CHICAGO-wheat to-day developed
into a strong bull market and closed at
an advance OF cent over Saturday.
The continual falling of in primary
receipts and generally disappointing
spring wheat threshing returns caused
free covering and brought outside sup
mort to the market. Coarse grains were
utterly Indifferent to the wheat
strength and closed shade lower for
nearly all options. Lard declined 2Eq
sc, but other products made little
change.
Considerable irregularity was shown
by wheat during the morning, though
prices at all times were above Satur-
days closing quotations. An opening
advance OF %9h pence at Liverpool
and n still further advance at 1880 made
the opening here strong, September
starting at 71&c, an advance OF &c.
There WINS some disposition shown to
realize at the advance, and the market
wavered for n short time, September
selling at 7lKc, but the strength Of the
foreign markets, and some poor
threshing reports from the northwest
gave considerable confidence to the
bulls and all offerings were readily alb
sorbed September advancing TO lSsc.
A period OF comparative eRsiness fol-
lowed. Outside selling orders came In,
In sufficient quantities. to depress prices,
the decline being rendered ensy by the
favorable foreign crop news a feature
OF this was the announcement that
Russia, In spite of the famine reports
would have some wheat for export. The
market declined to 7lhc for September
and though rallies were frequent, the
tendency until after noon was lower.

lille supply, which was not expected to
show any material change. decreased
$50, 900 bushels. The general tenor OF
northwest harvesting reports was dis
appolnting, some returns being decided
" unfnvOrable. The weather In the
northwest was favorable. and the cash
demand here was poor. but this did not
discount the effect OF the crop prospects

Duluth receipts were 23l cars, against
