Wheat opened firm to-day at k@$c
higher than II closed Saturday, notwlth-
standing 9id decline at Liverpool to
begin with. Paris was higher and
mall advces from Europe were unex-
ceptIonally bullish. Reports from the
northwest were not so rose-colored as
they had been and generally the news
Of the day favored buying rather than
selling. The visible decreased $4,000
bushels, Notwithstanding the heavy re-
| celpts OF the last week at the primary
| markets, In connection with the Wis
ible supply statements the fact OF Kan
sas City having Increased stocks only
&c 900 bushels and Toledo having de-

| times decline the price cabled to-day
was twenty centimes higher than the
true closing price OF the last week.
| The general tendency of prices was
downward up to about - o'clock, about
| which time the bulllshness that prevail
ed for short time around the opening
began once more to assert itself. The
| news Of the day was all In before the
| price started on Its second advance and
the bears meantime had parted with a
| good deal of wheat. The price OF Sep
TENDER, which had sold early at 76c,
declined 10 75&c, on advices from the
| seaboafd that foreigners were Teseliing
cargoes there. outside markets were
| strong and the bulls took hold with re-
Moved courage. Chicago shipments
amounting 20 over 100000 bushels was
the strongest bull card and used In put
ting the price Of September to 71he
with a rush. September opened Bq&c
higher at 75EQ76c. sold off to 76Ssc, ad-
vanced to 77hc. closing at 76B@77c.

closing at 26%c bid, net advance OF
nc.
Trading in oats was dull with fuc-
| tuation following corn. The heavy re-
celpts 1000 cars, caused the weakness in
