ON HEAVY LIQUIDATION.
REACTION FOLLOWS COVER
ING BY SHORTS.
Weather and Crop Conditions
Combined With Car Shortage
Have Depressing Effect.

Wheat opened well. but. under heavy SELL
Ing pressure later in the session. and all
of the grain of the previous day was wiped
out. The early buying was for shorts who
failed to cover Wednesday. After that
protit-taking was the order OF the day and
offerings were free. Local receipts were
again heavy. but the movement to other
primary points was not brisk. Liverpool
and other foreign markets closed easy.
Prospects Of continued moderate tempera-
ture and favorable crop growth reports
helped the general selling movement.
