CHICAGO, May 9.-Wheat-Wheat
| followed the usual course after gov
eminent report, being easy early and
advancing later on short covering.
Prices by midday were we'll above
those OF last night. The buying today
was induced by further crop reports
from Nebraska and the southwest
claiming much damage from insects
and dry weather. The forecast for
possible showers over the dry dis
trict brought out some selling orders
early. The seaDoard reported some
demand for wheat, but gave out no
| figures. Winnipeg, however, claimed
that exporters were liberal buyers of
their May delivery. Premiums for
the spring wheat were higher, No. /
northern selling at 9 cents ovel the
May.
Corn-Corn was easy most of the
day. Professionals pressed the sell
in side. The feature was fairly liber-
al country offerings, and the rapid
progress that is being made in the
planting of a large acreage A good
deal was made by the bears on the
report that Argentine had worked
corn to come to New York. But this
was later construed as bullish, be-
Cause the corn is sold to Cuban ports
at fair prices and is to be reshipped
from New York. This is made neces-
sary by lack of freights from Argen-
tine direct to Liverpool
y Oats-Oats were easy early in the
day but reacted when wheat showed
strength and by midday trading was
around yesterdays levels Of prices.
Crop reports were generally favorable
although some complaints were being
received from the southwest.
