I CHICAGO. April 5.-There will be
no session tomorrow. Good Friday.
/ Wheat-Except those who are oblig
ed to use the market in hedging
way, there is comparatively small in
Iterest In the wheat market. Speculat
ors are not disposed to place them
selves in the position Of advancing
food prices and despite all of their ef-
| forts SO far this year, the scarcity OF
wheat the world over has brought the
highest prices in years for contracts
for future delivery which, even at
these levels, are selling at very wide
discounts, under spot wheat in every
part OF the country. The effort to hold
prices down has, SO far, been unsuc-
cessful, and the strength of the cash
situation does not seem to warrant
this position now.~
! Corn-Although practically all of
the leading local holders have dispos-
ed Of heir corn futures, there is such
an urgent demand for cash that new
high levels have again been made for
all deferred contracts. BY midday

l2k cents over yesterday and No. 3
grades were selling at five to six cents
over the May.
Oats-The changing Of seaboard
contracts for our oats with western
shippers of Canadian oats has been
the depressing factor yesterday and
today. The immediate action OF fed
erai agents who may be appointed to
work for lower prices Is likely to come
In the form of assistance to country
shippers, who have corn and oats for
sale and are anXio1h to market them
at prevailing prices, but are prevented
from doing so on account of the car
situation. Oats seem to be selling at
too big a discount under other grains.
