ton was a mere comparison and by no
means in any sense q forecast failed,
however, to stop the wave of buying
that followed with rapidly increasing
impetus throughout the remainder of
the day.
Highest prices attained in the wheat
pit came after eastern buying broad
ened out TO a remarkable extent in the
last half hour of the board of trade
session. Meanwhile reports were cir
cu1ated which were taken by many
traders as pointing to likelihood of
government help to bring about higher
farm prices for corn and oats. Re-
sulting strength in the corn market
aided the upward swing Of wheat. In
the final trading in wheat high price
records for the season were outdone,
and the close was almost at the tip
top figures reached.
More activity in the corn market
was shown than for long time past,
aggressive buying disclosing a search
ty of offerings. On the consequent
advance, many standing orders to pur-
chase at various set limits were exc
cuted in order to stop losses on the
part of previous sellers. General new
speculative buying appeared to be bas-
ed largely on belief that the govern
} ment would do something to get better
prices for producers.
The oats market followed corn and
wheat upgrade.
Provisions were weak early, but lat
err advanced with grain despite lower
quotations on hogs.

Chicago Produce Market
(By the Associated Press)


Exciting right-about-face action in
the wheat market today suddenly re-
suited in nine cents a bushel advance
from prices current this morning. the
advance quickly followed word that
Secretary Hoover had said wheat is
worth IS a bushel as compared with
British prices for rubber. Indications
of United States government backing
for measures to control domestic sur
plus crops of grain were also effective
in rushing wheat prices upward with
corn and oats as we'll.

May 1881 to 1856. Corn finished 3sc
to 4Ac up, oats at &c. to Ia &c gain,
and provisions showing a rise of &c
to 35c.
Violently in contrast with this out
come was the fact that before Secre-
tary Hoover's alluSion to IS buShel
for wheat had gained any general
publicity the wheat market had been
undergoing pronounced ua.ar ,,. sednac X
Liverpool quotations today than Chi
cago traders were expecting. Notable
weakness of prices here were early in
duced by talk which was prevalent
that stimulating factors such as the
States government wheat crop estimate
had already been over-discounted. I'm
der such circumstances support for the
market was virtually absent except
after sharp declines In prices.
1t was at this point that the wheat
pit received news which before long
set the trade wild. There have been
references of late of the possibility. Of
the wheat market reaching 81 bushel
this season, but such gossip has gener-
ally been taken with plenty of salt
and as expressing the wish of individ-
ual spectators rather than any sober
authoritative Judgment. Today's an
nouncement that the secretary of agri-
culture had even mentioned So wheat

connection with year end settlements
swelled the total volume of business,
arousing considerable activity in the
Liberty bond list.
With reports of new mergers in the
oil industry given point by the recent
Pacific coast consolidation, buying of
the Petroleum issues was resumed on
a fairly broad scale. Sicily 61as at
tracted the best following, running
up LIS points, with sympathetic adj
vances taking place in the Sinclair
and Pam American liens.
Buying of railroad bonds was con-
fined largely to convertible and other
issues with speculative possibilities.
Chesapeake and Ohio convertible
fives and Delaware and Hudson con-
vertible 5s were among the most ac-
tive members of this group. Allan
tic cosst Line, Louisville and Nash
willie crossed SO to a new top price
fol- this year, but the liquidation of
several investment accounts held
down the general average of high
grade carrier bonds. Southern Pa
cific refunding as and Nickel Plate
issues tended lower.
Price changes in the foreign divi-
sion were insignificant, although
some CT the Mexican obligations ad-
vanced sharply on light transactions.
Continuation of firm money rates and
yearend readjustments, brought
more selling than buying of United
Safes government bonds, with prices
easing off in consequence. Total sales
were $12,353,000.
