CHICAGO, April 27. Fears of additional addition-al delay to scodlng operations In tho Northwest, owing to predictions of rain, caused strength in wheat today. At tho closo July wheat showed a net gain of it. Corn also advanced Oats are up iyi31?$, and provisions C to 20c A firm feeling prevailed In tho wheat pit at tho opening, and prices showed a slight nd-Vanco nd-Vanco over yesterday's close, July being be-ing unchanged to -Hc highor at 3Uo to 8383630. At tho time sentiment perhaps per-haps was most affected by tho generally bullish character of the weather bureau roport Issued tho previous afternoon and by the great unanimity of private advices ad-vices from Ohio and Indiana emphasizing the hopolessnecs of raising more than 25 or SO per cent of a crop of wheat. Cables, however, were disappointing to the bulls, only a small advance being registered at Liverpool, notwithstanding the sharp advance ad-vance hero yesterday. Added to this was tho official forecast of warmer weather for tho Southwest TIicbq bear influences brought out a number of realizing sales, and the market mar-ket made a quick recession, July dc-cllng dc-cllng to S2i3S2c. Tho reaction, however, how-ever, was of short duration, liberal commission com-mission house buying soon causing a rally. Shorts also took advantage of tho slump and covered freely. Rain was predicted pre-dicted for the Northwest, a district which has already had too much molsturo, and pit traders wcro inclined to bo oxtremelv pessimistic on that point. Reports o'f decreased acreage owing to delaved seeding seed-ing were partly verified byt the strength of tho Northwestern marketB, and by heavy buying from that quarter. Tho market gradually Increased In strength until July had advanced to SlHiC. Strength in coarso grains, especially In onts, had a bullish effect on tho market. Thero was considerable profit Inking Into In tho day, and prlccB snowed a reaction from the high point, although no sign of weakness was manifested.
