NEW YORK.
New York, Aug. 4.-The controlling
factor in wheat again today was the
enormous export demand. At least mil
continent getting two-thirds and the
United Kingdom the balance. Foreigners
were buyers of futures also and with the
pronounced strength of English cables
caused an advance of 5s011ac in New
York prices for the day. Near the close
September sold at S5c, which eclipsed all
previous records on this campaign. The
excessive weakness in corn, resulting
from liquidation and better crop news,
caused some selling in wheat at times
during the day, but new buying sprang
up vigorously on each weak spot.
Total transactions posted up S,755,OO0
bushels. September opened at Soc, ranged
from 84A to Soc and closed nervous at
S5Ac.
