SHARP ADVANCE
 IN WHEAT PRICES Market Is Strong All Day With
 Good Support WEATHER REPORTS BAD Corn is Weak in Early Session Owing to Rains But the Close Is Strong.
 Oats and Provisions
 Also Strong.
 
WEATHER REPORTS BAD

Chicago, August 13.-Fear of a wet har- vest in the northwest caused a radical upturn in wheat prices on the Board of Trade today, final quotations showing net gains of s4Q7sc to 1a1lsc.
 The wheat market was strong all day with the exception of short periods at the start, when moderate declines were ex- perienced as result of selling by south western interests. The feature of the days trading was the support given the market by several leading commission houses, the principal one was credited with purchases aggregating approximate ly 100000 bushels, the greater part was for December delivery. There was also free covering of shorts Much of the de- mand was based on reports from the northwest telling of wet weather which may delay the spring crop.
 One dispatch claimed that a cloudburst had occurred in southern part of Dakota and northern portion of Nebraska The weather bureau also predicted showers for Nebraska and Minnesota tonight. These reports with also a firmness at Liverpool offset all bearish factors. During the day the September delivery sold between 971s6D S7Ac and 987sc. The market closed at all most the top with September at 9S9s@9s94c
 Rains in sections of the corn belt caused temporary weakness in the corn market early in the day but the market later became strong, owing to additional com plaints of damage to the new crop by hot, dry weather. The bulge in wheat also had a strengthening effect. The market closed strong at almost the top with prices up 1sc to 5sc compared with yes terdays final figures.
 An excellent speculation demand for the cash grain prompted active buying of options on the oats market resulting in d strong tone throughout the entire day. Shorts were the principal buyers The close was strong with prices up 14c to 9sc.
 Liberal sales of lard to exporters was one of the chief reasons for strong mar ket in provisions. Lighter receipts of live hogs at western packing centers also contributed to the firmness. Prices at the close were Dc to 10c higher.
 Leading futures ranged as follows

 Futures opened steady at a decline of s to points on unfavorable cables. For some time after the opening selling was general, and the market gradually eased off to level 19 to 22 points below yes terday's closing. Some of the selling was said to be for the account of yesterdays largest buyers. The volume of selling done by scalpers was considerable. Heavy receipts of new cotton at Houston was the chief reason given for the bearlshness of the market. In the afternoon session there was a steadier feeling in evidence. Scalpers bought In their shorts and out siders bought for long account. The re- suit was a partial recovery, the market closing steady at net decline of 9@11 points.
