~, as most traders seemed TO be

F.
Chicago. April 25.-The States that go to make
up both the winter and spring wheat belts
ere one BY one coming forward with reports OF
increased acreages and ideal crop prospects
in answer to the appeal by Food Administering
Hoover for a largely increased wheat yield
over last year. Colorado reports q one-third
increase in acreage and South Dakota says that
the area seeded to spring wheat in that State
has been increased 10 to Il per cent All
reports received on the Board of Trade today
claimed the present low temperatures were
ideal for the growing wheat plant .
While the corn market showed advances OF
y to y cents today, oats were y to u cents
lower. Oats were under selling pressure during
the entire day. but corn stood up remarkably
we'll The former was weakened somewhat by
the absence of an export demand up to late
hour in the session, but 1t developed Just be-
fOrs the close that this business amounted 10
50oaoo0 bushels for export in all positions. The
sales here Of cash oats amounted to only 5000
bushels for domestic use and 10000 bushels for
export. There was some reaction and advances
from the bottom prices In this grain. Cash
corn was cents higher for the better grades
while the poor descriptions were unchanged.
Shipments Of lard and meats exceeded those
for the same day last year. Prices in the pit
rather small. There were untitled buying orders
strength in hogs offset the break In grain. The
government Is buying cash meats and lard
from day to day in the various Western mar
kets. but this business Is being done in q quiet
way.
