CHICAGO, April Wheat-An
oversold condition in the local market
and strength in the northwest mar
kets, due to unfavorable weather for
seeding, caused a sharp rally today
in our wheat market. Reports OF rain
and snow in the northwest was the
main factor. Illinois state crop re-
port makes the wheat condition 63,
or two points lower than April 1, with
an abandoned acreage Of forty per-
cent on account Of winter killed and
floods. Kansas and Nebraska reports
were generally favorable. Political
news was the chief bear factor and
this will probably continue to be i'm
portant to bears for some time on
all commodities.
Corn-Prominent local bull was
selling corn on every bulge, but the
offerings were readily absorbed by
one of the local elevator interests,
who of late has been conspicuously
on the buying side While country
offerings show some increase, there
is no great pressure from this source.
Chicago shipments today were larger.
Argentine shipments were larger. The
weather is unfavorable for field work
over a large part Of the belt
Oats-Large country offerings were
offset by demand from seaboard
interests who are buying the May.
Cash demands is reported slow. Much
will depend on the growing weather
Of the next few weeks.
