Wheat Drops Lower in Pit;
Corn Down in Sym
pathy.
R!I Lnited PrcsS

BH CHlted Press
CHICAGO, April 10.-Sharply
lower levels at Liverpool and bear
ish crop reports offset what might
be construed as favorable in the
farm relief plan news, breaking
wheat prices here today. The strong
cash situation helped May corn, but
later months went backward with
wheat. Oats we're down in SYM
pathy.
At the opening wheat was is to
IA cents lower, corn was off 4
to rs cents and oats were Il to q
cent lower. Provisions were con-
siderable lower.
The governments wheat Condi-
ton report is construed as being
moderately bearish, the estimate Of
winter crop at 1927 per cent of nor
NAL being slightly higher than pre-
vious private figures and consider
ably better than last year, although
indications now are for a crop about
the size of that in 1928.
Corn stocks at Chicago we're re-
duced by 100000 bushels during last
twenty-four hours, this amount be-
ing taken from store to be shipped
by boat to Canadian points. About
100000 bushels is expected to be
moved within the next few weeks.
Northwestern interests continue
to buy May oats and sell the July
and September, but cash markets
are rather quiet, and futures are ex-
pected to continue following the &C
ton in other pits.
