Trading was comparatively quiet

sion. Trading interests continued to
buy near months, but the demand was
supplied by scattered realizing or
liquidation and there was a little
hedge selling.
Business in the later deliveries was
relatively small and buying on the

by the forecasts for unsettled weather

SCARCITY OF CORN
SUPPLIES STUDIED
Shipping Demand Advances
Prices to Best Levels
Since Last August.
BY JOHN r. BOUGHAN,
Associated Press Market Editor.


CHICAGO. April 25.-Topmost prices
since last August are Just at present
giving particular distinction TO the
corn market.
The active shipping demand for
corn, together with scarcity of rural
offerings, has led to a good deal Of
trade anxiety in view of the meager
supply on hand here. Nearly 10000
bushels Of corn have already been sold
by Chicago handlers for shipment this
month and with the opening of lake
navigation it Is expected there will
be big reduction in stocks.
Registers Sharp Rise
Compared with one week back, the
corn market this morning was ss to
2as cents bushel higher, wheat un-
changed to as up, oats 4 to Il down,
rye u to rs of and provisions varying
from 2 cents decline to a rise Of
cents.
AS matter Of fact, the amount Of
corn purchased to be shipped from
here is well in excess of the actual
immediate supply held in Chicago
public and private elevators. Latest
available figures as to this supply put
the total at only 1927, 900 bushels, Of
which but 492, 900 bushels is of con-
tract grade. Under such circum-
stances the situation In regard to
Chicago May delivery corn contracts
appears decidedly strong, suggesting
to some observers likelihood of mar
ket fireworks ahead.
Facing such a state of affairs in the
heart of the corn belt, little is heard
Of competition with Argentine corn at
the Atlantic Seaboard.
Dominates West Coast.
The imported article, however, Is
dominating the corn trade on the Paci-
fic Coast. An alleviating circumstance
Is that the quality of Spring -shelled
corn is far superior to Winter -shelled,
and many cars of Spring shelled have
been received at leading terminals.
Incidentally. plowing for corn has
made rapid progress the past few weeks
owing to continued dry weather.
A popularity of the wheat trade
outlook is reported unthrifty appear
ance Of the crop in soft. red Winter
States, an effect attributed to severe
Winter weather. Heretofore. of recent
years, the soft, red Winter wheat
States have been a factor in bringing
up total production, and considerably
offsetting small harvests Of hard, red
Winter wheat.
Oats prices reflect chances Of fair
sized deliveries on May contracts.
