CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
Futurc Grain and Provisions

CHICAGO, April 1.-The advance of wheat
prices to a new high level made without
any unusual excitement today. The market was
strong with the exception of a brief period
early In the day when moderate reaction oc-
Cured on liberal sales by a leading holder.
Demand by this trader was partly re-
sponsible for the advance later in the session
which carried prices beyond the previous best
mark.
Sharp advances at nearly all the leading
grain centers of Europe brisk demand for the
cash grain in this country and fresh reports
of damage to the growing crop, particularly
in Ohio and Indiana, were the chief reasons
for the bullish sentiment which prevailed
throughout the day. The range May was
between S1.1e and S1.20B, while July sold be-
tween sI.Oe% and $l.OS. The market closed
strong with May at s1.197s @1.2o and July at
81 .07ss @107A.
The feature of trade in corn was the buy
ing of the May delivery by cash interests which
caused considerable irmness in the wheat mar
ket in general.
The market. closed firm at net gains of a
shade 10 Nose. May closed at 6Tasc and
July at 65A @66%c.
Trade in oats was quiet and the market was
barely steady. At the close prices a
shade lower TO 14c higher, with May at 54alc
and July at 4715c.
The provision market heavy nearly all
day. At the close prices were 21ac higher TO
