bury building, Los Angeles.
CHICAGO, April 22.-Juy wheat closed 4c
under last prices of yesterday. There was sell
ing pressure from first to last although the
market had good rally at two or three different
times Weak and lower Liverpool cables
based on estimated shipments from Argentine
and Australia not only were larger than ex-
pected but larger than last year, caused bear
sh feeling before the market opened On
each sharp decline much wheat came on the
market as a result Of stoploss orders There
is no doubt that important sales were made
whenever the market would take them from
the lines OF the recognized bull leaders in TINS
market So much wheat could not come from
any other source is the opinion of pit traders.
Bright weather here and improved conditions
over winter wheat belt as well as over Europe
added to the bearishness for the day He-
ceipts continue small in all quarters. Adverse
crop reports continue from our own representa-
tive and others in the south. These innuencs
are rot sufficient TO stem the big mood OIL wheat
which comes on the market at each fresh de-
cline, Conservative persons think there Is
merit in the market around these levels some
where and surely there is no promise or safety
for short sellers on a break OF this kind. 1t Is
a market in which the swings are great for
the present and the rebound may be as prompt
as the unusual break Of today
Everything considered corn prices have heio
remarkably firm. What loss there was in corn
futures today was traceable to the break In
wheat entirely. Receipts running less than 60
cars a day Stocks of corn here largely sold
and will decrease fast. Unless the country fur-
nisheS much larger supplies no important urea"
can take place.
In the oats list May showed the best strength
for the day Strong people have the May
oats bought and If there is any important
short interest an upturn might easily take
place -
After making fairly good advance of to 1oc
all around this morning hog product weakened
with grain and closed at unimportant declines
from Wednesdays prices The conditions sug-
gest safety In resting orders to buy product at
a little under the market 1t is said.

NEW YORK, April 22.-Cotton was easier to-
day in spite of vigorous efforts on the part or
bulls to prevent any decline. Liverpool was
bid up sharply and several very bullish caoies
were received stating Manchester was better
with an improved demand for yarns and
cloths. The break in the wheat market had a
good deal to do with unsettled sentiment in
cotton. Western plungers who have made
money in wheat have gone heavily long of
cotton and some of these were sellers today. A
few slight showers fell in Texas and the fore
cast calls for more tonight or tomorrow me
crop prospects elsewhere are good
