CHICAGO. Nov. 11.-Fresh con
firmation of damage to the Argentine
wheat crop by locusts created consid-
cradle excitement in the wheat pit
here today and resulted in sharp adj
vances. Demand for the December de-
livery was especially urgent and the
price of that option advanced from
$103 ga to $1.05 within the first half
hour The top for December was
reached at marks of the day and / to

figures.
Wet weather throughout the corn
belt, the bulge in wheat, light receipts
and an improved demand for the cash
grain impaired considerable strength
to the corn market. The close was
strong with prices 3-S@1-2c to 5-Sc
above yesterday.
An excellent shipping demand and
the strength of other grains inspired
fairly active buying of oats, resulting
in moderate strength all day. Prices
