UPWARD SWING IN WHEAT NNEWS OF
 FOREIGN BUYING
Corn and Oats Fell in Line on the Advance, While Pro- visions Were Unchanged
 to Somewhat Higher
By Associated Press

Chicago, May 3.-Announcement of vessels charters for shipment of s00,- 900 bushels of wheat out of Chicago , by lake routes gave an upward swing to wheat prices today. but much of the gains failed to hold. The market closed unsettled, at the same as yes- terday's finish to 1 $ c higher. with May sf.44M to s1.45 and July s1.2Sh No S1.2S%. Corn closed ss to 1c up. oats at an advance of 1s CA to B 1 F and provisions unchanged to 35c higher.
 Before the upward tendency of the wheat market was checked, the May delivery touched s1.46, a rise of 2% c a bushel over night The ascent de- rived some of it's impetus from high CT quotations at Liverpool, and this fact as well as the news of vessel charters indicating a liberal outward movement of grain from here led to anxiety on the part of some May shorts to stop losses. Conditions af- fecting the wheat market were large ly reversed nevertheless during the last hour, and for a brief time prices were breaking rapidly. May showing a drop of Sac from early top figures
 The set back was partly due to profit taking on the part of traders who had been in the buying side of the market before noon. more powerful bearish influence, however, came from reports that wheat had been bought at Missouri markets, and at Buffalo and Toledo to come here, and that Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth were also to contribute to the Chicago supply. On the other hand, pit shorts were covering just before the close, and the market was again showing rally. Deliveries on May contracts today were 1S0,000 bushels.
 Delay In planting toegther with talk of broader export demand in- spred active buying of corn. Oats were firmer with corn.
 Higher quotations on hogs gave a lift to provisions.

 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to i4 points on overnight buying orders which were encouraged by steadiness in Liverpool and re- ports of further rains In the south. The advance met more or less gen eral profit-taking, however, and prob ably scattered selling for a reaction. which became a little more active on the forecast for gradually clearing weather in the southwest. There was scattered buying early on expecta- tions of bullish weekly report from the weather bureau, which proved : but which had evidently been dis counted as its publication failed to in- spire any fresh buying of conse- quence.

MARKET WAS MORE OR LESS NEGATIVE
 IN NET RESULTS s
Quotations For Call Money Showed Demand Funds Were Less Plentiful
 Than in April
By Associated Press

New York, May 3.-Apart from the oils, which monopolized the greater part of speculative attention, to- gether with several of the indepen- dent steels, shippings and coppers, today's stock market session was more or less negative in its net re- suits.
 Under guidance of Associated Ol which registered a further gain of 6% points, or a total of 1894 for two days, various issues of that type changed hands In enormous lots at advances of ? to points.
 Among the outstanding features were Standard Oils of California and New Jersey, California Petroleum, Pacific and Houston oils. Texas com pany, Freeport Texas and producers and refiners. Several of these have been mentioned recently in connec- ton with rumors of probable "mer- gera-"
 European and Mexican oils did not share appreciably in the rise of tho domestic division. Royal Dutch and Shell Trading were under tntermit- tent pressure, presumably as A result of conflicting reports respecting the so-cailed soviet concessions.
 Other individual features of strength included BoScn MaSneSo' Etromberg Carburetor. Mercantile Marine common and preferred, Mack Trucks and several of the food and chemical specialties. There was a marked falling off in the demand for motors, equipments and affiliated i'm drstrials which gave pronounced weight to the March-April rise.
 Rails figured to & smaller degree than before, although the later deal tngs were characterized by some in- Quiry for pacifics, New York Gen. tral, Now Haven and several of the grangsrs, Omaha making a point gain.
 An initial quotation of A per cen, for call money. the maximum open tpg ratc in several weeks, indicated that demand funds were less plenti- full than in April. Time money rates were unsltered. but in that quarter also offerings were smaller.
 For the third consecutive day British exchange moved counter to the general trend of international re- mittances. Sterling held at &43N for demand bills, but allied ex- changes, German marks and the more important neutrals eased to 8 points. .

 New Orleans, May 3.-Fluctuations were wide and trading was heavy in cotton today. Price changes were rapid, both above and below the level of yesterdays close, continued un- favorable crop and weather news be- ing responsible for the upturns while liquidation by longs who wanted their profits caused the downturns. On the close the net changes for the day were surprisingly narrow. con sidering the extent over which prices ranged during the day. The list showed net gains of but 2 to 15 points, May closing Is up at 1S.40c and October closing 2 up at 1S.5Sc.
 The opening was higher and the first swings in the price carried the market upward 13 to IF points, July rising to 18.61c. Heavy realizing met this advance, causing a reaction and from then on throughout the ses- sion there was regular up and down movement, upturns always being met by realizing while the downturns tempted In new buying. Highest prices were reached in the late trad- ing on rumors of further rains in Texas, which some brokerage houses claimed were not well founded. At the highest the market was 23 to 34 points up net, on the more active months; at the lowest 1t was 25 to 27 points down net. July traded as high as 1S.70c and as low as 1S.20c. Lowest levels were reached around the mid dle of the day.
 The opening bulge was due to further rains in the belt and rather pronounced upturn followed the read ing of the weekly crop reports at the middle of the morning as they were Hanera1lv ron neiderad fO ho inf ble on the whole.
