Future Grain and Provision

CHICAGO. Sept. 24.LEnornous export sales
were mainly responsible for strong advance in
wheat today, December closing with net gain
of 1B@1Ac. Corn and oats advanced Sc
while provisions after dull day remained prac-
tically unchanged.
With the exception of a dip of about sc from
the opening bulge wheat sold on a jauntily ad-
vancing market reactions were slight and of
brief duration. Considerable long wheat was
disposed of the theory that the pail of bulIish
smoke was not entirely justified by the FIRE under
it. A southwestern crop observer telegraphed
that rain or rain the wheat acreage of Kan
sas Oklahoma and southern Missouri would be
reduced anywhere from 10 to 25 per cent. Ar
gentine shipments were considered light Kansas

of the market was distinctly firm. Indications
were that the market was oversold several days
the safe side of their trades. In this they
encouraged by the strength of the cash
market and freezing weather in Montana with
prospects of snow in that section. Local receipts
were 1S9 cars, with 92 of contract grade. The
range of prices covered ] cent and the close

more or less excessive. and values were weak
and unsustaiIed in consequence Tomatoes con
tinued to pour into the market from both
the bay and river districts and as the can

were dependent upon retail tradesmen for an
outlet. Large lines were turned over TO catsup
makers at 15c box, and only strictly fine lots
received any attention from other buyers and
the top quotation of 40c was an extreme figure,
large buyers being able TO secure supplies of
the best packs for less. Green corn sold at
the previously quoted rates but there was
very little call for it and the light receipts
proved excessive. In the potato market fine
