In the rye market, wheat and other
grain went rapidly upward in price

pecteo strength in wheat quotations
al Liverpool counted also as stimulus.
as did evidence that urgent foreign
demand for breadstuffs from the
United States was continuing un-
abated. All deliveries of wheat here
rose to a new high price record for
the season. Wheat opening prices,
which ranged from Is to 21s cents
higher, with December 142&4 to
1.43h, and May 1.4SA to 149, were
quickly followed by material further
gains.
Buoyance in the rye market was
due to reports that stocks of rye in
the United States are so nearly
cleaned up that five days of foreign
buying at the recent fast pace would
leave only bare bins until replenished
by new crop receipts. May delivery
of rye, which closed yesterday at 1.27,
jumped today to 1.32.
Corn and oats ascended with wheat
and rye. There was an active trade
in all grain. After opening at Il cent
to Is cent higher; December. Ill to
111A; corn scored an additional up
turn.
Oats started Il to & up, Deem
ber So Il to 56l1, and later showed
about 2 cents gain compared with

Provisions responded readily to the
upward swing of grain and hogs.
simultaneously with the swift upturn
in grain values, the provision market
worked up to new top level for the
season A decrease of 24,000,000 pounds
in the stock of lard here compared with
