Rains in Texas and Oklahoma failed to offset reports that irreparable damage had been done in Oklahoma and that a drought area extended northward to the Dakotas.
 Wheat swayed with corn but kept within narrow limits. Harvesting of winter wheat was said to be making favorable progress and there also was improvement in the general condition of the spring crops. In the oats crowd the chief influence was the fact that despite numerous fluctuations the corn market averaged higher. The bearish field reports regarding oats were thus more than counterbalanced
