WHEAT is HIT HARD

Canada Cause Sharp Declines

| CHICAGO. April 17.--Unprecedcnted vio-

! was very large. Reports that a German
U-boat had fired on the United States de-

the action of the Canadian Government in

of the western part of that country, and
"A dispatch from Winnipeg said that the
market there should be bigger and better

Canada's surplus is estimated at 100000
600 bushels, and this, added to the sur

States. makes about 10000, 900 bushels that
can be exported before the new crop will
be av' able.
Fur some time shipments abroad have
averaged about 100000 bushels week.
1t is believed that congestion in milling
wheat in the United States will be relieved.
The cash article today was unsettled, with
values readjusting themselves to the new
conditions arising from the addition of
Canada's surplus. Weather conditions in
the Southwest were better. A special re-
port issued by the Oklahoma Department
of Agriculture put the condition of the
