Chicago March 26-DecIining prices of
farm products have this week reached the
lowest level since 1916 for May delivery of
wheat. Disturbed economic conditions,
bearish crop reports and slackening of ex-
port demand were among the chief bearish
factors. Compared with a. week ago wheat
this morning showed setback of 11A to
3A cents, corn was down q to SIS cents,
oats %@1 cent to rs cents and provisions
so to 40 cents. - 49, az n - -
1t has been three consecutive weeks today
since the wheat market began to slip, ow-
ing largely 20 misgivings over the general
business outlook. This week. in addition
to further strain, especially as, to domestic
Industrial conditions, the bulls had an ex-
ira handicap as a result of field advices
that danger of any big damage from the
green bug pest was about over. Then, too,
word was circulated that British govern
ment holdings of wheat would be sufficient
for all British requirements to the end of
the season, and this announcement was fol-
lowed by news of revolutionary outbreaks
in Germany. Occasional rallies which took
place appeared to be related in the main to
spurts Of sharply timed transatlantic buy
ing on declines. - - $500
Corn and oats gave way with wheat. May
corn and May oats dropped to the standard
of prices current in 1918.
Transient uncertainty over packing house
wages tended to restrain dealings in pro-
visions and to let the market sag.

good many stations. also, report denv-
cries starting again from the farms as
they are getting discouraged holding ior
any advance. 1t is freely predicted that
unless We have very severe crop scare
wheat will go to 81. % Kansas City before
May l. Conditions at the present time
over Kansas are at least 900 of perfect on
the wheat and there is no locality that
needs fore than just moisture for the top
soil. The growing crop is from two to
four weeks ahead of what it usually is at
this time of the year owing to the very
mild winter and the early spring start and
We have. heard from two or three stations
southwest of Topeka which report that
wheat is growing fast and will be showing
the first joint within the next week or
ten days.
Export inquiries have been very scarce
the past week, altho premiums have ad-
vanced several cents.
Topeka millers report a little better in
ouiry for flour this weeh and there is, also,
considerable inquiry for wheat coming
from Minneapolis and other northern mills.
Corn prices declined about &c on both
the cash and the option during the past
week and this was rather surprise to
most people as it is felt that corn is really
at, or below, the pre- war price and would
seem to be low enough on that basis.
