NEW, YoRK-The sensational ad-
vance OF December wheat In Chicago
to-day from 81 OOA to 81 % was reflect
ed locally by a net Improvement OF llsa
rs per bushel. Speculation while active
at times did not approach the excite
ment reached In the west as traders
here were pretty well evened up and
too shrewd In the present unsettled
state OF the market affairs to branch out
into fresh deals, Accordingly only a
scalping business was accomplished,
save for little foreign buying In the
early day. The December option sold
from CSC to 9S&c and closed at Csc 10
9S3s. while May closed at 9I%c, after
sales at S3Bc and 95c The advance eff
fectively checked exporters, who were
only able to secure twenty loads.
