factors in sharp advance in wheat today.

ably afegtad by wheat, and advanced about
1c each. Provisions We're weak early, but
turned strong and closed at slight advances
all around.
A surprise was given traders in wheat at
the outset by the bg dropping oil in re-
luth reporting bat so compared with
1924 a year ago. To add to the natural
bullish effect OF these figures, Liverpool
cables were firm and higher, and there was
quite a good demand to cover foreign

even more strength than the later delivery,
opening q ul2c higher az 65Hc, and advanced
to 65Ic AT G2&c for December the advance
was checked. That price was close to call
figures and Qu'+e 4 good deal Of selling by
holders of those privileges ensued, resulting
in slight reaction.
A period of dullness ensued, with prices
varying but litTle, until about noon, when the
Atlantic port clearauCes figures were posted,
showing the surprisingly large total of S59,-
coo bu of which New York contributed 6O6-
000 bu. As yesterdays visible supply state
ment gave stocks at New York at 1873 600 bu.
today's big shipments were entirely unlocked

WALL STREET GOSSIP-New York stock
gossip, reported by H. Holbert Son,
bankers and brokers, 341 Robert street, Ma
tonal German American bank building, ST.
Paul: Post & Flagg wire us: Sugar was by
FAR the most important stock today, starting
off very weak, and, after rallying 4 points,
ures than yesterday. This is the first time
since the present movement in this stock be-
gan that there has been any good support
in the market. That there has been large
amount of long stock sold is unquestionable
but 1T looks now as if this unloading were
about over. The great market was quite
during the day, presumably induced by the
higher rates for money, which loaned at 6
per cent quite freely for the first time but
these rates, in our judgment can't hold for
nearly $4,000 900 gold has been engaged today.
Should the present rate hold we look for
between SAC, 900 and $50, 00O 600 in gold to
is sure when combined with free govern

dragging just little and is being over

some punches of good stuff today brought
high prices.
Hogs-Earket steady in spite of a slump
at other points. The receipts were heavy and

bath Protective league, of which Senator

Mayor Josiah Quincy a resolution, protesting
against the mayor and board of aldermen
giving an official reception to the mayor and
aldermen of Milwaukee last Sunday. The
resolution was prompted by the announce
ment in the daily papers that Mayor Quincy
and other prominent officials Of the city on
the 18th instant gave TO the guests of the
city an official reception, including visits to
various city institutions and public works,
speeches and other exercises
The league protests against "this official
secularization of the Lords day, as an act
which. it believes, is violently in contrast
with the time-honored traditions of this citv
which was styled in the address to the visi,
tors "a typical city Of the East.'%
