CHICAGO, April 1.—Wheat to-day sold off t4c, largely on fine weather and enormous | world's shipments. | showed a decline of but %@%c, sensational crop | damage reports from California relieving the | pressure late In the day. The | message was not a factor, the contents of it being not generally known until trading for | the day was practically at an end. Corn, Oats and Provisions were all easier and left off at small declines from Saturday's final prices. The opening tone in Wheat was distinctly weak, July starting in at from $%c to Sc compared with Saturday's close of M%@St¥c. Several Influences combined to bring about the decline. Advices from Washingtop early were | of a more pacific character, and as a good deal of buying has been dome of late on the | beltet that impending hostilittes would bring about higher prices, this fact was responsible for more or less unloading. The weather West was very favorhble for farming opera- tions, and early crop reports were bearish. The Government crop report was expeoted to show a condition of §7, against SL5 last year, but un. certainty in regard to this and the fact that the forelgn markets were still closed had a | tendency to restrict trade all day. Small Northwestern receipts were apparently over- looked. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 211 cars, against 37 last week and 652 a year ago. Chicago receipts were 85 cars. The addition to contract stocks was large. Besides receipts of 41 cars of this grade from regular sources, 23 ars and 14,000 bushels were recelved from ing houses and a cargo of 70,175 bushels by lake, a total of about 145,000 bushels. World's shipments were enormous, amounting to 10,- 000 bushels. Liquidation, which started at the opening, was kept up without Intermission for some time, the price finally dropping to | 8314c. This was below the “‘put” price, and a | of these privileges, July reacting to S3%@sa¥c. | This show of strength lasted but a. sh:::uu::e The visible, which was expected to show a de. crease of about 1.000,000 bushels, proved a se- vere disappointment to the bulls, the decrease amounting to but 94,000 bushels. The market | quickly sold off again on this announcement | and the lowest prices of the day were re- corded. July got down to S34%@S3ic. The market then steadied somewhat on covering by shorts, but did not rally much until after the noon hour, when the great strength of the San Francisco market and decidedly sensa. tional reports of the Wheat condition in Call fornia put a different complexion on things and caused the best buving of the day, some really important short lines being covered. The California_reports were the worst so Te. ceived, a hot norther prevailing, with an ad. vance ‘of 4 2-10c at San Francisco. During the last hour of trading the market showed & good deal of firmness. The July price finally ad- vanced to §3%c and closed at that figure. Corn was very weak early. Fine weather and the break in Wheat started general selling, a | break of 3c resuiting. The market soon be- came dull Wwith narrow fluctuations until near | the close, when the raily in Wheat brought | buyers Into the market and prices rallied to the | best point of the day. May ranged from 293G | 28%c and closed %@i4c lower at 29%,@25%c. Oats in a general way sympathized with | Wheat and Corn, and ruled weak and lower on a moderate amount of trading. The fine | weather also counted. Demand was very light until near the end, when it improved on the ‘Wheat raily, the market closing fairly steady at some rally from the bottom. May ranged from 2%@%%c to 25%c, and closed a shade Lo st Provial ligh usiness in Provisions was light and mos of & scalping mature. Lower fox prices, e grain decline and the more peaceable prospect at Washington were, responsible for an open- ing decline, and the still lower prices which followed.
