ALL WHEAT DECLINED
FINE GROWING AND SEEDING
WEATHER SENT MAY DOWN L z-sC.
Weakness I'm the Leading Cereal Ex-
ended to the Other Markets I'm
a Less Degrec.

CHICAGO, April 1--Fine growing and
seeding weather reported from the wheat
States, together with liberal liquidations,
caused another sharp decline in wheat to-
day. 1t opened and closed weak. May closed
at 631sc. CT 1%c below yesterday, and July
al SAC. or 1sc below yesterday. Corn. oats
and provisions were watery reproductions of
the weakness of wheat.
There was a good wheat trade. The feat
ure was the free selling OF May, liquida-
ton being quite pronounced. early in the
day several OF the larger commission houses
being active on the selling side. The May
July spread widened a little, being 1lsc to
nc. The influences at hand at the start
were a little bearish, cables coming weak,
Liverpool being off hQAi according to pub
lie advices, and Berlin AQ1A mark lower.
The weather was more favorable, fair and
cool conditions prevailing In the spring
wheat territory, with showers in the win
souri,. The predictions by the signal serv-
ice, too, were still better, fair and warmer
weather being indicated for the Dakotas and
Minnesota, with showers in Illinois and gen.
orally fair conditions elsewhere in the West.
The corn market was heavy and was SUBJ
jected to a good deal OF hammering by the
one or two heavy local traders, on the ex-
pectation that receipts are about to increase
considerable. May opened at 29Ac, or Ac
below yesterday sold at 294@29hc, and from
that down to 29llsc at the close.
Oats for May closed sake lower: May
opened unchanged at 1910, sold to 1890 and
ended with 1910 bid. Business was prin-
cipally in the way of exchanging from May
TO July early at 14c difference and later at
CSC spread. Hpa
There was absence of the strain which
for a week has been observed between the
longs and the shorts in pork. In fact, this
article was given second place in the trad
ing until near the close of the session when.
owing to the breaking grain prices, some
OF the scalpers were induced to sell pork
short. The decline in its price at the close
was only &c. Lard, compared with yester-
days price, is .O21kc lower for July and July
ribs suffered to an equal extent.
lima receipts for tomorrow are
Wheat, 70 cars; corn, 20 cars; oats, 10
cars; hogs, $1,000 head.
