CORN REACHES ITS TOPMOST PRICES
 SINCE LAST JULY
Oats Also Made Good Gains, While Provisions Were Boosted 15c to 65c Over
 Previous Finals
By Associated Press

Chicago, April B. Corn kited today to the topmost prices since last July. The switchmens strike here made shorts in- creasingsly anxious and final quotations were buoyant, 27sc to 4ssc net higher, with May $1.637s to S1.6i, and July, Sl.57ss to sl.5Sik. Oats gained 5sc to .1ssc and pro- visions 15c to 65c.
 Possibilities that the railroad trouble in Chicago assume much larger propor- tions were chiefly responsible for tho growing strain today in the corn market. It was admitted on all sides that with transportation further handicapped the accumulation of any adequate stock ot corn here to fill current contracts would be virtually impossible Lifting a war time restrictions on flour business counted also as bullish factor. Besides, offerings were scarcer even than has been the rule of late, and they quickly found their way into strong hands. Pre- dictions were also current that spring wheat acreage this year would be re- duced instead of augmented. Under such circumstances it was no surprise to wit ness prices at the last jump with some thing of furry.
 Oats ascended with corn brought the highest prices on record for immediate delivery, $1.011a a bushcl for No. white.
 Provisions were lifted by the strength of grain and hogs despite the big stocks on hand.
