concession to grain growers committed
to the pooling plan of cooperative
grain marketing was announced by
the board of directors of the United

concession will give the growers op-

of their wheat crops. This method of
sale is provided in addition to the di-
rect sales and pooling methods.
I'VE believe that this is the most
practicable method of insuring against

ImportatiOns Cause
Wheat To Tumble.

CHICAGO, April ia. P)-
Wheat prices tumbled yesterday ow-
ing largely to continued importations
of Canadian wheat and to sharp
break at Winnipeg. The market clos
ed heavy, 3 l-4G4 Ia net lower with
May $l,24G1,S4 Ia and July S1.05h
a G1,05ts. Corn lost 5-S9S-4c and
oats Ice to 7-Sc. Provisions finished
unchanged to SIC down.
At first the wheat market showed
considerable strength as a result of
fear that low temperatures had dam
aged the new crop. Field advices,
however, indicated that the damage,
If any. would prove only minor. Then
the attention of traders shifted to the
big receipts in the northwest. swollen
by arrivals from Canada. Uncertainty
as to progress of the emergency tariff
bill in the senate tended also to give
some advantage to the bears. At this
juncture word came of collapse of
prices at Winnipeg. Selling pressure
was given further impetus by the fact
that decrease shown in the domestic
visible supply total was much smaller
than looked for.
Corn and oats weakened with wheat
but were steadied somewhat by export
sales of 100000 bushels of corn and by
signs of some foreign call for oats.
In provisions, the effect of higher
quotations on hogs was soon more
than counter balanced by the bearish
action of grain.
