Chicago-Most of the buying of May
| wheat, corn and oats yesterday was
attributed to purchasing agents of
allied governments. People in posi-
ton to know say foreigners have suffi-
Gent cash grain and futures bought
in this country to make much higher
prices on natural conditions. Corn
| Country shorts started to cover yes
terday. 1t is said short interest in
oats is larger than the trade believe
under corn they look for trade to in
higher than ever. All deliveries made
new hight in corn yesterday which led
bulls to believe there was sufficient
steam to carry values several cents
i higher. However, 81 for May corn
! looks attractive to many and there
has been considerable investment SELL
ing. Purchases Of May and sales of
July advocated. Few bears were to be
found in grains after the close. The
! marketable ability of the markets to
/ absorb realization sales the last two
days has surprised even the most
confident bulls. Sentiment was SO
unanimously bullish that many con-
/ Sentative traders believed q reaction
would probably be made afterward.

live issue today at the quarterly meeting

tion on the grounds of personal animosity
or because of principles ruling against such
park services
The Rev. +. B. Parkn member of the
committee appointed to take up the matter
with tao Park Commissioners contended
that members Of that body made their OBJ
Jection8 purely on personal grounds It
was SAID that the Rev. James Il. Ely, who
conducted the services In the park. had

The Rev Mr.. Ely, who was present at
the meeting. replied that two years ago,
When the matter>was taken up with the

that the present commissioners are search
