market to-day followed the lead of the
foreign market and closed strong at an
advance of &c over yesterday. Foreigners
were good buyers of cash grain and We're
drought in America and in Argentina.
Corn was strong but advanced only 40
sc. Oats closed sc higher. Provisions
and strong markets abroad were the in
huences which were uppermost in the
wheat market when business began.
Buyers took hold with more confidence
while short sellers and in fact all kinds
of sellers were inclined to be more eau
tions. Liverpool cables opened at an ad-
quently advanced to Id over yesterdays
closing prices In the Pit there were
buying orders for December wheat COM
ing direct from Paris, though the guam
attract general attention. The predicuons
36 hours in all Of the winter and spring
for continued fair weather for the next
wheat territories was very disappointing
days light showers in the northwest
would become heavier and extend down
into the winter wheat country. The fact
that northwestern receipts were large
was not sufficient to Offset the effect of
the dry weather. The wheat arrivals at
minneapolis and Duluth were 1869 cars,
corresponding week last year. Chicago
receipts We're 356 cars. December which
closed yesterday at S9Ssc, opened to-day
at SS1sq901sc, with a few small lots SELL
q : n T-,a
advanced to 90S4c. Foreigners were lib
eral and persistent buyers of futures here
and in all other American markets The
closing advance in Paris was equal to
1Bc. Liverpool was up 1lkc and Antwerp
was up 1kc. To-day'S seaboard enga ge-
ments were reported at 6S boat loads. The
weekly report Of the Great Northern road
confirmed those of a large number OF
correspondents covering a wide area in
the northwest, that returns were disap-
pointing and that previous estimates
would have to be reduced. a very sharp
squirt in the price at Duluth gave color
to the stories. Reports of drought in the
Argentine came from very conserva tive
sources and from the fact that foreigners
bought not only wheat but corn and rye
IN this market and presumably else
where. it looked very much as though
the european centers were greatly stirred
up again.
The market grew very strong toward
the. close. The firmness of closing cables
and the anxiety of foreigners to nurchase
NHedt ScdTeu the shorts, who have been
having. their own way for some time past
December sold up to 912sc finally. and
closed firm at that price.
