rates Of exchange within the next fort
night.
There were free purchases again for
both accounts. Chicago Gas was con-
| spicuous on account of reports, which
| seem to be well founded, that active
steps are being taken to improve the
| legal status OF the property with the

Shortly after the opening the wheat

December ran up to Gj 3-sc a g. l-2c

from yesterdays closing prices. while
at chicago this month sold up to CO 3-Nc
Later there was a little reaction here
while prices fell of about j-Sc. In Chi
caGo. The western market led the ad-
vance and decline.
Ir.yate tclcgrams state that tho feel
ing West is very nervous, and the local
tied. The shorts were very anxious to
over. and many of them did so at top
prices
This sudden advance. with the conse-
gntnt excitement, is attributed To the
fact that cash wheat prices at the West
have advanced to December prices,
while yesterday the ruling figures for
cash were about lc. under beCpmbcr
and No, Spring has been selling as
low as lie. under December. The rise
came as great surprise 20 the shorts.
