GOOD OKLAHOMA OUTLOOK Prices Recede, but Are Rallied by Unfavorable Advices From Other Sections Large Cash Sales Help Steady the Market. CHICAGO, April 30. Improved crop con ditions throughout the Weil, but especially In Oklahoma, sent wheat trader today to the bear lde. The close was nervous, vary ing from v-,c lower to Vc advance as compared with last night. Belief that th. price of wheat had not descended as much ss beneficial rains would Imply leal to selling pressure at the outset. Ha-ksets wre not great, however, until the anliouncemlait of the Oklahoma atata report showing a crop condition of 87 aa against 74 a month ago and Indicating a probable yield of 2r.5t".000 bushels compared with 9.0no.0i0 bushels last year. Delayed seeding northa-est served to re strain the downward tendency and to some extent did official acknowledgment that the Ohio crop was almost a failure. A still better rally near the end of the session came as a result of th big cash sales here and the chartering of lake tonnaae. Talk of a good demand southwest had a stimulating effect on corn prices. Another bullish Influence was th. fsct that deliveries tomorrow, although espeoted to be large, were thought to be destined for strong hand. In oats, tha great discount of values under corn brought about a rally except for May. which waa suffering because of liqui dating sales duo to the proximity of de livery day. Pusg-estlons that abnormally high prices for packing house products would causa se rious curtailment of consumption led to . a lower quotation today. A large run of hoga here and west had considerable influ ence In the same direction. Pork reacted the most. 10 to 27 Vic. Tha leading; futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open.
