Still the Upward Course of Wheat
Continues.

There was a heavy trade In speculative
wheat, with a sharp advance and wide fuc-
tuations throughout the session. TIL open
ing was higher in sympathy with higher
cables following lower markets on this side.
The wires were filed with all kinds Of news
regarding shortages, famine, ETC.. in the far
East. Cables continued the big advance. and
the local markets ruled very strong. Re-
actions were hard fought, while advances
were easily attained. The market for cash
wheat is inclined to Show signs of easing off
a little, although buyers are on hand for
everything grading up TO contract at De-
cember prices. But the tendency is for lower
grades to weaken a little, and the weakness
of these goods naturally takes the edge off
the market as Q whole. Following are clos
