CHICAGO MARKETS
Yesterdays Transactions on the Board
of Trade

| CHICAGO, July 3O.-Wheat commenced
with a great demand for September at
from 74a7419 Very little was secured at "a
at the opening. During the opening hours
the price advanced to 747s, reacted irregu-
| larry to l4ss and rose again about II 20
O'Clock to the former highest point The
trade in the pit during the time of these
fluctuations was both active and heavy.
Liverpool was firm and Paris strong
CableSrams said the continent was hav-
ing heavy rains and as the wheat harvest
is in progress that was construed bullishly.
The primary market receipts amounted to
1872 COO bushels against 1856 900 bushels on the
corresponding day of the year before
Kansas City receipts today were 5000
bushels. The clearances from the Atlantic
ports were equal in wheat and flour to
900 bushels. Great preparations are.
however, being made for forward shipment
according to New York advices, where it is
said forty steamers had been chartered
yesterday having a capacity of 1000 900
bushels, to load grain at the various At
lantic shipping ports. How much of that
is for wheat was not specified. The late
cablegrams reported such a surprisingly
strong market at Antwerp and Paris that
the former good demand for September
wheat was largely added to and the price
rose rapidly about noon, the time when
those cablegrams were received, from
around 74a4 to 7524@757s. Antwerp showed an
advance of 311a centimes for American red.

sold for export and $4,000 bushels spring

ingly large and September dropped with

ON CHANGE
What Was Done Yesterday on Wall
Street

NEW YORK, July 30.-Bonds were the
star performers in today's market, the
volume of trading therein being the largest
in a long time, exceeding $4,000 in value.
Mortgage securities We're generally strong,
special animation being shown in those of
reorganized roads and those undergoing
rehabilitation. Stockers were considerably
less active than usual, but bore up fairly
well until the announcement of engage
ment for export of some $4000,000 gold,
which was larger than anticipated A sus-
tanning feature was the pronounced
strength in wheat and European engage
ments of some 100000 bushels from our
ports. The standard securities moved very
narrowly. as in fact, did the low priced
shares. The foreign trading was consid
erably mixed, it being on the eve of the
holidays in London, trading was restricted
here, and such as there was came mainly
from New York buyers, and the market
abroad closed firm. The gold exports were
partly due to three months bills in settle
ment of April's large importations now be-
coming due. The bond transactions today
were again of large dimensions, with the
animation attended by higher prices
throughout. The speculative bonds were
heavily traded in with foreign purchasers
of Atchson adjustment tours on a large
scale. Oregon Short Line issues gained
subs tantially. The aggregate sales We're
81 125, GOO. Governments were neglected, but
hardened apprecably on bad quotations.
Inspired by the strongest kind of French
cables and export sales reaching all the
way from 60 to 100 loads at New York and
out ports, wheat bulls rushed prices up to
a point today that has not been reached
before in many a long day. pSeculation
was heavy, footing up 5000 600 bushels.
Scalpers, continental houses, the public
and big professionals all took hand on
the bull side. The result was an advance
to SIS for September, against sou, the
previous best price. In the last half hour,
however. top-heavy conditions manifested
themselves and a sharp break occurred,
September closing a SOS. which was cent
above last night, but also cent under the
best point of the day.
A remarkably strong set of cables, par
ticularly those from the French markets,
set the local wheat market in an uproar
again today. and elevated prices to the
highest point of the bull movement. Shorts,
continental houses and bulls were all good
buyers. Bearish home news was all ne
elected. Yesterdays big export trade of
100000 bushels established renewed con-
fidence on the long side of wheat Local
values advanced steadily all the morning
on active speculative trading and reached
Sl% at l o'clock for September. Closing
values were even stronger than the first
adVices,
