TRADING IN GRAIN
FUTURES DWINDLES
Volume Off Nearly so Per Cent
From Year Ago, but Still
Above 1885 Lull.
BY TIE Associated Press.

BY tie Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April ll.-Volume OF
trading in grain futures has slumped
almost SO per cent compared with
year ago, but it still is better than the
1896 doldrums.
Merchants have been handling a
large volume of actual grain as result
of big production last year and brisk
export demand for corn as well as
moderate wheat business to importing
nations.
However, the declining turnover in
contracts for future delivery, grain
merchants said today, indicates a
slowing up of commercial trading oper-
ations based on dealings between pro-
ducers, handlers, shippers and process
Sors
First-quarter trading on the board

grain futures contracts are made, to-

pared with 3,25O,OOO 900 bushels in the
first quarter of 1887 and 100000 900
IN the first quarter of 1896.
Trading in grains was expanding
year ago and the total for the year
was the largest since 1888, and, with
that exception, the best since 1881.
There has been no definite trend in
wheat futures trading volume since the
start OF the year. Business has ranged
from 84,O00,000 to $4,000 900 bushels

Freight rate increases are now in
