apparent consumption and exports did not eX-

furnaces have started since that date, with
several more to follow. The supply appears to
be at least equal to the demand, although
new demands for the week have covered 2lOO

WHEAT-The market took an upward turn

The advance was due to improvement at
Chicago. as there nothing in foreign ad-
vices to warrant a rise.
The Chicago market opened dull, but with
more disposition to buy. a better inquiry for
shipment prevailed. but the bears made a
stubborn fight against the advance. The whole
crowd short, and there was general rush
to cover when quotations started up. The de-
struction of 5000 acres in South Dakota by
hail was a factor, and the Government report
was also bullish, suggesting a spring yield of
23t OOO 600 bushels. against 256,0000 600 in July.
The total spring and winter yield was set at
