GRAIN A1PR0DUCE Cash Wheat Situation is Dull, but Trade in Corn and Oats is Fairly Active. Omaha, May U, 191?. The cash wheat situation waa rather dull today, but there waa a fairly active trade In corn and oata, although both of thcit c 'rea In wertt quoted aomewhat lower. The wh-ut demand wai very poor and there waa not enough aala reported to give an exact Idea oC the trend of prices, although the market wu, In all probability, .nominally several cnnla lower. 1 The corn markot waa quiet, mainly on ac. oount of the Hfht recelpta of thla cereal, but the demand waa food afid while prlcea were quoted from H to IVio lower, the aampla aold quite readily on the decline, the tfiUee belnir pretty well cleaned up before the clone of the cash aeaalon. White corn waa t-ttll In ood demand at premium pricea. the margin, however, being a trlfla narrower than It waa yeaterday. The bulk of today'i talei of whit eorn were made at 11. MH, while the yellow aold from 11.43 H to 1.3 and the mlied ranted tn price from 91.62 to l.ft3, the bulk of the mixed, however, aelllnff at 11.624 nd 91.62 . The demand for oata waa not overactive, but light receipts had conalder- atilf) to ao witn ine nuiineaa or inia mar ket. Pricea on oata were quoted about lV&e to 14 a tower, with the bulk of the earn plea which graded No. $ white, selling at esfcc to 68 He. it ye was in gooa aemana ri a io advance and the Inquiry for barley was pretty actlvs at unchanged prices. Clearances were: Wheat and flour, equal to Cs, ooo bushel.; corn, 60,000 bushels; oats, 679.000 bushels.

Primary corn receipts were 481, 4L buaneis The nearness of general harvest operations tn Texas and Oklahoma also counted to some degree Id depressing prices. Lioweat quotations of the day tn the wheat pit cam durlrg the last hour and were aa ioclated directly with unconfirmed reports Lhat the German navy had lost heavily In a battle off Helgoland. Despite the In creased weakneas of the market, however, the amount of trading remained compara tively small. Enlarged country offerings here together with apparent complete stoppage of ship ping demand- from the east led to sharp breaks In the price of com. Besides, crop conditions were said to be Ideal. Oats went down grade in price owing chiefly to favorable weather. Selling of July Ind buying of September was a fa vorite operation. Provisions reflected the weakneas of the grain and hog markets. On the declines packers scorned to have turned to th buying aide. Chicago Cash Pricea Wheat: Nos. 1 and 3 red and No. 2 hard, nominal; No. t hard, I2.MT.

On very bearish advice from Chicago packers bid sharply lower at th outftst, and actually bought number of hog that war around lifl lowr. A a general thing, however, sellers would not make such large concessions and bulk of th hogs did not start moving; until pack ers had raised their hands to a 10c lower basis. Values continued to Improve as the morning advanced, and quit few sales that were mad toward the oloas were not over a nickel lower, whll some looked iirly ateady.
