CHICAGO, April 11.-Wheat tend

tention chiefly to decline at Liver
pool and to weakness of foreign ex-
change. Buyers appeared to be hold
ing off pending development of some
important new incentive. 1t was con-
tended that known bullish factors
had been fully discounted for the
present. Opening quotations, which
ranged from Is to Is lower, with May
1885 to 1.33as and July 1.20A to
1.21, were followed by a slight rally
and then by downturns lower than
before.
Export wheat demand was slow.
but the effect was partly counter
balanced by word of better milling

Omaha The close was unsettled, "
