SEVERE D0WNTURNS
OCCUR IN CHICAGO
AFTER RAINEY talk
Announcement That Roosevelt
Opposes Silver Legislation
Brings Reaction

Chicago, April Is. - R - Severe
downturns of all grain prices Mon
day formed vivid contrast with con-
dittons q year ago, when quotations
started upward on account Of infla-
ton talk.
General liquidation prevailed in
grains Monday and prices went down.
hill rapidly following announcement
by Speaker Rainey that President
Roosevelt was opposed to silver legis-
lation at present. The direct Oppo-
site as to the course Of prices was the
case at this time last year, when one
OF the biggest bull movements in the
history Of the grain trade carried
wheat up about IS cents to $1.28ls a
bushel.
just before trading ended, all
grains broke the full limit allowed in
any single day.
Wheat collapsed S cents. corn 4
cents and oats cents a bushel. This
was the first time in many weeks
that the limit on one days fluctua-
tions has been effective.
An outbreak Of renewed liQuidating
9ssASS VA VAA~ pow VI AlOlOCXS VI IVxdy
corn and oats contracts led afterward
to sudden tumble of more than q
cent a bushel in corn values and drop
ped oats to a new bottom price record
for the season. Wheat prices reacted
when corn and oats turned weak.
Contributing to widespread bearish
sentiment, which became manifest at
this stage, was word from Washington
that Speaker Rainey said President
Roosevelt was opposed to enacting
any silver legislation at this session
of congress.
On the general downward swing of
grain prices May wheat went we'll be-
low "a cents and touched the lowest
point since Jan. S. Stoploss orders
to sell wheat were forced into execu-
ton by the break in quotations.
simultaneously. all deliveries Of bar
ley outdid the seasons low price re-
cord and silver futures were showing
a fall Of IS to IS cents. For the
moment, little power to rally was
shown by any cereal.
Provisions were responsive to down.
turns Of grain values.

MINNEAPOLIS FUTURES
TURN SHARPLY LOWER

Minneapolis, April 16.-(R)-Liqui-
dalton of May wheat futures and
silver news from Washington hit
wheat futures here Monday and sent
prices down within a fraction of the
peg limit.
Stoploss orders began to show VOL
ume late In the session. due to liquid
alton and with the arrival of a re-
port that President Roosevelt opposed
silver legislation at this session of
congress, prices dropped sharply,
closing 4ss-s. cents lower. Millers
failed to show much interest In wheat
offerings at any time and stocks turn
ed weak, adding to the selling pres
sure on grains.
May wheat closed 4Mc lower, July
4Ac lower and September 4ac lower:
Liquidation Of coarse grains shortly
after the opening was the beginning
influence in wheat. Barley broke
loose quite early in the session while
oats dipped sharply in sympathy. May
oats closed three cents lower and July
was 3-3hc down. Both May and July
barley finished SC lower while May
and July rye also were down five
cents. May flax closed four cents low
er and July SIC down.
Cash wheat receipts were more lib
eral but light for q Monday and de-
mand lacked just little Of the ag-
gressiveness shown late last week.
There was no change in comparative
prices and there was q ready outlet
for the offers. Winter wheat was
nominally unchanged while durum of
desirable milling quality was scarce
and in fair to good demand.
Corn demand was stronger from
order buyers and prices were up COM
pared with futures. Oats demand
was fair to good depending on quail
.ty. Rye demand was fair to good.
Barley was firm and unchanged for
anything disable for mailing purposes.
Flax offerings were fair and demand
good.
