WHEAT ADVANCES
28 CENTS BUSHEL:
MAY PRICE FIXED
Option Wiped From Board
and Settlement Price
Placed at $3.18-The Of
ferings Small.

Chicago, May 1.-THE settlement
price for May wheat wiped from the
board Of trade yesterday as a specu-
lative option, was fixed at $3.1s a
bushel today.
The price committee fixed upon
$3.1S as a proper price for the reason
that this figure was established by
competitive bidding at the close of
yesterday. There is in the Chicago
public elevators $4,000 bushels of
wheat of the grade required for con-
tract delivery. A rough estimate
places the amount contracted for at
perhaps 100 times that quantity. Thus
had not the board intervened probably
80 per cent Of contracts would have
been settled at any price, even $40 a
bushel.
The most sensational advance in the
history of the present crop marked
the trade in July and September
wheat when net gains ranging from
27 to 80 cents were scored. July went
to $2.75 and September to $2.46.
1t was said the entente allies were
large holders of July and September
contracts and presumably as in re-
gard to May, would insist on delivery
of the wheat contracts called for.
Lack of offerings and continued de-
mand characterized rapid bulge in
values.
