CmcGGc, Dec. 3--The wheat market
took on @ veritshle boom to-day before
the close Of tho afternoon session, the
temper OF the market turning very bulliBh
with shorts covering freely. Tho starting
price for the May option was S59c per
buShel or &c higher than Mt tho close last
night. Public sdvices from abroad were
favorable. Early private cables also
quoted osrgoeo BixpenCe higher but noted
that holderu were selling more freely with
increasing shipments Of Indian wheat.
Later private cables were not as eDCour-
0giDg and quoting an easier feeling at
Liverpool. Tho offerings were free at the
opening, and May fell of to s5IC, ruled
steady, and then began 10 advance on
good buying induced by reports Of large
purchases for export.
The price advanced to $50 at tho one
o'clock adjournment, and on the alter
noon board continued to advance until the
option had touched 500, the highest point
reached by the options since the present
advance began. The excitement In tho
pit was very pronounced after the price
had passed doc, and the volume Of trading
on the ehort afternoon board waa equal TO
that CT the entire morning session. One
operator was credited with the purchase Of
1900, 900 bushels for May delivery, but the
buying appeared to DO very general. The
