oats H6ic higher and p-rovisions2ha6c to
Sqlhc higher. compared with the previous
The most important item OF news for the
wheat trading at the opening was the esti-
mate cabled here that Argentine shipments
OF wheat for the week were likely to reach
6.Ooo.OOO blu. This prediction on the move
ment from the South American country
was soon followed by one on the weeks
movement from Australia, which placed ex-
ports from the latter country at 2,40o,0 600 bu.
As a result Of these statistics sentiment In
the pit was bearish during the first hour.
hnere was general selling by commission
leading holders. Toward midday a firm
tone developed, inspired largely by the ac-
uvity and strength OF coarse grain. Cash
wheat continued to sell at stiff prices ow-
Ing to the brisk demand by millers, and this
helped to strengthen options. Trade in the
pit, however, was inclined to drag through
was narrow. May sold between s1.ls% and
n.14St. The market closed easy, with May
at alshqi.l4, and July at si.0OH.
Decided strength marked trading In the
corn pit, the May delivery scoring a new
high record mark for the present upward
movement of prices at e6izc. other deliver
les were almost equally as strong. The
weather map" was chiefly responsible for
the bullish situation. Unsettled weather
was reported Throughout the corn belt and
the official forecast predicted additional
ports from Illinois Indicated that the move
ment OF grain to market was being delayed
w tne poor cODultiOn OF country ROADS. An
advance of hd1c in the price Of the cash
grain was an important factor. The market
reacted from the high point Of the day ow-
Ing to selling by cash interests. but closed
firm, with May at 66s@66hc and July at
e5Ac.
Oats scored a net gain Of 1c for the day,
compared with the closing quotations of the
previous session. During the day the May
delivery sold at. 55hc, a new high record
mark for the season Trading was unus-
ually active and commission houses re
ported a large increase in buying orders
from outsiders. The demand was based
mainly on the stock of oats In store. which
Is said to be extremely light. and on the
reserves. which are said to be far below
those OF last year. The Illinois report
showed stocks In farmers hands to be 10
per cent smaller than a year ago. The
market closed strong at almost the top.
with May at 55MdS5kc and July at 49kc.
Provisions were rather weak at the start.
