Wheat, and corn futures attained new high levels again this morning in an excited opening of the market, with buying stimulated by additional reports of poor winter wheat prospects over a wide area and expectation of increased exports. The market fell back from the early high levels, but rebounded in the final Wheat' for May delivery was up Vi to 2 cents over Monday's close at the start, reaching $1.99 in Kansas City and $2.01 in Chicago. Gains were somewhat larger in the new crop deliveries. These advances did not equal the rise in Minneapolis yesterday, while the Kansas City and Chicago markets were closed. In the subsequent dealings prices fell to in Kansas City and $1.98 in Chicago, but a rally occurred in the last hour, which carried the Kansas City May price up to $2.00.

Selling was prompted by the very high prices and also by reports of rains in portions of Kansas and Nebraska, though precipitation generally was light. Perhaps some selling was induced by reports from Washington that food control plans to regulate prices and distribution are under consideration. Primary receipts were liberal. New high records were reached for car-Jots, $2.18 for choice hard wheat in Kansas City. No export business was reported.

Corn for May delievery advanced V4 cents to $1.23 in Kansas City and 2l2 cents' to in Chicago. A setback of more than a cent followed, but the market rebounded in the later dealings to new high levels, $1.23 in Kansas City and $125 in Chicago. High prices for wheat and moderate country offerings were the buying motives. The day's primary receipts were liberal two days' accumulationbut the demand for carlots kept up and a carload of white cdrn brought Ziy2, or 3 cents above Last Friday, Uncle Sam was a shipper to the Kansas City market.
