WHEAT OPTIONS WEAKEN UNDER LIGHTSELLING Profit-Taking, Poor Support Factors in Small Decline. BY HAROLD E. RAIWILLE United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. April 17. Wheat prices dropped \ to 1 cent as the Board of Trade opened today. Scattered selling on the weakness in stocks and light profit-taking found support lacking. Action was not large, but the market easily was influenced. Prospects of some rains in the southwest was an influence. May led the reaction while the deferred months showed some resistance. Corn was to !i cent lower and oats was unevenly % cent lower to 's cent higher. The latter was on September, buying being stimulated by the crop difficulties. September barley shot up *1 cent at the start. Provisions were steady. Liverpool was closed today. More attention is being paid to inflation than to /actors surrounding the coming crop. Traders are backing their faith in currency expansion with buying orders, and while heavy profit-taking is met from time to time, the forward movement continues unchecked. Corn has been moving forward with wheat, but heavy profit-taking has limited advances. The upturn has increased country offerings of cash corn suggesting a larger movement despite the bad roads in the country. Wet weather in the middle west, particularly Indiana, Illinois and lowa, has stopped plowing and seeding of oats and the crop now is two weeks late. This has been a bullish factor for a fortnight.

The four-cay supply was sngntiy more tnan arnveu aunng tne co. responaing period last ueek. But daily marketings v>ere more nearly in line uita trade requirements. Traaing oefore miaueez uncovered some strengtn. particularly on luesaay nen most steers sold strong to 25c higher with she stock steady to strong. famy generous receipts Wednesday enaoiea buyers to reauce costs to some extent out naraly enougn to onset previous gains. The usual hot and corn spots appeared m the neiier market wun some purchases apparently a attte lower ana otners strong to higher, none of which were of sunicient volume to materially ahect the price level, cows held steaay ana closed strong toaay. Medium weight steers and several loads of good heavies continued to move m relatively large volume leaving yearlings and lightweights in second place numerically. Demand was norma! all along the line, however, and buyers who loosea lor soft spots were disappointed. Numerous ioads scaling from 1,120 to 1.300 pounds and grading medium to good cashea from $4 20 to $5 and better conditioned offerings within tne same weight range sold from $5,25*i5.80. Weightier bullocxs averaging 1.345 and 1,449 pounds cashed at $5 ana So 50. respectively. Better grade yearlings and lightweights bulked from $4 50fe5.50 and common grades cashed from $3.50©4. Excepting a small let of 1,320-pound heavies at $6 there was nothing offered to test prices within the choice grade. Choice hellers also were very scarce and most o. those available, excepting a load of lightweights at $5.75. cashed trom s4® 5. Occasional lots were noted from $5.10® 5.50 and common light dairy kinds downward from $3.75 to an extreme bottom of $2.75. Beef cows bulked from $2.50®3 25, only a few to $3.50 and low cutters and cutters again ranged from $1.50® 2.25. Vealer supplies expanded some but the same could not be said for the outlet so prices sagged from 50c to $1 since last Friday. Pre-Easter conditions were credited with causing part of the lassitude, but low quality and condition also was a factor. Strictly choice handyweights topped at $5 50 Thursday in a very small way with $5 a practical top for good vealers. compared with $6 last Friday and early this week. Common and medium kinds bulked from s2®4 and were little wanted at any price. —Hogs— An increase of around 7.000 head this week proved a little too much for the Indianapolis market to absorb at. unchanged prices and Thursday's quotations were generally 10 cents under those prevailing last Friday. All interests operated to the extent of their ability but were hampered in a large wav by an indifferent meat trade and rather generous daily supplies. Shippers accounted for approximately 9.500 of the 28.048 arivals to date this week and the balance went into packer hands. There was no change in the relative price position bv weight, practically all average from 100 to 400 pounds moving within a 15-cent range. While weights from 160 to 250 pounds were scheduled gt the maximum price, there was some preference for 190 to 220 pounds and