Wheat-A very irregular market
prevailed in wheat, early prices being
sharply higher and quick break of
about cents occurred, after the April
government report. The report show
ing a marked decrease in conditions
since December. The total being "a
per cent as compared 3.5 for the ten
year average. An indicated yield OF
495 million bushels Of winter wheat is
probably too high, because the most
reliable reports indicate an abnormal
loss in acreage due to poor seed and
a late start last autumn. While there
will doubtless be reports of temper
airy bearfsh nature enough to cause
some quick setbacks in prices the gen.
eral situation, both, as regard winter
and spring wheat will eventually prove
bulIiSh
Corn-There was a strong under
tone to the corn market which the
majority Of local traders used for pro-
fit taking the gradual ABSORPTION OF Of
ferings and some covering Of shorts
who sold early, brought sharp upturn
to the highest prices of the day. While
cash demands does not seem to be ur-
gent, there is little corn offered and
the market easily rallies. There seems
no good reason to expect corn prices
lower The poor crop and wasteage
OF the past season.
Oats-Oats were held in check by
reports of increased acreage and fairly
satisfactory progress in seeding in
central Illinois. Receipts continue
small and prospects are for further
decrease in the visible supply on Mon
day. The buying side looks best on
moderate breaks.
