Liquidating Sales of Magnitude Are Believed to Be at an End for the Present. CHICAGO. May IT. Strain In tha wheat trade, although unmistakably evident today, diminished when the fact became clear that no person or firm would ba obliged to sus pend. Signs of a revival ot flour business and of demand for cash wheat cut a figure in partly restoring confidence, but not until the market had fallen more than 2 cents below lust night's level. A majority of dealers thi evening wera Inclined to believe that liquidating sales of nnususl magnitude wera at an end for ths present, unless something radically different should develop as to the crop outlook. Ad vices today, especially from the West and also from elsewhere continued to be of ths bearish sort. Experts In Ohio, nevertheless; sent word of more forbidding conditions than the original showing which was msdo when tests wera first possible as to ins effect of Winter killing. - The worst decline In wheat today seemed to result from ths throwing overboard of weak holdings In tha cash market where the calls for margins had met with no re sponse. But big decreaaea In stocks t Mlnneapolla and Duluth. counted In favor of a rally and so did tha noteworthy sta bility of prices serosa the Atlantic.
