May 12—An early rising stock market tide backed up in the final hour today, substituting losses for gains of fractions to 2 points in many instances. It was another one of the dullest * sessions since last Summer. The close was irregular. Transfers were around 650.000 shares. The market did fairly well in the ' morning, but the advance on an ex i tremely small volume tended to dis | courage recovery proponents and some | of these, buyers at one time, turned sellers. The turnover was not much ! larger on the reaction than on the up turn. The European picture was a lit darker, as the Italians walked out ol the League of Nations council meet I ing and sanctions against the Musso I lini forces were continued, at least * ! until the League meets again, the mid S die ol June.

CHICAGO, May 12.—Two cents a bushel maximum drop in wheat prices today resulted largely from belief thal recent generous rainfalls had mors than offset Government crop figures. Announcement that a shipment ol low-grade wheat was coming to Chi cago from Buffalo, reversing the usual * movement of the crop, had a bearish influence, together with proposed fur ther shipments to Chicago from Mis souri River points. Predictions were current that the next official crop re port. a month hence, would show a substantial increase of probable do mestic yield of Winter wheat.

WINTER WHEAT CROP IS UNDER AVERAGE Forecast Is for 463,447,000 Bush els, Still 30.000.000 Above s Last Year. A Winter wheat crop of 463.447,000 bushels, 30.000.000 bushels more than ; last year, but nearly 185.000.000 . bushels less than average and 6 per cent below last month's estimate, was forecast by the Agriculture Depart ' ment today. The department blamed dry or told April weather for the indicated short crop, which would be the fifth light _ yield in succession. Abandonment of sovfti acreage was less this year than last, the report showed, but the condition of the crop • May 1 was only 67 per cent cf normal, ; compared to 75.3 per cent on the cor responding date of 1935. The department said a very marked improvement in weather conditions ' since the first of this month augured well for wheat and rye. Indicated pro . auction of the latter crop is more than 20,000.000 bushels less than in 1935, although double that of the 1934 • yield. FREIGHT LOADINGS. NEW YORK.
