MAY LEADS WHEAT

Buying by India and Poor Crop
Estimate for Australia In
fluence Trading.

7 CHICAGO, Sept 7.--Wheat futures ad-
kanced to a new high on the present up
sirn and a new top on the crop for the

pore outside interest. and at the high
Joint prices were up as much as ~
,ents over the early low. Heavy buying
by commission houses and the local ele-
ders uncovered. May led the advance.
The purchase OF about 100000
bushels of Australian wheat by India
and estimates that the Australian crop
would be around 30.000.000 bushels or
more short of last years crop were the
main bullish influences. The easier tore

ignored by the trade. Final wheat fig-
ures were 2H to IA cents higher,
while corn ruled Il ITO / n cents up and
oats 1s to rs cents higher.
Corn advanced l u to lis cents from
the early low. but did not maintain IT
all. An easier tone was showing early.
but the market turned strong later in
sympathy with wheat. Trading was not
large and mainly of local character.
Oats followed other grains. declining
early only to advance later The South

times, the advance in cotton being fac
tor.
Provisions averaged lower. the feature
being the buying of January and March
lard by houses with Eastern connections.
