Chicago. Sept. 2S.-Wheat proved qnte
strong most of the time to-day Inc prlncl
nal cause for it was the character OF the re-
ceipts. Out of 207 cars received SIX cars
graded No. 2. The winter wheat showing
was startling Out of 1872 cars OF winter
wheat received there was but one car OF con-
tract wheat. This condition OF things made
short sellers very cautious, especially IN the
near futures, and naturally gave encourage
ment to buyers. The trade was bearish but
FOR the grading. There was some disap-
pointment also. in the visible supply report.
The bears expected something like 2,OOO,0OO
bu increase for the week on the strength OF
the making regular certain elevators IN Min
peapolis which heretofore had not complied
with the new state law. The increase, wnen
finally posted. showed less than .5OOOOO
bu increase. This showing had no de-
risive effect on the trade. The receipts
at primary markets were 100000 bu bet
Ter than year ago. Liverpool cables were
not significant, quoting spot and futures
steady. Export clearances were 51,O0O bu
II New York and 10000 blu at Baltimore.
Hutchinson was buyer so far as he took
any part in the market. BroSseau and Gus
Edwards bought freely of December and May

Fielded on the brilliant weather and the free

ion of little interest and a little strength
