WHEAT PRICES ARE
 HEAVY AT CLOSING
Liquidating Sales Comprise an Influence in Lower
 ing Market

Chicago. April 3o.-Iiquidating sales to make ready for May deliveries tomorrow comprised an influence in lowering wheat. Heaviness characterized the close. which was &a1isc under last nights level. Other leading staples, too. all suffered losses. corn isQAc to Adssc net; oats, i4@sso to %d7sc. and provisions 5a12lfc.
 Holders of May contracts who were nn- prepared to accept actual delivery of wheat or who were apprehensive as to the effect on tenders proving to he of extra ordinary volume, showed noticeable dis position to get out of the market, even at material sacrifice.
 Free buying by a big warehouse inter est tended somewhat to offset in corn the bearish effect of the decline in wheat, however, rapid progress in planting was an element adverse to the bulls.
 Efforts to change from the May option to later months resulted in pulling down oats. Good cash demand, however, helped to chec k.he down turn.
 Despite large export sales, and notwith- standing higher hog prices, provisions un- derwent sag. Liauidating by holders of May contracts appeared to be chiefly to blame.

 Reports of renewed rain in the south- west probably helped inspire this demand, while an unfavorable view of new crop conditions also was promoted by the of ficial forecast for clear weather tomorrow in the Carolnas, Georgia and Alabama. Private crop reports indicating present prospects for an acreage reduction of from IA to 16.6 per cent, and of from g to A per cent in the use of fertilizers. ap- peared to create no fresh sentiment of consequence, and general business was quiet. with the market selling off later under realizing and local selling for reaction.
 Private predictions that the eastern belt drouth would be broken within the next few days were wired here from New Or leans, accompanied by some southern sell ing orders on the setback after the early advance Wall street houses seemed to have comparatively few orders around the ring, but there was little Wall street buying on declines.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, April 3o.-(Special )-Cables this morning were about as due, and our market was influenced by two private re- ports on the acreage and fertilizer one putting the acreage reduction at IA per cent and the fertilizer reduction at 4O per cent, and the other placing them at Is and 30 per cent respectively These reports steadied a dull market in which the traders were all opposed to prices. They are very skeptical that they are sub- stantially correct
 At the moment there is-very little spec ulative demand so that the pessimistic feeling, which has again appeared fin the same manner as at the lower prices ear Her in the son, has some effect upon the market. General business is im- proving and the question remains whether the advance has discounted the prob ability of a smaller yield at time when our spinners can reasonably look for an improvement in their business This ques- tion remains to be decided, but averse weather would have large influence in shaping the minds of the trade at this point.

COTTON MARKET
 IS LESS ACTIVE Prices Show Tendency to Work Lower Under
 Realizing

New York, April 9o.--Cotton has been showing a tendency to work lower un- der realizing and reports of diminishing spot demand At a decline of about 30 to B points from recent high records. however, the market has been steadied by reports of unfavorable weather south, indications of continued activity at ad- vaneing prices in the domestic goods market and the prompt stopping of may notices by local spot or banking interests.
 Houses with Wall street connections have been much less active in the mar ket, and it is supposed many of their clients have turned their immediate at tention from cotton to stocks. Some of the larger trade interests have been cred tied with selling new crop months, while there has also been considerab be selling of those positions for Liverpool. Notices so far Issued against May contracts have amounted to more than 5000 bales, but scattering near months liquidation has been well absorbed at discount of about Q to 90 points under July and 1t Is re- ported that all tenders of cotton not yet passed upon by the department of agri- culture are to be appealed in order to se- cure certificates from the government classers. Heavy rains reported south. west have been accompanied by reports of damage to all crops. with delay tc preparations and planting, while contin. ued dry weather east or the river has led to complaints that rains. were needed to cause germination.
 Many traders consider 1t still too early for any serious apprehension as to ulti- mate yields. however. and bullish cror advices have failed to create any general aggressive demand. although they have -trf. ,.l1s or less investment buying on declines There has been little change in local es- inmates as to probable exports or domes- tic mill requirements for the season and private reports on acreage have shown reductions of from 14 to 16.6 per cent.
