Steady Adyance

Wheat and Corn Strong and Higher, but
Weaken Toward the Close-Oats Takes q
Back Seat Again-Provisions Make .
| Steady Advance.
| CHICAGO-Wheat showed q great deal of
strength during the early part of the ses-
| sion, the news having o decidedly bullish
coloring. Receipts were largely below the
| estimate, and cables generally reported q
better tone abroad. A private dispatch
from Antwerp said: market stronger on
incessant rains" Rain was also reported
throughout the Northwest. A dispatch
from New York said that all offers of wheat
yesterday were accepted by foreigners, and
that 1ls boat-loads were sold for export yes
terday. Minneapolis reported large sales
of -four for export. and Brddstreefs
reported the wheat and flour exports
from both coasts last week at 1880 900 BUSH
els against 400 900 bushels for the same week
able frosts in the Northwest, which also
helped to develop strength. A cable from
Liverpool gave the Corn Trade Ne,ns' esti-
mate of the supply and requirements Of the
world for the ensuing season, making the
wants 420,000,000 bushels, and the supply,
allowing 152, 600 900 bushels from America, at
Sss, 600 600 bushels, leaving deficiency of 32,-
600 900 bushels. The shortage in the Russian
rye crop was estimated to be $50, 600 900 BUSH
els, and that of Germany rs ooo, 900 bushels.
All of these gave a strong turn to prices,
mand, December sold from ss1%@ssslc to s9sSc.
1t held around s3c for time, when there was
free selling. This checked the advance and
then the estimate of $50 cars for Monday
came, when weakness set in and the price
went off to ss5kc, and closed at SsIc.
Corn was strong, chiefly on the con-
tinued cold weather and talk of frost There |
was little freeze last night at St. Cloud, |
Mimi, but without damage. Shorts were |
nervous. and with the offerings light prices |
were bid up from the. start. September |
opened at 434c, sold up irregularly to 55%c; |
then on the estimate of 30 cars for Monday, |
broke to 551sc, and closed at $50 Cash corn |
was in sharp demand and higher, shippers |
paying el13c for No 2, and 81 for No. yellow, |
and everything sold readily.
Oats were quiet with very narrow fiuctu-
ations.
, Hog products were strong and higher.
Live hog receipts were only 5000 head The |
strength in corn strengthened provisions.
The general crowd seemed on the buying
side, probably covering short sales. Septem-
Der pork started at sll Is; touched $ll 40;
to Sll 60: fuctuated within that
range, and closed at $ll ADJ
