WHEAT AND CORN CLOSED
DCWN-0ATS UNCHANGED.
RAIN CAME TO RELIEF OF
BEARS EARLY IN SESSION.
st. Louis Crowd Were Heavy Sell.
ers in Chicago Wheat Pit
Provisions Weaker.

Chica go, April was sharp and
irregular action in the grain pits to-day.
Dry weather reports were strengthening in
fiucnces early, but rain came TO the relief
Of the bears and prices were forced down.
May wheat closed 1saaic lower. May corn
1hc down and May oats unchanged. Provi-
sions lost 2i2u5c to l5c.
Wheat.
Conditions in wheat favored better prices
at the opening. Gables We're strong at COOL
advances. and dry weather reports con-
tinued to come from the suffering South
ScStein wheat country. Rains were reported
in Oklahoma and Kansas, but mail adyiceS
generally stated that the recent rains were
not sufficient and that much Of the standing
grain would have to be plowed up. 1nfiuen-
tial interests were buying early. after a mo-
mentary reaction. and prices for some time
held strong.
Near the noon hour a selling movement
was started on reports of rain in Iowa.
where there has been much misgiying of
late.
Some OF the st. Louis crowd were heavy
sellers. as were commission houses. The
corn collapse was Il strong bearish factor.
and though the outsider was buying literally
the day closed with much lower prices.
May wheat started a shade to isn4c up. at
74c to 7ilsc. sold at 1899 and then worked up
to 1850. On the decline May sold at 73lsD
7Sllc, closing SsT3.c lower. at 13hc. Local
receipts were 4S cars. one of contract grade.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported 96 ears.
making a total for the three points of IA
cas-. against 81 last week ana 23 cars a
year ago. Primary receipts were $4,000 bu..
compared to $1,000 bu. last year. Seaboard
clearances in wheat and -four equaled 6l1.-
coo bu. The seaboard reported exporters idle
and cash grain business neglected because of
the English duties.
Corn.
Liquidation In corn ruled to-day. Early
influences of cables and wheat trade Were
bullish and helped corn for a time. The
pit. however; was very nervous and after
some fairly heavy buying early. bears be-
gan to pound the market to force longs to
let go. AT top prices long corn came out
but the holders did not press the stuff in
tudiciously on a weakening market. St.
Louis. which was firm early. eased off and
this market declined steadily. Trade at
times had dull spots. The last hours ac-
ton, however. was spirited and of a very
depressing nature. The wheat decline was
a beaTish factor.
May corn slid off from 63lsc to s1ssc and
had only a Slight rally at the end, closing
1kc lower, at 61%c. Receipts were very
light at "a cars. Some traders were of the
opinion that leading bulls We're hammering
the market in order to get a better load
at low prices.
Oats were quiet and were traded in on a
moderate scale. though fluctuations were
erratic. Corn was the leading influence.
There was still some confusion over the
new grading of standard oats. The new
oats held their premium of 1S4c for July and
1Ssc for Sept. May fuctuated between 427sc
and 49hc and closed steady. unchanged at
43c- Receipts were again light. at "a cars.
