CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Hugs Salsa for Export GIts Sharp Upturn
to Wheat.
Chicago, Fob. 24. Big purchase for
Europe led to a decided advance In wheat
value today. Tha outcome waa a atrong
do, l02e net higher, with May at
$1.7801.78 and July at 11.6101.61.
Other commodities, too, scored gains corn
0o to c, oats o, and provision 30c
to 30c.
Uncertainty at th outset In th what
market gavo way quickly to widespread bull
ish sentiment that reiultrd from announce
ment of export ak. aggregating 1,600,000
buahela. Accompanying demand for future
deliver! was urgent from houses with east
ern connection. Beside th foreign busi
ness stated aa having been actually put
through. It was said there wer inqulrle In
th market for Immediate additional
Quantities. Altered views In regard to
Lloyd George' speech tended further to lift
price. The opinion most popular today waa
that the premier's address Implied a long
continuance of extraordinary demand for
foodstuff and had even precluded much of
a break In valuea on peace news.
Assertions that a fleet of the largeat mer
chant vessel In the world shortly would be
convoyed from thl lde of the Atlantic by
British cruiser helped to carry the wheat
market to the topmot point of the day.
Bad crop report from the outhwet con
tinued to oppress the bear. On th other
hand, no ubstantlal relief for th car
scarcity here was In sight.
Corn followsd wheat, heaviness at the
start being displaced soon by unmistakable
trngth. Short covered freely. Oat
hardened with other grain. Trading, though,
was of small volume.
Hog at th long-coveted goal of $18.00
a hundred pound made provisiona climb.
It waa aald that th hog supplies were short
of dally requirements and that sign pointed
to curtailed receipt during March.
