Chicago, May 1.-WHEAT-Libera
advances in the foreign markets COM
bined with an oversold condition in the
local market furnished a strong and
higher market. The ready prices. how
ever, were lower. the weakest Of the
day. Bountiful rains throughout the
state of Kansas stimulated the selling
pressure at the opening. After these
offerings were absorbed. the market
recovered quickly The July sold over
81 90 from an opening around 9S cents.
The bullish Influences were more
numerous than ever. particularly the
foreign situation. German markets
were reported higher and excited,
caused by the buying OF wheat and rye
for the account of Russian dealers,
based on the bad crop damage reports
in the latter country. Kansas had the
same class OF damage reports as here
tofore. 1t was reported that green
bugs had appeared In several sections
OF Minnesota and South Dakota
All of these factors were conducive
to higher prices The closing tonight
shows q fair gain for the day with the
undertone of the market strong.
CORN:-RuIed higher early in the
session. but later lost all OF the ad-
vance. Liquidation in the May optior
which expires today caused selling Of
the more deferred futures. Estimated
receipts for tomorrow are larger thar
usual; cash demand only fair. Th'
