CHICAGO, March 20. — Wheat tmarned downward im price today dur- ing the early transictions, general selling being induced by lower Liver- pool quotations and by favorable weather for the domestic winter crop.

Uperations gn the Lendbridge well. section 845-63, will be resumed in the near future for completion of the test. A strike in this well, in which good oil showings already have been en. counterel, would extend the Osage field several miles to the southeast. Baxiey and Short are assembling materials for a test well on section 1-45-63, some two miles from the Landbridge weil. Omaha and Deadwood headed by John H. wood, are to drill a test on Fiddler creek this year, the location being three miles west of the Thornton- Tlark well on gection 1-45-64. More Casingfor Well.
