CHICAGO, August 2l.-A big squirt Of
buyiug was the feature n the wheat pit to-
day. Wheat at the opening was about
5ya{c higher than the close Saturday.
There was a general impression that the
visible supply would show a large de-
crease. the prospects Of early COMPRESSION
al legislation were brighter, and there was
liberal speculative buying. Shorts were
Quick TO take alarm and covered freely,
while there was little for sale. The top
prices were made on a squirt, and when the
plungers got their wheat back there was
simply good steady market. There was
considerable bull news in corn for the day,
but the receip pts suddenly doomed up very
I large and this appeared 10 Offset other in
| fuences. Transactions were scarce in
oats. Changes in quotations were insig-
nidcant. Flour, steady and unchanged.
