ADVANCE IN WHEAT.
Opening for December One and a
Quarter Higher Than Oh Friday.

New York Nov. 2S.-The wheat market
made another record for itself for tue
year today, by the opening of the Decem-
ber option at 81 IL, or l 4 points above
the closing price of yesterday. All OF
the early news was OF a bnlish character.
The foreign cables were better, showing
advances Of a penny on all active options.
This, of ITSELF would have acted as IL tonic
on the local and Chicago markets, but
it was supplemented by the further news
that the Argentine shipments were uneX-
pectedly small, aggregatiug only 10000
bushels.
From the West came the Information
that the severe weather in the Northwest
had forced a material decrease in the
movement and the receipts showed a
marked falling off. In addition to this
it was reported that three car goes of wheat
had been taken at San Francisco: one for
shipment to Cape Town, Africa, and two
to Australia.
With such news on hand before the
opening, a sharp advance was to be cX-
pected. The opening price for December, at
81 1-2, and for May, at 80 3-4, was i'm
proved upon shortly after the opening
by bids and sales, of Is higher, hut that
was the high water mark for the day.
The great advance since the close of the
previous Saturday of 81 Is, for De-
cember, to 81 5-S today, has made the
profit side of the account in the case OF
many traders altogether too alluring to
be resisted, and the desire to realize
caused heavy lines Of long stock to he
thrown over, in spite of the general bullish
news and sentiment.
This selling movement was too strong to
be checked, and a decline followed. The
decline was sharp and steady, and the
price of both December and May at the
close was at the exact quotation of yes
terday's closing.
1t is generally conceded that the selling
was for profit solely, and that the bearish
element did not participate To any notice
able extent.
