Cereals

Wheat. Holders took profits yester-
day and after feverish fluctuations both
WAYS the market closed heavy. with net
losses OF 21s 20 3ia cents. Prospects
of needed rains in the Southwest
caused heavy selling of the new crop
months, while May weakened in sym
pathy. Also its technical position had
been weakened by the recent advance.
The cash situation continued TO show
siren 9Th. ana there was good domes-
tic and export demand, while offers con-
tinued light. Exporters were credited
with taking about 100000 bushels OF
wheat and about 100000 sacks Of flour
making in all the equivalent OF about
900 600 bushels Of wheat. Il was re
ported that mills had purchased nearly
half a million bushels OF cash wheat,
principallv Canadian. The active de-
mand resulted in cash premiums beng
we'll maintained. II was evident, how
ever. that buyers were holding OIL as
far as possible owing TO the cheaper
offers Of both American and Canadian
wheat with the opening OF Lake naVl'
CATION.
Reports on the winter wheat crop
were not materially improved. Inc
Modern Miller" made the condition 40
per cent in Kansas and 81 in Oklahoma,
while heavy crop damage was reported
in a number Of the leading hard winter
wheat states.
