Higher prices on wheat and rush

of a big shortage in the 1916 domestic
CROP Profit taking, however by specu-
lators who had purchased early led to .
sharp temporary reaction. The market
was unusually active Opening prices,
which showed sc to B@lc advance,
with May at $1.1s% to n and July at
$1.17h to ", were followed by SUB
stantial further gains that were inter
rupted. though, by number OF tran
silent breaks.
Later the market took more decid-
ed downward trend, influenced by cool
weather and by New York stock mar
ket declines that were assumed here to
be due more or less to the unpromising
diplomatic outlook. The corn was
heavy. Nc to 1Ac net lower. with May
at $1.17h and July at $1.15h.
Corn rose iIt sympathy with wheat.
Besides, weather conditions were un-
favorable After opening unchanged to

WINTER A SEVERE ONE.

Springfield, Ill.,, April IA crop
statement issued today by the state
board of agriculture shows that 35 per
cent of the wheat acreage of the entire
state was winter killed and that only
IS per cent of the living wheat is in
normal condition. These figures are
based on data collected April /.
The statement says:
April /, in the northern division of
the state, there was q per cent of
area seeded to wheat winter killed
and the living wheat was only about 70
per cent normal condition; in the cen
trail division, Al per cent winter killed
and IS per cent normal condition and
in the southern division 81 per cent
was winter killed and 81 per cent
normal condition. which taking the
state as a whole would mean that
there was 35 per cent of the area sown
winter killed and the living wheat only
IS per cent normal condition.
These figures were based upon
each county as a unit and comparing
this report with report made March
Is, shows per cent greater winter
killed, but condition ! per cent better.
The wheat was sown late last fall and
the ground, unpacked and the open
winter caused the wheat to freeze out.
The plants appear to be growing the
past two weeks, but very thin and
spotted over the fields. These reports
being made in advance of warm rains
should be considered and accepted
with reserve. Some fields that appear
barren now will show up green before
next month";
