Oct. was another bull
market on wheat to-day, and prices were carried
IN the afternoon to the highest point touched
during the upward movement recently inaugur-
ated. The Chicago statement of the visible sup
ply showed an increase of somewhat more than
1000, 900 bushels of wheat, while the New York
statement showed less than half a million bush
els. Wet weather was reported from nearly
every section, which was taken to indicate a
falling off in receipts, and the cables reported
firm foreign markets for both wheat and flour.
Holders were generally very firm, and
1T was only by bidding the full
market and occasionally going a little beyond it
that any wheat was brought out. Some of the
large local houses were very "bullish' on the
situation, and bought largely. The opening
price for November was 89sc, or lc higher than
the closing yesterday, from which there was a
quick advance to 9O4c. but the liberal offerings
caused a break to 69sc, where the market rested
for a while and then started up again, advancing
to Gle on the regular board, and closing at 903 %
90sc. In the afternoon there was another Wig
orous upward rush, November touching 91sc
and closing at 919c, 2sc higher than last night.
One of the reasons assigned for the advance was
that Minneapolis had again been com
PEELED to advance the price in order to
obtain wheat in sufficient supply to keep their
mills In operation. The receipts at the eleven
principal receiving points were half a million
bushels less than on the same day last week,
while the aggregate shipments were about the
same. Export clearings continue very small.
The rainy weather, the decrease in the visible
supply, and the strength in wheat combined to
make a frmer corn market, and with only
slight fluctuations, the market closed in the
afternoon 901sc higher than yesterday.
The demand for October was quite urgent.
Oats ruled quiet and firm, and generally a shade
higher. Provisions were frmer, with a fair
trade, pork showing an advance Of u a 10c,
while lard showed no appreciable change.
Flour was firm and in good demand. Holders
obtained an advance of 10c on patents. and
l0@l5c on winter-wheat fours. The jobbers
purchased freely, and there was also some ex-
port demand.

opened &c higher, sold up &c additional, fell back
sc, rose &c, and closed a011c over yesterday.
