GENERAL SELLING
 IN WHEAT MARKET
Severe Declines Follow Reports
 of Rains in Southwest
DEMAND IS VERY LIGHT
Iiauidation Is Feature of Trading in Corn and Prices Consequently Lower-Oats and Provis-
 ions Also Decline

Chicago, April 2.--Rain in many sections Of the southwest brought out general selling of wheat today which resulted in severe declines, closing quotations show ing net losses of 5sqs4c to 13s@1hc Coarse grain and provisions also slumped sharply and closed near the lowest point of the day
 The wheat market opened weak and gained additional weakness as trading progressed until at the low point prices for the new crop months were about 112c below yesterdays closing figures. Open ing declines ranged from Ac to 7sG1e, the latter being the loss on the September op- ton. Covering by shorts held the market fairly steady during the first hour, but after that there was a gradual recession in prices.
 Reports of rain in Kansas and other see- tions Of the winter wheat belt and an of fcial prediction of additional showers in the southwest for tonight and tomorrow Demani was lacking in the final half of the day owing to the indisposition of many traders to take on new lines over Sunday
 The range for the September delivery was between $1 .0Sa4Q1 .O4s. July sold be- tween s1 .O67s@1. .O7 and s1 .O77s. The close was almost at the lowest point, Septem- Der being at $1 037s and July at s1.07
 Liquidation was the feature of trading in the corn pit and prices declined stead- fly all day. Leading bears also ham mered the market from start to finish and shorts were the principal buyers. Weak ness of wheat, almost totally owing to shipping demand for the cash grain, and the favorable weather condition for farm work, were the main factors in the situa- ton. Cash corn declined 4a1c, No. 3 yellow selling at 59d591sc. The May deiv- cry ranged between 605sc and 611zc. The market closed weak, with prices off hG1c to 1c below yesterdays final figures May being at 609sd6OAc.
 Oats were weak all day in sympathy with the heaviness of the other grain. Re- ports telling of a large acreage seeded to oats and of the ideal conditions pre- vailing for tho new crop were also infiu- ential factors in causing the selling press ure which was in evidence all day The market closed weak with prices down sc to 1ad55sc.
 Despite bullish statistics on live hogs the provisions market slumped severely owing to pfoht-taking by leading holders. New Investment demand was lacking. the cnly support coming apparently from shorts. At the low point of the day prices were 1214@15c to 521ac below final figures of the previous session. Pork was the weakest on the list the May delivery de- elining from s25. 50 to $25 .071s. May lard sold off from s13.70 to s13.55 and ribs from $l3.571a to s13. 4212. The close was weak, with May pork at s1510. May lard closed at $l3.55 and ribs at s13.45
 Future quotations were as follnws.

New Orleans Weekly Review

New Orleans April 2-Cotton futures were in hands of the bears this week from Wednesday on. Rains in Texas. where there had been little precipitation for weeks past, turned the control over to the short side. At the middle of the week the old crop months stood 19 to 20 points over last weeks closing, while the new crops stood B to 3S points up From this level there was steady decline un- til on the close the more active months, h0th old and new crops were 26 to S6 roints under last week.
 The bear side was aided in its opera tions not & little by reports that settle. ment had been reached in the May deal
 in the New York market. This rumor was strenuously denied by leading bulls, but it caused considerable selling right up to the week end. Another bearish factor was the reported widespread cur teilment of output on the part of the American cotton mills As a sort of bal ance to the trade depression on this side of the water however, was the con tinued satisfactory showing of the Man chester market, where good business was being done in cloths and yarns, and emphasizing this business was the weeks sales of spot cotton in the Liverpool mar ket of 61, ,OO0 bales, against 54,o00 this week fast year and 45,0O0 this week two years ago.
 Up to the middle of the week 1t looked AS If the bulls were in full control, and as if they were going to advance the price of the new crop in a sensational manner Fifteen cents for October was freely talked of, and this talk was based OH the extremely dry condition of the soil fin Texas. With the advent of the rains all this was changed. and at the end of the week even the bulls were willing to admit that the crop in Texas was start ing off fairly we'll They insisted, how ever. that the decline had discounted the rains and that more consideration should be given the probable effects this summer of the eighteen months of drought that Texas has suffered. Old planters claim that the subsoil in Texas will hardly be moistened by rains now because evapora- ton of moisture is too rapid at this time of year and that when the tap root of he cotton plant strikes into the subsoil. in the hot, dry periods of the coming summer 1t will not find the sustenance that ought to be there. Because of this theory, the bulls are not willing to allow the decline to go much farther with out fight.
 Tn the spot market prices advanced one- sixteenth, mddllng closing at 14Ae, al gainst IA 11-16c last week and 9-16c last year. Sales on the spot amounted to 413o bales, against 4000 last week and eS75 this week last year. Sales to arrive totalled 2210 bales, against 800 last week and 45o0 last year.

 Show Her Face

Madrid, April .-(Special)-King AL fonso and Queen Victoria of Spain were passing through the village of Villalba del Alcor in their motor car about dusk one evening recently when the king stopped the car. as is usual, to converse with the authorities.

 What can l do?, asked King Alfonso, laughing.
 "If your majesty would like to light a match and show us the queens face it would satisfy us" replied the girl.
 The king did as suggested, and the people cheered her majesty enthusiastic cally.
