WHEAT PRICES CO
DOWN At OPENING
Corn Follows Example,
Oats Steady to Off.
BU United Press

CHICAGO. April 20-Wheat
traders are moderately bullish for a
small upturn, wet weather and good
export business having changed
sentiment to the constructive side
for a day or two at least. However,
opening quotations were Il to IS
lower than yesterdays close. Late
reports yesterday stated that wheat
sales of around 100000 bushels had
been made. Liverpool was about as
due today.
Corn opened IS to1s lower than
Tuesdays close. Traders who have
expected there would be large de-
liVeries of cash corn on May con-
tracts are taking a different view Of
the situation. and several pit OBJ
servers advanced the opinion that
the liberal changing of May con-
tracts to July that has been on the
last few days suggests lighter de.
liveries of cash corn on May con-
tracts than were estimated at the
close of last week.
The season in oats is now more
than two weeks late and prices are
expected to hold firm at least until
weather conditions show an i'm
provement. Opening prices were un-
changed to sc lower than the
previous close.
Provisions opened steady.

Flood Influence

Commodity markets were under
the influence of weather. Wheat
moved higher at the close, while
cotton, after opening with a small
gain. eased off under selling on the
belief the weather would clear. Floods
along the Mississippi, in case the
levees break, may sway the market
upward, since the new crop would
be endangered in those sections.
Money conditions ruled easy all
day, with the call rate at per cent
through the session. and funds avail.
able in the outside market at 3%
per cent. The increase in broker
age loans was only a temporary set
back for the market. In the first
place it indicated that the public
has come into the market in large
numbers, a good sign, and secondly,
the increase was far under expecta.
tions. Loans are now $411.000, O00
above last year, but there is more
money available for investment and
hence relatively there is little diff.
ference and the market is in a much
healthier state. Just how long the
present rise will continue is a prob
lem unsolved in Wall Street. and
brokers are growing less and less
eager to make any predictions as
to the future.
