CHICAGO, August 4.-The foreign. de-
mand for American wheat to-day TOOK on
of inadequate supplies. Exporters report;
ed sales of about 100 600 bushels here ana
the seaboard. This market closed lt2c
higher. The advance was checked by the
marketing of long line estimated at b.
100000 bushels. Liverpool advanced an
equivalent of PFC Paris 2ssc and Antwerp
&c per bushel. Corn yielded &c per bushel
on timely rains west. Provisions were act
i've. advancing 7Izd25c. the latter in pork.
1t was again advanced at Liverpool in
wheat that supplied the motive for
fresh rise here at the start. September,
which yesterday closed at nc. opened ir-
regularly from I77sc TO I1lsc. the offering at
the lower quotation being trifing. how
ever, and very little changed hands be-
low the higher figures. Those were
quickly added TO by an energetic jump TO
and as quickly rose again, that time 10
! 1S14c. The Liverpool advance before trad
ing started here was Pad per Genital. or
about the equivalent of 2Ac per bushel.
The great export business done yesterday
and numerous acceptanceS of cargoes ana
smaller parcels ordered by cable yesterday
afternoon from Chicago and the seaboard
was of cOurse an Clementr0f the influence
at work that created the early strength.
The feverish fluctuations at the same time
gave an exact Interpretation or the unse'-
| tied feeling among the spectators. Inc
| price had another break to 16fkc before the
! expiration of the first hour and half or
| the session, and a rallying in the follow
! ing twenty minutes to 17Ssc. Germany ac-
| cepted everything offered last night and
the United Kingdom bought what NO.
| spring wheat Chicago was offered. IL was
claimed. however. that seaboard export
| ers were having much trouble in getting
|. the Kansas hard wheat they had already
sold TO go abroad. The Chicago receipts
were 1876 cars. against IA cars year ago
| of which l35 were new. Primary western
| market receipts were 1910 Dusnels,
! against $50 1870 bushels the corresponding
! day of 1896. The clearances for export
from the Atlantic ports were very liberal
the wheat alone being 1882 bushels The
amount of export takings reported from
! New York had by u O'Clock swelled to 100
! boat loads. and % loads or 100000 bushels
| We're reported done from here direct. The
/ latter was No. northern spring and No
spring. The latter grade sold In consid-
! cradle quantities between local dealers at
! premiums over September price, ranging
| according 10 location and desirabiiity OF
sample from c to 1l9c per bushel. As an
| indication of the demand still existing
! among country millers for spring wheat
! ii may be mentioned that one car load or
| No. l northern brought &c per bushel pre-
| MUM. The latest sensation I'm the shape
| OF the market information was the clos
ing quotations from foreign markets. Liv-
| erpool wound up with gain for the day
