1t, and after opening Nc above last nights
ciose, became very strong, selling at 901zc.
Our advance stimulated cables, and the sec
onn cables were Id higher, not enough,
however, to reflect all our advance.
around 90Ac the market seemed to have
unlimited selling orders, 50 the last half
OF the session was dragy and uninteresting,
tae market closing at eetIeSAc. As usual.
the december option preceded the advance
IN May. Clearances were large again, 1,7OO,-
OO9 bushels. Receipts in the northwest were
not heavy, but over 30 per cent larger than
year ago. French cables were lower. We
regard the furry today as another oppor-
turity to sell wheat at a good price. As
We have said right along. the market has
two sides to 1t, and while we are inclined
to favor the bull side, yet the market Is
a good scaiping one to buy on breaks, at
least IL has proven Such- General condi-
tions are bullish. and if receipts should fall
on, as It IS claimed they musa do, the
market may continue to be good scalping
market. The foreign situation seems
strong. Corn did not sympathiZe with the
strength in wheat, but corn is cheap and,
while II may sell some lower, we expect
to continue to be friendly to the long side.
Provisions were quiet, wheat absorbing the
attention of the trade. Receipts OF hogs
continue fairly good, and cash demand for
provisions is all that could be expected.
Sugar went up like a rocket on the open
ing this morning, running up over three
cents in a very few minutes.
