| CHICAGO-A strong feeling was developed
in wheat to-day, and prices were all around
higher. July is now taking the lead. and the
interest centered principally in this future
Outside business was fair. 1t was claimed that
| prominent local operator sold quite freely
| both for May and June delivery, and at the
ssme time credited with buying freely fol
July. the impression being that the selling OF
the former was done to hold the market In
check some to enable the buying of July. The
market opened 15c higher for May and l@lssc
higher for July than the closing on change
yesterday. May declined lAc, recovered some
and closed about Nc higher than yesterday.
July further advanced 1c above opening fig
ures. then declined 11sc, fuctuated and closed
| Nc higher than yesterday. Bad crop news,
| strong cable advices and rumored large ex-
| port purchases at the seaboard yesterday
stimulated buying and assisted In advancing
prices The anticipated decrease in the acre
| age OF wheat in the Northwest continues to
have its effect upon the market.
