CHICAGO, Sept l6.-The wheat market was
weak at the opening to-day, but developed
with strong bull tone prevailing. The market
was raided early in the day by some of the big
bears" but after prices had fallen off &c from
last nights closing, it was found that very little
wheat was Oh sale, and the efforts of the shorts"
to cover caused an immediate and sharp advance
of lie from the lowest point The market closed
at the highest prices of the day current. There
more outside buying, and several prominent local
bulls" were noticeable owing to the confident
manner IN which they made large purchases. 1t

crop year, while the shipments exceeded the
aggregate of receipts. The Beerbohm cable
quoted firm foreign markets and it was esti-
mated that the amount of wheat afoat for
Europe would show very considerable increase
These facts helped to encourage the bull"
traders, and their belief in an advancing market
appeared to become stronger. It was also
rumored that the Minneapolis Millers' Associa-
ton had advanced the prices two cents bushel
