BRIGHTER ON WHEAT
Increasing Demand Fore
seen for American Grain.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, May 12.-An in
creasingly optimistic view G. the
wheat situation is being taken by
the federal farm board, despite the
enormous surpluseS piled up here
and abroad.
World developments have created
the prospect of a greater demand
for American wheat.
Since the war Canada, the Argen-
tine, India and Australia too have
expanded their wheat acreages. The
United States, by reason of its
Stabilization project, has kept the
price some 25 cents above the world
level. Australia is said to be the
worst sufferer.

GRAIN FUTURES
HOLD EVEN IN
DULL TRADING
Lack of Needed Rain Is
BuIIiSh Factor in
Wheat Pit.
BY HAROLD E. RATNYILLE
United Press STAFF Correspondent

CHICAGO, May 12.-Strength in
corn gave wheat firmer under
tone on the Board of Trade
today although trade was very
dull. Lack of pressure and
dryneSs in the northwest were fac
tors in the advance. The farm
board reaffirmed its intention to
withdraw from stabilization efforts
with the end of May, and also an
nounced that its 35.000000 bushels
OF wheat held to export. had been
almost completely disposed Of.
Moderate activity in corn with a
large local professional gain on the
buying side gave that grain good
gain. There was some selling on
the bulge. Oats moved with corn
but trade was very small.
Close Is Higher
AT the close wheat was y to "a
cent higher with Nav unchanged.
corn was S to 5 cent higher and
oats were 4 to y cent higher. Pro-
visions were easy.
Liverpool recovered toward the
close and finished Is to s. cent
higher. There was no rain in
Canada or the American northwest
but Winnipeg did not seem to be
strengthened thereby. Frost was re-
ported in Kansas. Cash prices
were unchanged to Z cent higher.
Receipts were At cars.
Corn gained fractionally early. but
met some selling and at midsession
was sc lower to sc higher. The
weakness was in July.
Weather Improves
The weather improved over the
belt, but there is a general lack of
sunshine which is now very necessary.
Resumption of planting operations
is expected shortly. Trade was dull
as in wheat. Cash prices were un-
changed to &c higher Receipts
were 80 cars.
Oats had a fair degree Of strength
early in sympathy with corn and at
mid-morning stood unchanged to
&c higher. Trade likewise was at
a StandStill during the morning.
Cash prices were y to 1c higher.
Receipts were 10 cars.

on continued drought in the
Canadian northwest.
Call money was advanced TO 1l2
per cent after renewing at / per
cent the same as Monday when
the renewal was at that figure for
the first time since Sept. 9, 1908.
The rise in call money was in
duced by Withdrawals from the loan
market by interior lenders no longer
satisfied with the yield obtainable
there. Time money rates eased
off and helped United States Gov
ernment bonds advance, but other
issues we're irregularly lower.
Another evidence of the easier
money policy adopted by the fed
eral reserve when it cut the New
York rediscount rate to IL per
cent last Thursday, was noted today
in the ease with which the city Of
New York sold $52,00O,000 of per
cent bonds at 286 per cent. The
Offering was oversubScribed in ten
minutes and the price commanded
a premium on the bond market.
Industrials Meet Support
Money conditions had no appar-
ent effect on the stock market, in
fluenced by the poor showing made
by New York Central railroad in
the first quarter when a deficit of
nearly $145,00 was reported, against
a profit of nearly $8,5OOC00 for the
corresponding period of 1880
Industrial stocks, however, met
support from time to time and
moved back and forth irregularly.
Steel got as high as 11212 from a
low of HOS.
Oils were fairly steady on sharp
reduction in output as a result OF
curtailment in Texas fields. Texas
Corporation, an exception, broke a
point in anticipation of dividend
reduction.
Special pressure was noted against
Vanadium, A. M. Byers, Fox Film A,
Allied Chemical, Worthington Pump
and others, but selling was not
heavy
J. l. Case met support in the
afternoon, as did Paramount, the
latter profiting by a smaller than
expected pairing fthe dividend.
Auburn Automobile fluctuated be-
tween 2511A and 24O and closed at
242ia, off 91a points.
