WHEAT OVER 80 CENTS.
MARKET AGAIN BREAKS REC
ORD OF THE SEASON.
1t Takes a Big Jump but There
Is Little Attendant
Excitement.

Chicago, Nov. 10. Wheat broke the
record for the season yesterday morn
ing by selling at SOS cents, 2 cents
over Saturdays close. The advance
was not attended by amy great degree
Of excitement. A few open orders to
take profit on long stuff at the even
figure brought only temporary set
back. Outside markets were partic-
ulafly strong. The visible supply
showed an increase of only l.243,000
bushels, threatened crop damage in
Argentine, a doleful rumor of unsat-
isfactory fall seeding in Russia and
France, and large seaboard clearances
were the chief factors which contrib
uted to the success of the bulls.
London, Nov. 10.--The Mark Lane
Express in the course of long ar
ticle on the crops, says; THE de-
flciency in India is now known to be
very serious, but 1t is not likely that
any large wheat imports will occur.
Although prices only range from 26e
to 36s per quarters, the extreme pow
erty OF the Indian populace renders
anything over 30s almost prohibitory
and 15s to 25s is the usual range.
Owing to the failure in India and
Austria, deficiency of 2,033 500 quar-
tiers has been created in Great Brit
aims usual supply, which must be made
up from other sources, and this is a
change in the situation which in itself
is sufficient to uphold the recent rise,
"The quantities of wheat In passage
to the United Kingdom on Nov. 7
we're 2,045,000 quarters, of which Rus
sian wheat amounts to 100000 quar-
ters, North American 100000, South
Am. rican 100000, California 100000,
and elsewhere $4,000 quarters.
"The spring corn trade has been
dull for maize, the supply OF which is
larger than even a good retail demand
can easily assimilate, while the large
new crop in America discourages any
idea Of speculation purchases for rise
in 1897. +"
