Another Sharp Advance in Spot
and Futures.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 21.-Wheat
in the local market made a further ad-
vance in both spot and futures, though
not so sharply as yesterday. AT the

81 4434 and closed at 81 4312.
The concensus of opinion among the
brokers is that while there may be
drop during the next few days, prices
will be much higher when the wheat
