feeling was easier, because of reports from
New York and Chicago of heavy selling
orders from the continent. The trading
however was the most active for some time.
Inc long wheat could not come out as
was expected. and under the heavy buy
ing the market advanced rapidly for some
tine but after a cent and five-eighths ad-
vance from -.he closed of yesterday, ii sud-
denly broke and dropped cent. Selling
was light, however, and il soon rallied
again At the close the prices were 9, 20

NEW YORK.
New York, Aug. 4.-The controlling fac
tor in wheat again today was the enormous
export demand. AT least a million bushels
were sold TO go abroad, the continent get
ting two-thirds and the United Kingdom
the balance. Foreigners were buyers Of
futures also, and with the pronounced
strength of English cables caused an adj
vance of Is TO 114c in New York prices Tor
the day. Near the close September was al
S6c, which eclspes all previous records OF
this campaign. The excessive weakness IN
corn resulting from liquidations and better
crop news caused some selling in wheat at
times during the day, but new buying
sprang up vigorously on each weak spot.
