MARKET NOTES

It was the gossip OF the grain trade
last night that liquidation was on, and
that while there might be sharp up
turns as the result Of overselling on the
part Of the local element, there was
little profit to be made on the buying
side until it had run it's course. Wheat
traders said they could see nothing in
the situation to cause even a moderate
rally, and that values would have to
seek an export level unless something
unforeseen happened to the crop which
at the moment did not appear probable.
Bulls, however, argued that as for
eigners seemed intent on buying at
lower figure, it would be well to look at
the situation from a worlds standpoint
and pointed to the deficit Of 15,500,000
bu in available supplies, as compared
with last year, and expect to see an
urgent demand from foreigners later
on May at It's low point yesterday was
off az from the high figure Of week
ago, which led many commission
houses to look for reaction following
any further break today.
Corn bears recovered their courage
yesterday, although it was noticeable
that when May touched GIN on the
early break there was considerable
nervousness shown, as it was from that
figure that Fridays bulge started, but,
as commission houses continued to sell,
they pressed their advantage with good
success. 1t was the gossip last night
that with few exceptions the local
crowd was heavily short, that the
greater part Of the holdings Of scatter
ed commission houses had been liquid
ated, that the holds Of the LaYnson
house did not show the loss expected,
owing to their scale buying, which
brought the average down closer to
the market, and that after break of
3Mc from the high point of week
ago some reaction was probable, al
though majority Of traders believed
that unless there was a marked revival
in the eastern demand all bulges made
by short covering should be met with
salesJ Bulls said that, while consider
able stress was being placed upon the
amount OF financing necessary to take
care Of the 11,S50,000 bu corn In store
here, it should be remembered only s.
100000 bu was in public elevators. Of
which only half was available for de-
livery on contracts at the moment
