WHEAT
BULLS STIRRED UP

Chicago, April 23.-Alarming crop
reports from Nebraska brought about
a rush of buying in wheat. The news
was contradicted. however, and the
market closed irregular.
What especially stirred up the
wheat bulls was a statement from a
leading export that in Nebraska, east
of the center Of the state and south
Of the Platte river the crop loss was
sensational in some counties and the
prospect poor in nearly all. He added
that conditions were such in Kansas
to put both in the doubtful class this
year. 1t was declared the abandoned
paintings in the two states would
probably reach 100000 acres, and
that the condition in both common
wealths May 1 would be below the av-
erage. These assertions. though. were
later specifically denounced on good
authority as false in part and mislead-
ing as a whole. Reports, too of good
rains having widespread effect tended
to wipe out most Of the advance due
to the stampede.
Nearly all the strength and excite
ment was in the new crop deliveries
