INDLIX WHEAT ACREAGE LESS
Exports From This Tear's Crop Promise to
Be Very Small.
The first wheat forecast of the govern
ment of India for the 1920-21 crop, based
upon re-ports of the area sown up to the
beginning of January in the provinces and
states which comprise 98.6 per cent of the
total wheat area of India, estimate the
total wheat planting at that time as 22,
973,000 acres, compared with the eetlmate
of 27,425.000 acre at the corresponding
time last year, the far eastern division of
the bureau of foreign and domestic com
merce states. This represents a decrease
of 16 per cent. "
The" final estimate of the wheat' yield
from the 1919-20 crop wa 10,000,000 ton,
and while it la too early to estimate what
relief may have bee.n provided by rains
since the first of the year. It Is probable
that both the ultimate acreage and the.
yield per acre will be less this year than
last. The prewar wheat requirement of
India Itself have been estimated at about
9,000,000 tons, which indicate that the
exportable surplus from the current crop la
likely to be comparatively negligible.
The department of revenue and agri
culture oc the government of India on
December 18, 1920, decided to permit ex
portation of 24,000 ton more wheat flour
staring - the period October-December,
twinging the total allotment of wheat
dour for export for the year to 96,000
Sons, which compares favorably with the
average of 67,000 tons of wheat flour ex
ports daring the three prewar years.
JFAMXLT XXOUB DECLINES 40 CENTS
; Grade of Patent Will Sell at 88.60 is
Local Market Today.
Local flour millers yesterday announced
reduction of 40 cent a barrel in all
grades of family flour. The new prices
will be effective this morning. The best
family patent will be listed at $8.80
barrel.
A larger decline was looked for, la view
of the sharp tall In wheat prices. It is
probable that when the wheat market
finally reaches bottom, and many dealer
think It 1 near that point, flour price
will be sdjusted more closely to wheat
values. Until market conditions are more
settled, flour buying is likely to. continue
light.
The decline did not affect bakers grades
of flour, which remain at $7.25.

NEW YORK, April . Relaxation . of
money rates infused a strong undertone
to the broader stock market today, many
favorite issues registering gross gains of
1 to nearly 4 points.
Prices were irregular and uncertain at
the outset. The list went ranidly forward.
however, after call money opened at 6 per
cent, establishing the minimum initial rate
since January 20, and easing to 514 per
cent.
In the open market demand money was
freely obtainable at 5 and even 4V4 per
cent. Rates for time funds were mixed,
60 and 90-dav Inam being negotiated at as
low as 6V4 per cent, while bank acceptances 4.70c
and discounts were unaltered.
Other hopeful development embraced
resumption of operations by a large inde
pendent steel mill and several better state
ments of earnings bv leading raliroaoe.
Foremost beneficiaries of today' tock
market movements were the oils, motors
and their subsidiaries. Steels and railway

CHICAGO, April 5. Wheat dropped to
day to the lowest prices touched this sea
son by th July delivery. Removal of
any likelihood of a dry weather scare
was largely resnonaible. The market
closed heavy, 1V4 to 414s net lower, with
May $1.86 to $1.3614 and July $1.104
to $1.1114. Corn finished unchanged to
14o off and oats at 14 o decline to 14 o

gains of 214c to 35c
Under the bearish Influence of rains
in Kansas, Oklahoma and Nebraska, wheat
dipped at the start, but quickly rallied,
owing to gossip that export interests were
contracting . for new wheat. Besides,
Washington advices that the emergency
tariff bill would receive quick favorable
action In the house helped to stimulate
buying. In the last hour, however, opin
ion became general that rainfall had
been so heavy that no lack of moisture
would be felt for an Indefinite period.
Prices then broke rapidly and finished
near the bottom.
Corn and oats sympathized with wheat,
but in the late trading were steadied by
talk of liberal exports of corn.
