strength in wheat at the opening as a result
of firmness at Liverpool account of reported

factor was the news from California repeating
Yesterdays expression of apprehension con-
cerning the winter plant in that State. May
opened h0Ac higher at 727s67212c and touched
73hc but then started to sag. May soon de-
clfned to 72c When some outside buying or
ders came on the market however, it caused
an undercurrent of apprehension concerning
the winter wheat condition among short sellers,
and IN an endeavor to buy back the wheat sold
earlier the price quickly regained the NC from
the opening decline Atlantic port clearances
were comparatively small. wheat and -four
amounting to only 370,0 900 bushels increase for
the week whereas a decrease of 1,500 900 BUSH
els had been expected. This gave the bears the
leverage they needed and the market Wig
orously attacked. May wheat declined TO 715sc
closing at 719s671Ac, a loss of 2G&sc
Corn showed moderate strength early but
declined with wheat closing shade lower
