CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, April 24.-Wheat started rather
firm, but offerings freer than could be
absorbed at the opening prices, and the tend
ency became downward The weakness did
not last long, however and a reaction set in
that put short sellers to rout and sent prices
up with considerable energy. The rainfall was
reported insufficient in the dry belt and crop
reports were generally unfavorable especially
so from Michigan. The announcement of a de-
crease of 1923, 900 bushels in the visible in
stead of only about 500 900 bushels reduction
had been expected furnished the bulls with
plenty of ammunition. There was also a

a gain of &4QIsc. There was a better demand
for May than July, and the discount was
narrowed to NC July closing at 73b@74c.

visible supply of !, 607 900 bushels and the
probable opening of lake navigation tomorrow.
Shorts covered freely. Country offerings were
light. May opened a shade higher, at 340341sc
closed with buyers at 3413G345sc.
Oats followed wheat and corn. Shippers
bought heavily against cash sales. Country
longs liquidated freely but offerings We're
readily absorbed and the improvement was
maintained. The visible decreased LOCO bush
