MAY SLUMPED 21C, BUT GOT BACK ALL BUT 7 1-2C.

CHICAGO, May 4.—Excited breaks of 7%c to 21c a bushel in the value of wheat, resulted from the introduction of a government bill at Washington, to regular food control, and from announcement that Canada and the United States would co-operate in ruling on the cost of wheat on the whole North American continent In ten minutes, however, the wheat market here had rebounded to within Sc of the highest quotations or, record. Many convulsive changes ensued, and half an hour after the opening the market came almost to a standstill, both as to fluctuations and

business.

Nothing except the news from Washington and Ottawa seemed to attract the least attention in the wheat pit. Even the announcement that be ’Winn!

ncipal options. May and scarcely any notice The

MaV delivery here showed the biggest fall in value, but trading in May was confined to limited dealings. July, in which the great rush of transactions took place, suffered an extrema drop of ll%c and then a rally of 7%c, In the wheat market, as a whole, opening prices ranged from 3%c to 21c lower, with May at 82.69^2.63 and July at f2.19®2.22. Further breaks followed In July and September, with July going down to 82.16 before beginning to react. On the later upward swing May Jumped ie«c between trades, and the oscillation or the other months was hardly less

violent.

.Sharp declines and a brief renewal of activity were witnessed after midday, owing to rumors that President Wilson's friend. Colonel House, would go to Berlin. The descent carried July down to 82.16%, but lack of any confirmation of the rumors led to another rally. The close was nervous, 4c to 7%c net lower, with May at 82.72%, and July at 12.19%® Itelatlva stability characterized com. oats and provisions as compared with

wheat.

Throughout the session corn reflected the action of wheat. Closing prices were unsettled at %c to l%c net de-

cline.

Com dropped 3%c, oats l%e and provtsiona In aome cases 66c. Resting orders in the hands of commission houses checked the decline In com Offerings were light. Belling of provisions was fairly liberal. Except In tne ease of pork, though, d< dines did not surpass fee. a setback not unusual on an ordinary day.

NEW YORK SUGAR UP.

Sugar prices are being quoted at 17.56 to 88.86 a hundred pounds in New York, an advance of 56c, at the high point, over previous quotations. Local dealers have complained for several weeks that the New York official quotations were below what the dealers here had to pay for their supplies, but the advance to l!LB» brings the price to what they say they have had to p*y.

HINTS FOR SATURDAY MARKETERS

While the corner grocer and his clerks were all busy, Mrs. Spriggs, of the boarding house, looked at the baskets and boxes, wondering about the prices. Her eye happened to rest on Texas onions, as the merchant sidled up to her. "They're cheaper, Mrs. Spriggs." he said, encouragingly. "My boarders are not strong on onions,” she answered. “Not as strong as the onions are on them, eh?” he asked, as he chuckled at his ready wit The sturdy provider found she could All her week-end grocery order at a considerable reduction of prices on many other articles besides onions. Green stuff of nearly all kinds is cheaper and the quality offered is above the average. In a few cases the reduction in prices is merely a lower basic range to include all the varieties of stock offered.

Official Condition Improved, But the Acreage Shows Decrease. COLUMBUS, O., May 4.—Condition of wheat in Ohio with an average for ten years is S3 per cent., as compared to 65 per cent, at this time last year, but tl^ere will be a decrease of 3,500,000 bushels, compared with the ten-year Average yield, according to the official report of the board of agriculture of Ohio, issued by Secretary N. E. Shaw. The decrease is due to a falling off of the average acreage of approximately 230,000 acre*, although there is an increase of 264,000 acres this year over the acreage of last year. The condition of winter rye and winter barley is some better than wheat. The area in oats is about a ten-year average. There is a comparatively small loss to the different classes of live stock. Many counties reported that peaches were entirely killed by late freezes. Farm help is scarce.
