CHICAGO, May 4.-Wheat-The air
today was full of rumors Of govern
ment price regulation and peace
talk, and the market consequently
was heavy. In addition to the above
depressing features, there was also
considerable talk of improvement in
the growing crop especially in the
soft winter wheat states. No atten-
ton was. paid to the decreasing visible
or the private crop estimates which
show little if any increase in the gov
ernments estimated yield as of April
1. The market does not show a heavily
(overbought condition and the holdings
of foreigners are sufficient to make 1t
difficult to buy any quantity OF our
wheat without materially affecting
values.
Corn-Largely in sympathy with
wheat, corn was easier. There was
very sharp break early on account OF
fear Of government regulation. On
the other hand, the government Is in
the market in large way, for corn
products, especially alcohol, and the
movement is hardly sufficient for in
dustrial needs. At this level of values
the market will of course make wide
swings and there will be little to
trade on until the new crop prospect
Is more clearly determined and trad
ing in the new crop deliveries be-
comes more general.
Oats-Liquidation in oats was on
and the market showed little rallying
power. Premiums in the cash mar
ket were slightly reduced. Cash
houses and brokers who usually act
for the seaboard were buyers of the
Nav delivery and Stepember was sup
ported by interests that were thought
to have been short higher up. Oats
are on safer investment basis than
other grains.
