caused 4 strong market here to-day. At
the close May delivery vas up &4F7sc.
Corn and oats both show Il gain of &c.
Provisions are up a shade 10 l5c.
Irrespons!ye cables and reports of excel
lent harvest weather IN Argentine caused
considerable selling Of wheat at the open
ing. As a result sentiment in the pit was
rather weak Ia.si4l quotations on May
were a shade to isgl.c lower at $685. 70
sI1I, As an offset to the bearish infu-
ence however. receipts in the Northwest
were again extremely light and prospects
Of an increased movement were said to be
very meager
a message from Minneapolis stated that
Indications pointed 10 sharp falling off
OF receipts. inasmuch several large eie-
vator companies in that section had
stopped shipments.
Following higher prices for wheat to-
day in Northwestern markets. many Min
neapolis commission houses were active
buyers here. This started free covering by
locaI shorts. With only Moderate ofer-
iHgs. prices gradually advanced Later in
reports from the Southwest asserting an
impending scarcity OF wheat for milling
purposes.
Advices from Kansas City quoted one of
the most prominent Elillers IL Kansas as
sayins the rnillsrs OF that State hav.. only

go reported receipts of 457 cars against
l3s cars last week and 4SI cars a year
ago.
CORN.
Persistent buying of the May delivery
by prominent elevator concern was
the feature OF trading In corn. The VOL
uEne OF business was larger than wit
messed for some time. Reports from the
country indicated an active demand for
corn for feeding purposes. With the ex-
ception OF slight depression at the start,
the market was firm throughout the en-
tire day. May opened unchanged TO a
shade lower at t4ieGi;'sc to 555sc, sold up
10 &slsc and closed at 45c. Local re-

Strength OF wheat and corn was one
factor responsible for firm tone in the
