CHICAGO. April 2o.-The feature
of the wheat market today was the
taking OF 100000 bushels new crop for
export. to be delivered early in Sep.
TENDER. Great Britain was a buyer OF
September wheat again today. During
the last week the purchases of that
country here have been on a liberal
scale. New York reported a good de-
mand there for new crop wheat One
stumbling block. however, for the ex-
port business is the question of
freights, as vessel room can only be
engaged with the privilege of cancel
lation by the ship owner. In addition

liberal transactions in the old
The wheat market today was a wild
affair, especially i'll the May future.
The pit was filed with stop-loss or
ders and the low price made was at a
decline OF TIC under Mondays clos,
ing. The market regained good part
of this loss almost as rapidly as 1t de.
clined. This gave the list a weaker
tone and brought about scattered sell
ing in the deferred futures. which con.
tinued through the day, with the July
future off &c at one time. Minneapo.
lis and Duluth wheat held up better
than our own, with very light receipts
in both markets.
