Charnber OF Commerce.

Wheat was weak in the morning and
fell little under Saturdays prices. al
though rallying later, with more or less
of subsequent SteadineSS, as shown in
the 2tabular statement. There was a
diSpoSitIen.in the morning to suppose
the clique i'll Chicago May wheat Is
going out of the May and INTO July, as
giving longer time to work out of its
dilemma. The. talk was that it would
be troublesome for them to escape
heavy loss, as the bulk of the
May wheat was bought too far above
current values. 1t was not held that
the deal would be dropped yet, although
it promises serious loss. Enough
storage will be cleared out. it is expect
ed, to receive all the wheat that may be
forwarded to apply on May sales. If
the growing crops damage badly, that
might reduce the loss that promises to
be heavy, in almost any event. There
was little encouragement from cables,
which we're Ill some instances called
lower than Saturday, and the visible
was expected to be small decrease, If
any.
