HIGHEST LEVEL OF
 SEASON REACHED
New Crop Futures in Wheat Market SOar-MilliOns of
 Bushels UnlOaded

Chicago, April 11.-New. crop futures in the wheat market sold today in the high est level reached so far this season. Mill lions of bushels unloaded however, b. the chief owners of the May option nulh- fled the advance. which was due mainly to increased excitement over reports of dam age to growing wheat, especially in Illi- nois. The market closed easy at price varying from 1sQc lower to 9sQs4c high, CT. Latest trading left corn with a net gain of i4c to Aqssc, oats a4Q9sc higher than last night, and provisions slanting from unchanged figures to 7ik@10c decline.
 Crop damage excitement was at white heat for the day as a result of the dis patches sent by special Investigators who had gone from Chicago to sections of Illi- nois that had been reported as exhibiting the worst effects of winter killing in wheat sown last fall. hundred miles each way from PelSin, along the Illinois river, word came that nearly all the fields were dead the only exception being on some of the sandy land planted with the best hard variety of seed. Opinions etrom Springfield were that central Illinois would lOl raise lliS N6tlT ltlolt lildH W pSi N1ill of an average yield. Bad conditions were also heard from Ohio and Indiana, with considerable doubtful acreage in Kansas and Nebraska.
 It was at the height of the bulge in wheat prices that staggering amounts of May delivery were put on sale. There was also much realizing in the latter months, due in part to the excellent prog ress of seed operations throughout the na1r rafa ot,A Tn 1aa the July option, which between the open ing and the close had sold up from N.oc14 to Sl.02 finished at s1.007s@1.0i.
 Despite the fact that many longs re- duced holdings of corn and went into wheat and oats, the last named cereals surpassed previous high marks of the year. Undiminished demand southwest counted strongly for the bull side. The volume of trade here, though, was ma terlally cut down, and the feeling in the main nervous.

SHARP REACTION
 IN COTTON MARKET
Close Barely Steady Last Prices Showing a Net
 Decline

New York, April 1t.-There was a sharp reaction in the cotton market today un- der heavy realizing and local selling fol- lowing the sharp advance of the earlier week. The close was barely steady, and last prices showed a net decline of from l3 to 2l points.
 The market opened steady at an advance of points to a decline of points, heavy overnight buying orders and reports of unsettled weather in the south being off, Set by disappointing cables and active realizing. Selling was very heavy after the call, and while slight rallies occurred from time to time during the day as a result of covering by early sellers or a momentary show of bull support, the gen. eral tendency of the market was down. ward and the close was within point or two of the lowest.
 The forecast for local rains in most of the eastern states and unsettled or showery weather in the western belt seemed to make comparatively little inn precision on sentiment and the selling movement was probably encouraged to some extent by the rather more favorable CIV Gi eSN b1 HiANoAt NltP iiSNst Pe'i eS' larly from Georgia and the Caroinas. Judging from the talk around the ring, however, local offerings seemed to be chiefly inspired by feeling that the technical position of the market had weakened on the recent rapid advance, owing to the reduction in the specula- tive short interest and the creation of considerable scattering long account.
 Leading bull interests gave the market a little support from time to time, but were supposed to be sellers by balance,
 and this probably encouraged moderate pressure from local bears. Reports from Memphis claimed that the river was fall- ing there, but that the crest of the rise had not yet reached the levees lower down, and that some of the levees were in a critical condition. Private cables from Liverpool attributed the decline there par 1 tialy to American selling of new crop positions, and both Liverpool and New Orleans houses were heavy sellers here during the day.

Hubbard Bros. x Co.'s Letter

New York, April 11.-(Special)- l)-Foreign adyices were poor, but the market opened with a fair demand, probably from be- Ia.4d , TT aI r, of vefterdaN This was met by a liberal supply from eager profit takers. especially from the leading long interests. and the highest prices were at the opening.
 Though there was apparently little bear pressure prices fell away easily with only slight support, and that from local and casual buyers. The market was wholly without vim and should a> further ad- vance happen II will be by much slower stages. The weather continues unsettled and emphatic and general assertions are made that spots are scarce.
 While the long side has waned in pop ulartv from this setback and there is no new buying power. sellers are not yet aggressive. The flood scare has not vet passed

weather map was unfavorable but not as unfavorable as expected. While the east ern cotton belt was wet the western belt was dry and the forecast did not prom ise rain anywhere. Prospects were Tor unsettled conditions in the western belt. Cable advices were colorless. Immediately after the call prices were 1 to points up but at the end of the first half hour of business they were to 10 points down, compared with yesterdays close.
 Realization of the long interest was heavy around the middle of the early session. It was rumored that several leading bulls had sold out and reports from one operator announced that he had shifted over to the bear side. The market took the selling well and did not show pronounced weakness at any time At he lowest prices were 10 to IS points under yesterdays close. Telegrams announced cotton up in several more counties of Texas, in Louisiana in Mississippi and Georgia At midday prices were to 10 points down.
 Idduidation continued. Prices fell off. Half an hour before the close prices were to 10 points under yesterdays close
