CHICAGO, October 2-Wheat was very
strong to-day and scored an advance or
2a2Ac The tendency Of prices was gener-
ally upward from the start The reasons
assigned for the advance were the recent
rains and bad weather in the northwest,
which it is claimed have affected the wheat
in the shock, larger clearances from the
seaboard, the covering by shorts and the
generally stronger tone of cable advices.
The market no doubt was short one,
operators being Of late inclined TO the sell
ing side and the rather firm undertone in
duced many to cover. Early Liverpool
dispatches quoted that market quiet and
a shade lower, but late cables quoted a
steady market with no decline. Corn was
active and buoyant, influenced by the ex-
tremely light receipts, the strength in the
wheat and cora pit and the active cover
ing by shorts. Oats were firm in SYM
pathy with corn, but trading light. Pro
visions moderately active and higher.
