MAY WHEAT $2.02
IN CHICAGO MARKET
Highest Price Since Civil War.
Reports of U. S.-Austria Break
Sends Quotations Up

CHICAGO. April ALL high records for
wheat since the Civil War were broken to-
day when May sold at s2.02. After the
market had reacted below Mondays close
Following initial strength because of great
deal of profit-taking and other conservative
selling, prices shot upward again on reports
that relations between the United states and
Austria had been broken, and last quota
tions were near the top,
Other strengthening factors were the ap-
proach of the entrance of the United States
into the war, additional bad crop news and
tightness In the cash article. There were
good rains In parts of Nebraska and showers
and SHOWS in sections of Kansas.
After having sod off to s1.9SL, May ad-
vanced to s2.02, and finished at s2.O2 to
S2Ol "a, against S1.99as at the end Monday :
July, after having sagged to Si.67, rose to
S1.70la. finishing at Sl,701a to sI.704. COM
pared with S1.67s4. the final quotation of
Monday; September, after having receded to
sl.54 jumped to 81 $685., ending at sl.56as
to s1.56%, against s15iL at the close
Monday.
The Price Current said that the condi-
tion of winter wheat Is below normal
throughout the entire territory, and that
In Missouri Nebraska and Kansas the con-
dition is serious because of winter kill and
lack Of moisture. The crop is spotted but
1t is too early to make a perfect estimate
OF the growth conditions. The season is
generally normal, and farm work has be-
gun and Is progressing favorably.
Clement, Curtis q Co. place the condition
| of the crop at 70.S. against 1873 last year
| and the indicated yield at 525, 900. 900 bush
| els compared with 4s0,o0O.OO0 bushels es-
| tinlated by Mr.. Snow. Import require
| ments by France next season are estimated
at l36,o0O000 bushels, The market at Liv-
