CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE long pent up
feeling of the bulls in wheat found vent
at the opening today. They became actu-
ally enthusiastic in the way they bid for
the limited offerings and the price in about
half an hour from the start recovered
over l cent per bushel advance. The rea-
sons for the cheerfulness which was seen
to pervade the ranks of the bulls were
various. The most encouraging feature
was that the receipts at Minneapolis and
Duluth numbered only 1882 car loads, COM
pared with 1881 on Thursday u week ago
and 113S on the corresponding day of the
previous year. The previous heavy north
western receipts had certainly much TO
do with the recent heaviness of the mar
ket Liverpool sent higher quotations, re-
porting Nd advance for spot wheat and
Nd rise Tor futures. Berlin also came
hand of offers made last night and Chicago
houses also had their offers Of No; and
receipts were 222 cars, as compared with
rs cars year ago, but only I'VE cars
