TODAY'S CHICAGO PRICES.
CHICAGO. February 4-Wheat ran
up rapidly today to new high price
records for the season, with buyine
active and offerings light. Unfavor-
able weather was bullish factor, and
so likewise was a statement from
President Coolidge regarding pro-
posed assistance for wheat farmers
The Presidents stand was construed
as likely to result in material curtail-
ment of spring wheat acreage. Open
ing prices, which ranged from n to
l2a5s higher May, 1.11s to liz, and
July. 1.11A to LIS, were followed
by decided further gains.
Corn and oats derived strength
from wheat. Country offerings of
corn to arrive here were small. After
opening at Aass lower to s ad-
vance, May sos to sos, the corn
market scored a moderate general
upturn.
Oats started * off to " up, May
49 to 4S1s. and later showed gains all
around.
Provisions were firm in response to
higher quotations on hogs
