Today's Market Quotations

Wheat Shows Signs of Making Advance Due To Light Stock C'HICAGO. May 5. Wheat prices today showed a tendency to advance, owing more or less to the lightness of utocks and to the absence of hedging tales. It was said the holdings of foreigners were sufficient to make it difficult to buy on any substantial scale without materially affecting values. Much nervousness continued to be shown regarding developments at Washington as to government control of prices. Opening quotations which ranged from lc oft to 24 up with May at $2.75 and July at $2.20 to $2.21. were followed by a decided general upturn and then a moderate reaction. Corn was governed almost entirely by wheat Trade was very small. After opening unchanged to c lower,

the market hardened all around.

Oat showed little independence.

Demand was chiefly for May delivery

Active buying of lard; for leading

commission houses steadied provisions. Pit traders sold. -.
