vices said that their wheat market had opened
higher, but that the advance was soon lost.
London reported very dull markets, with sell
ers asking Sd per quarter for cargoes OIL
coast and that cargoes on passage were being
held at ed per quarter higher. English coun-
try markets were steady and French coun-
try markets firm. Chicago reported that the
"crowd"-that Is, the majority Of active trad
ers-felt nervous and unsettled with many
strong parties enlisted on the bear side,
also that the feverish rise Of yesterday was
due more to fright on the part of shorts than
anything else. The news OF the day was
mixed in character. Cables above mentioned
were bearish, but there were other advices.
Reports from Australia stated that there
and that the Argentine was in much the same
condition The latter we place no credence
In, for the dispatch looks like one made to
order.
December wheat opened at 921kc. being &c
under yesterday. advanced to 92Ac and de-
clined to 92l4c by noon. May wheat opened
at soc, being nc under yesterdays close, sold
at 89Bc, gained hc, lost 1sc, jumped from
$3.50 to Gle between 1914 a. m and 1915 a.
m, slowed off and gradually sank to 90c by
noon. The demand for cash wheat was good
today, and especially good for No. north
ern. Some of 1t sold at 4c over the May
price. and really fine samples at 5lac over.
In this connection it was said that broker,
and perhaps brokers, bought freely at the
top prices for wheat to arrive either In De-
cember or January. This was deemed as
rather extraordinary, and the consensus of
opinion was that this wheat was being bought
for the bull clique in Chicago. Whether
lends color to the suppositon. Other grades
were about the same as yesterday Receipts
here were 5S1 cars; shipments. 1O9 cars.
The market during the noon hour resem-
of high temperature, limp and tractable. with
evident weakness There was nothing en-
oouraging from outside sources to be ADDED
to the story of the morning. December wheat
