Foreign exchanges opened steady. Considerable irregularity developed in the morning trading as # result of extensive switching from a num- ber of the popular industrials into the ofl stocks, the advance in which was given added impetus by another increase in Gulf Coast crude prices.

The feverish buying which has been the rule in Chicago of late, con tinued, however, to be of such extra ordinary volume that the extreme break hera was limited to about four cents a bushel, with quick rebounds of more than two cents in some cases. The fact that prior to weak- ness at Winnipeg, the Liverpool market today was unresponsive to yesterday's advance here, counted as a decided handicap to proponents of higher prices in Chicago. Open- ing figures, which ranged from ic to 38%c lower with May §2.02 to $2.03% and July $1.69 to $1.71, were | police followed by further losses in the de- ferred deliveries and then by rallies all around. Subsequently upturns tn corn and oats helped to strengthen wheat prices. Wheat closed unsettled at Ye to 2%o net lower, May $2.03% to $2.03% and July $1.71% to $1.71%. Corn and oats were governed chiefly by the action of wheat. Speculations, though, were aggres- sive buyers of corn on the down- turna in price, After opening at So to 1%c lower, May $1.31% to $1.42%, the corn market fluctuated rapidly but kept near to the initial range. Later corn and oats developed pronounced strength, owing largely to indications of good export de mand for oats and barley. Corn closed firm, 1%e to 3o net higher, May $136 to $1.35%.
