CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, April 26.-LR-Behav-
ing in what some traders said was
typical war market fashion, wheat
prices today slumped two cents a
bushel to the lowest levels since
April 10, showing a reaction OF
about five cents from the recent
three-year highs.
Selling was largely based on re-
ceipt of good to heavy rains in the
domestic southwest together with
prospects of more moisture in some
hard wheat localities and else
where in the United States grain
belt overnight. Heavy receipts at
some terminals, particularly in the
spring wheat zone, also added to
the weakness.
However, today's downturn, as
we'll as the weakness shown earlier
this week, came as no particular
surprise to many traders who said
the market was entitled to a re-
action after the sharp upturn that
followed the invasion of Scandi.
IldNld. IllCeS uOW are dUOuI louA
cents above quotations just prior
to that war development.
Wheat closed 1 3-S-2 IL cents
lower than yesterday, at the low
est point of the session, with Ma
I$1.07 5-S-1-2 and July $1.06 So
IL. Corn was 1.4-S-4 off, Ma
So 1854, July 81 3-S-1-4; oats
FL Is down; rye e IA off
and lard S lower.
Weakness of corn was largely a
reflection of wheat but the market
showed independent steadiness at
times due partly to steady spot
prices and receipts of only Is cars
and bookings and IS, 900 bushels.
Lake shipments included 345, 900
bushels for Buffalo and 223, 600
for Owens Sound.
Liquidation of May oats, on
which deliveries can be made be-
ginning Wednesday unsettled that
market while rye slumped with
wheat.
Lard followed grains despite
strength in hogs.

Trade interests took care of most
offerings in nearby months although
liquidation was ~noticeably light.
Only 8 transferable notices we're
issued against May contracts,
which were promptly stopped by a
leading spot interest.
Moderate selling appeared in new

orable weather in the belt. A good

south, cotton dealers said, should
