Chicago Grain
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, July 26-Wheat prices
advanced more than a cent bushel
today to the highest general level
in more than two weeks. Selling
above Sill, May. 1912, contracts
reached the highest price quoted for
any delivery here since May, 1910,
and were within 2 cents of the best
quotation posted here in the last
four years.
Corn prices advanced about cent,
May, 1912, contracts selling near 81
cents, highest for any delivery since
1887. Some oats and rye contracts
were at new highs for the season.
Buying in the grain pits was
attributed to commercial interests,
including mills. and professionals.
the latter acting partly on hot
weather and on strained relations
between this country and Japan.
Reports that congressional wishes
regarding farm parity prices would
be considered in new price control
legislation also attracted attention.
Wheat closed 1-112 cents high

NEW YORK, July 26.-Cotton fu-
lures recorded new ll-year high
marks today after initial declines OF
almost 81 bale.
Persistent trade, New Orleans and
local buying overcame early nervous
ness and prices confidently moved
forward under the impetus OF Sen
ate Agricultural Committee ap-
proval of action which would freeze
Government cotton loan stocks.
Contracts were offered freely at
the outset in the way of commission
house liquidation inspired by appre-
hension over JapaneSe-United States
relations.
