FRESH GAINS ARE
 MADE IN WHEAT Demand for Flour Is Principal
 Factor In UptuIn
LATE PRICES ARE FIRM
New High Records Are Again Scored in Corn, But the Close Is Little Lower-Oats and Pro-
 visions Close Weak.

Chicago, April 2S.-An excellent demand for flour and cash wheat induced liberal demand for purchases of wheat for fu- ture delivery and caused further ad- vance in prices, final quotations showing gains of A@1c compared with yesterdays close. Corn, oats and provisions closed weak.
 Popular sentiment in the wheat pit favored the bull side of the market today and a strong tone prevailed the greater part of the day. One setback was experienced late in the session but the reaction was of short duration and was occasioned mainly by realizing by local and outside longs
 The principal factor in the situation was the improved demand for flour and cash wheat. It was reported that the demand for winter wheat flour here was displaying more life and dispatch from Minneapolis stated that sales of flour there late yesterday were the largest in some time. At the same time the cash grain was said to be in active demand by millers at all the leading grain cen ters in this country. Other influences that contributed to the upper trend of prices were an advance of 1A0D1ssd in the price of wheat in Liverpool and cold weather in the northwest which is said to be delaying seeding operations. The market opened strong with prices LID 9s91&c with July at $1.O991.O91k and May at $l.22iE91. 22% The July option was in good demand from the start and steadily advanced until it touched 1101k | l1,,t vanced with July to $123 Late. in the day prices weakened for a time on selling of the September and December deliveries May dropping to $1.21A. The market rallied again, however, and closed firm with May at $1.22 and July at ID9s, which was 1c higher for each compared With the previous close.
 New high record marks for the sea son were established in all deliveries of corn, the May option advancing to 72ssc and the July to 69%c. The advance to the best mark for the season was made early in the day and was followed by a sharp break due to liberal realiz- ing prompted to q large extent by re- ports of Increased offerings from the country. The strength at the start was the result of continued light receipts and an improved call by shippers. May sold during the day between 70%c and 707s6D 729sc and closed at 707sQ171c a loss of ssc compared with yesterdays final quo tations.
 Oats were firm early in the day ow- ing to buying brought out by the fresh bulge in corn and by unfavorable wealth CT for seeding in the northwest, but weakened during the last half of the day and closed at net declines of a shade to ssc. Cash houses were quite free sellers late in the session. May sold between 56c and 563sc and closed at 56bc.
 Trade in provisions was of small volume. The market displayed moderate firmness early in the day owing to Dc advance in live hogs and to the strength of grain, but weakened on sell ing by commission houses. At the close prices were unchanged to 5c lower.
 leading futures ranged as follows.
