Br the Associated Pre CHICAGO, May 6.-—Wheat prices rose wildly today during the early dealings. =~ Announcement that the Spanish government had purchased 2,225,000 bushels of Canadian and { United States wheat was chiefly re- sponsible for the upturn in values. Ag- gressive buying of future deliveries here, especlally on the part of houses with ‘Seaboard connections, accompa- nied the news of the Spanish purchase. Opening prices, which ranged from % decline to 1 advance, May 1.0 to 1.61% and July 1.50% to 1.52, were followed by a sharp ascent all around, with May touching 1.66 and July 1.54. Corn and oats displayed independent strength. Offerings were scarce, and there was considerable talk that avail- able supplies of corn are inadequate to fill minimum requirements of the next six months. After opening at % off to i3 up, May 1.08% to 1.08% and July 1.11% to 1.12%. corn climbed to 1.10% May, and 1.14% July. Oats started at 14 lower to % higher, July 43% to 44, and later showed a moderate gefteral advance. Provisions reflected upturns in the | price .of corn and hogs. Open. Low. CORN— May .

Stock of the Capital Traction Con: pany proved the big surprise of the local market today, sqpring @ net gain of a full point and establishing a new vear's high at 94%. The best mark reached by the issue prior to toda: was 94, a temporary level in January. The securit; was quiet at the open Ing, ten shares selling at 933. The paucity of offerings resulted in a frac tional ‘advance on the next sale, after which a succession of small sales were executed in rapid succession, each a small advance. Earnings of the company for the vear to date do not warrant the pres ent level of the stock, which lead some traders to charge the upturn to the ivn\'psngaunn of traffic conditions in Washington, now being conducteq :_v‘}he !\'rorxh American Company, with vlew of merging mass transpor o faciities in this ity. > - oPortat!
