1t was reported that the exchange room
crowds on the various grain boards of the
country were selling wheat yesterday, be-
lleVing the back of the bulge to be broken.
The early decline was about l2c here and
elsewhere. Kansas reports of the winter
wheat condition were favorable for good
yield unless some new damage succeeds
the present good outlook. Cables quoted
spot wheat &c lower in Liverpool, and
futures Ac lower than yesterday. Receipts
III Minneapolis were larger and led some to-
feel suspicion that, the cold wave having
subsidized the old-time movement might again
ensue. The Cincinnati Price Current said
winter wheat returns show high average con-
dition and increased area, with old stocks
nearly exhausted of the surplus. and the sec
rotary of the Kansas board said there
had been more moisture there than
usual. Reports of wheat condition are
favorable, with damage by Hessian fly early
in some places. There were some reports of
damage by the late frost that were alarming
to shorts, and they covered in the middle of
the session. There was considerable talk Of
July wheat and it advanced 1c quickly, due,
it was said, TO buying by Hutchinson in Chi
cago, and May sympathiZed in the rise.

second patent, S36C@425 for fancy and
export bakers, 81 S0G2 10 for low grades in
bags including red dog. Flour continued
dull, though the slowness with which wheat
prices yielded to expected large reactions was
cause of some encouragement with flour
buyers that neglected to buy more literally
when -four was some 30c barrel lower. If
wheat stays up through this week there
would be small prospect OF cheaper flour.
