May Wheat Breaks Dollar Mark On Chicago Board Of Trade
May wheat surged to and beyond $1 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade amid frantic pit bidding and heavy selling by large brokers. The price reached $1.003 per bushel within minutes of the opening, briefly easing to 99 44 cents before rising again to the dollar, the third highest intraday level in twenty years. Cash wheat and No 2 red winter followed the rise with strong gains across the country as tensions abroad and crop reports fueled speculative demand.
