Liverpool May 6.-At opening mar
ket Was Slightly under pressure, owing
to the late decline in American mar
kets yesterday and the easiness in
Berlin. Following the opening the
| market was strongly supported and
very excited with May shorts covering
and offerings extremely light, due to
light tenders on contract and the fact
that large quantities of contract wheat
| was held off the market. May as a
result advanced rs from the opening.
Spots markets We're stronger, country
market firm with supplies tight and
cargoes were sparingly offered and
bids were advanced tx to 3D.

Chicago and Minneapolis wires:
"Comstock, Mimi, and Lewis had
bad storm of sand here last night con-
tinuing until early morning, turning
into rain. This has done consid era BILE
damage to wheat fields by blowing out
seeds. logan & Bryan.
Chicago, May 6.-Liverpool appears
to be ready to set the pace in the
wheat advance Shipping sales OF
wheat here have been nearly 100000
bushels in two days. Ohio millers are
paying the highest prices in a lifetime
for wheat at country points Mills in
the northwest are contracting for new
winter wheat in the southwest Moth
ing but sales of a. million bushels or
more by bull leaders the last two days
keeps May wheat from going up into
the thirtieS. July wheat acts longest
ed. Market relieved late yesterday by
selling on fine wheather and better
spring crop talk from the northwest.
1t looks as if the advance will be on
again today.
Corn-Chicago is without stocks Of
corn to amount to anything. 1t looks
as If it will take the end of planting
season, fine weather and a large coun-
try movement to force corn price back
even for the late months. However.
we believe IN profits ON long corn on
the hard spots at this level.
Oat@The market is in much the
same position as corn as far as stocks
and receipts are concerned Better
growing conditions may hold the mar
ket in check or force some depression
in the new crop months, but there is
buHish feeling in the entire trade
