WHEAT ADVANCES
 IN ACTIVE MARKET Light Receipts In Southwest
 Are Cause of Upturn SHORTS BID ACTIVELY
Lively Demand In Corn Market Causes General Buying and Good Ad- vance-Oats and Provisions
 Also Close Firm.

Chicago, September 16.-Light receipts fin the southwest continued in a large degree to considerable advance in wheat prices here today. The market closed strong with prices up %d7sc com- pared with yesterdays final figures. Corn prices also advanced sharply and at the close were 5sa%c to 1ssc above the previous close. Oats and provisions also followed the upward trend.
 Although wheat prices showed sub stantial gain as a result of the days transactions, the great majority of trad CTS were unable to offer any more sat isfastory reason for the strength which was manifested the greater part of the session. The situation in the southwest was given, however, as the most logical reason.
 Receipts at Kansas City and St. Louis. which have been light for some time, were still lighter today and as result cash prices there reached higher pre- mium. A bulge in corn was another factor that helped to inspire demand for wheat Shorts were active bidders near ly all day.
 The opening was weak on selling, brought out by decline of 5s@1d at Liv- erpool and by a continued liberal move ment in the northwest. An estimated Canadian crop in the northwest, which indicated a crop much larger than an ticipated, was bearish factor early in the day. The market developed consider able firmness during the first half hour and gained in strength as trading pro- gressed. During the day the December delivery sold between 97Bc and 991a@ 99ssc. The close was strong with prices about half cent from the top, final fig ures on December being at 99c.
 Lively bidding by shorts for the Sep tember delivery caused active buying of all options of corn and resulted in ad- vances of more than 1 cent in all de- liveries.
 The demand for the September de- livery was based on the scantiness of stocks in store here and on an advance of 1aQD%c from the price of the cash grain. The market closed strong at al- most the top.
 The bulge in corn stimulated active buying of September oats, which resulted in substantial advances in all options. Leading longs sold freely all day, but offerings were easily absorbed. The close was strong with prices up 1zc to ?@s4c
 Provisions were strong throughout the entire session because of buying by loca packers and pit traders brought out by a falling off in stocks in store at al western packing centers. At the clost prices were 5@27c above yesterday: finals
 Leading futures ranged as follows:
