Of the week q slow downward drift

ed to limit the decline to uilimportant
proportions. The distant or new crop
deliveries failed TO decline to any note
worthy extent, the largest break be-
ing in the current months contracts.
This was owing In part to the fact that
the outstanding short interest was
generally believed to be small At the
same time there was almost no demand
from exporters
The nearby contracts We're also af-
fected BY the huge total cleared by the
worlds exporting countries. and es-
pecially Russia, leading to large ed-
dillon to the quantity ofloat. These
factors were counteracted in part,
however, by additional complaints of
unfavorable weather In Russia. and by
smaller offerings for forward shipment

kets to be applied OH May contracts.
As to Crop Rumors.
Late in tho week feverishness and
unsettlement were salient features in
wheat markets. Erratic fluctuations
indicated plainly active liquidation
trading for both accounts. Conflicting
influences were sufficiently numerous
to bring about many spasmodIc varla-
tons. On the one hand. sellers OF new
crop futures were led to cover because
of the continued dry weather in winter
wheat territory, and particularly in the
southwest, where hot winds have
doubtless caused further deterioration,
Consequently, 1t is claimed that the
yield In parts of Texas. Oklahoma
and Kansas will be reduced
Nevertheless. conservative traders
claim that general uneasihess is un-
warranted, because any deficiency In
the Southwest Will no doubt be fully
OFFSET BY the large area and prospec-
tive production in virtually all other
sections. Notwithstanding this, many
conservative merchants inclined to the
opinion that tho new crop futures had
been selling at too big a discount.
This opinion was based partly on the
assumption that the worlds shipments
during the next month or two are
likely to show q diminution, cyld hence
it would cause no surprise should Eu-
rope send larger orders for our new
crop as harvest time draws near
Features of Other Markets
4. Corn was buoyant during the past
week. Short sellers have displayed I'M
easiness and anxiety to cover, and par
ticularly May contracts in Chicago in
which there seems to be congestion
notwithstanding large shipments to
that market from other points for de-
livery on contracts. The general
strength was attributed to the con-
tnued dry, hot weather. which threat
ened to cause crop scares Buying was
stimulated partly by reports, mainly
from Chicago that exporters had
brought large Quantities for forward
shipment. n
Oats advanced somewhat sharply,
as offerings are small and short sci,
iers eager to cover prompted largely
BY the dry. hot weather, and reports
OF some reduction in the acreage Large
quantities of Manitoba oats are being
exported, mainly Via Montreal.
