Chicago, April 29. Strength in
cash wheat in Chicago and in the
southwestern markets, with light of
terings and decreasing stocks ad
vanced wheat prices sharply today,
creating one of the largest covering
movements the trade has seen of late.
It va3 mainly by eastern shorts
whose purchases were immense and
found free selling by the largest local
interest. At the finish May wheat was
34c and July l?sc higher. Com and
oats had a heavy tone with liquida
tion, and corn finished Hc low
er and oats He lower to Jc higher,
the latter on September. A tight
market was on for rye with gains of
With practically no wheat in Chi
cago for delivery on May contracts
next week and with cash premiums
Mronger ana tiigner ana arrivals
light, the ' position of the shorts is
unpleasant and they realized it by
covering freely in both May and
July. Had it .not been for the heavy
selling by ihe largest local interest,
the advance in prices would have un
doubtedly been much greater. Cash
wheat in the southwest was 36c
higher, with St. Louis leading. Ex
ports buying was on in futures and
cash sales Mere 1,000.000 bushels.
mainly at the gulf. Local sales to
millers were 10,000 bushels.
One of the most attractive factors was
the big exports for the week: 10.43S.OOO
bushels aro reported by Bradstraets, the
largest la week's exceeding the previous
week by 4,415,000 bushels and compared
with 2.710,000 bushels last year.
Crop reports from the winter wheat
country were more spotted and attracted
more attention, but the cash situation
and the individual trading were of more
consequence as markets influences.
Corn Prices Slump,
Liquidation w&s on in corn and prices
dropped lHo for May, the weakness com
ing at the last while May early there was
strength and a fair advance. Elevator
people were active In changing from May
to July at Sff SHc difi'erenoe, while longs
were selling May and buying the deferred
futures. Kxport business was 300,000 bush
els with oharters for 150,000 bushels. Cash
prices were off 1 cent, with receipts 133
cars, the movement to the six markets
showing 106 cars more than a week ago
and nearly as many In excess of last year.
Commission house buying of September
oats gave it strength and they gained
1c for the day, while liquidation in the
nearby deliveries made weakness and now.
er prices. Klevator people were active in
changing from May to July, with the
spread l'ic against l?Jo a few days ago.
Buying of rye by :exporters and bids
for cash lots of 9 Ho over May were the
main feature tii that market, with the
close around the top to Uc under.
Pit Notes,
An immense-evening up in wheat, with
higher prices for all deliveries and with
cash prices in the southwest leading,
makes a position where the shorts are
uneasy. They have reduced their open
interest and the feeling in certain quar
ters tonight is that prices may go some
higher should the covering movement con
tinue. But when buying slackens fears
sre entertained that, prices will slide off
ss they have done after all bulges of late,
as there ia not enough general trade on
the buying aide. .
Of greater interest than the markets
to the trade leaders is the political situa
tion at Springfield, 111., where there is the
strongest opposition the icrnln -wlia'"'e
has ever encountered. The farming cle
ment under the leadership of the larm or.
ganlssrs know what is going on around the
board better than the majority of the
farmer-members do. There is a fighting
chanco of winning, but probably compro
mises will h , a to be effected. There
is talk of removing the grain exchange
from Chicago to ttr.ry, Ind or Milwaukee.
Winnipeg's receipts Were tl cars. Minne
apolis reported receipt! of 196 curs wheat.
The weekly croo report of the bureau
of crop estimates at Washington says: "Re
ports indicate that the usual acreage of
corn will bo planted. Recent cold weather
was reported as having checked somewhat
the growth of winter wheat, but the con
dition is still favorable. Seeding of spring

as indicated a month ago. Cold weather
did some damage to wheat in portions of
the southwest. Including sections of the
heavy producing areas In central Kansas."
