CHICAGO, H.. April 20.-Wheat-
Weather map showed favorable con.
ditions in all directions. We see
nothing to change our opinion and
look for lower prices The cash
wheat situation is weak. Flour trade
is at a standstill and growing crops
are coming forward rapidly under
favorable conditions. Do not get short
wheat on breaks. The big fellows
will force a good many bulges. Sell
on the hard spots.
Weather conditions favorable
for farm work which with lower
prices have shut off offerings. Light
receipts should be helpful infiu-
ence. Enormous stocks at this mar.
ket which nobody appears to want
very much will continue to be de-
pressing influence. We look for a
soft market in the May delivery
which will be reflected in the July
and September We believe Septem-
Der is a good purchase on soft spots.
Oats-Will doubtless reflect the
action of the other markets which are
likely to be weak Generally speak
ing we feel that oats are in good
position and would buy them on soft
spots.
