WHEAT PRICES CLOSE STEADY is Rally Takes Place After July Touches New Low Record CHICAGO, March 27.—Corn suf- fered such a sharp break in price today soon after the start that it was almost fmpossible to execute many orders to sell out and stop losses at pre-arranged limits. May delivery of corn was especially de- pressed, going under for the first time i weeks, and then dropping to 75%c. Weather likely to promote rural delivertes was a factor in over? turning quotations, and so too was cheapness of offerings in the east. Initial prices, which varied from un- changed figures to one cent lower, with May 76% to 77\c were follow- ed by an irregular descent all around. Subsequently persistent Nquidatip< sales on the part of scattered hold- ers nullified rallies. The close was unsettied 1% to l%c net lower, May 75% to 75%. Wheat and oats fell in sympathy with corn, but then received better support. After opening at %@%c off to 1% cent gain, May 1.01% to 1.01% and July $1.03% to $1.03% the market declined about one cent n some cases before beginning to recover. May and July deliveries of wheat ouched a new low record price for the season, but the market appearea to hold well at $1.01 for May. The close was_unsettled 4% net tower to % up, May $1.01% to $1.01% and July $1.03% to $1.03%. Oats started at %oc lower to an equal advance, May .45% to 46.
