CHICAGO. April 5.-Frightened by the
strength of foreign markets. short sellers
here rushed to cover today and prices
made a sudden upward jump. From a
crop standpoint the situation appeared
more bearish than at any time this sea-
son. but the Liverpool quotations had
been lifted in consequence Of firmer spot
offerings and on account Of q better mill
ing demand. with the continent bidding
for cargoes. Moreover, cash demand here
was little broader. and some dealers
were expecting material increase Of
activity. The opening was Aa% to lc
higher. May started at IS to S5h, q gain
of Sc to 1c, and steadied at S5h.
Weather unfavorable for free move
ment from farms gave strength to corn
The rise in wheat also had a bullish ef-
feet. May opened u to ha1 at AN to
41ssa47A. and seemed inclined to hold
close to the upper level.
In oats the smaller shorts lost courage
and caused a bulge in prices. Larger
spectators on the bear side, however.
were sellers. May started AaN to lsax
dearer at 3OA to 3Ox. but did not seem
able to set outside Of those limits.
Firmer prices of hogs led to an ad-
vance all around in provisions Initial
sales were 2.Hc to 15c higher. with May

Trading Is Active.

Trading was more active this morning
than for many days previously. with the
greater part of the business coming from
the short side. Bear traders showed
more confidence and succeeded in fore
ing recessions in many stocks, although
advances in other issues gave the mar
ket occasional appearance of irresular1ty.
The advance of Baltimore and Ohio was
attributed in part to buying by London.
from which point there came a report
that Pennsylvania had offered to take
over Union Pacifcs holdings of the stock
at 40. and that the offer had been re-
fused.
The report met with prompt denial here.
but Ii was generally believed that ac-
emulation Of the stock in a large way
was going on. The trend Of prices was
upward at midday and the list ruled at
last nights close.
An active inquiry for National Biscuit
Cancelled its early decline and there was
q brisk demand for American Can pre-
ferred. which moved up 212 on reports
that the stock would be placed on a
higher dividend basis. Associated Oil de-
clined more than points below yester-
days final figure. to 50, which compares
with COZ. the high price of Monday.
