Speculative wheat markets show a de-
clded decline for the week. The Drin-
c1pal factor in the market has been the
improved crop conditions prevailing.
Heavy rains have fallen over the en-
tire wheat and corn area during the pa st
week, and all growing crops are making
favorable progress. The rains have
been so general and copious that V lille
they have not made up the average de-
fclencies since Jan. 1, they have put the
soil in about a normal condition in re-
gard to moisture, at this time of gear.
There is no further danger of injury by
