Chicago, April 9.-The condition of
winter wheat in Ohio. according to the
April State crop report, is y per cent
against 81 in March. This means a
storage in the yield, compared with an
average of $4,000 bushels 1t is posi-
BILE for future Improvements to be
made before harvest. OF the 1897 crop,
II per cent is still in farmers hands
Snow, in his weekly crop report, says
the week has delayed farm work and
plant growth, but did no harm that
cannot be regained by warm weather.
The general sentiment among the few
traders who took enough interest in
the market to do any business was
bearish and the tenor of various State
crop reports was Of favorable char
acter and induced short selling and
some liquidation. Advices from New
York to the effect that foreigners were
good buyers against recent liberal ac-
ceptances of offers from this side, how
ever. resulted in a little hardening of
the market for time, but subse-
quently prices eased off again. there
being no influential or sustained sup
port given. Northwest receipts were
small. aggregating III cars against
299 a week ago and 284 a year ago.
Chicago receipts amounted to 10 cars,
and the addition to contract stocks to-
day amounted to about practically
stagnant. and as the session progressed
news was very scant and hardly wor-
thy of PRONUNCIATION. The weekly ex-
ports Of wheat for both coasts
amounted to 3.71S,000 bushels against
3,550,0O0 last week and 2,036 900 the
same week last year. Corn was weak
on fair sized transactions Belief that
the short interest was nearly elimin-
ated during yesterdays neavy buying
movement was apparently the factor.
Oats were dull. The decline in corn
caused an easier feeling and the light
offerings were disposed of with some
difficulty. Provisions were helped by
firm hog prices. Trade was light and
in scattered lots.
