CHICAGO. April 27.-wheat prices

optimism as to the outcome of the

The market was also bullishly affected
by the outlook for a diminished yield

prospect of sharp competition from
Canada, Argentina. Australia and india
was said to be operating as check

Shorts Give Up Fight.

shorts gave up the fight that they
have been making on the market fol
several days past and decided that il
was time to get in out of the cold.
The turn of attention to the rails was
the big thing, and was largely due to
the street forgetting possible forcing
of demands for higher wages in the
excellent returns that are being re-
ported with every statement The
southern and especially southeastern
lines set the pace.
Norfolk and Western directors sur
prised the street yesterday afternoon
when they not only declared an in
creased dividend, putting the stock or
a per cent basis. but also added ar
extra dividend of l per cent for good
measure.
Interest in Rails Welcomed.
The conservative trading element
long fighting shy of munition shares
and other industrials. welcomed the de-
velopment of new interest in the rails
and their buying orders started these
stocks in an advance the like Of
which they have not known for many
months.
