WHEAT CROP SHOWS
RAPID RECOVERY
Some Permanent Injury Results
From April Frost in Texas,
Oklahoma and Kansas.

Be- the Associated Press.
The Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics said yesterday the American
winter wheat crop made rapid re-
covery during the last 10 days from
the recent setback caused by early
April frost in Oklahoma, Texas and
Kansas.
1t said. however, that some per-
manent injury to the crop resulted
from the adverse weather.
Rains were still needed in portions
OF the Northern Great Plains. the
Bureau said. adding that elsewhere
in the West winter wheat generally
was reported to be in excellent condi-
ton.
The crop was said to have made
excellent growth in most Of the Ohio
Valley. although occasional yellow
spots were reported on low wet land.
The bureau said no new estimate
Of the size Of the crop would be made
until next month. It's last estimate
was 725,000,000 bushels.
World estimates, the bureau said,
indicate that the 1888 acreage sown
to winter wheat will be about as
large as in 1887 when q crop larger
than normal was harvested.

Commodity Price
Changes for Week
BY A. A. PATTON,
Associated Press Statisticiar

noooSidlcu FicSS 0ldllStlCldu.
NEW YORK. April 23.-Commodity
prices moved narrowly this week, how
ering close to the years low in most
instances.
The Associated Press weekly index
of IS important wholesale staple prices
stood unchanged at 67.76 per cent of
the 1925 average and compared with
1887 a year ago.
The index this week equaled the low
for the last four years. For the first
time In two months. however, the
measure did not decline compared
with the previous period.
Gains and losses in the six major
groups making up the index were
evenly balanced. Food. textiles and
non-ferrous metals moved moderately
higher, while industrial commodities,
livestock and agricultural items dipped.
Slump to New Low.
Industrial raw materials chalked up
a new low for the year for the 18th
consecutive time. Bituminous coal,
steel scrap, turpentine. lumber, burlap
and tin were among the losers, hides,
rubber and zinc advancing
Pressure on quotations in this cate
CORY, commodity men hold, stemmed
largely from still-heavy inventories in
many important lines. Demand also
was slack, with few indications that
heavier purchases lay in the ofIing.
Textiles, on the other hand, ad-
vanced the scond week running for
the first time this year as buyers cau-
tiously made commitments necessitated
by spotty inventory conditions. Cot
ton cloth and silk rose fractionally
when wave of orders met light Offer
ings at lower levels.
Moderate pressure was felt by prin-
cipal farm staples. Official estimates
indicated large crops would be har-
vested this season If good weather con-
tinued to hold. Small setbacks in
corn, wheat, cotton, hogs and lambs
more than Offset mark-ups in cattle
and rye.
Food Items Mixed.
Market-basket items were mixed, al
though brisk demand for flour, lard
and eggs was sufncient to boost the
index despite declines in cocoa and
butter.

on 1925 as 100, compared as follows:

WHEAT RECEIVERS

Cash and Export interests
Cite 20-Cent Premium
at Liverpool.
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

CHICAGO, April 23.-Enough buy
ers appeared in the wheat pit today
after price drop of about a cent q
bushel at the opening to rally the
market and wipe out most Of the
losses during the remainder Of the
short session.
Support which the market found on
slight price recessions was credited
largely to cash and export interests
who. traders said, believed in the
value of domestic wheat particularly
in view of the 20 cents a bushel prem
ium in quotations at Liverpool and
the even greater difference in prices
at Winnipeg, where the highest wheat
figures in the world prevailed.
Bumper crop prospects and quiet
export business together with pros
poets of precipitation over much OF
the grain belt helped induce early
selling but this liquidation soon dried
up and short covering appeared on
the dip. There were reports of dust
blowing In some sections of winter
and spring wheat territory of North
America.
