Price Cim-ent says: “Our reports indicate that the surplus winter wheat tfates will start off with an average growth condition of not better than <3 per cent and abandoned acreage will average about 15 per ceut. Soil condition is mostly favorable but too wet in some portions of Ohio and Indiana. Almost entirely favorable in Illinois, Missouri, lowa and Nebraska but too dry In Kansas and Oklahoma. Spring rains needed In southwest.” New York wire says that it is probable some official announcement may be made Thursday us to formation of a corpora- ! lion to extend credits to foreign copper consumers. Thus far a score or more 1 of plans have been suggested and rare- , fully considered by copper Interests. One plan which meets with considerable favor calls for establishment of fiscal agents In prlclpal cities of Europe to ' pass upon credits for approval before j they are forwarded here. It ts expected Anaconda, Phelps Dodge, Guggenheim i and Calumet Hecla Interests will control ! the new corporation. Grain letter by wire from Chicago referring to the cash corn market savs: "There seems to be evidence that the cash corn situation is about to become easier. The lack of new demand displayed Is In- ! tiuencing the deferred deliveries. There is no weakness as yet in the market, but conditions seem to be shaping themselves for a gradual decline.” There was an unconfirmed rumor afloat In Chicago that Holland had made loan to Germany and that funds will be used to buy 3,000,000 tons of American corn end corn flour.

Dealers say they are unable to get any mangoes in the open market and that eastern dealers are bidding any price to supply their trade.
