the first time prices have touched 81

ished at &c to &c off, oats lie to 1sc
down, and provisions showing 10 to

big profit-taking sales accelerated
the break in wheat values, but the
market had given an impressive dis
play of strength due largely to unoffi-
cial estimates that domestic farm

exception. other unofficial figures In
dictated only 100000 bushels of
wheat left for export from this coun--

the next four months after allowing

ments.
July delivery of wheat established
a new high price record for the season
and went to a smaller discount under
May. 1t was also apparent that gen
eral speculative interest in the July
delivery was steadily growing larger.
On the other hand. the relative weak
ness of May at the last today was ac-
centuated by evidence that foreign
markets were hesitating to follow al
yances in the face of heavy world
shipments and a material increase or
the amount of wheat afloat.
Corn advanced to within &c of the
highest price July delivery has reach
ed this season, helped by unofficial
estimates that farm stocks of corn
are the smallest on record, barring
two exceptions. Shipping demand,
however, was light and profit taking
sales were heavy. Oats prices. Jagged