From present Indications It looks aa
though there will be very little grain de
livered on May contracts Monday. In the
first place, the contract stock of wheat ia
approximately 26,000 bushels. In corn the
carrying charge between May and July Is
more than satisfactory and elevators have
In the main bought In their hedges and
transferred them to July, so that the stock
of approximately 4.800,000 bushels Is not
likely to find Its way Into the hands of
the longs to any great extent.
Bradsleer'a Trade Review.
New York, April 29. Bradstreet's to
morrow will sv:
"While the volume of trade Is little dif
ferent from last week In most sections,
gains being noted over March, but de
creases still recorded 'as oomparad with
April last rear at most centers and col
lections still drag, the industrial pace
seems somewhat better and an undeniably
more optimistic feeling Is voiced Irl most
reports. In fact the developments of
the week have been mainly on tha favor
able aide. These lstter include a contin
uance of report! that spring trade has
turned out better than earlier expected, a
more confident run of predictions aa to
fall tride prospects, a faster pace revealed
in outputs of shoes, leather, bituminous
coal, crude petroleum, automobiles and
tires, a decrease In the number of Idle
cars and reports of better loadings on tha
railways generally, better net earnings re
ports for March than for many preceding
months on a number of railways, an Im
proved tone manifested In Iron and steel,
based largely on better takings of ma
terial by the automobile and oil trades."

Financial
By ALEXANDER DANA NOYES.
Clilrngo Tribune-Omaha Beo Leased Wire.
New York', April 29. The inci
dents which attracted attention on
today's financial markets were the
rise in French exchange to the high
est rate since July, 1920; further ad
vance of, stocks in 1,000,000 share
market, despite some irregularity and
rather general recovery in bond mar
ket prices that recovery including
Liberty bonds, of which the 4 l-4s'
lose more than a half point, while
the 4 3-4s of 1923 went to the best
price since the beginning of Febru
ary, 1920.
The day's early advance in stock
exchange, in which both industrial
and railway shares participated, pre
sumably marked the effect on finan
cial sentiment of the strong show
ing the federal reserve banks made
after the close of business Thursday.
It was checked, though only in part
of the market, by a Washington
statement somewhat 'chilling to the
Mexican oil speculation. The course
cf financial values however, is no
more tied up with "oil prospects"
now than it was when prices of
stocks as a whole were falling.
So far as the day's impressions in Wall
Street wore concerned, the really dominant
influence of the day was undoubtedly the
afternoon announcement that the Chicago,
Burlington ei. yuincy loan subscription
would be closed tomorrow with the Im
plication that the stock of the $230,000,000'
offering was assured.
Exports Slump,
The government's report on the destina
tion of last month's exports leaves no
doubt as to the main source of the sud
den shrinkage of our outward trade. Com
parison with Marrh of 1920 is striking,'
but the real question was what caused tho
$102,800,000 decrease of total exports in
March as compared with February, a re
duction of 21 per cent, whereas average
prices Wore barely 3 per cent lower ami
whereas exports, even In February,' had
been the lowest since 191S. The depart
ment's report now shows that out of thla
$102,800,000 total decrease, $42,600,000 oc
curred In trade with Europe. Our export
to all othes continents decreased, but with)
none of them half so heavily.
Of the different European nations, the
largest decrease was in trade with Eng
land, which took from us In March, $16,
300,000 less goods than in February and
$32,600,000 less than In January, but the
decrease from February was $11,200,000 In
the case of Italy and $9,000,000 in tho
case of Germany.
As against the $42,500,000 decrease In
our exports to Europe as a whole,; pur
March Imports from that continent In
creased $21,700,000 over ' February. Tho
Surplus of exports In our trade with Eng
land fell rrom 74,9UO.oou to ta,uuu,vuv;
! in March last year it was $161,000,000.
I With France the February export surplus
1 fell from $8,800,000 In February to $3,400,
i 000 in March, the last named export stir
) pluses comparing with 463,900.000 for
March of 1920. Taken along with the ab
normally large shipments of gold to us)
from Europe during the last few months,
it is not difficult to sea one reason for
recovery of the New York rate for ex
change on these European markets.
