Advance in Wheat
Followed by Drop
On New Pressure
Lcreased Export Business
Helps Prices, butRis Only
Brings Reaction on Crop
Weather; Corn Is Sleadier

CHICAGO, April 4.--Rains in the
west and southwest had bearish in
fuence on the wheat market to-day,
but the effect was nearly counter-bal-
anced by liberal export business. The
market closed unsettled at &c net de
cline to like advance with May 1913
to s138A and July s1.15. Corn finished
unchanged to nc higher, and oats
gained u to Nc. In provisions the
outcome was setback Of 27 to Toe.
At nrat majority OF wheat traders
were apparently inclined to the belief IN n
riring market, the ground that all
known bearish factors had been discount
ed and that rally due. Then came
word of rainy weather in Nebra ska and
Kansas. together with predictions of mos
ture throughout the greater part of the
winter wheat belt Jnasmuch crop pros
poets were thus materially improved, an
increase Of ceiling pressure soon became
apparent, especially In the July delivery.
Aftervard. however, II waa estimated that
:. 900 900 bushels OF wheat 500 600 hushel els
Of rye and 20 900 barrels Of -four had beeu
taken for export Rallies followed and
during later dealings he Ma option. in
particular, showed comparative strength.
Corn and oats were guided largely by
the changes in wheat persistent rural
demand for small lots of corn was noted
Liberal increase OF Western stocks Of
meats and lard tended to deprive tho pro-
vision market Of support.

Cotton Depressed
By Heavy Selling;
Liverpool Weaker
May Options Sell Down to
ll.3Oc and July to Below
12c Before Short Cover
ing Causes Slight Rally

Further pronounced weakness devel-
opcd in the cotton market yesterday,
and at one time prices recorded net
losses of 36 to al points, which repre-
sented break of about $50 points in
the last ten days. The British labor
situation again furnished the principal
selling motive in both the Liverpool
market and here, but in the early af-
tternoon, pressure appeared also from
New Orleans, based on reports that the
sales of fertilizer during March were
heavier than they were for the same
month last year.
1t wns pointed out. however, that this
prohab bly, indicated that farmers had walt
ed later in the season than usual to pur-
chase their supplies. Covering orders near
the close brought a rally Of about Is points
from the lowest of the day, and the mar
ket was finally steady in tone and II to 81
points net lower.
An encouraging factor In the later after
noon was tho statement attributed TO Gov
ernor Harding of tho Federal Reserve
Board urging the bankers to retain their
confidence In solving the cotton situaiion.
declaring present large stocks of cotton do
not represent surplus 10 predicted a
solution of the problem without tho dsas
trous results feared by some OF tho bank
Mr.. Hoover. in addressing the cotton
representatives, pledged the cooperation
of tho government in bringing about an
ameloration of conditions.
Cotton men who have just returned
from England are understood to be pes
smistc over the present situation in that
country
New England and other mill interests
were buyers, but. on the other hand, Liv-
erpool and the South sold rnodera ely.
Southern spot markets were unchanged
to GO points lower.
The local market for spot cotton was
quiet and 25 ponta lower at l1.65 for mid
ding; no sales were reported.