frequently a 5-cent premium was awarded for desirable or outstanding quality. Price movement this week never was erratic and never more than 10 cents daily. Prices dropped a dime Monday, held steady Tuesdav. gained a dime Wednesday and lost it Thursday. For the four-dav period, good 160 to 350 pound selections bulked from $3.65®) 3.85. extreme top. $3.90 paid Wednesday and equivalent to the peak late last week. Extreme heavies were listed at $3.60. Light lights from 130 to 160 pounds bulked from $3.35® 3.65. and pigs cleared from $3.15® 3.35. Packing sows sold In an extreme spread of $2.75®,3.50 but a narrower spread of $3®3.35 took most good offerings. —Sheep— If the character of local supplies was a reliable index this was obviously cleanup week in many feedlots. Offerings consisted of some heavy wooled lambs, some clippers and several small lots of spring lambs and a large proportion of nondescripts of various weights and condition. Daily offerings were rather light and afforded a rather undependable basis for comparisons. Wooled lamps averaging 91 pounds cashed at $5.45 and a plainer deck of 89 pounds stopped at $5.35. Other heavies averaging from 101 to 112 pounds cleared from $5.10*15.25: good clipped offerings bulked at $5.50® 5.60. while low grades, both wooled and shorn, sold from s4® 5.10 Spring lambs started the week at $6.50® 7.50; but closed from s6® 7. or around 50c lower. Some rather undersirable springers sold down to $5 and less. The customary urge for spring lambs near Easter was absent this week and trading ruled slow' and somewhat indifferent. A few ewes sold from s2*? 2.75 with culls down to sl.

PRICE UPSWING IN COMMODITIES AIDSJSINESS Booming Markets Stimulate Trade in Agricultural Regions. BY MAX BUCKINGHAM United Press Financial Writer NEW YORK, April IT.—Booming commodity markets are bringing trade revivals into some agricultural regions. Stored wheat is beginning to move. The great plains country of Texas is witnessing the most spirited cattle business in three years. Some corn is beginning to move. One of the brightest reports came from San Angelo. Tex., in the heart of the cattle country, where every thought is concentrated on cattle raising and ranch life. Today there was an influx of cattle buyers—some even coming by airplane—to get the well-fed cattle that have been ranging on the vast plains near by. Cows which sold for S3O a head this spring are commanding $35 and S4O. Yearlings are up. Calves are advancing, and 70 to 90 per cent of the stock, according to Ft. Worth observers, is being purchased for slaughter. Wheat Stocks Moving Oklahoma reports its remaining stock of wheat is being drawn to the market as result of the 40 cents a bushel price the farmer can get for it now. Only about 3.000,000 bushels remain on hand. The farmers in the wheat region are getting from 40 to 45 cents a bushel for wheat now—a tremendous advance over recent prices—and in the corn belt 20 to 25 cents a bushel is being offered the farmer. In the Chicago area, near the great meat packing plants of the nation, hog raisers are getting an average of 3 2-5 cents a pound for fat hogs and 2 3-5 cents a pound for average butcher cattle. Meanwhile the American housewife is beginning to feel some slight effect from the rising commodity prices. In Dayton, 0., wholesale bakeries announced an increase in bread prices. Flour is rising in most cities. But the cost of ordinary commodities. in most cities, below the average cost of 1932. Pripjs Are Varied A comparison shows: Sirloin Pork Steak Chops Butter Flour 1932 Aver... 33 3c lb. 21.2 c lb. 27.4 c 320 New York.. 33c lb. 19c lb. 23c 2 250 St. Louis ... 25c lb, 17c lb. 25c 305 c Denver ... 25c lb. 13c lb. 25c 2.50 c Kansas City. 25c lb. 15c lb. 19c 4 60c Chicago .... 20c lb. 11c lb. 21c 4 50c San Fran 20c !b 17c lb. 22c .... The prices on these products were taken from the larger chain groups and in the case of San Francisco the prices were the longest quoted with considerable range, depending on the stores. San Francisco reported two to three cents advance in all meats recently. Bread prices remained stationary in most cities. Meanwhile the commodity markets particularly the grains—slackened late last week on the Chicago Board of Trade but still maintained most of the tremendous advance made in the last two weeks. The prices, however. are considerably under those of a year ago inasmuch as grain prices went through a bullish demonstration one year ago on the basis of a government crop report.
