CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-Wheat started firm at about yesterdays closing figures. became easy for a minute or and then became compara- lively strong and kept on the rise for over an hour. At the end of that time September had advanced to 63G63Lc, compared with 63c bid the day before. December did follow September at that time to the extent of 1tc reaching 52hc, when September WAS 6S1fc and going no higher during the latter's further Ac improve ment. It was evident from that that the extra strength In the nearer delivery proceeded from slight misgiVlngs as to the suthciency Of re- cepts in the near future. Primary Western market receipts amounted to S54. 900 bushels. against S73, 900 bushels the same day last year. Bradstreet's reported the worlds visible sup ply to have decreased 3,49S, coo bushels and just previous to that announcement 1t became known that large business had been done in spot wheat for prompt shipment. About 200 coo bushels No red disposed of at 4c bushel In store here above September price. The cash business and Bradstreets to- gether caused advance in September to 63hc, but December stuck when 1t got as high as 62c on the last bulge. December closed sc higher at 63%c and December gained Ssc, closing at 62c.
 Reports of deterioration in condition of the three days strengthened corn. September left off 1zc up.
 Oats ruled steady in sympathy with the other grains September closed with gain of 1ac.
