Quite a lot of bear news was unexpectedly uncovered and while the market displayed an early flash of stability, prices soon melted under general selling. Wheat closed 1 6-8®2 l*8c lower, corn 7-8® 1 3-8c off. oats 1 2®6-8c down, rye 7-8® 1 l-4c lower, and bar ley closed unchanged. With grains on the downgrade and the selling coming through houses that have been most active on the buying side, the trade was led to be lieve that the government action In connection with the New York Sugar exchange loomed as a warning to bullish operations in grains. Other grains sold off in sympathy with wheat. Many Corn Bull* Switch. Weakness In whea** encouraged selling pressure In corn. Many of the recent hulls were credited with changing on the market and were pressing the selling side. Considerable selling of May and buying of the July was under way. News was little changed. Oats came out In sympathy with the drop In wheat. Commission houses gen erally took the selling side, while shorts bought on the dips. Rye dropped with wheat. There waa less buying by exporters, while the selling through commission houses took the edge off the market. Provisions ruled steady. Liquidation was less In evidence. Lard closed un changed and ribs were unchanged to 5c lower. PI I Note*. The Ka i«as state report showing the condition of winter wheat at 78.1 com pared with 73.9 last year, proved a factor in the market today. Considerable selling was based on this report, Inasmuch as It showed a much higher condition than the April government report The latest re port, however, did not include the aban doned acreage. The government report estimating a re duction of 5.6 per cent in the area te be sown to wheat was novel in charac ter. The trade had been led to believe that spring wheat acreage would be great ly reduced this year because of the late seeding, the labor shortage and the cam paign in the northwest for crop diversifi es! ion. The forecast for the western areas of Kansas and Nebraska was for freezing temperatures The trade took this as a decided bullish Indication, In view of the recent rainfall, but the general influ ences of the day were sufficient to keep the market In lower ground. Farm field work Is 10 days to two weeks late in northwest Iowa, northwest Nebraska and South Dakota, according to more than 100 reports received at Sioux City from widely scattered district*. In most instances spring small grain seeding is nearly completed. There has been com plaint of insufficient moisture, but this was relieved quite generally today by a drizzling rain. CHICAGO MARKETS.

By Cnlvvnwl Service New York. April 20.—Declines of from 1 to 2 points In the most active Issues In the stock market today ap peared to uphold the warning issued by Jesse L. Livermore, the sugar in vestigation and cuts in the prices of gasoline and crue oil. The sugar investigation has shaken the speculative foundation in the stock market, as many speculators believe it may be the forerunner of similar steps in other industries which, be cause of unusual expansion, might at tract the attention of the federal authorities. The apprehension entertained on this score in otffPJ directions found reflection in a sharp break in the cotton market. The warnings now be ing sounded will prove constructive in the long run, as they will "prevent un due expansion and thus prolong the prosperity now being witnessed. Rail Share* l/owrr, Sugar*, oils and equipment* were under most pressure. Hails were sympathetic ally lower, bur offerings In them were comparatively light. Practically no at tentlon was paid to a decline in the call money rate to 4 per cent. Except for a short spell of resiliency around noon, the market was heavy all day. Reduction in the price of gasoline by ' the Standard Oil of New Jersey, coming Just at the beginning of the season when the demand Is the heaviest, caused much surprise, but is a natural atep In view of the recent reductions In the prices of crude oil. Cuts have been announced for ) practically every low grade oil field with 1 only one light grade reduction Some of | the largest producers in the midcontinent i field are surprise*! that a cut for that I district Has not been announced by the i Prairie Oil A Gas, which usually assumes ! the leadership for that territory. Reduction Explained. The explanation given by the Standard Oil of New Jersey for it* reduction In the I price of gasoline was It* transportation of California oil to the east In tankers I This explanation is one of the biggest I bull arguments on California Petroleum and throws some light on the unusually good absorption of that stock which was witnessed the last two days. The heavy production In California In former years worked to the disadvantage of companies in that territory because the Rocky moun tains acted as a barrier to the eastern markets The Panama canal has solved this problem The falling off In Mexican production has also helped materially. Callforn a Petroleum. however, reacted with the balance of the prominent oils. Optimism rules In the tobacco depart ment. The tobacco business Is considered cne of the most stable. Quietness in the general bond market was relieved somewhat by activity and strength In some foreign government is sues. Sugar convertible* were under pressure. Ralls were quiet but firm.
