CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, April 22-R-Wheat
and corr prices today reached highs
that have not been quoted here in
almost three years-$1.13 for May
wheat and 81 IL for September corn
but then fell a cent or more.
After advancing to gains of more
than a cent, wheat closed ga lower
to 3-S higher compared with yester.
days finish, May Sill 5-S-1-2, July
$1.09 3-S-1-4. Corn finished I'M
changed to 3-S higher, May IS, July
IS 1856 and September 66 3-4.
July and September wheat con.
tracts, representing the 1910 crop,
led the late slump, dropping about
? cents from highs established earl.
Ter in the session due to reports Of
favorable weather conditions over
much of the belt and prospects of
scattered showers. Throughout the
session alternating waves of buying
based on war as we'll as prospects
of lower world production this sea
son and selling that reflected profit
taking and hedging against heavy
receipts at most terminals kept the
market unsettled.
Oats closed 1-4-3-8 lower, soy
beans l lower to l 3-S higher. rye
1-2-7-8 up and lard 2-3 higher.
During the session there were
private reports of good rains in
some Kansas localities which tend
ed to weaken the deferred wheat
deliveries. Some interests also were
understood to be switching hedges
from May contracts into July and
September. Private reports SAID
some northwest wheat has been
worked to Chicago the last few
days.
Rejecting the flow of loan grain,
the - principal interior terminals
received 1,775,000 bushels, AIS ,00C
more than a week ago and $4,000
more than a year ago. Minneapolis
and Duluth had 1896 cars compared
with 492 a week ago and 1874 a year
ago. Onlp s days remain for
liquidation of wheat still under
government loan and not eligible
for resealing although traders said
because prices are well above loan
rates farmers are in position to hold
grain off the market longer if they
wish.
