Highti P nces hogs gave confidence to buy Chicago, May 9.—Fresh advances in the wheat market today resulted from the government crop report showing the Ia~gest abandonment of winter wheat acreage ever known In the United State*. Excited rushes to buy carried prices up 14c, notwithstanding that values yesterday had already scored net gains of just that amount and had broken all previous records. The new advance today was due to the fact that the crop shortage indicated by the official figures proved to be much more severe than had been thought. Trading, however, was not heavy, most of the transactions being in small lots. Opening quotations, which ranged from 5%c to 14c higher, with May at $3.07 to $3.11 and July at $2.40 to $2.42, were followed by slight further gains in some cases and then a reaction to $3.08 for Maj and $2.40 for July. Great strength developed later in the new' crop months. July and September shooting up to $2.49% and $2.09*4, re spectively. while May reached $3.14. The biggest upturn was in July, 17*4 to 1894c. Throughout the dSy sellers were scarce and there was a persistent, though not broAd, demand that ap peared to be for senboard account. The close was unsettled at 12 to 15% c net advance, with May at $3.11 and July at 82.45% to $ 2 .40*4. Corn as well as wheat smashed a new high price record. Corn jumped with wheat on scattered buying. After opening l%c to 2%c up, prices con tinued to ascend. May touching Wheat Open. High. Low. Close.

EXCITED RUSH TO Interest Now Centers in July and September Wheat Options. Selling oA investment securities in greater volume than heretofore was responsible for another sharp break in the stock market today, which car ried prices down from 1 to 4 points, a majority of issues, however, making recoveries before the close. Sales ap proached the million mark. Rails shared In the losses, but not in the late session recoveries, Reading clos ing 8 points under the opening and Union Pacific nearly 2. Anaconda opened today at 77 1-2, was high at 77 3-4, low at 75 5-8 and closed at 77. Butte and Superior opened at 40 3-4, was low at that figure and high at 41 1-8, the close. North Butte was quoted at 21; Kast Butte at 11 1-2; Tuolumne at 1 1-8, and Davis-Daly at 4 1-2. The Hutton stock letter received over wires of the Heilbronner com pany today says: "The government's estimate of the wheat crop had a de pressing effect on stocks. Part of yesterday's selling was unquestionably traders hunting for weak spots. We feel satisfied that the rate advance will be given to the railroads. The market is narrow and has a big short interest. With good stocks b€*ing sacrificed, it Is useless to try to fore cast prices." » News and commenut received over wires of the Lauxier-Wolcott company says in part: Ben Bryan—"I still think that freer selling of securities in general will be witnessed in order to enable In great part the proceeds to be con verted Into government war loans." Stock letter—"The proposed tax ation on excess profits of double that *f last year is about in keeping with recent Inkling from Washington, but the Impost on individual Incomes, with the retroactive clause, is more sweep ing than anticipated.
