BAD WEATHER
GIVES WHEAT
new STRENGTH
tBy Consolidated Press. }

Chicago, April 1e.-Wheat show
ed much strength at the start to-
day. There were freezing temper
atures over the west and this to-
gether with higher cables induced
much buying. Foreigners were
credited with buying September
wheat Locals were mostly bullish
and they bought but prices broke
sharply when they tried to unload.
Trade was exceedingly small and
oVersold and overbought conditions
were quick to develop. Milling de-
mand for cash wheat was light
only a few cars taken. Seaboard
spoke of a revival of export C.
mand, reporting 100000 bushels
worked up to midday. Other in
tereSts close to the seaboard claim
that the erratic movement of May
wheat makes eport business impos-
sible. A decrease of 5000, 900 bush
els in worlds available supply re-
ported by Bradstreets was a con-
structiye factor. Some talk of dry
weather retarding seeding in Aus
tralla was regarded as the bull fac
tor in foreign markets. Southwest
reports prospects for a bigger
movement next week. Canadian
National Railways removed en-
barge against Fort William and
Port Arthur.
Corn followed the trend of wheat
Commission houses were fair buy
ers early and there was some buy
ing credited to exporters. Locals
were mainly on. the selling side.
Seaboard reported 1000, 900 bushels
of corn worked for export Do
nestle shipping demand was better
but there also was some cancella-
tons reported. Cables were higher.
Discounts for contract grades of
corn were narrower.
Oats followed the other markets.
Commission houses bought and no
sales occurred. An absence of
changing orders featured the trade.
Domestic shipping demand was
better. Cash premiums were bet
ter.
Provisions were dull and easy.
Some selling by packers noted.

BY STUART P. WEST

New York, April 19.-An accum-
ulation Of overnight selling orders
caused irregularity in the first Is
minutes of trading on the curb ex-
change today AS soon as this sup
ply had been absorbed, it was dem
onstrated that the lower prices had
increased the buying orders mater
tally and the market became I'M
usually strong with sharp advances
in many issues. Commission houses.
which had been large sellers in the
late dealings on Tuesday, turned
to the buying side before the end
of the first hour and some of the
professionals on the floor also were
active on the long side.
Some of the demand from traders
was apparently short covering be-
cause these operators were lead
ing sellers when the market turn
ed heavy in the previous session.
Cities Service old common stock
was the strong feature. That issue
was in excellent demand, the buy
ing coming from houses closely
identified with the operating man
agement Short covering also was
in evidence and the market showed
a sensational advance. The bank
ers' stock moved up in sympathy.
The Standard Oil issues, including
the New York, Kentucky and 1ndi-
ana shares, were in excellent de-
mand and advanced ranging from
fractions to a point or more were
recorded in Ohio Oil, Mexican Sea-
board, International Petroleum,
Simms, Petroleum and Fensland.
Motor stocks were higher. reflect

ferred attracted considerable at
tention, the former reaching a new

dealings. Acme Coal was pur-
chased on confirmation of the re-
port that the company had taken

CONSOLIDATED GAS.
The buying OF Consolidated Gas
which made the stock a prominent
feature again today was undoubt-
ediy genuine buying and not mere
! ~ speculative operations for the
rise. The motive of this accumu-
lation is clear enough. In fact it
mas been clear ever since the SUI

There are no railroad stocks on

yet there are none in which the
reason for the present advance are
so mystifying to the public. st.
Paul is one of the few roads which
has not reflected the improvement
in railway conditions to the ex-
tent necessary to cover fixed
charges. The March returns may
tell different story. But in the
meantime the street has to be con-
tent with vague tips and hints of
powerful buying, for the explain
alton of the rise in the st. Pauls.
PACIFIC DEVELOPMENTS.
Trading in Pacific Develop
