BULLISH WEATHER NEWS
ADVANCES WHEAT VALUES.
FOREIGN ADvICES FAVOR
THE BUYING SIDE.
Corn Shows Some Early Strength
and Closes Slightly Higher
Despite Light Trading.

Bullish weather conditions al home and
abroad caused sharp advance in grain
values. Locally the upward movement was
furthered by an excellent cash demand and
generally bullish speculative sentiment.
Reports of damage in the principal Eu-
ropean wheat-growing countries and fear
of similar conditions in the Northwest
forced the shorts to cover and induced the
longs to add to their lines. The Dec. OPP
ton was the favorite in speculative trading.
Local receipts were light and the ciearances
were large. Minneapolis and Chicago
traders were good buvers.
