WHEAT SWINGS DOWNWARD
ON NORTHWEST WEATHER
Lower Cable Reports Also Operate
/ in Favor Of Bears-Trading
Is Not Large.

CHICAGO, April 2s.-Favorable
weather northwest and lower Liver
pool quotations gave a downward
swing today to che wheat market here.
The volume of trade was not very
large. and prices were easily infiu-
enced. Brokers said deals in the May
option had become difficult to execute.
and that the delivery showed signs Of
Tightening.
Initial prices. which ranged from Y
decline to a shade advance. with May
at 1.12a to 1.13. and July at LA to
HAS. were followed by a slight rally.
and then a general decline.
Corn Down in Sympathy.
Corn turned down grade owing to the
weakness of wheat. Besides, field condi-
lions were such as to favor blowing
and planting. After opening y to aa
Il lower. the market continued to re-
cede.
In oats as in other grain. suspicious
weather had a bearish effect. Com
mission houses took almost unanimously
to the selling side.
Higher prices on hogs put irmness
into provisions. On the bulge. how
ever signs appeared that packers were
unloading.
Reports that green bugs were causing
wheat damage throughout Oklahoma
tended afterward to rally the market.
Missouri advices were also received that
told OF injury from hessian fly. The
close nevertheless. was weak, at 1.13%
for May and 1.14% for July. with the
market Il off to q up. compared with
yesterdays finish.
Later corn Quotations seemed to be
governed entirely by the action Of wheat.
The close was heavy. at u to ssa1s net
decline.
