conditions. Tho
main factor Is that tho actual condition
of tho crop has nover been right and
that It has failed to Btool properly.
Uxport sales of grain nt tho seaboard
wore 300,000 buihets ot wheat, 12,000 bush
els ot oats and 16,000 bushels of rye. Lato
cables leport that the Ungllsh Govern
