GRAIN MARKETS
RULED STEADY
Wheat Prices Rallied at Close.
Corn Showed Moderate Ad-
VanceS.

CHICAGO April 17.--There was less ex-
ctement in the grain markets today.
Wheat opened somewhat lower for the
July and September options, whereas May
ruled firm Slight advances we're recorded
in corn at the outset, while oats remained
practically unchanged. At the close May
wheat rallied to Sl62.
The week just past has witnessed sharp
advances in wheat, bringing May to
within { cents cs the topmost level since
tho outbreak of the foreign war. The
advance In July has been even more SEN
satioual than the jump in May wheat, the
former option rising cents a bushel last

causing the sensational price advances in
wheat namely prospects of a world
shortage in wheat available for imme-
diatc shipment, second the delay of the
Allies i'm forcing their way through the
Dardanelles. and last, but not least, the
re-entrance in the market OF James Pat

be "A Carry-over of only 10, 900 bushels
of wheat, while exports of 3750,0O0 weekly
Will result In no Carry-over, leaving an
exhaustion OF supplies. II was expected
that the inauguration of shipments of Ar
Ecntinc wheat, which got into full swing
a month ago would relieve the situation
somewhat, but 1t now develops that this
crop has been contracted for by for
egncrs and still they are not satisfied
and continue to buy American wheat.
one ship was reported chartered from
Baltimore yesterday for French Atlantic
ports with 10000 bushels of grain.
Sales of American wheat at the sea-
board yesterday were estimated at 100000
