SHARP COMPETITION FORCES WHEAT UP TO HIGHER LEVELS

CHICAGO, April 26. New high record prices for wheat resulted today largely from prospects of continued Bharp competition by exporters and domestic millers. Urgent need of greater supplies of breadstuffs was implied s.nd t especially by dispatches from Great Britain, and there was official, announcement from Portugal that owing to the exigencies of the food situation all import duties on cereals had been removed. Stormy weather involving additional delay and curtailment of spring wheat seeding in the Dakotas,. Minnesota and .Canada

tended further to lift prices. Trading

here, however, was relatively light. Opening quotations which ranged from 4 to 3 higher with May at $2.53 to $2.64, and July at $2.17 to $2.18, were followed by . respective advances to 92.21, and then by a moderate reaction. Car scarcity restricting arrivals gave independent strength to corn. The upturns in wheat prices continued also to exert a decided bullish influence. After opening unchanged to 1V higher the market scored sharp gains all around before meeting with any setback. Rushes to buy. oats were unchecked. The basis of the demand appeared to be largely the comparative cheapness of oats in relation to other grain. Provisions responded to higher quotations on hogs and cereals. On the .bulge packers were liberal sellers.
