ALWAYS PATS It HE'S Both wheat and corn continue to sell at more than 10 cents a bushel above the price at this date last year, and the fluctuations In speculative options are much wider. Contracts In May corn have been closed at phenomenal prices owing to clever manipulation at Chicago, and next crop options are sustained beyond the prices warranted by encouraging crop reports. Wheat goes out in greater volume than a year ago, but flour shipments are comparatively light. - - ) From an absolutely reliable source It Is known that William H.
