NEW YORK.


New York, Oct. 29.-Wheat advanced
at he opening to-day scoring gain
of 2 cents This was followed by a
partial loss and nervous close. News
was bullish all day, but a sudden
tightening of the market at midday
caused hasty unloading of long wheat
that broke December from 1890. down
to 78Kc. From this point it slowly
rallied to 7STsc. where it closed. Ex-
ceptionally strong cables and a pros
pect of diminishing spring wheat re-
ceipts were the chief factors. Foreign
houses were good buyers, both here and
at Uhe West Private cables reiterated
the reports about injury to the Austral-
ian and Indian crops.
