| CHICAGO, April 19.-Wheat-The
buying of wheat for future delivery
by cash interests, presumably repre-
senting foreign governments, ad-
vanced wheat to new high levels.
Millers are swamped with shipping d.
rections, which they attribute to in
creased buying by domestic consum-
ers, but are finding the usual diff
Guilty in securing cars. Foreigners
are thought to be accommodating fu-
ture contracts as far ahead as pos
sible. The grain trade general seems
to regret the advance in prices, even
cash interests being willing to go into
new crop at prevailing price levels.
The consumption demand, at home
and abroad, is responsible for the
price The public is confronted daily
with the United States department OF
agriculture bullish data on new crop
deliveries, and is buying flour against
future needs.
Corn-Shorts in May corn found
difficulty in covering, and many Of
then continued to change their short
commitments over to September. The
commission house demand easily alb
sorbed the distant futures, and some
of this buying is credited to foreign
account. Premiums for the cash
article are well held, even where coun-
try stocks are for sale, there is little
moving on account of the difficulty
in securing enough cars.
Oats-Export business yesterday
and today in oats exceed the pub
lished figures. This with the strength
in other grains, held the market
strong. The cash demand is brisk,
and down state bids from other mar
kets are preventing any increase in
the run to Chicago.
