CHICAGO. April SO.--Talk Of labor diff
culties in Germany, fears of Government
regulation and improved crop news forced
n sharp drop i'm wheat today after it had
displayed renewed strength early in the ses.
sion The close was mized, with May &c
lower, July higher and September easier
The high point on May, s2.7s was made
at the opening and 1t fell to $40. closing
at s2.71, against s2.74 at the end Saturday;
the best ON July was s2.3i, the bottom
s2.23i, and the final s2.26li to s2.25T
compared with S2.25 at the close Satur-
day the top on September was S1.95 the
low s1.s6ia. and the close s1S9 to s1.SSss
against s1.9Oi2, Saturdays last price. The
top prices on Saturday were $2.79a for
May, s2.36 for July and SO for September.
The big trading today was In July, but
even in this position the volume of business
was not large.
Commission houses urged their clients to
hug the shore. Closer observers of the
market said that boarding on the part of
panicky housewives was partially re-
sponsibe for the great upward movement.
Authorities on flour said that the demand
for the staple should be fairly well satis-
fled in the next two or three weeks and
with consumers supplied for a long time 1t
was natural to assume that there would be
a reaction.
There was talk of bringing Canadian
wheat here for delivery on May contracts.
but the difference is not sufficiently wide
to warrant such action. There will be no
deliveries here tomorrow on May contracts.
The decision of the Exchange at Winnipeg
to restrict speculative operations lost its
influence in the initial dealings when the
market was strong.
Dealings in corn were restricted to trad
ers having been interested in the erratic
movements i'm wheat. Prices moved irregu-
larly, opening easier. developing firmness
and then weakening. closing firm.
oats also were irregular. The market was
strong and active early, but the advance
was lost There was a recovery from the
bottom. May ended unchanged, but July
and September finished a little lower There
is little prospect of deliveries on May con-
tracts tomorrow.
Leading futures ranred n G folIows.

The extraordinary good rice crop
in the far east have ended all pos
sibility of the renewal of the exports
OF American -four TO that part of the
world for the present. The crop in
Japan is so good that it has forced
Japanese -four mills to get rid Of
their stocks at low prices, and the
result is that Japanese -four is being
sold in China much cheaper than Am.
erican or Canadian -four.
