Good Demand Lifts
Rye Prices Sharply
On Chicago Market
Wheat Futures RoIIy,
But Lose Most of
Advance Loter
BY WILLIAM FERRIS,
Associated Press Market Writer.

CHICAGO, May IA good de-
mand for rye, some of which was
presumed to be investment buying,
sent that grain up more than q
cent to new highs for the past
month today. At one time gains ex-
tended to about 2 cents, but late
prof1t-taking shaved the upturn.
Wheat staged strong rally
around midway in the short session,
gains amounting to about a cent, but
most of the ground was lost toward
the close.
Oats Prices Lag.
Oats Jagged throughout the session
and corn remained at ceilings, with
few transactions in the May and
September contracts.
At the finish wheat was Nh
higher, May, 1.44h-H4; July, 1882;
corn was unchanged, May, los; oats
were 1s lower to 70 higher and rye
showed gains of 1-13s cent.
Grain men adopted a favorable
attitude toward rye because of its
wide discount under parity, as COM
pared with other grains, and the
prospect that it would be used more
extensively in livestock feeding. A
private crop forecast placed rye pro-
duction this year at $4,000, 900 BUSH
els compared with $4,000, 900 bushels
harvest in 1912.
With the prospect Of redemptions
Of 1912 warehouse wheat out OF the
way, now that Government loans
on the grain have matured, a better
sentiment developed toward the
bread cereal. Reports of heavy
greenbug damage in Oklahoma, as
well as their presence in Texas and
southern counties of Kansas, were
an additional buying stimulus.
Cash Corn in Demand.
Cash corn dealers reported a good
Eastern demand for the grain, but
country offerings were restricted.
The trade heard rumors that the
Government was considering some
action to force corn supplies into
the market, but what this would in
volve was unknown. May and Sep
tember futures were exchanged at
premium Of ~ to 11a cents for May.

Al AlI-Time Peak
In Last Month
$l79,811.746 in April
Lift 4-Month TotuI
Slightly Above 1912
BY EDWARD C. STONE.

With a jump of s22,o51 ,633.54 over
the same month last year, April
bank clearings in the Capital
reached the highest point for any
month on record, and more than
wiped out the decline of $14y802 ,536
registered in the first three months
of 1943, George H. Bright, manager
Of the Clearing House Association,
announced yesterday.
April clearings scared to $179,811,- :
1857. in comparison with a total in
Cancelled checks in April a year ago
of $157, ,760, 1898 and $15e ,125 POS in
March Of this year. The nearest ap-
proach to this new peak was last
December, when Christmas holiday
business brought the clearings total
to $173, ,299, ,127, but nowhere near the
record for the month just ended.
The unprecedented check activity
IN April was ascribed to two main
reasons - the sweeping increase in
income taxes and the Second War
Bond drive. Tax checks coming
back to the banks early in the month
not only were much larger than ever
In a great many instances, but there
were also a great many more of
them. The tax check activity
brought about notable increase in
clearings before the bond drive
started.
Easter Trade Also Helpful.
The War bond campaign, accord
Ing to financiers, started another
check upswing. In exceeding WASH
mgton's non-bank quota of $42, ,O0O.-
600 by more than $4,000, 600, a ma
jority Of the bonds were paid for by
check, the increase in sales to in
dividuals being vital factor.
Easter trade, the bulk of which came
In April this year, was another i'm
portant reason for the new clearinps
record.
Due to sharp letdown in clear
mgs IN January, the total for the
nrst quarter was slightly under last
year. However, clearings in April
reversed the situation, bringing the
Tour months total to S628, ,167,978. 90
against $62O,918881.4 .43 a year ago. an
increase of s7,249, 9,097.49. The com
