Chicago, April 24.-Nervousness was
Firm cables were offset by the splen-
did crop situation but later some IN
teresr was manifested over the in
crease in the com plexity OF the Eu-
ropean political situation because OF
the note Of Austria Hungary 10 the
powers today demanding the imnedl-
ate expulsion OF the Montenegrins
from Scutari. The market opened Is 10
"a and u lower for May and July, the
former at 914, and the latter at 90
to 92A. After slight depressions both
reacted 70 opening figures.
Prices advanced on Duluth reports
of 5000 bushels new export sales but
reacted on failure TO confirm. The
close was weak with MAY at 9o1. q
1925 to 92ss d9212. a loss Of Is q y,
July the same al 917s G92.
Corn.
Corn declined because OF lightness OF
demand July opened 10 Il and Il
lower, at $50 and Is, TO 557s. and
eased off to So l. and s.
Later an upturn followed improved
eastern demand. The close was easy,
however, with July Is off at SOS.
Oats.
Oats showed some weakness with
corn. July started * and !. lower a.
34ss to 34a. and held within that
range.

Chicago, April 24.-Wheat-Liver-
pool apparently wished TO discourage
our advancing tendency and failed 10
respond TO our strength of yesterday,
tho the market finally closed l. 10 !:
higher. After a little break here early
there was strong advance, which was
lost during the last hour and final
prices were q lower than yesterday.
Continental markets continue 10 show
good strength and the advances abroad
In the last three months have been
fairly large. while we are below the
level prevailing at that time. The de-
preston in futures is not especially
significant in view of the price At
which owners of cash wheat are ask
ing for their holdings.
Con-There was little strength al
one time. but the general tone has been
easy and final prices are Is to u low
er than vest erday. While cash sales
have been reported as liberal in vol
ume. the greater part seems 20 he in
dustriai users locally and eastern buy
ers are showing no anxiety at the
present time. Fresh shelled corn now
arriving is grading for the most part
No. or choice No. and bringing good
premiums over prices for May-July.
Oats-There was slight Improvement
in the cash demand which kept May
oats relatively strong. Other months
.ho,y a slightly easier tendency. There
is little immediate prospect Of any ma
terial changes in the price level in the
near future.
Provisions-Sharp decrease in the
number OF hogs shipped to western
markets stimulated somewhat prices
for live hogs and caused buying by
packers early today. A sharp advance
followed. with shorts nervous and or
ders coming largely from profit taking
longs.
