WHEAT H|GHERON
 ACREAGE REPORTS
Assertion Is Made That Abandonment Would
 Be Large

Chicago, April 1s.-Assertions that the acreage abandonment of wheat land this year would break the record carried the price of that cereal today to higher level. The close was at an advance of
 4@aso to 1i4e net. Corn finished lae to lsso under last night; oats off l4c to Ssc and provisions varying from to Ilee down to a rise of 22i2c.
 One house alone bought 2,oo0000 bush- els of wheat on the strength of crop experts statement showing more than 2, ,o00 ooo acres abandoned in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois and forecasting large acre age losses in other states. The display of buying force spread throughout the trade and received further impetus from pessimistic reports as to field conditions in Missouri and Nebraska, although sub sequent advices regarding the latter com monwealth were of a different tenor en- tirely. On the rush to the bull side Of the market the fact that foreign quota tions had hardened cut considerable fig ure. On the other hand, 1t was unde- niahly stated that wheat left in the win ter crop belt had undoubtedly received much benefit from the wet weather of the last 24 hours. Besides there was no im-
  dency to reaction late in the day re- suited also in considerable degree from a weak turn in corn. Between the open ing and the close July fiuctuated with in limits bounded by $l.06ss and S1.07S. The final tone was easy at Sl.06ss and s1.0694. just ssc up, as compared with 24 hours before.
 After cold. wet weather had brought about an advance in corn, the market gave way under heavy selling, due to evidence that the price level had become vulnerable as viewed from the basis of eastern distributive or export uses, July ranged from 757sc to 77s4c, closing weak 1Ac down at 757s976c. Cash grades were easy No. 2 yellow was quoted at 79n 7ai5e for car lots.
 Offerings of oats increased when the weakness of corn grew apparent and the weather conditions began to improve The sales were largely in the nature of profit taking by longs. July ranged from 53s4e and 55c, with the close 537sc.
 In the provision pit packers appeared to be lifting pork, while unloading lard and ribs. The last named articles to- night were quoted at slight setback, but pork had become dearer by 10d22l6c

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, April 1S.-Cotton futures opened steady and unchanged to points down compared with the close of yester- day. Cables were better than due. Short selling was free on the first call and held prices down. Sales were based on a better weather map than expected
 Al first little attention was paid to river news, which was not good. and soon after the call the trading months were 1 10 points down. Later rumor that the Angola levee in Central Louisiana had broken caused a quick spurt and shorts bought back the cotton they had sold.
 At the end of the first half hour of bus mess prices were to II points oyer yes- terdays close.
 The forecast of unsettled weather for the western half of the cotton belt caused fresh purchases, which continued through out the early trading.
 There was little cotton for sale at any tine aid shorts continually bid prices up on themselves in purchasing covers. Long cotton was fed out slowly, and made up the greater part of the offerings.
 All months went to new high levels, July

New York April tspeeial) heavy spot sales in Liverpool our market was prepared for further advance at the opening but this was checked by heavy realizing sales, which was. Indeed, fea- ture of the day. Heavy general buying absorbed all offerings and prices were well held, with q nervous undertone
 New Orleans and Liverpool were good buyers. sellers were few and chary. though there were rumors of an intended selling movement. A serious leyee break was reported, and heavy rain in the Att lantic states The extensive realizing was with only moderate reaction, and the strong spot market restrained selling.
 Later in the day Wall street was a good buyer. and recent investors are confident in their position.
