cHIcAGo-wheat to-day was infu-
enced by higher cables, light deliveries
of new wheat and by the sharp advance
at ST. Louis, closing strong at an ad-
vance OF 1h9ikc. Other markets were
quiet, most OF the interest centerlng In
wheat. Corn closed &c higher oats a
shade lower and provisions unchanged
to 2lsc higher.
Wheat was strong from the start, The
Liverpool wheat market commenced at
an advance OF I'd for futures and 1sd for
spot and the next report received had
just az trading began here showed fur
Their gain OF Nd in the futures, That
caused n strong opening here, September
being wanted at from 66bc to G69s, COM
pared with 65& Q65Nc at the close the
day before and selling almost imme-
dlately to 66hc. Some other strong
points connected with the domestic re-
celpts helped also to create the bulllsh
feeling thus expressed. The Chicago re-
celpts were only seven cars four OF
which were new wheat. Last year on
the corresponding day 800 cars OF new
wheat was inspected Into store In Chi
cago ST. Louis got to-day 22,bOO BUSH
els, compared with $4,000 bushels a year
ago The receipts at Minneapolis and
Duluth were S67 cars against 497 the sim
liar day of the year before. The advance
in price to G6isc brought out plentiful of
ferlngS from those who had calls for the
day and that checked for the time any
further rise. New York reported some
foreign buyers orders. The principal
break to the enthusiasm OF the bulls was
the encouraging news from the north
west regarding the spring wheat crop.
AT Chicago, st. Louis, Toledo, Kansas
City and Detroit the receipts to-day ag-
gregated 5000 bushels, against $4,000
bushels the corresponding day of the
year before. This fact was given a great
deal OF attention by traders as 1t appar-
emily indicated exhaustion OF interior
supplies of old milling wheat. The At
lantic port clearances OF wheat and hour
were small at the equivalent of $4,000
bushels. The closing cablegrams re-
ported Liverpool advanced for the day
17sd for July and I'D for September and
December. New York was as bulllsh as
Chicago on July wheat and st. Louis
more bulllsh than either. The chief
trading OF the day until within twenty
minutes OF the close was at around 66Ac
and 66%c for September, but about that
time the two cent advance at St Louis
woke traders UP and In very short time
the price was rushed up to 6I9sc. There
was very heavy covering near the top OF
the bulge. BY closing time September
had reacted 20 &c.
Corn was neglected, the volume of
trade being smaller than for some time
and fluctuations were confined TO very
narrow range. AT the opening firm
feeling prevailed due to sympathy with
wheat. The market weakened trlile
later more from lack OF support than
from any bearish news, but became
strong again with wheat. Local receipts
were 754 cars. September opened shade
higher at 26% d26Nc, sold between 26AQ
265so and 26I a267sc closing at 26Ac.
The firmness which characterized oats
was for the most part due to sympathy
with wheat. Business was limit
ed and almost entirely local.
Shorts were the best buyers. Local re-
celpts were 33l cars September opened
unchanged at 1skdiSKc and held within
that range all day, closing at lShc.
Provisions ruled dull all day and weak
until within an hour OF the close. The
opening was lower on larger hog receipts
than expected. There was quite general
liquidation during the morning and as
n consequence further decline In values,
hut when wheat started on It's flnal ad-
vance some of Its strength was Injected
into provisions all the early loss being
picked up and n trlile more. Al the close
September pork was 2isc higher at 81 30;
September lard q shade higher at 81 9Op
9 92h and September ribs shade higher
at 81 3Od4 SPY.
