Rising Wheat Prices May
Mean End of Depression

tuting nearly IA per cent for the
United States as whole.
The percentage of decline in
wheat production over last year
looms large because the crop of 1881
was very plentiful. The average
yield of the last five years was
551 100000 bushels. In comparison
with that average the indication is
for II per cent decrease in winter
wheat this year.
While April l estimates are not
necessarily correct, it is a fact that
they are usually borne out in actual
crop figures with considerable ac-
curacy. Recognition of this is re-
fiected in wheat quotations. Curl
ously enough. rising wheat prices
have marked the turn from depres-
sion to better conditions in the past
Observers would not be surprised to
see them do so again.

RAIN FORECAST
/. FORCES WHEAT
VALUES DOWN
Corn and Oats Follow Major
Cereals Decline Early
in Day.
BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE
United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO, April 22.-weakness
in stocks and at Liverpool combined
with showers in the southwest and
the forecast for more precipitation
tonight or Saturday gave wheat
fractional downturn as the Board
Of Trade opened today.
There was liquidation in May and
scattered selling in the other
months with little buying support
at the start. Corn was about steady
with action slow. Oats was in line
with corn and dull.
Canada Seeding Delayed
At the opening wheat was 4 to
Is cent lower, corn was unchanged
to Is cent lower and oats unchanged
to Is cent lower. Provisions. were
very slow but slightly firmer.
Steps toward currency initiation,
which the trade feels would be eff
fective first in grains, were en-
couraging Thursday, but with adj
journment of congress only six
weeks away, little legislation can be
expected. This offset the liquida-
ton of May Thursday, however, al
though unfavorable crop news was
ignored. Canada is getting a last
minute visit from, winter, which
means further delay to seeding. al
though supplying needed moisture.
Liverpool Opens Of
Liverpool opened lower and was
unchanged to Il cent lower at mid
afternoon.
The country is offering corn more
freely as planting progresses I'M
der favorable conditions. Wednes-
days export business was encourage
ling and leads some traders to be-
lieve declines will bring in more
business
While oats hold about steady.
there is no definite trend. The cash
demand remains active at times
with some, grain moving to the
northwest.

NEW YORK, April 21.-Prices at
noon today were unchanged from
Wednesdays close. Temperatures
for the week ending April 10, pub
lished this morning, carried the usu-
al plus and minus degrees which
are usual over so large territory
but those representing precipitation
all showed a deficiency, lend

later positions were purchased.
To us the market has the appear
ance of being as traders say sold

appeared in Thursdays Times:
An Indestructible Loss Proof
Watch-In 1880 Wallace William
of Charlotte, N. c., riding in an
open cockpit plane over the city,
accidentally dropped his wrist
watch at an altitude of about 1000
feet. Upon completion of the ride,
the passenger went home to ex-
plain his negligence and the loss
of his watch to friend wife. But
as he entered the front yard of his
home, he beheld his watch, strap
and all, lying intact under tree.
The crystal was unbroken and,
what is even more remarkable, the
timepiece still was running.
This unbelievable occurrence
has come to me we'll authenticated
and supported by proof.
A IL Mile Race With a Broken
Leg-After Earl Labertow ran one
and one-half miles with broken
leg in a two-mile race at Lincoln,
Neb.. Nov. 81. 1880. the broken
leg was X-rayed and clean frac-
tuTea Of the large bone was ascer-
tanned.
Fortunately, the ends Of the bone
did not separate, Or the damage
might have proved irreparable.
Labertew- became aware of an ex-
cruoiating pain at the. half mile
mark, without realizing, what had
happened.
He finished tenth in the race
and gave demonstration Of
Spartan grit and determination.
