 IN WHEAT MARKET
Traders Disregard Possible Consequences of Lusi-
 tania's Sinking

Chicago, May 11.-Alarming crop dam age reports today compelled traders in wheat to disregard fears about possible consequences of the sinking of the Lusi- tania After an exciting advance the market closed strong at nearly the top most level of the session, 5i4Q6iac above last night. Corn gained 1s402c net. oats 1ssd1ssc. and provisions 15d45c.
 Instead of the record breaking wheat crop, which the latest government figures had indicated. the outlook today was that the yield might become sharply reduced. For example, seven counties in southwest Missouri that were reported 10 the gov ernment as having a condition of 20 per cent were said to be now cut down to 50 per cent with a prospect that half of the acreage would be abandoned.
 Corn developed strength with wheat, and owing to falling off in receipts.
 Oats were helped upward by improved cash demand.
 Provisions followed the course taken by grain Packers were credited with buying.
 F1lture quotations were as follows.
