Grain and Produce.

CHICAGO, April 9.-May wheat is
badly congested. This fact was clear.
ly shown today when a few shorts at
tempted to cover their outstanding
contracts and were forced to bid the
price up from $1.51h to S1.55A with
out securin gall that was wanted.
=. The size OF the open interest in May
wheat is unknown, as 1t Is scattered
over several of the markets. There
is practically no contract wheat at
Chicago, as the amount is so very
small that it would be no relief to
shorts for delivery. It was said a
short time since that foreigners were
long on May wheat, but 1t is now re.
ported they have sold their holdings
n order to secure available profits.
1t is believed in Board of Trade cir
cles that the May wheat holdings are
largely in the hands of one big con.
Germ in La Sale street, and that the
shorts will be forced to pay the price
asked.
The strength shown by May wheat
today was reflected in the new crou
months. Both the July and Septem.
Der were strong and higher and clos.
ed at h best prices reached. The
July was up 1Bc and the September
was 9sc better. Old wheat is growing
scarcer In all positions, and a cable
from Broomhall says that importing
countries purchases, including Nor
way, Sweden and Denmark, were 10.
100000 bushels. where the require
ments are 22.000.000 bushels and that
switzerland has imported only $500.
ooo bushels with minimum require
ments OF 10000. 900 bushels.
