Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 2S.-Wheat sold at
the highest point of the year shortly after
the opening this morning. The advance
was not permanent, however and on rea-
lzng sales prices broke cents. and clos
ed well under last night. The opening
showed the customary bulge over night,
and the bulls were in an exultant state
over the enhanced values. During the
morning Toledo scored the dollar mark,
but as the contract grade at that place is
No. red, which is selling at fancy prem
ums everywhere, the Importance of the
fact was not so great as 1t otherwise
would have been. The cash demand was
very slow to-day and Liverpool bids We're
still out of line. May wheat opened from
S51ac to S5Ac, sold at $3.50, declined to
S3%c, closing at S37s@84c-34Q7sc under yes
terday. Cash wheat was firm and higher
early, closing easier at &c decline.
Corn-An advance of I'D at Liverpool,
helped corn materially. The opening
strength of wheat was. of course, the
main agent in producing hrmness, but
when a reaction in that market took place
there was a like disposition evinced by
corn. May corn opened at 275sc, declined
to and closed at H1sc-Ad3sc under yes
terday. Cash corn was firm early, but
later was quoted Nc lower.
oats rose and sank in price with wheat.
The action was purely a matter of SYM
pathy, nothing In the news bearing the
imprint of choice. May oats closed Ac
lower Cash oats were quiet and steady.
Observation-Disclosures in the early inn

ed by an advance of 5Ql0 cents in the

the packers and covering by shorts. the
demand sustaining prices reasonably well.
