MARKETS BY WIRE.
A BulIish Whirl in the Wheat Pit, which
Carries Prices Away Up-COrn and
Oats Partake of the Improve

the leading futures were Hc above Yesterday
closings, and by noon the market had gradually
climbed up another Nc, or to 1910 Tor Decem
ber and $685. for May.
No excitement attended the advance, for the
news that came over the wires was so favorable
to holders that higher range of prices was in
evltabIe, and the local scalping crowd were moi
long in shifting to the bull side.
Speculative offerings were at no time large,
| Outside markets were all stronger, New HorE
and st. Louis averaging nearly lc higher, with
cash wheat in St Louis doing better. This was
one of the strongest features of the market
| here to-day At no time during the day did
prices get below outside quotations of yester
day, and the final closing range was at the top
being M@l1Sc higher for the day.
| A fair trade was reported IN corn and the
feeling prevailing was somewhat firner. The
market opened a shade better than the closing
yesterday, was steady for time, then ad-
vanced &c, eased off &c, ruled firm, and closed
| L@sSc higher than yesterday. There was a
| little more bullish sentiment on the near
futures, still there was considerable selling OF
! October around 3S34c, and also May at S4lsc.
| The better tone was influenced some by the
advance in wheat and also moderate estimates
| of receipts and cold weather. Transactions
| were mainly local and fluctuations narrow.
The feature of the oats market was the
strength and advance of &c IN the near fu-
| lures due to an increased demand from shorts
| and lignt offerings. The more deferred futures
were quiet and shade trmer

vember and January.
