The bearish nature of the M ' Kansas crop report had also a per- H ceptiblo influence. On the other M l hand, the fact that weather condl- H ' tions northwest threatened further M delay to spring seeding operated B somewhat as a check on decliues. H Opening quotations, which varied M from the same as Thursday's finish H to l-2c lower with May at 113 3-4 to 1 I 114 and July at 113 3-8 to 5-8, wero H followed by slight rallies, and then a m decided setback all around. H I Corn eased off with wheat. Ware- H ' house Interests took a conspicuous H part in the selling. After opening H 1-Sc off to l-4c up, the market hard- B I ened a trifle, and then underwent a H .ii moderate general sag. H ' Oats showed sympathy for the H weakness of other grain.
