WHEAT IS BOOSTED
.BYFORE|CN0RDERS
Purchases Reported as High
as 10000, 900 Bushels
After luII.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO. April 8.-European ma
tions, led by Great Britain, made their
heaviest single days buying of wheat
in months today and as a result world
prices scared 3 to cents a bushel
Total purchases in the international
market, including the United States,
Canada, Austria and Argentina were
estimated by traders as high as 10000
600 bushels, a sharp contrast to recent
hand-to-mouth takings from abroad.
Reports indicated the United King
dom acquired 13 to 20 cargoeS OF
Australian wheat, cargoes of new
Canadian grain for fall shipment. 3
cargoes from Argentina and 7 to 9
cargoes of United States hard winter
grain, Continental nations were un-
derstood to have bought 100000 bushels
OF hard winter. Greece also was re-
ported in the market.
Traders here, with Chicago wheat
futures prices up as much as cents
in early dealings, attributed the sud-
den buying rush to reports of frost
damage In the domestic winter wheat
belt. Prices for new American wheat
have been around the lowest level in
three years recently and foreign deal
ers were believed to be taking ad-
vantage of this situation.
Heavy buying of futures here lifted
May wheat to above 68 cents a bushel,
while July scared to more than 80
cents. Liverpool prices were more than
cents higher. while at Winnipeg
corresponding gains we're recorded.
The upturn in securities prices at
New York, inf1ationary gossip in the
financial district and low temperature
readings in the Southwest were addi-
tlonal factors. Recent crop estimates
indicated the largest winter wheat
harvest since 1881 and the third
largest on record was possible. How
ever, frost and colder weather have
caused some concern for the crop con-
dition.
The United States has exported So
100000 bushels Of wheat. including
1lour, since last July l. This volume
mas fallen behind earlier expectations.
however and many traders recently
nave been disappointed by the lack of
interest OF foreign buyers in American
wheat. Australia. Canada and Ar
gentina also sold wheat to Great
Britain today.
