By CHARLES D. MICHAELS
Chlcao Tribun-6maha Dm Leased Wire,
Chicago, May 25. Heavy covering
by shorts, induced by' disappearing
receipts, a sharp bulge in the cash
markets and reports of delayed
planting as the result of wet weath
er, made an active and higher mar
ket.v There was a lack of pressure
until July touched $1.65 around
which figure .selling against offers
. and reinstating of lines covered
early checked the advance.
Sentiment was much more bull
ish than for some time past, and at
the close corn was 3c6Hc hiaher.
May leading. The latter -showed
llje above the Jow of Monday,
wnue juiy was up lie trom the in
side figure Cf Saturday. Oats
gained H.2Ytt, May leading, while
rye was up;ij$(gZc and barley,
wxc, witn September, si.37.
The car situation wti reported as much
.iier In varloua part of tha belt. Ar
rival! at Chtcaro. however, wara only
100 eara and snippers took tha market
away - from Jia Industries for tha flrat
ttma In whIu, paying Iff 60 mora than
tho previous day. with tha eloaa at tha
top, July finished tic under No. 2 grade
in ma aampia market and September

Jtiuile to go to store,
.Eastern Houses Free. Buyer.
Reoorta 'tit aicnert A emnif . mt th
board had aoma effect on aentlraent, with
alee of CI.OOO buanel. claimed, although
only i,00 bushels could be confirmed. A
Ending local profeaalonal covered ahorta
arly and aold on the bulge. Houaea with
eastern connectlona were free buyers at
limes.
Country loadlnga of corn war reported
as muoh heavier, and Iowa . and Na-
brnska claimed to be getting cars rather
ueeiy ror tne first time In months.
Northwestern Interests were heavy sell
era of July oats early, but the atrength
.In corn and buying by commission houses
and ahorts advanced prices readily, July
acting rather tight at times, and closed
lHo over September against 11c over
Saturday. Tha seaboard reported 750,000
l.ushels aold for export in the past few
otys. Premiums In the sample market
Tvtru up iwio witn aampia values 25c
hither. Receipts, it oars.
Export Demand Strong. r
Export demand was In evidence for rye,
but no salea were reported. No. 2 track
sold at May price at $2.04 2.07. Re
ceipts, I cars. The seaboard bid 20c over
June, track, Baltimore, for guaranteed
shipment flrat half of June.
Barley unchanged. Some export demand
st tha aeaboard. Spot aalea were at $1.60
1.62. Receipts. 11 cars.
No export sales of wheat were reported
at tha aeaboard, the British and French
buyer being out of tha market, but the
trade had an Intimation that they would
be In the market tomorrow. Cash prices
generally unchanged, although a few cara
at Minneapolis aold at 6c advance. No.
1 red in atore aold at $2.S5 with 15.000
sushel changing hands. No. 3 dark hard
winter, No. 2 yellow hard and No. S
northern aold at $2.85 on track, and No,
3 hard winter at $3.11.' Dark No. 3 north
ern brought 32.81, and dark No. 3 north
ern 33.05. Bids on new No. 3 hard or
red winter were reduced to to $l.6, Au
gust shipment, track Chicago with Sep
tember $2.60. Receipts, li cara.
.Fit Notes.
Short In ecrn have greatly reduced
:belr lines, and a few of the locale have
Howed large proflta to get away, a they
cam in today around the best prices.
The Impression prevailing among tha con
servative trading element that caution
should be used In making long com
, mlllment on bulges or In getting short
an break at present. With a reduction
In the short Interest, the technical posi
tion ol both corn and oata has -been
wet-kfned. It waa claimed that while a
nuriber of tha eastern short had covered
there romalna a considerable outstanding
shortage. July corn af the top today
Hhowed gains of llo and oats 6e
from the low on Saturday, while May
corn waa up HHo and oat, Itto.
Leading commission houses with east
ern connections, who were the most active
seller of corn and oats all last week, have
bten the largest buyer of July and Sep
tember corn and oata the last two days,
part of It being credited to a few local
operators who have been bullish.
" One of the leading local caah corn han
.dlera In discussing the apparently small
sales of corn to the east for many weeka
past said It was due entirely to tha fact
that they did not care to sell, previous
Miles having resulted in considerable
losses. The car situation has made a most
unsatisfactory condition east, but should
care be secured he doubted whether suf
ficient corn would be on hand to fill the
demand. Louisville wa a buyer of Jaslt
oat at Chicago today.
A car of- corn recently aold her for
$5,454. It contained 142,000 pound and
waa aold for $2.17 per bushel.
Argentina cable report a heavy supply
of tonnage with steamer freights to Amer
ica 311 per ton on grain, with aaller ob
tainable at $8 per ton. '
There la a atronr bullish feellnc oa
corn and oat In some quarters. In the
last ' few dan a few lota of May corn
have been bought at Chicago by feeder
who believe that the future waa at such
a big discount under the cash that it
.would be well to buy it rather than secure
their requirement In the sample market.
May corn and oata have been acting very
tight for some .day past.- '
A liberal number of bog car have been
arriving In the west the last few daya
and country loading are much larger. It
Is believed, that tke grain will be well
distributed among tha primary markets.

"New York, May 25. Stocks re
sponded today to a relaxation of
emphasis upon unfavorable events
with' the. most vigorous rally seen
this month. In addition, the retire
ment of short contracts was made
more difficult than the day before
by the appearance of developments,
which, while not full-grown nor es
pecially vigorous, were welcomed
by Wall street," whose feelings in
respect to cheerful matters had
threatened to become calloused.
Industrial shares advanced from
two to five ooints. The ' copper
group, long in the doldroms, awak
ened rather suddenly .with upturns
of two to four points, and the rail
road department displayed strength
which was only less substantial
than that of the industrials. Liberty
bends improved all around. 'Cotton
advanced and again marked gains
were recorded in the grain and pro
visions markets. f .
Sentiment Improved.
A ready exnlanatlon of the general re
covery lay in the efforts of shorts to retire
a part of their commitments, out 11 wouta
not be going far afield to refer to possl-
h nurcnasM ror tne lona account oy .per
sons who either elected to average down
holdings acquired at lower levels or
sought to profit by an Improvement of
sentiment over the Industrial situation.
That sentiment was better than last
week was disclosed through banking and
brokerage comment, which seemed to re
fleot. information coming from many
sources. FerhaDS the chief basis' lay in
fakenlnr nf nrlce cuts in the mer
i-hanrtlaa field and In less publicity with
out cancellations of orders at mill and
factory, but there waa more positive mat
ter than this to lighten the outlook. Study
of Msrch railroad, earnings, the latest
available showed substantial Improvement
in contrast with a year before in case of
several of the leading systems.
Maimt Mnrkrt Yeer.
Th. money market also had ' influence
upon speculative transaction in biocks.
While time loan rates were -not quotable
at levels' lower than those of the preced
ing day, and last week aa well, there were
freer offerings and the market "felt" a,
trifle easier. Governor Harding asserted
that if unsold portions of last year's crops
can be moved to maraec oeiore me new
crop comes along sufficient credit will be
released to aia in oiisetiing auiumn.uo
tmandn.
While sterling wa quiet and hardly
more than ateady, the exchanges, of oen
tral European countries showed the ef
fect of heavy purchases, especially In Ger
man exchange. Also, there was a strong
advance of Italian rates and French rates
moved forward.
