WHEAT PRICES
SCORE ADVANCE
DECLINE OF FOUR CENTS SINCE
MONDAY FOLLOWED 8Y Up
TURN At CHICAGO.

Chicago, May 3.-Probability that
French millers would obtain an extern
sion of time to export flour made for
imported grain had bullish effect here
today on the market for wheat. The
idea was that the outlook for ship
ments from the United States would
be clearly improved. Besides, there was
would be natural in view Of decline
of, four cents here since Monday An
other influence against the bears came
in the form of assertions that the
Kansas state report rightly interpreted
would mean crop of 100000 bushels
instead Of 100000, the popular esti-
mate. Opening prices were Il to nc
higher. July started at llo% to
range.
An additional advance which ensued
resulted to some extent from material
decrease in northwestern stocks Sell
ing for q prominent speculator caused
a reaction. The close was steady with
July hcnet higher at $l.1o% Oil.
Corn eased of on account OF better
weather. There was also word of big
shipments from Argentine. July open
TN. touched 77M@77% but again fell
back to 77hc.
HBmathatT
Promise of heavy receipts for some
time southwest led to further set
back. The close was weak at 76A q
76X for July, Nc under last night.
SteadineSs prevailed in oats. The
reason was the absence Of any pres
sure to sell. July started NC higher at
SAY, rose to SAX and reacted to SAC.
Scalpers did most Of the business in
the provision crowd but values did not
move much in either direction. Initial
sales varied from az lower to sc high
err with September $19.45 for pork,
$11.25 for lard and $1062h to>s10.65 for
ribs.
