| Eariy indications gave no nt.mation what
| ever of the boom which was seen in the
closing half hour, Some in
| difference abroad was disclosed
! by the cables and especially
! Europe for direction in the present in
! stance, and when a decline at the place
mention was reported, the enthusiasm
! here underwent notifications. Bradstreet' S
was expected to announce a big increase
| in the worlds stock, and on the prospect
| thereof, a few of those people who have
not yet been convinced of the legitimacy
| OF the advance were tempted to sell 1T
/ tie wheat short. When IL was learned that
! the report would not be made public to-
! day, there was a change in front, no one
| caring to remain short overnight. Then
when sales Of 300 900 bushels at New York
| for export to Lisbon, were reported, to-
]
sentiment rapidly assumed "A bullish APP
| pearance, and from that time until the
| close it was only a question of how high
| prices would 90. December wheat opened
from TIC to TIC, sold between 79c and
755s. closing at 7S&sc-lc higher than yes
! terday. Cash wheat was irregular, clos
| ing at lie advance
Corn was not influence by wheat
! Prices are tardy in this market to advance
/ but show readiness to participate in the
I weakness of the leading market. A slight
/ rally took place towards the close May
| corn opened at Z9i4c. sold between 291zC
and 2SiaG2s5sc closing at 29Ac Cash corr
was weak, and closed a little steadler.
Oats-The action Of oats was not a mat
ter Of individual merit or inclination, but
rather depended on whether the Other
! grains were weak or strong As the for
mer tone predominated, so ii did in oats
May oats closed unchanged from yester
| day Cash oats were easy and 4c lower
+ Provisions were quiet, generally speak
/ ing, and in response 10 a lower hog mar
