CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.


Chicago, May Son top Of yesterday g
record breaking IA cents net gain, the mar
ket at the opening today advanced IA
cents more and later scored gain OF lsAc.
The impetus came from the government
crop report showing the largest abandon
ment Of wheat acreage ever known in the
United States
Persistent demand that appeared to be for
seaboard account was feature of the trad
ing, as SO, too was the fact that cash
wheat, ordinary contract grade for immedi-
ate delivery brought S3.32la a bushel, by far
the topmost figures obtainable q any time
in Chicago. The close was unsettled at lzc
to 15c net advance, with May at SS.ll and
July at s3,45A to 1854 Corn gained &c
to 2%c, oats &c to lhcQlSc, and pro-
visions DC to 35c.
What the action Of the wheat market i'm
plies came In announcements after the close
that flour had Jumped up another dollar a
barrel to 1850, making a rise II 50 in the
last three Gays.
Profit taking sales caused a temporary
halt in the advance Of wheat and then a
reaction amounting to cents In some
cases, but ''e effect was brief and had en-
tirely disappeared by the middle Of the SEES
sion. Then cane another swing upward
with a substantial fleeing reaction of about
cents and an uncertain finish No Other
Influence was considered except that the
government estimate Of the winter crop
in the United States had been shortened
Corn strengthened with wheat and hit
new attitudes in prices. Buying. however,
was only OF scattered sort. Oats, too,
hardened In view Of the action Of wheat but
trade was light. Both the feed grains were
held back by suspicious crop condition.
Higher quotations on hogs and cereals lifted
provisions, Holders realized on the bulge.
