Wheat closed irregular at %4c net decline to 4c advance, corn 5¢c to 1c down, oats 3%¢ to %2c off, and provisions unchanged to a setback of Te. Advices at hand today from serop experts said that between Terre Haute, Ind., and Danville, ll. +70 per cent of wheat acreage is dead. Moreover, in many fields that vhaye not been abandoned, there is ‘only half a stand or less. Quincy, ‘Ill., dispatches said that section will have not over one third of a crop, sand that the wheat acreage aban- +doned is being devoted to oats and jeorn, An authoritative trade summary *§ssued today, regarding abnormal - abandonment of wheat acreage in ‘soft winter wheat states east of the Mississippi says enough is already known to indicate an abandonment of at least 5,000,000 acres, with In- idiana, Ohio, Ilinois and Kentucky -acreage at least 50 per cent gone. 1A comforting thing, however, about this situation is that winter kill is ;so0 plainly evident that other crops). ‘will be substitutel on abandoned ‘acreage, thus reducing farmers loss sto seed and labor. : SUPPORT DEVELOPS ,ON WHEAT MARKET * Minneapolis, April 4.—(4)—Wheat ‘met heavy profit taking early and prices dipped a fraction, but sup- {port developed and in the last hour :a firm to strong undertone pre- -vailed, Futures lagged on a quieter trade. « Oats gained 1-4 cent early and tfell back with corn, Rye futures +Were quict and draggy, May sag- jging 1-2 cent.
