CHICAGO, May 1.—All the wheat that was delivered on May contracts was readily taken by exporters to- day and as a result the market ten: ed upward in price during the early dealings. Unsettled weather in th? spring crop belt tended also to lift values. - May commanded a decided premium .again over later deliveries, although July and September were in active request from houses with eastern connections. ‘The opening, which varied from unchanged figures to %e higher, with May $1.22% to % and July $1.22% to %, was follow- ed by material gains all around. Subsequently, the bears had an advantage owing to estimates given out by a leading authority indicating that Winter wheat acreage abandon ment would be smaller than had been expected and that the crop condition was higher. Breaks in stock market quotations at this juncture tended further to send wheat prices down grade. Corn and oats were firm with wheat. After opening: % to ‘4c higher, with July 82% to 82%, the corn market hardened a little more. Later, the corn market suffered a decline when wheat prices gave away. Corn closed unsettled, %ec net lower to 4c advance. July 81% to 81%. Oats started at a shade decline to Yeo advance, July 45% to % and later showed gains for all months.
