Widespread snow, directly a benefit to fall-sown grain, carried car-ried down the price of wheat today, but the far southwest, where moisture would be of" the greatest help, received but little. lit-tle. In consequence, the decline was checked, with closing figures showing a not loss of only c to Sc. The day's trading left corn unchanged to a sixteenth lower; oats off a. shade to lc and provisions not altered more than a nickel either way. Good snow covering was reported all through Indiana. Ohio. Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri. Nebraska and Iowa. On the other hand, practically no rain or snow foil In Texas. Oklahoma and southern Kansas. An unexpected big Increase in the visible supply hnd a similar drawback draw-back as a bear Influence. Nearly everybody every-body was skeptical of the figures and il was asserted the total was made to correct cor-rect former errors. News regarding tho French tariff proved another two-sided affair. Throughout the session there was no Improvement In cash demand. Tho tono of the close remained easy and might well be called weak. May fluctuations ran from 95Hc to 963c, with last sales at 955c, a net loss of c compared with forty-eight forty-eight hours previous. Corn was firm most, of the day. but finally weakened a. trifle. May ranged between 50c and 50?c, closing a shado off at the first named figures. Cash corn was steady. No. 2 yellow finished at 472fi?MSc. Unmlstakahlo donrr-sslon coased the trade In oats. Lowest points thus far on tho crop wero rcachod. but there was some reaction. re-action. May varied from 32Sc to 33JSo atid closed c net. lower at 323."2Ic.
