SCRAMBLE BY SHORTS
May Wheat Advances Rapidly
in Chicago Pit.
CORN AND OATS HIGHER
Provisions W ere Weaker
Losing Considerable Value.

Chicago May ia scramble by shorts
to get out of the market today sent the
price of May wheat to the dollar mark,
an advance of 3l4c. The closing price
for May was S9c. July wheat closed 80
lc up and September nc higher. Corn
is unchanged to 1sQ14c higher. Oats were
up &c to 12q4sc. Provisions closed log
15c off
The rapid disappearance of cash wheat
in local elevators and the near approach
OF the hnal delivery day served TO start
general demand for May with rush
to cover and that option stiffened. with
the release of holdings of July and Sep
TENDER. Starting with a gain of sc to
4Wssc, July advanced steadily with but
one sale of sufficient weight to carry I'M
der the opening. A disposition on the
part of pit traders to play for a break
after the early advance carried July
back to Sac and September to s14sc.
The large owners of the deferred op-
tons, however, held aloof and the clamor
for May showed the popular views as
to the present scarcity and prospective
supply of the grain. The net result was
a gain of &c to i4Qssc in July, at SsAQ
SS1sc, and of sake in September, at SIC.

a decline in some of the foreign markets
the bulk of the news was bullish. A
decrease of 100000 bushels in the visible
supply was predicted and primary re-
ceipts were light, being only HESS BUSH

made % for the three points, compared
with 10 cars last week and 139 cars a
year ago.
Corn shorts were disposed to cover,
although business was not on a large
scale. Final trades showed gain of
1s@14c in July at 4SIsd 4S14c, after a range
of 47esG4s12c September touched 4724c and
closed unchanged, at i7asc, a shade above
the bottom. Loca receipts were i6 cars.
Oats were strong. July and September
being helped by May. which was very
much in demand by nervous shorts who
looked fearfully upon the decreasing
contract stocks and the small movement.
: uly closed 15gssc higher, at 3Sts63Ss4c,
having sold off at Csc. Local receipts
were IS cars
The big speculative short lines in pro-
visit5ls which have been the support of
values for weeks were not in evidence
today and prices suffered. There was a
liberel selling credited to packers. but
trade on the whole was light, with only
little outside interest in the market. July
