SHARP ADVANCE IN WHEAT ON
THE CALL BOARD.

Barley Firmer, but Not Very Active
Oats Steady-Heavy Tone to
Hay Market.
San Francisco, Oct. I'd.
Wheat on call opened buoyant and
higher, and afterwards had further
sharp advance under a large volume or
trade in sympathy with another advance
in the Chicago and English prices, largely
based on the war outlook. Spot Wheat at
last began to respond, and prices were
raised PIC per Genital all around. Barley
in this market was firmer in sympathy
with wheat, but not very active. Oats
were steady Receipts were 1000 centals,
including $3.50 Oregon. Stocks October 1st
were 4O30 tons, against 2S32 tons Septem-
