WHEAT SAILS UPWARD
Heavy Purchases Of September for Al
lies Sends Grain skyward on
CHICAGO EXCHANGE.

Chicago, April 2O.-Another sensa.
tional advance distinguished the
wheat market today based, it was
said on heavy purchases of Septem-
Der wheat for the allies At the out
set, prices fell little below last
nights close. Then came the bulge.
July shot up 7 cents to $2.11 and Sep
tember l3 "a cents to $1.S9.
The allies, it is said, for a year
have simply had speculative profits
forced on them. They had no desire
to speculate, but merely the desire
to obtain the actual wheat. Car short
age, embargoes and the inadequacy of
ocean shipping prevented deliveries
at specified times and the contracts
were sold out at profits running into
millions.
The market after the opening furry
beanie apathetic and early gains dwin-
died away. The appearance of Secre-
tary Houston's recommendation for
food control induced some selling un.
der which prices dropped five to seven
cents under yesterdays close.
