OF the Washington Gas company. These

ON HOME CROP REPORTS
Predictions of Increased Argentina
Shipments Cause Some Weakness
at Times.

CHICAGO. April 6.-Wheat prices de-
veloped strength today as a result OF

Opening prices. which ranged from
y decline to taS advance. with May
at 1.1Sh to 1.1S1a, and July at LISA
to 1.17$, were followed by moderate
gains all around, interrupted tempo
rarily by rather sharp setback.

not without undergoing transient dips.
