CHICAGO. April l7-This was one of
lne record breaking days in the wheat
market. That article closed. after an eX-
citing days business, at an advance of
t.Sc ON the price IL left of AZ Thursday
The. heaviest and most successful OF the
local spectators in the business were on
the buying side and shorts were caught
ana badly squeezed. Other grain markets
ana provisions were comparatively dull
The strength of wheat came almost en-
urely from abroad.
Wheat was weak for about three min
utes AT the start. but soon got over that
and 'srOng' IL applied 20 its Subsequent
condition wouid hardly describe it. II be-
came excited for a few minutes n times
on several occasions. Nay and July III
lures started within &c OF each other but
rs the rise in price which followed the
weak start was approaching its climax
May shot Ssc or more ahead of July,
Wnicl gave rise TO the idea that shorts IN
the former month Were more numerous
than haQ been supposed. May opened at
from b5'.c down 10 6S4sc. as compared
with 69'sc at the close OF Thursdays Ses-
sion. IL acted I'm an uncertain way for
Few minutes az around the prices named
and then commenced a struggle for the
mtasre offerings. which in @ little more
than quarter of an hCur from the start
had advanced May to Il3sc and July 10
lilac.
At the bottom the reasons for the adj
vance We're undoubtedly the bad accounts
from the country about winter wheat pros
poets, but more direct cause at the
opening was reports received from New
York that foreigners were heavy buyers
OF wheat there. They were said 10 be
taking both spot wheat and futures and
the inquiries for tn, cash article extended
20 Chicago. New York sales for export
were reported at % boat loads.
Corn partook but slightly in the bullish-
ness ot wheat and il is not unlikely. judg-
Ing by the readiness with which II respond
that the market would have declined had
not wheat been so ScnSauOnallN strong.

larger receipts and offerings were fairly
liberal for that reason. Exports amounted
