WHEAT FUTURE PRICES
DROP BECAUSE OF RAIN

Minneapolis, May 16.-(P)--Rain
was the final influence in wheat fu-
lures Saturday and lower prices re-
suited. Coarse grains followed the
trend Of wheat. corn futures being
under steady pressure.
Minneapolis May and June closed
q cent lower, July rs cents lower.
and September ! ss cents lower.
Corn opened steady and rallied at
first but July dropped nc on ccatter-
ed selling. Oats eased &c. rye &c,
and flax ls-lc. Barley pressure was
light and prices held steady.
Cash wheat offerings were rather
liberal for this time OF year and de-
nand was narrower.
Winter wheat was n0lninally UNI
changed. Durum was unchanged and
quiet. Cash corn demand was fair
and offerings light Oats demand
still is fair to good. Rye demand
seemed to lose little force. Barley
demand was fair and prices were
firm. Flax offerings were bit heav-
Ter and bids were easier compared
with futures.
