Omaha Futures Market.
A bearIsh sentiment was much In evidence
at the opening today and May wheat de-
ciincd about &c from the closing price OF
yesterday.
The recent downward turn In wheat waa
caused in some degree by the sisckening Of
the export demand and reseiling BY foreign
ers, and also BY the acute railroad situation
the foreigners being unwilling to place iargs
orders and be forced to wait on the rail
roads. Export sales yesterday. however
wore somewhat improved, the local marke
disposing OF 100000 bushels OF wheat ant
about the same amount OF corn.
Sentiment In corn was rather bullish and
some traders claim that the export inquir,
for corn Is stronger than for wheat, but rc
ports up to date show that greater ex
port business has been done In wheat.
Independently. there was very little newi
on the oats situation. and this market u
likely 10 follow the action Of wheat and
corn.
The closing prices today on all cereaiI
were substantially higher, May wheat clos
ing at si.72x. May corn at as%c and Ma,
oats at 54Bc.
