CHICAGO, April 90 aggressive
buying, much of 1t attributed to
shorts, drove wheat prices up as
much as 11s cents at times today.
The advance, stimulated by con-
tinuing reports of unfaVorable
weather and crop conditions in the
domestic wheat belt, was on top OF
yesterdays 1ls-22s cents rise and
carried prices to the best level since
last summer. May reached 74's and
the new crop months, July and Sep
tember, reached 1888 and 73 cents,
respectively. At those levels profit
taking checked the advance. But
trade continued active and values
held up well.
Traders generally believed private
crop estimates to be released early
next week would confirm recent re-
ports of deterioration in the South
west. Continued dry weather was
forecast for much of the belt today
and tomorrow, and the weekly re-
port indicated only little rain.
Aiding the upturn was strength
In the cash wheat market, which
has been commanding a premium
of to cents a bushel over the
May future on grades good enough
for delivery on May contracts. To-
day is the first day for giving notice
of intention to deliver cash wheat
on May contracts.
The rise here was despite Liver
pool quotations that we're Il off to

vance here. Rotterdam closed Is
"a up.
Corn was slightly lower under
scattered commission house selling,
although May contracts received
good support at 48 cents.

with rye scoring gains Of as much
as "a cent. Lard prices averaged
