In view of the strong demand and the heavy or ders on hand, 1t seems inevitable that prices will go higher This condition terests whose Influence has been futile in attempting to check the upward tendency.

In addition to the cold weather reports which came from all sections of the winter wheat belt. 1t was claimed that the green oug had survived the cold weather in better shape than had the wheat crop, ana 1t Is still active Another source of strength was the statement made by a local crop ter wheat crop at about 10OOO0,0OO bushels less than that of last year. The best part profits in sight. The market closed strong and close to the highest point. Deliveries on May contracts were nearly 100000 bushels which was more thar nad been gen orally expected
 The grain, however. was taken largely by influential houses which fact operated to prevent the enormous deliveries from exert ing a weakening effect on the market

Shorts were eager bidders for the May option while investors bought freely of September. An advance of one to two cents in the price of cash grain strengthened options. The close was strong.

Iron Trade Review,

Cleveland May 1.-The Iron Trade Review, in its current issue says:
 The pig iron market has developed surprising strength. Following the heavy buying of steel making irons re- gently reported, orders in large vol ume for all grades of pig iron have been placed, and this week there has been a sharp advance in quotations in all sections of the country. In the South no iron can now be obtained at $lS.5O. and the leading producer is asking $2O for number two foundry Birmingham for delivery during the last half of the year. Several very large interests are practically out of the market for the third quarter and the supply for the last quarter is limited In the East and Central West. conditions are also very strong. Re- ports to the Eastern Pig Iron Asso- citation indicate furnaces sold up five or six months in advance and in the valleys, Buffalo, Cleveland and Chica- go districts available supply for the remainder of this year is very small, some furnaces having sold their en-
