Corn Holds Strong Despite
Heavy Receipts. With Business
Comparatively Light.

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.
Chicago. De-. I9-p.crsassd re- aipis in
the Northwest formed th.. principal reason
for a firm wheat market to-day. At the
close May whe.t showe, a gain Of 10

Provisions an up - to l"c.
The wheat market showed greatest
strength soon after tn" opening on a
shorts sentiment at tn" start was bullish.
Initial quotations ON May wee up lsc to
l.c at *l.!1"s To 81. The main cause "a
tn. urgent demand was a sharp falling
Off i'll receipts Ii the Northwest.
Another factor that entered into the
situation. however. was Il decrease III the
amount on passage. together with an ir-
crease in worlds shipments. i notice
able feature Of the statistics Of the worlds
movement was the smallncss OF shipments
from Russia. Advices from Minneapolis
toid do. Of good demand for cash wheat;
still further until May sold IN In 81 III.
For a tim" the market held firm. the
strength being apparently: due more TO
scarcity of offerings than To any great
demand. Bu!lish reports concerning the
condition cf wheat crop in Kansas helped
to support prices Late in the day. senti-
ment became somewhat easier on profit
taking and on selling brought out by d
considerable increase in the visible sup
ply. The weekly report of Cincinnati
trade journal was also construed as being
slightly beariSh According to this au-
thority III" SHOWS and rains cf the past
week have afforded tho wheat crop par
tial relief from the prevailing drought
While the ground IA still dry. existing
conditions on the whole were claimed to
be quite favorable.
After a reaction to s. Jos. al. lGTs the May
option closed al sl.il. a fairly firm under
tone being manifested Mt the finish. Clear

CORN.
Considering the enormous total receipts
the corn market had fairly firm tone
the greater part of the day. The volume
of business was comparatively light \
feature of trading was the approximate
value OF the May and Dec. deliveries. The
feature in wheat was the influence that
offset the effect Of liberal local receipts

certainly demonstrates this to be
an age of necessity. Rewards are
not to be accorded to the amount of

more spirited the competition, the
better must be the systems adopted.
