CHICAGO, May 12.-Wheat-Scat-
tered showers in parts of the south
west started a selling movement in
wheat early, and values were slightly
lower than last nights closing figures.
But by midday prices again sold high
er than last night, largely because
the local crowd found themselves over
sold On the break. There was fair
demand on account of general COM
plants of the conditions OF growing
crops. May wheat became more con-
gested and very difficult to buy. Pres
sure from cash interests was very
light and has been since May i. The
lessening up of the export demands is
shown although clearances are very
fair. 1t has been long time since
any domestic wheat has been sold
abroad. Arrivals at seaboard are
fairly liberal principally of Manitobas.
The market is not strong enough to
warrant buying on bulges. although
purchases made on the dips will prove
profitable.
Corn-A natural rally occurred in
corn but prices failed to hold the ear
ly bulge. Shipping demands appear
to be more active in outside market,
especially in Kansas City. Indica-
tons are that stocks of corn in store
at the latter place will be materially
reduced this week.
Oats-Offertngs Of oats by commits
sion houses were fairly well absorb
ed by cash interests. There were,
however, long oats coming out enough
to supply the demands and prices by
midday were under the close of yes
terday. Damage reports continue to
come In, but are not attracting atten-
ton since they are not accompanied
with buying orders.
The Modern Miller says:
Rains in Kansas and Nebraska were
badly needed and have benefited the
crop in southern Kansas and Okla
homa. Rain is still needed and some
wheat counties report drouth condt-
tons. Hessian fly and green bugs
have done considerable damage in
Oklahoma and southern Kansas and
constitutes menace. The soft wheat
crop has had plenty of moisture and
is progressing without making any
showing materially towards better
ed.
