A[*ll The. wheat market was a choppy an.l nervous affair since the publi cation of tha government report, and it was a slow •in.l narrow market, with an easier tendency earlier. In the main the govern- j ment estimate was lass than expected, but It nevertheless wa* variously construed. Th* condition of 80.8 compared with M.I a year ago. and m as the average for April 1 for th« lost ten years. Th« acregae as needed last fall and not since rovlsed «m 33.483.000, aa compared with 29,884,000 acres ■ year ago. Present Indicated yield of winter wheat Is now about 473,000,000 btuhals, Mainat I! i.000.000 In- I dicated a year ago. Actual harvested crop was 446.0iJ0.00!) bushels, from H. 130.00 acres, winter win at, last year. Th« week* statis tics an depressing. The corn market wa» a very nervous affair an.l the. volume of trading was liberal. To tal trade, however, not up to yesterday* enormous volume. While th» prevalent senti ment was a little better, the Improvement was slow, cause.l by the large stocks In all direc tions, end the offerings that are pressing on the market both went and cast. This market has had corn offered today from Minneapolis, Omaha and Kansas City, also Milwaukee and the eastern bids are almost a minus quantity. It was reported No. '■' corn sold in Philadelphia equal to 3D cent* Chicago, distress corn. Oats followed corn. The market was fairly active, but flighty within reasonable price lim its. r*aan demand, however, showed consider able linprovemont, and there Is quite a con tingent turning to the bull side on the theory that the wont Is over.
