While cables were rather Indifferent to the
big advance here yesterday, a more potent fac
tor in causing lower prices in the wheat pit was
the decline in values In the Northwest. The sit
uation remained about the same for the past
few days. but local traders who bought yesterday
were inclined TO secure profits. and, although the
market supported by some of the big inter-
ests, declining tendency was noticeable. The
weather decidedly favorable, but receipts
in the Northwest continued small. Trading was
principally in the May delivery. and that month

ported receipts of $40 cars. against sz4 cars last
week and 1880 cars a year ago.
Corn ruled easier, with wheat. The main fea-
ture in trading was the liquidation by those who
had bought yesterday. The weather map was
favorable Tor the movement, and. though re-
cepts were small, the general belief prevailed
that arrivals soon would be materially increased.
After selling between 43lsc and 43asc december

In the absence of support from the leading
longs bulsh enthusiasm disappeared from the

The weakness accumulated by pront-taking
by local holders. Receipts were smaller tnan
expected, and the cash situation showed con-
