Wheat values suffered an almost
complete collapse. There was a rush
to sell when the market opened and at
no time did any lasting power to rally
develop. The initial selling was due to
the bearish crop outlook and in parti-
cular to Federal Reserve Bank advices

cause any great impairment of the
spring wheat yield. Besides, it was
said in other quarters that the last
three days of cool, clear weather had
chief incentive for high prices thus
