Chicago, May 81. - Wheat - The
wheat market has developed into
weather affair and much stress has
been placed this week on crop condi-
tons in the southwest. Temperatures
there are again high today and the Of
fetal forecast promises no relief in the
way Of rain. There was no urgent
demand from shorts, altho May closed
slightly higher than it did on Thurs
day. due largely to the strength in de-
ferred futures, In which closing prices
were q q u higher Most of the out
side markets were lower altho Buenos
Aires was "a higher and Liverpool was
N to "a up on account of the prospects
of smaller worlds shipments. Amer
lean clearances were about 100 .0OC
bushels today, representing two days
shipments ClearanceS for the Week
have been rather heavy and altho not
much new business has been worked,
1t is understood that present prices
will buy considerable of our wheat for
the next two months.
Corn-Corn was rather dull in mar
row range and closing prices were at
an advance of 74d3s over Thursday
except for May, which showed uneX-
pected strength and closed "a hlghe~
Advances of early IN the week on &C
count of unfavorable weather for
plantinK and movement were lost the
latter part of the week, when weather
conditions became more favorable ana
a much more liberal movement from
the country appeared. Urgent cash de-
mand seems to have been pretty well
taken care of and il is natural 10 eX-
meet the usual June dullness should tho
movement prove as heavy as antici-
pated.
Oats-May oats continued to show
congestion and prices during the week
have advanced 2Aa for current deliV-
cry. The close tonight is q higher
