It a runana market today In wheat. Frightened ahorts competed with new Investors wbo had wait ed to buy on a reaction. Tbe stampede started aa a result of crop-damage reports from Kansas. Closing figure wr strong. le to tHe higher than lat night. Wheat price advanced Into new ground and wound up at the lop level of the ses sion and of the year. The bulge amounted to a centa. the largest single Jump alnee the upturn began. Crop experta in Kansas chief ly were responsible for the dispatches that stirred speculations to such a pitch. South western marketa were slow to follow the advance here In wheat, but eventually ral lied. Corn ahowed heavlneaa. reacting from the bnoraney of the previous day. Country of fering wer larger and the cash demand ailm. Oat took color from corn, but experienced a sustaining effect due to rain checking aeed operations In some districts. Alleged widespread disease among hogs In Germany resulted In a remarkably heavy de mand for provisions. At the end pork was up ."c. lard W4c to .15c and rib 12'4 4yi5e to 17 He.

Sales of Reading for the day aggregated 227.04X1 ehares or about 23 per cent of tbe whole. Tbe belief gains that the company will soon confer some form of benefit upon Its sbareholdera. The ease with which Union Pacific I'nlted Statea Steel and other Important Is sue advanced semed to be proof of the existence of a large short Interest rather than any belated recognition of Intrinsic values. Earnings of the Harrlman lines for March, published after the early rise, were disap pointing. Union Pacific loet $490,000 in net and Southern Pacific $214,000. This makes the former' net earnings leas for the nine montha of the flacal year 13.740,000 and Southern Paclflc'a $2,747,000.
