tho morning reports to confirm the prospect of
an immediate reduction or removal of French
duty caused some selling early; later the mar

sharply The source of the strength was as
heretofore. strong cash markets and a good
milling demand This demand took the Of
ferings OF good milling Wheat again in all
the markets and the cash premiums stiu lead
the advance. The cash situation will we
think continue to control prices. So long as
mills take everything that Ia offered OF a good
quality there will not be much attraction on
the bear side. The movement, will however.
probably continue liberal and should this de.
mand slacken break would ensue''
In this market futures We're weak owing
principally to the pressure of the recent large

the feeling that good deal OF Wheat would
come here from the north later on in spite
of the large movement from that source to

was nothing new in the cash grain. II is

Future Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO Sept. 24.-Failure of foreign
grain markets to respond to the sharp ad
vance here yesterday caused considerable uoui-
dalton in the wheat pit when trading began
Sentiment was quite weak. Initial quotations
on December were of n6Mc to lKG1%c at
81 12ia to 81 1914. May was a shade higher
to MG5tc lower at l 13A to 81 14b shorts
took advantage of the break and covered free
y forcing up prices to about last nights clos
ing figures, December selling up to 81 1872 and
May to 81 H. The advance was not held
however, renewed profit taking causing a mod
crate reaction. In addition there was some
selling on n denial OF the rumor that fhe
French Government contemplated reducing the
import duty wheat. A report of the Cana
dian Minister OF the Interior also had a de-
pressing influence. According to that official
the crop damage stories regarding the situa-
ton in Canadian Northwest were grossly ex-
aggerated. The total yield OF Manitoba and
the Northwest Territories, 1t was claimed
would aggregate from $4,000, 600 to 60 OOO-
OC0 bushels OF good quality wheat. Toward the
latter part of the session sentiment suddenly
Veered to the bull side. An unconfrnled run,o,.
involving Great Britain and Russia caused ac
tive covering by shorts Offerings at the
time were light December selling up to 81 14aL
al 147s May rallied to 81 15A An advance
OF nearly three cents in the price of the be-
cennber delivery at St. Louis, and export saIes
there OF cash wheat OF 81 20 a bushel had
considerable effect on speculative trading here
Reports OF good flour sales in the Northwest
also were additional bull factor During
the last half hour most Of the gain was lost
renewed profit taking causing q declines OF
over nc. The close, however was firm with
December &c higher at 81 14M. Final ouo-
tations on May were &c up at 81 15A61 15ak
Corn was weak early, but became decidedly
strong late in the day, a buliish report Of
a well known crop expert making a still fur
ther reduction in the total yield. December
closed &c higher at 51H651Ac.
Oats followed corn. December closed at
31Mc, gain of Hc.
