wag not long before prices advanced.
May rose to $1.63, as agatnst $1.59 M
last night, and July to $1.4 IV, com
pared with $1.38 4.
President Wilson's speech calling
attention to the prospect that the

heavily for wheat had much influ
ence toward encouraging buyers. Be
sides, there appeared to be evidence
of renewed foreign demand and of
export Ales over night. Despite
heavy margins, trading was lively.
In the last hour the market went to
1. for May, influenced by advices that
Europeans were taking flour as well as
wheat on a large scale. Wheat for spot
cash delivery sold at 11.66. equalling the
topmost point the May option ha yet
touched. Prof't taking made the close
relatively easy at a net advanc of t
