IN their mail. st. Louis soon gave an in
ulcation of their character by crowding
their Chicago brokers with buying orders
ana steadily pushed the price OF July up in
their own market until in about half an
hour they had the st. Louis price up 11sc
over where it closed yesterday. New York
sent one bullish item Of news by stating
that wheat taken for export there yester-
Jay aggregated $4,000 bushels, Ia, 90 or
when was for prompt Shipment. An ut
ter absence of export inquiry was reported
to-day, however. Chicago received is cars
OF wheat. against 46 a year ago.
Inc trade here was rather more strong
~ impressed by the bad crop report news
m the latter half than in the fore part OF
the session, and Bradstreets report show
ing 1863 600 bushels decrease in the world s
visible supply also came TO the assistance
OF the bulls. resulting in the price for May
