CHICAGO, April S.-Trading in the
wheat pit early in the session today was
quiet and the market held steady at about
yesterdays closing level. The inactivity
was due chiefly to the desire of many
traders to await the publication later IN
the day of the government report before
opening new trades. News Of the day
was generally bearish. cables being lower.
Australian shipments for the week being
liberal and crop reports more favorable
At the start prices were Is higher to

while September rose to 1.02ss. Follow
ing little show Of strength during the
first few minutes of the session, the
corn market became rather weak, ow-
ing to renewed liquidation. Shorts were

Oats were quite firm at the start. but
eased off in sympathy with the heavi-
ness Of corn. The May delivery opened
a shade higher to shade lower at 41s
to 41A, and instead of following the
more distant futures in their decline
advanced to AZ.
Provisions were steady early In the
day and trading was of light volume. A

buying. Prices at the opening were 10

The turbulence OF the night came as
an unwelcome shock to the hopes or
the authorities that Sunday was To

hope had been fostered By the days
pacific aspect. which in itself had been
