CHICAGO, April 5.-Wheat-While
there was little change of better crop
reports, long holders who had good
profits were disposed to sell on raj
lies today, with the result that prices
by noon had sold off about two cents
from early prices. Weather condt.
lions in the northwest and Canada
continue unpromising and it now
seems little likelihood Of large acre
age Of spring wheat. Seaboard de-
mands are fair and daily clearances
are at considerable volume of bust
may have been made without being
reported. To most traders, this re-
action is welcome after an advance
of about fourteen cents from the low
point last week. On any further de-
cline of consequence, we consider
wheat on an investment basis.
Corn-Corn was lower with wheat
and on account of selling by timid
bull holders. Offerings from country
are small, but there is no very acute
cash demands for cash corn and the
light arrivals are not easily placed.
The government showing of unreas-
enable heavy feeding of wheat is
construed as bearish on corn. 1t is
hardly reasonable to expect low
priced corn this year and therefore
not advisable to sell on breaks.
Oats-Houses with seaboard con-
nections were fair buyers of oats
and those in close connection with
the exporters say that some export
business is to be done. Profit taking
in other grains however, made An
easier market in oats. AS in the
case in corn it doesn't seem reason
able to expect low priced oats this
year, and on sharp breaks the buying
side therefore seems preferable.
