CHICAGO, May Northumberland
In wheat is so reduced that market
comment is superfluous. The influ-
ences bearing on the market are diff
cult to weigh. Cash wheat, of course,
is in good demand but the consump.
tive demand for flour Is generally
light, due to extraordinary laying in of
supplies during the last few months.
Crop reports are generally more IA
vorable, weather conditions being
ideal for growing grain. The effort to
replace shipments of domestic wheat
by imports from Australia, while still
/ in the experimental stage will no
doubt lend to prevent violent ad-
vances in prices. The hope of the en-
tire world is now centered in the
spring wheat territory of the United
States and Canada.
| Corn-While wheat and oats were
losing little ground, corn made a
moderate advance The strength IS
attributable entirely to the cash de-
mand and the wide premiums that are
being paid for the spot article. A To-
ed acreage in the seven surplus states
at twelve million acres, or twenty Per
cent, as compared with last years.
While this acreage will have no d.
rect bearing on the course of the ac
tive deliveries, it will undoubtedly
have a bearish effect so long as the
crop is progressing SO satisfactorily.
Oats-The same authority quoted
above places the increased acreage in
oats at 100000 acres. Crop condi-
lions are almost universally promis-
ing. The eastern demand shows some
let up.
