Wheat-The government report on
spring wheat placed the indicated yield
at 242 $4,000 bushels, compared with
last months estimate of 250,000,000
and last years final crop of 1853, 900
bushels. This, together with the pre-

total indicated yield of CSC. $4,000.
compared with last years crop Of 639,
$4,000, and the crop of 1915, OF 1925,
sol 900 bushels. Receipts at primary
points continue moderate compared
with last year, and the visible supply
increased only $4,000 bushels for the
week, making the total $4,000 COM
pared with 62,627 900 year ago.
Corn-The government report on
corn, published after the close of the
market, made even better showing
than had been anticipated. The trade
had been looking for loss OF about
10000, 900 bushels from last month,
but the figures were only about $4,000
600 less, the total being $40, $4,000
