WHEAT RALLIED A CENT
EARLY DEAR MOVEMENT OVERCOME
ON DROUGHT COMPLAINTS.
Bulls Considered May FIXTURE a Good
Purchase Under 71c-COrn, ats
and Provisions Weak.

CHICAGO, April pa heavy export
trade and drought complaints to-day caused
a rally of 1c in wheat from the lowest point
of an early decline. July closed a shade
higher and May 1xc lower. Corn and oats
both closed a shade lower. Pork. lard and
ribs each declined 21ac.
Warm weather and plenty Of rain put
wheat dealers in a bearish mood at the
opening to-day. Long wheat came out free
ly, and, helped by a vigorous pounding by
the bears, the market sagged steadily dur
ing the first two hours The bears were
o~verconfident, however, and on complaints
of drought in Nebraska and reports of large
export sales were driven to cover. The May
option had less recuperative power than
July, and the premium for the latter
widened to over 1c. May opened 1sQAc
lower, at 71kd71%c. declined to 7OAzc. adj
vanced to 1Ac and reached TO nAc at the
close. July started a shade lower, at 72Q
724c. sold off to 115c. advanced to 72Ssc and
closed at 72AG722sc. Chicago received forty
five cars, eleven of which graded contract.
Minneapolis and Duluth got 2s2 cars. COM
pared with Dos the same day a year ago.

gated $4,000 bushels, against 5O6,OW bushels
last year. Atlantic port c~learances of wheat

seaboard reported 40 boatloads sold for ex-

Fine weather was against corn at the
start, but heavy buying of May by shippers
and elevator concerns steadied the market
Receipts, 100 cars. May opened 1sc over,
at 34q341Sc, declined TO 33asQ33Ac, rose to
34Ac and eased off to 341sc at the close.
Oats were weak early on perfect seeding
weather, but heavy purchases by shippers
against cash sales checked the downward
tendency. Receipts. 14 cars. May opened
haAc lower, at 262sc, sold of 10 SAc, ad-
vanced TO 265sc and closed at 26l2c.
Provisions ruled easier, with the princi-

into July and September, May pork opened
