CIuCAGO, Oct. al Special -Whcat-
There was more life to the market and
4 higher range prices established. The
feeling is decidedly stronger. 10 the over
sold condition of the market was the
sharp advance of the day attributable.
Many traders who were sellers of the
past few days were buyers. The unex-
pccted happened and operators felt
little nervous over the situation. Firm
ness in cables in spite of the weakness in
American markets was deemed Il fav-
orable feature. The opening was
l4Mll higher than yesterday closing
and some excitement attending the
first sales, then eased off d for De-
cember and X for May, advanced to
top price and closed 1902 higher than
yesterday.
Corn attracted moro than usual atten-
ton, large volume of business being
transacted within broader range, than
any day this week. Feeling developed
was much stronger and higher prices
were ruled in all futures. Advance was
due largely to purchases of May by sew
eral large local houses. two of whom
took in about one million bushels. Re-
ports were received from the West
stating that corn was husking out poorly.
