The decline of 5 to 6 cents per ou.hel In the May and July wheat option made Itself felt In the cash riarket of the Omaha Grain ex change and prices were 2 to 7 cents cff for the first time In several weeks, wheat dropping to $1 per bushel. Most of the sales, however, were made at higher prices, the top of the day being $1.08. The receipts were 119 carloads. Stories cf heavy losses by Omaha gralnmen Thursday were entirely with out foundation. On the other hand, most of the dealers added neat sums to their surpluses. When the decline started Thursday morning- there were plenty of exchange members who were long- on wheat, bought at much higher prices, but instead of seeing their profits dwin dle away as cash grain kept going lower and lower, they started to sell the May option, and generally when the books were balanced at the close ot the session, they were money ahead. This was due to the fact that while cash wheat declined 1 to 2 cents, the May option was ofr 6 to 1 cents, 'ineir profit was the difference between the cash price and the option. Friday the May option continued to go lower, getting down to I1.16V4. and while there were several dealers who were long on actual wheat, by continued sell ing of the option, they figured that on the whole they were far ahead of the game. Corn was steady, selling a cent up to a cent down and around 68 and tn cents per bushel. Receipts were ninety-eight carloads. Oats were off IK, cents, selling at 374 and 41 cents, with a light demand. The receipts were eight carloads.
