CHICAGO, May 3.--We do not be-
lieve May wheat will advance serious
ly beyond $1.40 right now. December
wheat expired $1.73 and March wheat
at s1.55. A few months ago wheat at
$1.75 was considered very high and
today $50 wheat is considered just
as high. Wheat crop news mainly
good. Forecast is for frost and prob
ably heavy freeze. Oats deliveries
very heavy at 1,705,000, making
100000 in two days. Looks like fair
ly liberal corn deliveries ahead. Grain
bulge is mainly due to May wheat
tightness. Cash wheat in the west 8
to 5 cents higher along with May
wheat. Wheat receipts are about
standoff Above $140 we believe May
wheat bulls face the chance of bear
ish news later on. Overnight the re-
cent upturns point to the need of new
buying power on bulges.
