Grain Review

Chicago. April 5.-Although on some
transactions wheat reached a new high
record price today for May delivery,
the market as a whole including May,
soon developed q decided downward
tendency. More hopeful reports as to
conditions for winter wheat gave an
advantage to the bears, n SO too did
gossip as to possible government con-
troll Of prices. Besides. there were ad-
vices al hand ~purporting to show that
foreign holdings Of wheat in Chicago
were small. Opening prices, which
ranged from &c decline to INC advance
with May at $2.01h to $2.02h and July
at $1.6sN to $1.70A, were followed by
q material setback all around and
then something of a rally.
Subsequently word that rains in Kan
sas and Nebraska came toe late to be
of material benefit led to a sensational
advance to fresh high levels, including
$2.07 for May. Washington news OF
proposed war appropriations on an m
mense scale acted as a further stimulus
to buying. It "a said, too. that mill
ers had acquired all the May wheat In
st. Louis and that export sales at the
seaboard yesterday amounted to 1,00O.-
900 bushels wholly domestic grown. Top
prices here were coincident in time with
announcement OF the sinking OF the
American steamship Missourian. The
close was unsettled, 3Hc to SIC net
higher with May at s2.05ss to 2.0e and
July at $1.75H to $1.75k.
Later the smallness of receipts and
the extraordinary development of
strength in wheat made the corr mar
ket bulge. The close was firm at INC
to 2%c net advance.
Corn duplicated the action OF wheat.
New high record prices were touched
but We're not well maintained. After
opening &c off to Nc advance. the
market underwent a general sag but
then scored a fresh upturn.
Oats swayed with other cereals.
Business was active and about evenly
divided.
New top values in the hog market
produced a similar showing in provis>
ions. Decreased warehouse stocks con-
.tinued also to lift packing house pro-
ducts.
