CORN FUTURES
HIT new LOWS
BEFORE CLOSE
Wheat ReSIStS Pressure as
Pits Feel Effect of
Liquidation.
BY HAROLD L. RAINVILLE
United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO, April 2.-Heavy llqui-
dalton again swamped the corn pit
on the Board Of Trade today and
prices set consecutive new lows in
the latter part Of the session.
Wheat resisted stubbornly, large
ly through spreading with corn. but
September sank to a new seasonal
low. Commission houses and locals
were persistent sellers of corn. May
and September went below 60 cents
for the first time during the year.
Prices are the lowest since 1922
There was some support for May
under go cents, which helped check
the decline. Oats sold off with corn
and uncovered stop-loss orders.
Wheat Unchanged
at the close wheat was unchanged
10 z cent lower, with May z cent
higher; corn was p to y cent lower
and oats were y to y cent lower.
Provisions were easy.
Liverpool held steady during the
day owing to the fact that all Rus
sian wheat in store had been used
up by millers and closed ls to sc
lower This led to the expectation
Of an export demand for Ameri-
can wheat, although Canada would
be the first market to benefit. Cash
prices were unchanged. Receipts
we're twenty-eigh cars.
