Wheat Is Depressed
By Favorable j. ).
Crop Reports
Chicago Prices Close
u to u Of Cent OFF
In Light Trading
By FRANK BRUTTO,

!
CHICAGO. April Favorable do
mestic winter wheat crop reports
today more than offset European
political uncertainty. Wheat prices
fell as much as "a cent a bushel
temporarily with the close NJ
down. Trade was light.
Throughout the session most trad
ers favored the sidelines, awaiting
word of Hitler's speech. The be-
lief that April reports of the United
States winter wheat crop, due early
next week, would prove bearish,
also restrained traders.
Influenced by stronger than due
Liverpool quotations, the market
here opened about steady, but later
declined as early buyers evened up
their position and found light de-
mand. Both May and July fell to
67l2, but at that level found better
support and reacted to near the
previous close.
Wheat closed '.-12 down, May
67a4-7s, July 675s-@4; corn ls-14

changed to cents down.
Winnipeg wheat closed 1s-sa down,
Minneapolis unchanged to Is lower
and Kansas City 1s-l. down.
Corn moved slightly lower. Ex-
port business was negligible. The
Commodity Credit Corp. announced
loans were made on 13,896,576 BUSH

ket closed ls-l4 lower in the face
