Chicago Produce Market
Chicago, May 2

chicago, May =.
With more buying orders in the
some time, wheat prices today took a
decided upward swing. Rapidity with
which big deliveries on May contracts
here were absorbed and higher quota
tons at Liverpool had much to do with
sending values higher. Wheat closed
to 1858 and July 1918 to 1.07t: Other
to and provisions &c to 1oc.
New deliveries on May wheat con-
tracts today totalled 100000 bushels.
but from the outset the market showed
a tendency to soar. Bulls had things
virtually their own way and there was
an evident broadening Of the geenral
| trade. Continued liberal European de-
mand for Canadian wheat acted as a
special stimulus here in connection
with the fact that the Liverpool mar
ket closed strong and that indications
pointed to dock strike in Argentina
tomorrow shutting off exports perhaps
from that country. Besides. predic-
tions that the McNary- Haughen bill at
Washington would be considered in the
House before the end of the week were
also given considerable natice.
Firms with eastern connections and
elevator interests here were active pur-
chasers of July wheat. Part of this
buying was regarded as back spread
ing against Winnipeg transactions.
There was gossip current. too. that
reduction of domestic spring wheat
acreage might prove greater than here
| tofore supposed.
Corn advanced briskly with wheat.
Corn offerings were scarce, and 1t was
said there was good export demand
| in evidence at New York. No pressure
to sell oats was apparent. Packers
| were buyers of provisions, lard in par
| ticular.

Other Investigations proved that
automobiles were not economical for

time and money savers for the special
salesman who had no regular or close

cred that neighborhood stores located
in the outskirts Of the city could be
better reached by the salesman in his
car. Sales executives in virtually
every line of business have found
that fully 500 of their force can sell

1t has a large baggage compartment

Reports from Oldsmobile dealers

in fleets of Oldsmobile cabs for their
sales force. The increased use of
this type car for business purposes
is but another proof Of the extensive
part the automobile plays in the
business world"
