Sensational advances In the price
Of wheat at the principal grain centers
OF Europe. particularly at Liverpool
where gains Of sAd since last Tues.
day were recorded caused the market
here to open excited and strong with
all deliveries selling at record bresk-
ing prices for the season. The initial
advances ranged from A@a to 1$e
the latter being on the May option
which opened at 1.27 to $1.2s. The.
strength of the May delivery was said
to nave been due to the closing out
of trades for the account Of Ennis
and stoppanl, the New York concern,
which went into the hands Of re-
ceiver.
Towards the end of the first hour
the market broke sharply on general
selling inspired by enormous sales by
a leading commission house. For a
time the market was inclined to be
heavy because of free realizing sales
but gradually became buoyant again
owing to the bullish character Of the
news of the day. The statement OF
the leading bull that it would be sew
eral years before wheat prices would
be much lower than they are ct pres
ent had considerable effect. The mar.
ket closed firm with July at Sligo %
1.16h and September at S1.O7S.
The bulge in wheat caused moier.I
ate firmness in the corn market at
the start but prices declined sharply
following the break in wheat. Part
OF the loss was regaIned ON buying
based on wet weather in the corn belt
but the market was inclined 10 be
{
