| CHICAGO, March 26.-Wheat-The
d1mculty of buying cash wheat at any
thing like the price Of futures and I'M
favorable advices on the growing crop
furnished by some of the most respon-
siole and experienced people in the
grain trade, have been responsible for
the wheat markets starting out the
week at higher levels. There is too
much OF q feeling in this country Of
confidence in our agricultural re.
sources and the consequent impossi-
bility Of food shortage. A Winnipeg
trade paper is running an appeal to
all citizens in the form of display
advertisement. furnished by the Do
minion department Of agriculture
The people of every class and age are
urged to be patriotic, in act as we'll
as In thought, and to unite to serve.
to save. and to produce. Every pound
OF food raised helps reduce the cost Of
living and adds to the food supply for
overseas. This extortation should be
impressed upon every land owner also
in the United States.
Corn-As fast as one bull sold out
his corn today another was found to
take his place. Private reports from
Illinois and Iowa indicate that country
elevators and farm stocks are below
the general expectation. The visible
supply is decreasing and the total is
now less than half of that at the cor
responding time last year. In case of
war, which now seems imminent, the
demand would become more urgent.
nafc-(Noch
buyers Of oats futures, the selling be-
ing largely speculative. An improved
demand from foreign interests ad.
vanced bids, on cash oats, which are
selling in all markets at premiums
over the May. On minor breaks oats
are recommended as conservative
investment.
