| CHICAGO, May 1T.--Wheat-The
holder of wheat suffered a further
sharp loss in his property today. The
situation prohibits bull market, ex-
cept for temporary rallies when the
market becomes over-sold. AS an
ticipated In our previous letter, dating
black weeks ago, holdings of flour by
consumers are very large, much more
extensive than generally believed.
Prices for flour, however, are holding
firm around $500 per barrel for
family brands of spring patents. Crop
reports and political news are not cal
culated to encourage holders.
Corn-Corn was under pressure
throughout the day, but shorts were
timid and covered on every little show
of strength. While the industrial de-
mand Is good and is holding the cash
at good premiums, the expectation of
increased receipts and more spring
like weather. which is fastening the
planting of 81 very large acreage, are
tearish factors that will finally count.
Oats-While there was a good deal
of pressure from local traders and, on
account of outside liquidation, buying
by houses which usually act for the
seaboard had supporting effect.
Standards in store sold today at 701a
cents, which is 8 cents under the set
Element price on the May delivery.
Crop news is more favorable.
