WHEAT ON RALLY
AT GOOD REPORT
tniavorabie Weather Conditions in the
Northwest Prove Help to Lists
Quotations.

Chicago, April 17.-Reports that ow-
ing TO unwelcome rains many fields in
the northwest were in bad shape again
rallied the wheat market today after
some display of weakness at the out
set Bearish cables and favorable
weather in the winter crop states were
responsible for the early downturns
Opening prices, which varied from Il c
to sc lower, with May at lis to
115is were followed by further de-
clines, but then an advance to we'll
above Saturdays finish.
Big stocks and the nearness of the
opening Of lake navigation tended lat
er TO cause decided set back and so
too, did the fact that any urgent export
call was lacking and that the subma-
rine issue with Germany was bringing
renewed anxiety. The close was set
tied sc to 1ACG13sc net lower with
May at 1.14l4 6l3s and July at 1885.
Corn palalleled the action Of wheat.
Cash interests were buying and offer
ings were light. After opening Is to
Il C off to sc up, the market scored a
substantial gain all around.
Reports Of unfavorable weather in
Argentina and Of chances that much
replanting would be necessary in Ok
lahoma, prevented any material reac-
ton. The close was steady at Il to
sc net advance.
Oats seemed to have no independ-
ence. Narrow changes reflected the
course of other cereals.
Continued demand for lard strength
ened the provision list. Weakness in
the hog market exercised only tran
sient depressing influence.
