WHEAT PRICES
GO HIGHER AS
MARKET OPENS

Chicago, April 26.-There was
little trade in wheat after the open
ing furry. The start was sharply
higher. Eastern houses bought
July and there was a little buying
in May, believed to be for short ac-
count. The early buying was
prompted by reports of a purchase
of 100000 bushels of English
flour by Russian merchant Cold
er weather and frost predicted for
a few states tonight, as we'll as the
big export business, worked on
the break. After the opening,
trade was mostly in the way of
changing. Commission houses sold
May and bought July while cash
houses bought May and sold July
Commission houses appeared to
have May for sale every time the
prices reached 1.421a Milling de-
mand for wheat was quiet.
Seaboard reported export bust
ness quiet but there are some or
ders in the market for new wheat
slightly below workable basis.
Receipts are heavier but under a
year ago. Outside cash markets
were heavy
Corn was affected by the trend
in wheat. An export concern sold
corn at the start. These offerings
were well absorbed, many of the
big floor traders expressed bullish
opinions and picked up corn on the
dip. A reaction later resulted
from realizing sales The demand
for cash corn continued good but
there was less desire to sell and
business today was not so large as
of late.
Oats followed the trend of corn.
Bulk of the trade consisted of
changing. Cash oats met with a
more restricted demand and ship
ping sales were less than the day
before.
Provisions had a firm tone.
Short coverings on the strength in
hogs were a factor. Pork sold at
the highest level of the season.
Wheat broke sharply in the last

VEGETABLES AND
FRUITS GO LOWER

Chicago. April ga general
downward price trend was noted
today in the weekly crop and market
review of fruits and vegetables. The
cause given is increasing supplies,
Shipment of dozen leading lines
was reported as almost 20 per cent
heavier than their combined volume
year ago, although spinach, Gel
cry and apples are decreasing.
With liberal offerings, potatoes
cabbage, lettuce and Strawberries
all showed weakness. Texas onions
showed a sharp decline. Few potato
movements were active, while sweet
POTATOES showed irregularities.
Other vegetables, including aspar-
agus and string beans declined in
price.

THE OIL SITUATION.
The situation in the oil industry
mas undergone a change this week
which is considered exceedingly IA
Vorable to the majority of An,eri-
can oil producers. For some tire
past the large production in tie
Mexia and Haynesville fields has
peen looked upon as a menace to
the prosperity of the oil industry.
but with a heavy slump in daily
production in both fields this mec-
ace has ben removed. The same
applies to Mexico. In addition 70
this slump in production there is
an increased demand for the finer
grades of oil which are used in fac
tories. The demand for gasoline
also is growing and will continue
to grow because of use by automo-
biles.
STEEL STOCKS.
Following the report for the first
quarter U. 5. Steel, common, open
ed up fraction, but in the later
dealings attracted comparatively
little attention. AS had been ex-
pected the street laid stress upon
the sharp progressive increase in
earnings by months rather than
upon the result for the entire quar-
ter, with its deficit after dividends
of S6,749,468. The difference be-
tween the January net of $4,654, 134
and the March net of $S,505, 166 was
the important thing for it showed
that the Improvement since. the
turn came in the steel trade two
months ago has been sufficient to
enable the steel corporation to
somewhat more than cover divi-
dends on the common stock. Still.
at the present prices of the stock
there was nothing to enthuse about
in the show; therefore the dispo-
sition was to simply let it alone.
Shares of companies figuring in the
independent steel merger were CIV
en- a brief whirl in the course of

Iron and Steel got up to their pre-
