CHICAGO, April 17.-In sharp con-
trast with an abrupt advance OF
market today kept within moderate
bounds during the early trading. The
Tendency Of prices was still upward.
hut fluctuations were rapid. and the
activity was of a character to fndt-
cate that the struggle was to be a
two-sided one for at least the time
being. The chief influence was the
nuestion whether sufficient wheat
would be on hand In Chicago to set
lie contracts for delivery during May
and the sharpness Of Saturdays ad-
vance caused friends OF higher prices
to exercise unusual caution. Opening
prices. which varied from Y decline
to / advance for the market taken as
whole, with May at 1.42a1:43h and
July l.26h a1.26K, were followed by
gains Of : cents in some cases. but
then q setback to about the initial
range.
Corn and oats were lifted in value
by the strength Of wheat. After open
inR HaN higher. july 65A a6b u, the
corn market eased on little. but
hardened again later.

Profit taking on the part Of owners
Of wheat set in today on the board OF
trade and caused prices to fall dur
ing the Anal dealings. Export inquiry
WAS slack and 30 also was the call
for wheat for milling purposes. There
was an unsettled finish at Y to "a
net decline, with May 1.40h to 1.4o%
and July 1.24% to 1.26.
Toward the last the corn marker
acted in sympathy with the WEAKNESS
Of wheat The close was easy. u to
