Chicago, April 2.-Wheat-There was
no material relief IN the way OF pre-
cipitation over Kansas and Nebraska
during tho holiday. and private reports
from these states confirm the belief in
a serious situation. B. W. Snow makes
the condition April 1st I'll per cent as
compared with a ten year average of
S7.3 per cent. The figures of other
statisticians are said to agree with
those Of Snow. In view Of the POSSIBLE
lty OF q short crop in the coming year
and the political conditions the world
over which now confronts it. it Is
urgently advised that economy be prac-
ticed in consumption OF food stuffs, and
that every effort be put forth to contrt-
butte something toward the future sup
ply OF bread. 1t seems impossible to
avoid high prices, but the situation
should not be allowed to reach the ser
1ous stage that has developed in coun-
tries far less productive than our own.
Corn-Heavy profit taking which has
occurred and which should have caused
some reaction in prices seems to have
had tho contrary effect The market
has absorbed all offerings and again,
today, advanced into new high ground.
The demand IN the sample market was
Just As urgent as. that in the pit and
cash prices for No. 3 grades of corn
were 2ha31a over May.
Oats-Oats were extremely strong.
Recent buying by cash houses has re-
Ieved the market Of its floating sup
plies and, To-Day, shippers and shorts
were bidding against each other,

six million tons annually. This
figure cannot be realized before late
