Rumors Of Better Conditions in the
Northwest Had a Bearish Ten
dency on Wheat Prices.

Chicago, April 15-Improved wealth
er conditions especially in the north

wheat. Besides Liverpool sent word
of larger offers from Argentina and of
increased clearances from Australia.
Opening prices, which ranged from a
q 12c decline to Ac advance with May
at lie TO 1.161s and July at LAS to
lisa were followed by slight gen.
eral up turn and then a decided set
back all around.
Rains in Kansas and Nebraska led
to further downturns in wheat. In this
connection 1t WIS said 100000 bushels
/ had been purchased at Kansas City to
come to Chicago. The close was I'M
settled sc to a407sc net lower, with
May at 1155s and July at 1.14126 sc.
/ Corn turned downgrade with wheat.
Eastern shipping demand was said to
! be of insignificant proportions. After
opening &c off to &c up. the market
underwent a moderate sag. Oats had
no independent action.
Later the east was said to be bidding
strongly for cash corn IN store. Fut-
ure deliveries rose as result. The
close was firm at &c to ss@&c net
advance.
