situation was not calculated to inspire
confidence in the wheat market this
morning, nor to encourage fresh in
vestment buying liquidation was.
therefore, the factor Of the day, and
buying support was at no time at all
urgent. Weather conditions continue
to point to late spring in the spring
wheat territory of this country, and
Canada. Reports Of winter wheat are
conflicting but in general those from
the soft wheat states are bullish, while
those from Kansas and Nebraska are
more favorable. Worlds reports con-
dition of large consumption and only
a moderate production. 1t therefore
seems inadvisable to sell wheat short
on the breaks.
Corn-Selling Of long corn by dis
couraged holders and the weakness in
the wheat market, was responsible
for lower prices in the corn pit. Re-
ceipts were light and cash prices were
lower, along with futures. There Is a
fair inquiry, both domestic and for
exporters, but on account Of freight
congestion it is difficult to close. The
interests who have been supporting
the May delivery have been selling
the July. While most OF the local
trade, who have followed the elevator
interests have sold the May and
bought the July, have become dis
couraged and sold out.
Oats-Support in oats which was
coming from spreaders between cats
and corn and from cash interests was
less in evidence today and oats there
fore failed to show their usual stead
mess, while weakness OF other grains
also helped to depress values. While
oats will sympathize with wheat, the
progress of the growing crop will
eventually be the leading factor OF
greatest Importance. Advices are, lib
eral holdings by farmers, but no great
anxiety to sell around present levels.
