: CHICAGO, May 3.-Wheat took a
moderate upward swing in price to-
day during the early dealings, values
being strengthened somewhat by an
nouncement that vessel charters had
been made here yesterday for the
shipment of 500, 900 bushels of wheat
by lake routes. Besides. Liverpool
quotations showed a tendency to rise.
Deliveries of wheat here continued to
be made steadily on this months con-
tracts, but the amounts rendered were
relatively small. The opening, which
ranged from q decline to Is advance.
with May, LA to 1.44A and July.
1.2Sb to 1.2Sk. was followed by a
slight setback and then. by material
gains all round. especially for May.
Future delivery buying on the part
of houses with export connections
gave independent firmness to the corn
market After opening unchanged
to u higher. July. S5S to IS y. prices
assembled all around to well above
yesterdays finish.
Oats sympathized with other cereals,

Reports of delayed planting in the

bullish factors. The eiose was unset

6bA a6on to 66ss.
Subsequently efforts on the part of
some shorts to stop losses in the May
delivery led to a decided further ad-
vance in wheat prices for that month,
but profit taking sales later led to a
reaction. There was some talk, too,
of bringing wheat here from Toledo.
The market closed unsettled at the
same as yesterdays finish to 1as
