SHlCdSO, April
Grain. prices failed to receive any
stimulus today from the Dawes report
and some foreign selling of wheat here
was evident. AS generally expected,
the government crop report proved
bearish, about in line with unofficial
estimates which have been current.

oats ! to . off and provisions unchang-
ed to 10c higher.
Notable lack OF aggressive buying
characterized the wheat market today:
Notwithstanding that the contents of
the Dawes report were made public be-
fore the market opened Apparently
any tonic influence of the Dawes re-
port had been discounted in advance.
Besides, there was comment that loan
arrangements specific no provision for
buying food supplies. The fact also
that the government crop report was
due after the close had tendency to
restrict trading and 1t was correctly
assumed by a majority of dealers that
the government figures would be adj
verse to the buying side OF the market.
Fine weather likely to promore
growth and to facilitate seeding had
much to do with bringing about suf-
fcient selling to depress wheat values
nearly one cent bushel in some cases.
However. little profit taking on the
part of sellers led to slight rallies as
the day drew to an end.
Corn developed even more weakness
than was the case with wheat. Scat
tered liquidation by holders was In
progress. For the most part the SELL
ing was in small lots but was of per-
sistent variety that attracted notice.
Seeding Roadway eased the oats mar
ket.
Provisions were frmer in line with
hog values.
