OMAHA. Nov II, 1909.
Wheat was very nervous from the start

cited the shorts, Who covered and new
buying by the bull Interests put values up
sharply. Cash values also advanced under
good demand today.
Light receipts Of corn and the rear 3y
shorts thai December contracts VIII De
started caused firner values. Cash corn
was higher, with good demand.
Reports OF heavy damage by locusts IN
Argentina caused wheat TO take a sharp
upturn, with shorts covering freely. lhere
was no confirmation Of these reports and
further advances ara not likely, as ntle
credit ls given this news by the best
traders.
The strength In wheat and heavy cover
ing by shorts on light receipts and un-
favorable weather for moving the new crop
sent corn values higher and sentiment was
bullish during the session, giving the mar
ket excellent tone.

Stoned TO feel that with Chicago advices
unfavorable they ought not 20 pay more
than steady prices and were backward
about putting on anything, but were forced
to advance their bids by the free buying

that pretty much everything In sight was

What has been said regarding the mar

There were quite a number of feeders

inquiry for the better grades, and the

Features of the Trading and Closing

by loousts created considerable excitement
in the wheat pit here today and resulted
in sharp advances. Closing prices were up
lie to 1Mc, compared with Yesterdays final
figures. Coarse grain and provisions also
closed strong.
The new claims of injury to the Argen-
tine crop were contained in a cablegram
to e local concern and estimated that 20
per cent Of the wheat had been seriously
damaged. Demand for December was
especially urgent and the price OF that
option advanced from A-03%9l@ within the
first half hour. The top for December was
reached at s1.0h. The close was strong,
