Corn Prices Advance on Chicago Market With May in Lead Other Grains, Especially Wheat, Sag Listlessly to Lower Levels ■ V Wheat Closes ^ to ^4 Cents Lower—Corn *4 to 1 Cent Higher. By CnlTansl Sorts#. Chicago, April 1.—Active support entered the corn pit today as a re sult of the strengthened cash situa tion. prices advancing well, with May In the lead. Other grains, especially wheat, suffered for the want of de mand and sagged listlessly to lower levels. The- lack of foreign Inquiry and the maintenance of favorable crop prospects in the southwest dis courage wheat bulls. • Wheat closed Vjc to \c lower; corn was Vt to lc higher; oats were un changed to ’,4c down, and rye ruled ’a to S£c lower. Those who toon the Buying eiae oi wheat early, largely In sympathy with the yellow cereal, »old at the close. The weakness at Winnipeg again reflected an indifferent foreign demand and renewed advices from sbroad to the effect that buyers were shunning nearby wheat were influ ences that hurt the market. Corn, buoyant most of the day, finished at the best levels reached. Several of the bulls who have been among the best buyers until lately were again back in the market. Cov ering by shorts was facilitated and • the heavy absorption of the May against sales of the July by rash in terests tended to tighten up a pit condition. 1 Commission house trade in the oats pit was moderate with prices swing ing more or less with wheat. Rye eased with other grains. News was more or less featureless and the market sagged for want of specula tive interest. Provisions were slightly firmer at the close. Lard wan unchanged to fic higher and ribs were unchanged to 2He up. Pit Notes. Growing weather over wide areas of tho winter wheat belt Is wanted, and particularly by those who wish to ascer tain the present condition of the plant. Kxperta claim that there seldom has been each little growing weatner up to this season of the year. B. W. Snow says that the extent of winter killing In Ohio, Indiana and Illinois will not be actually determined* until temperatures rise. There was eome selling of wheat fu tures today by traders who were credited with buying corn. Also reported rain In California where the crop has suffered from a long drouth led to moderate sell ing. The firmness In securities at times reflected a better undertone to wheat but support was not forthcoming. Millers In the - United Kingdom ere cautious buyers, being in a position where they can afford to show little snxlsty. It is said that wheat afloat combined with the weekly shipments that ere ar riving In volume abroad will supply millers with their needs. Liverpool fu tures closed % to % penes higher for the clay. Supplies of wheat In the Argentine are large and sales from there to Europe, according to foreign statisticians are rela tively in excess of a year sgo. At that it is said the southern hemisphere still holds about 80,000,000 busnels mors wheat than a year ago, or approximately 126, 000,000 bushels. CHICAGO CASH PRICES. By rpilk. Grain Company.

While constructive Interests were encouraged by Washington reports that leaders of the two major parties In the senate intended to expedite pending legislation and that adminis tration officials were hopeful regard ing a 25 per cnnt reduction on 1923 Income taxes before congress ad journs, they made no concerted ef fort to boost prices. Floor traders reported that most of the buying came from short Interests. Strength and activity of St. Paul preferred, which touched a new 1924 high at 29 12 and closed slightly be low fhat figure for a net gain of nearly 2 paints, wad one of the few features. The buying apparently was baaed on the Improved earning position of the road, as revealed In the February statement, as the stock is one of the few on the "big board” for which there has been no thought of dividend action. Reports of further curtailment of activity in the Youngstown district failed to affect the steel shares, United States Steel common and the Independent Issues showing slight fractional gains. Bethlehem moved up nearly a point on the announce ment by President Grace that March shipments and production were the largest of any month since the mid dle of 1923. Oils made only a feeble response to reports of an advance in prices of Gulf Coast crude oil, although Mar land closed a point higher at 37 1-3. Rubber shares yielded slightly on the announcement that dividend action on Kelly Springfield 8 per cent pre ferred had been postponed for one week. American Can closed nearly a point higher, at 105 1-4, despite Ale circu lation of bearish rumors about that stock before the market opened. American Woolen was heavy In the early dealings, touching 67 3 4, but it snapped back later to 69 1-4, up 7-8 on the day. Jones Brothers Tea touched a new low at 18 1-2 and then rallied 3 points. Dupont, General Electric and U. S. Alcohol were the strong spots among the specialties. Outside of St. Paul preferred. In terest In the railroad group was con fined largely to Chesapeake A Ohio and Norfolk A Western, each of which moved up about 1 1-2 points. N. Y. Curb Bonds l _/ New York.
