CHICAGO, March 23.-Wheat-A
continued good demand for cash wheat
and bullish reports from Nebraska
and Kansas offset the bear pressure,
which was rather conspicuous early
today. 1t is remarkable that so few
in the trade are able to see the Inn
pending shortage Of wheat, irrespec-
tive OF political conditions. II this
country becomes involved in the war,
the obvious result appears to be in
creased efforts to supply the allied
nations with fo0dstufrs and to bend
every effort toward delivering goods
safely. Under these circumstances
the long side appears to be the only
safe one.
Corn-Corn opened at new high lew
els and, by midday, was selling at the
highest prices on the crop and prob
ably the highest ever recorded. There
seems good reason to believe that the
federal authorities are favoring the
movement Of corn to producers Of In
dustrial alcohol. There was also
fresh export business reported by
way of Baltimore and New Orleans.
Country elevator stocks. which have
been expected to act as a bear fac
tor when cars became more plentiful,
are likely now to move into export
and commercial channels. There ap-
pears to be no good reason for fol-
lowing the bear side even at these
levels.
oats-Oats were bought In a liberal
way by cash and commission houses.
Southern bids were one cent higher
than those of yesterday. The bearish
features, SO long advertised, have al
ready been discounted and the mar
ket is in position to respond readily
to bull news.
