CHICAGO, May 10.-Demand for
May wheat contracts. in which
trading will cease in about two weeks,
and continued unfavorable weather
for crops over much of the grain
belt caused another sharp rise in
wheat values here today.
May wheat shot up more than
cents a bushel to 1884, highest
level in almost a year, while 1882
crop contracts. July and Septem-
ber. rose about a cent at times.
There have been no deliveries
on May wheat contracts so far this
month and outstanding contracts
involving approximately 100000
bushels remained to be settled. The
deliverable supply of wheat here
was estimated at around 100000
bushels.
Dust storms were reported in parts
OF the Southwest
Although reacting from the DAYS
highs. wheat closed ls-17s higher
than yesterday. May, 7Sls-14; July,
74ia-ls; September, 74is IA; corn,
