buShel in August to-day The market closed
firm at top prices Ordinarily on the eve OF
delivery day and Is 900 000 bushels OF wheat
in store. some belatedaongs might be expected
to be pressing September wheat for sale TO
avoid having II delivered to them on the fol-
lowing morning. The reverse has happened
to g the case. Elevator men had over stayed
their chance of securing the carrying OF the
wheat in their houses waiting for heavier
carrying charges, and their competition to
get IL to-day, first, at &c, spread, and failing In
that, at 59sc, brought about the liveliest rally
Which has been seen on change since last
May There was an actual famine in S&eptem-
Der and December wheat and the starving
shorts fought for IL like tigers until the bell

Until noon the market was decidedly dull,
and the opening was &c higher, Fluctua-
lions up to midday were con-
fined to range Of HGD4c.
When the export clearanceS from New York
and Baltimore were made known a slight
tremor of fear was sent through bodies of
shorts, and they began to grasp for the limit
OF earnings which came out. Corn got some
help from the advance in wheat. Considera-
bic business was transacted in the way of
changing, and receivers and shippers alike
were buying near futures Buving was led
by large shipping concern, followed by some
of the leading elevator interests who were
taking September and October and selling
December. The Price Currents
statement was rather bearish.
The market opened with a "a nc.
loss and gradually advanced 5e0ic hecame
strong changing but little, and at the close
had gained ia &c. In oats there was fair
business in the way of changing from Sep
TENDER to May. but there was no regular
trading of Importance and quiet and stead-
Ter feeling Ir1valed. Prices had &c range
and closed 140@c higher Provision traders
could not be walked up from their lethargy,
but the market was firm, without more than
q few widely scattered trades Price
changes from last night are insignificant
