WHEAT.
Weather advices. reports of damage to
crops in Nebraska. strong outside markets
and cables all made for an extremely strong
wheat market. and but for the great
amount of long wheat that came out, a
much larger advance would have been re-
corded. Sept. at the opening showed an ad-
up quickly to s1ssc, while Dec. touched Sc:
The selling then became of such influential
character that prices broke to sOZc and
S2Bc, respectively. Near the close. however.

Part of the early strength in corn was due
to sympathy with wheat. Uncertainty as
to the effect of the heavy rains West and
fears of cold weather to follow were also
influential factors. Timid shorts covered
freely and held prices at a good advance

prices eased OF and the loss was but par
