THE WEEK IN WHEAT.
Chicago, Oct. 30-The close OF the week
finds wheat considerably improved from
the strong position II occupied last Sat
urday, when the highest prices for several
weeks We're recorded. The range Of De-
cember has ben wide, that option having
sold as low as SO cents and as high as
9Si2 cents. Yesterdays closing price, 9S2l
cents, was % cents higher than week
ago. The improvement in the general sit
uation may be ascribed principally TO the
continued falling off Of receipts al the big
western receiving points. which wos so
much OF q factor luast week, and which
confirms in degree the reduced estimates
on the crop of the three great wheat
states of the northwest. There was con-
siderable profit-takng early in the week,
but later a general disposition TO cover
December short contracts and put them out
in May developed. The result was that
May, in the face of the strong general
situation. not only failed to advance, but
even declined a fraction, the spread be-
tween the two months widening to 3 cents.
Late In the week there was a great deal
srong spot by traders known as the bull
clique" A new feature was the engage
Inent Of about loo 900 bushels Of wheat
at Duluth for shipment TO Chicago. The
cash market as q whole was IN an unsat-
isfactory condition. Offerings of No. 2
the December price brought no response
and encouraged short selling, indicating as
ii did a rather inflated condition of prices.
