RAIN STARTS WILD
SELLING IN GRAIN
Prospect of Good Crops
Causes CoIIapse-S2 Wheat
Now Only Memory.
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO. April At was a red
letter week for havoc in grain
values. Apparent virtual ending of
the drought which has threatened
the safety of the Winter wheat crop
all the way from Nebraska to Texas
inclusive, was largely responsible.
Compared with a week ago, the
wheat market this morning showed
price setbacks varying from 8ha to
1914 cents a bushel, with corn 101a
to II down. oats 55s to ~ off and
provisions at 30 to 65 decline.
Shortage Talk Vanishes.
The extraordinary amount of urgent
selling which was witnessed in all
the grain pits and the big consequent
breaks in price were regarded in
some quarters as the natural sequel
to the widespread speculative buying
that a few weeks back hoisted wheat
to above 81 a bushel. 1t was point
ed out in this connection that the
practical ending of the drought left
hardly the slightest prospect in sight
for a world scarcity OF breadstuffs,
the seeming likelihood OF which had
been the chief basis for previous un-
usual demand.
Large Supplies in Europe.
Europe, coupled with the fact that
the United States visible supply was
only being reduced about half as IA st
az any traders had looked for, did
much also to hurry sellers into ac-
tion. Meanwhile indefinite reports
were circulated that financial trouble
was to some degree factor in the
European continental grain trade.
These reports were afterward denied
but the denials failed to get any
thing like the notice which the orig
inaI reports had received. Relative
iy little heed, too, was paid to asser-
tions that the rains came too late
for much of the crop in Kansas and
were otherwise inadequate.
Corn and Oats Fall.
With the buoyancy gone from
wheat, the corn market and oats
were unable to withstand the pres
sure OF large immediate supplies.
Provisions responded to the fall OF
grain and almost ignored a material
rise in the value of hogs.

The abatement Of unsettlement in

the general situation a better aspect,
in the opinion of r. G. Dun & Co.
Speculative excesses are always
more or less detrimental to business,
for reaction is inevitable when 4
rise of prices has been carried too
far, and If the readjustment is
severe 1t tends to affect sentiment,
The soundness of basic conditions
now is reassuring. but many people
had become over sanguine regarding
trade prospects and their eXpec-
tatons of rapid progress have not
been fulfilled
activity in various commodities, as in
iron and steel. copper and other
metals, textiles and leather, and
prices have been declining This
trend is reflected in Dun's index
