CHICAGO, May 10.-Wheat-The
wheat market was decidedly easier
early today because of more favor
able political news, but firmed up on
an improvement in the cash demand
and the report that export business
was working at new high premiums.
j Prices now prevailing represent and
discount the shortage of last years
crop and the prospective scarcity for
the beginning Of the new crop year.
Retail prices of flour are such as to
compel economy. 1t is fortunate, how
ever, that these prices are now obtain
ing during the spring seeding period,
for there is nothing like attractive re-
turns to stimulate farm production.
Corn-Corn seems to be on dead
center. The price is so high that
speculative interest on the long side
Is curtaiied, and on the other hand.
corn in commercial channels is so
Iscarce as to hold prices even above
those in the futures market. Mean
time, the market is largely following
the course of wheat. If anything like
the acreage now available comes
through to the harvest period, there
will be difficulty in maintaining
prices at any where near levels now
prevailing.
| Oats-Oats have been very disap-
pointing to bulls who realize that
| they are relatively cheaper than other
grains used for human and animal
consumption. There has undoubtedly
been some substitution and mixing of
| oats and very likely, there will be
more, as the consuming trade is edn-
