Continued unfa- | vorable weather in the Northwest, likely to bring about further delay to seeding of Spring wheat, tended also to lift values. Crop experts pointed out that late seeding Spring wheat is more subject to subsequent injury as a result of rust and that consequently delayed j seeding causes apprehension. Chicago opening prices, 15 to 1% higher, May (new) 1.58%2 to 1.59 and July 1.36 to 1.36%, were followed by moderate additional gains and then something of a reaction. & Corn and oats sympathized with wheat strength and also reflected stormy weather as well as smallnes of corn receipts here, 81 cars today with country offerings to arrive mea ger.
