common. The mraket opened 2hc higher at one
bound, when excited trading ran the sales
up to IL. 900 bu UP to noon and up to
AZ. $50 coo bu for the entire days business. Lo-

the top notch again and closed strong. The
final burst Of strength attributed by
the great advance in late continental cables
coupled with reports of unfavorable crop
from Germany.
