EUROPEAN NEED OF FOODSTUFFS PUT STRENGTH IN PIT
Corn ClOsed1 1 1-4c Net High CT, While Oats and Pro-
 visions Both Made
 Advances
By Associated Preu

Chicago, April 12.-Urgent European need of foodstuffs gave increased strength today to the grain and pro- vision markets here.
 Corn closed firm, 14c to 1 Ac net high CT, oats up %c to 1 E c. and provisions 1t an advance of S2 to 70.
 Bullish sentiment as to corn received impetus mainly from statements by food administration officials. One state ment was to the effect that compre- hensive survey indicated world demaQd for wheat would absorb virtually the entire surplus from the 1919 harvest In the United States without impairing g much if at all the s1,000, 900 guaran- tee fund provided by Congress. Anoth- er statement from the food adminiStra- ton said that immense shipments of foodstuffs within the next 50 days were vital to the maintenance of life and or der in Europe. Strength of hog prices. together with a decrease of country of ferings of corn, tended-further through out the day to handicap the bears in the corn market, notwithstanding gos- sip that the car supply would improve next week and would bring about more plentiful receipts.
 Oats displayed independent strength owing to predictions of further wet weather delay to seeding.
 Enlarged export demand hoisted pro- visions. Lard. which was especially wanted, jumped to sS0 tierce for May delivery.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, April 12.-A small and IT, regular market prevailed in cotton today. For the first time since the cotton futures act was amended there was no trading at all in the odl contracts. New contracts stood at their highest, to points over yesterdays close, and then traded dowr to a level 10 to 19 points under yesterday s final prices. The close was unchanged to 10 points down net.
 Weekend evening up occupied the greater part of the session. Whatever downward tendency the market had was mainly due to expectations of unfavoraoie figures on American consumption during March from the census bureau the first thing Monday morning. Greatly improved weather conditions in the belt about pal anced the more favorable tone of politlcal news. Around the opening the more ac- tive months were to 10 points off, after which there was rise until July touched 23.7Sc. This was the highest level ana during the remainder of the day trading was marked by a slight sagging move ment.
 For a while, following the posting of the forecast, selling increased on prospects o. continued better weather in the cotton region. The tone on the close was barely steady.
