THE WHEAT MARKET STR TONG
AND ADVANCING.
Barley Firmer, but Not Active
Oats Firmly Held-No Note
worthy Changes in Hay.
San Francisco, Sept. 2Sth.


Chicago greatly helped the situation.
Liverpool opened I'D lower, but closed
with a rise of 1a@7sd. The latter advance
put much strength into the Chicago mar
ket, and according to a Broomhall cable
1t was caused by the great seriousness of
the South African situation. Barley was
firmer, in sympathy with Wheat but not
active. Receipts We're lighter, amounting
to 7,450 centals Oats were firmly held
Receipts were 5000 centals, nearly all
Oregon. Receipts of Corn We're 1,200 CEN
tails.

changes. Prices for Bran and Middlings
We're very firm.

acter with a fair shipping demand.
