RECORD HEIGHTS
 MADE IN GRAINS
 ON THE LATE CROP
In Provisions. the Outcome Varied From Twenty Gents Decline to a Rise of Seven and One-half
 Cents
By Associated Press


 Chicago, May 3.-Grain prices Jumped to record heights today Uneasiness in regard to the lateness of the 1920 crop season, together with statements by trade leaders calling attention to short age of farm labor and of world sup plies, were largely responsible. Corn closed nervous at 2&c to 41sc net ad- vance, with July s1.6SA to $1.6sk and September $1.6Ol5 to si.6O7s. Oats gained 1Ac to 44c. In provisions. the outeome varied from % decline to a rise of 7ihc Urgent buying on the part of shorts began 10 hoist the corn market soon as trading opened. and there was at no time any important reaction Bears had been so thoroughly vanquished of late that they did not dare to sell in view of existing railway traffic conci- tons with not enough grain arriving here to meet the ordinary hand-to-mouth demand. The May delivery led the up- turn at first, but later there was free covering by shorts in July and Septen- Der as well. Much of the demand came from eastern stock traders For the time being, apparently, financial condi- ticns were ignored insofar as the grain markets were concerned.
 Oats responded to the same influences governing the corn market
 Demand for provisions was confined almost entirely to lard.

About a year ago a report was clrcu- lated in the financial district that Great Britain had in mind a plan by which she would be able to take up her portion of the debt owed to the United states government by her-some S4W0,VOO OOO. According to this report, England pur- posed absolute control over the oil fields of the world similar to her former con trol of the deposits of tin ore. Her eX- perts figured upon the amount of oil con- slmed by the American industries as wcll as the amount of oil produced and likely to be produced. They also made an estimate of the worlds demand upon the United States within a few years for petroleum and it's various products, espe- cially gasoline and lubricating oil. These estimates. if accurate. indicated that the United States might be compelled to within a few years import as much as 800. GOO 900 barrels of petroleum a year. If this petroleum cost American indus try s2 a barrel, then the annual import of it would aggregate s1,0o0 900. In four years, therefore. our imports Of pe- troleum, chiefly from English owners, might be great enough to onset Eng lands debt on account of funds borrowed from the government while the war was in progress.
 The report seemed little highflown but it has persisted, until now Sir Mac key Edgar goes so far as to say that 1t is not improbable that there will be an annual payment by the American in- dustry of s1,Oo0 100000 Most if not all of which will find its way into British pockets.
 This estimate, however, according to the oil industrial leaders. seemed to leave out of consideration the fact that this country will continue to export petro- leum products in enormous amounts. The great markets for these products are now controlled by the Americans. England may dominate the oil fields or the great CT part of the world, but in all probabil- ity she can never match the industrial oil activities of the United States. She cannot match them In pipe lines, In re- fineries and in the wonderful application of science is bestowing upon petroleum. Here will remain in all probability the greatest oil industry in the world. all though 1t is not at all improbable that we must buy vast amounts of crude petroleum in order to furnish it's supply to the refineries. This is the tentative answer some of the leaders of in the American oil industry make to Sir Mackey.
 No one can tell, however, what the re- suits of the prospective prospecting for oil now in progress throughout the con- tinental United States may be. The other day President Teagle said that it was not impossible that enormous re- sources of oil would be discovered in Alaska. If that territory has oil in great amounts the transportation is sure to be furnished. The far northwest is likely to yield unexpectedly large sup plies of new petroleum Nevertheless. it is true that by reason of our lack of foresight and cur indifference to conserv- aton, position has changed so that now we are actually importing petroleum in large amounts from Mexico and South America, although some of the Mex ican petroleum is under the control of American capital

OCK MODERATELY
 TIVE AND STRONG. iTH A LATE RALLY.
Contraction In Credits Was In Evidence, But This Did Not Apply to Call
 Money
By Associated Press

T New York, May 3.-Stocks were mod rately active and strong at the open ng of today's broad market and ex- tremely reactionary during the mid season, but rallied vigorously in many instances toward the end, when money rates eased perceptibly.
 There was further liquidation of speculative accounts, especially in hish priced specialties, but large propor- ton of the days offerings again orig mated from professional sources, ac- cording to board room gossip.
 Contraction of credits was in evil dence, although this did not apply to call money, which relaxed even before the final hour from it's opening rate of 8 per cent to ', some loans being made under that rate at the close. Rumors of probable advance of the local dis count rate proved to be unfounded, but greater firmness was shown by the market for mercantile paper.
 Failure of the May Day disturb ances to materialize was accepted as a favorable factor. but general industrial developments were not of a construc- tive character. From New England came reports of prospective let-down in the textile and leather trades, while the railroad situation was again com plicated by greater freight congestion at all leading terminals between this city and Chicago.
 The market was slow to respond to the decision of the supreme court de- nying the petition of the government for a reopening of the United States Steel case, but the entire list strength ened when buying of oils and equip ments became too insistent to be ig- nored. United States Steel closed un changed, but several independent stocks of that division made substan- tial gains With petroleums.
 Three Liberty issues-the 3hs, frs. <s and third 4As-establshed still lower quotations, and the entire bond market was inclined to east. Total { ales (par value) aggregated s13,250,- { 100. On call the old United States 2s rose lac and and the As Ac.
