WEAKNESS OF CORN

opeeulaters Sell Corn Freely Despite
Fact That Cables Are Bullish-Dam-
age 70 Argentine Crop 10 Ignored by
Traders Oats sympathixs With
Lower Prices For Corn.

Chicago, April 14-Wheat scored a
lively advance in price today as a
result Of large export sales said to
have been made yesterday at the sea-
board. There was some selling later
because OF weakness in corn. Asser-
tons that more moisture was needed
in the domestic winter crop belt tend
Cd to favor the bulls. After opening IS
to ~ cents higher, prices reacted and
hen again took the up grade.
Extraordinary additional strength
developed later owing to signs of great
expansion Of European demand. A
sensational jump of nearly Is cents a
bushel in the price of dlrum at Du-
luth had much to do with setting the
local market on fire. The close was
at an advance of 81 to cents net.
Corn.
Spectators sold corn freely despite
bullish cables. The trade here seemed
disposed to ignore damage to the Ar
gentine crop. The opening varied from
4 off to a like advance, and then de-
clined all around.
Reports of enlarged cash corn de-
mand pulled that cereal up. Corn
closed firm at z to rs OH cents net
advance.
Oats sympathized with lower prices
for corn. Buying was only scattered.
Provisions.
Lower hog prices made provisions

Chicago, April 14-Wheat-After a
period Of dullness the wheat market
became today more active than at any
lime since the beginning Of the war
last summer. The statement issued
last night by one of the leading sta
tistictans in the trade showing that
only 100000 bushels remained in this
country for export and carry over to
July was an important factor in the
change in sentiment Renewed export
demand and a bullish review from
Broomhall were other contributing
causes to the advance. It was almost
impossible to buy wheat when the
market started up from an early adj
vance Of about 3 cents a bushel and at
one time the July delivery was more
than 10 cents above last nights close.
A little profit-taking on the sharp
bulge resulted in setback and at the
close prices were frob az to cents
up.
Corn-There was a little selling of
corn by commission houses at the
opening but after that practically all
of the pressure came from local trad
ers An improvement in the cash de-
nand and the strength in wheat
brought about a sharp recovery and
closing prices were near the top, y to
IN higher. The advance was caused
by short covering to very large extent.
The reported improvement in the cash
demand did not result in large sales,
so far as could be discovered, only
225,000 bushels being reported. The Ar
gentine weather was unfavorable and
a reduction in the exportable surplus
of that country is expected.
Oats-Oats were not as strong as
other grains, tho they sympathized to
some extent and closed higher. Ship
pers reported some improvement in
cash demand from domestic sources
but sales were made for the most part
at very little profit. Canadian export
ers were credited with buying May
s oats in this market and Winnipeg re-
ported liberal export sales.
Provisions-Provision We're weak
and lower early. sympathizing with the
lower hog market and slack demand
for product They rallied, however
with the grains and closed at moderate
advances Shorts were the principal
buyers. Cash trade was mostly be-
tween packers and demand was prin-
cipally for short covering.
