REACTION IN WHEAT
Profit Taking at High Level
Checks Advance.
CLOSING IS IRREGULAR
Traders Believe Present Price Has
Dlncountetl Damage to Fall
Crop Decrease in World's
Available la Slow,
CHICAGO, April in. Although It eras
generally, conceded today that the failure
of the wheat crop throughout Illinois, In
diana and Ohio had been the worst for
more than 25 years, the trading community
reached a point where the conservatives
believed the price discounted the damage.
In consequence, the market closed easy, ic
lower to 3 He above last night.
Lively buying with higher values formed
the rul for wheat speculators a good share
of the time, but profit-taking sales took
on such dimensions as to cause a backset.
Careful attention was given to the fact
that the world's available supply aggregates
2s.0o0,000 bushels more than a year ago,
and that the rate of decrease as ahown last
week was only one-fourth as rapid as at the
corresponding time 12 months back. An
other offset to the crop damage was found
In reports from Nebraska, Kansas, Texas
and Oklahoma Indicating; exceptionally fine
conditions.
The first aggressive selling movement that
haa been witnessed of late developed in the
corn crowd. shutting down of sucli in
dustries as starch works end glncose fac
tories, that refused to purchase raw ma
terial at high prices, afforded a basis for
the bear raid. There also was news of
heavy offerings at Liverpool from Argen
tina. Constant reports of abandoned wheat
fields being seeded to oat weighed on the
latter cereal. Under a general rush to
sell, prices suffered a decided break.
lt wus a nervous market for provisions. A
good deal of changing took place, chiefly
by packers.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
