T.—Wheat showed decided strength and the volume of trade was fair. The opening was strong on higher cables, with May o to %o higher at 19%@i9lhc. Every- thing seemed to favor the bull side, the out- side markets being strong and s go0d export inquiry being reported at the seaboard. Under these bullish conditions shorts covered freely, which aided In advancing prices still further. A report from San Francisco showing an ad- vance there of 1%c Was one of the principal factors in the upward trend of prices, while the strength In coarse grains also alded the | advance. Toward the end of the session the demand became S0 urgént that May sold up to S03c and the close was 801,GS0%ec, a gain of 1ec. V¥ was more active than for some time , there being & good commission house de- mand, while scalpers also bought liberally with offerings rather light. The close was strong, with May 1:@%¢c higher at 45%@4dlsc. Oats were diréctly influenced by the deciston | of the arbitration committee making the settle- | ment price in the July oats controversy at 57%e. This led shorts to believe that the set- tlement on the board favored thoese wWho manip- ulated the market during the summer and in view of the fact that present indications point | to another attempt to manipulate prices of the May option, there was considerable anxiety | among shorts and covering was general. The % | ctrength in other grains also aided the bulls | The close was at the top for May at 38c, a gein of %@ic. There was a moderate trade in provisions, but the market was firm vn rair commission | house demand and on covering by shorts, who fold expecting Iiberal receipts of hogs to-day. | The strength in grains was an influence late in | the day.
