Chicago. ILL.,, May 1.-THE Tribune:
GRAlN-Wheat is to be sold by the gov
ernment at $2.45 for No northern at Chi
cago, commencing May 20, or 10 cents more
than the basic price. Only moderate guam
titles are to be offered. Flour prices were
not lowered yesterday, but a break is ex-
pected. With good weather and declining
prices for wheat, which was off 10G15
cents for the day, anu the Barnes state
cred, coarse grain traders were more in
clined to the bear side. The break in rye
of 81 cents of late, also the drop in barley,
were against the bulls in corn and made
shorts sellers more aggressive especially
on the breaks, when they oversold as is
their custom of late. The rally at the last
posed to look for lower and irregular
prices, with plenty of bulges from time
to time, but almost anything can happen,
as many traders see it. Despite the bear
is factors, there are many traders who
believe higher prices for corn, arguing that
lowering wheat prices will not fill sales
of corn. Another point made was that the
cash corn in store here has passed into
strong hands the last three days. Oats ac-
ton in way that discourages new buying
for an advance and also makes shorts ner-
yous. A number of locals covered late in
the day, causing small rally, when sew
100000 bushels sold for export. May rye
closed 24 cents under May corn, a spread
that attracted considerable attention and
created little bearish sentiment.
New York. May 15.-The Financial News
Bulletin: STOCKS-The fact that the mar
heI averages are again pointing up enter
ing new territory, in volume and with
standard issues that have been backward
becoming more conspicuous is sustaining
bullish sentiment and making for more
confidence. The diversion of activity in
new standard channels is taken to mean
that warnings against excess are being
needed. Short covering is expected to con-
tfnue in the steel and rail lists where the
bear element is thoroly frightened over the
appearance of aggressive buying. The gem
eral basic trend upward gives no definite
indication of change. The stronger the
precautionary measures the more pro-
longed the bullish activity. in our opinion.
