natural effect, wheat closing nc higher

and oats were strong with wheat and

Provisions advanced 21s@71ac. The most
influential news received before the
opening, which was thought likely to
effect wheat was the heavy .worlds
shipments. Private cablegrams re-
ported the shipments for the week FROM
the Black sea ports at from 100000
bushels to 100000 bushels, which sug-
gested total of about 8,500,000' bushels
as the worlds clearances. In addition
to that, the receipts at Minneapolis and
Duluth were 1902 carloads, compared
with 1878 cars on the corresponding
day Of the previous year. Chicago re-
ceipts were 1875 cars, of which only
were contract. Receipts here a year
ago were 81 cars. The market, conse-
quently, got weak start, but good

but keeping essentially within the lin
its of the range already given. The
visible supply statement showed an in
crease of /, 107, 900 bushels, and some de-
cline followed the announcement. Re-
ports were said to have been received
of damage to the growing wheat in
Argentina from locusts, and that
caused the buying of some wheat. St.
Louis wired that 100000 bushels had
been sold there for export, and mora
was bought on that. Liverpool cabless

point of the day. Near the close. re-
alizing sales caused a decline to $500
but the influence Of the strong cables
and the official figures Of worlds shipsi
ments, which were 100000 bushels
less than the bears anticipated, cree
ated another buying boom, and De-
cember advanced to 601sc where IL
closed. Corn was blessed with more
activity than usual and prices at the
close showed quite a substantial adj
vance. May opened unchanged al

cline caused by unusually heavy hog
receipts, prices rallied on fairly good
support by packers. The closing was
