CHICAGO, Jan. Further bullish
advices from Argentine caused excit-
ed buying IN the wheat pit at the
opening of the market today May
wheat closed at 991a last night on
sharp reaction, opened this morning
with rush at 81, and before the early
congestion of orders had been dis
posed of, the price had touched $1.01.
The July crop also was affected, and
made heavy early gains which were
held we'll throughout the day. Europ-
can trade centers all reported heavy
buying and big upward price move
ments. The bullish sentiment is en-
tirely due to reports of storms in
Argentine. Crops already harvested
cannot be moved because railroads
are crippled. Local trade was in an
oversold position when the big ad-
vance came this morning. After fol-
lowing rising market for several
days traders suddenly switched to the
selling side late yesterday, and this
morning found themselves cornered by
the rise.
Encouraged by the strength in
wheat. May and July corn futures ex-
perienced an early advance.
/ Trade in oats was fairly firm with
good early demand. Selling became
heavy on bulges but steady demand
brought prices up again.

LAYING HENS
Are Laggard in Their Work
According to the Crop
Reporter.

WASHINGTON ID. c., May rs
The Crop Reporter Tor May gives
some interesting statistics on egg
production and consumption in the
United States. 1t 4hows that the
production of eggs in 1909 was
1,591imillion dozen valued at $685.
$4,000 which was equivalent to
1913 per dozen. AS very few eggs
were imported. or exported the pro-
duction is practically the same as
the consumption and the figures
show that an average of 2O7 eggs
were consumed in the year by each
person in the United States.
The Crop Reporter states that
while good laying hen ought to
produce 200 eggs year, the aver
age run of hens do not produce more
than loo each. showing plenty of
room for improvement in the raising
of laying hens.
