spread of the switchmen's strike caus- ed stampede among shorts in the wheat market today and transformed decided strength. At the close prices showed net gains for the day of I-X to 7-Sc. Corn closed steady but oats and provisions were strong.
 Possibility that the l.bor disturb ances which have almost completely tied up freight traffic in the North west might be extended to other railroads was the predomlnating influence in the wheat pit during the final hour and en- tirely offset the effect of a number of bearish factors which had created con siderable weakness earlier in the ses- sion. Shorts in the December delivery were especially eager to even up trades and in their anxiety. they bid the price of that option up to 1 1-2 above the low point of the day. This in turn affected the more distant deliv- cries although the July option showed onty a moderate upturn.
 The range on December for the day was between l05 If and sI06 3-4 while May sold betweenf 106T 1-sgand9 d05 7I Final quotations were almost at the top. December being at l0s 1-2 and vices claiming continuance of ideal weather for harvesting. additional rains in the winter wheat belt of the coun- try and each of the three crop ex-
 
 age seeded to fall wheat were the chief factors contributing to a heavy tone early in the day.
 Wet weather and the bulge in wheat held the corn market firm the greater part of the day. There was consider able selling at times, however, owing 60 the continued liberal arrivals. De- spite the unsettled weather conditions throughout the corn belt arrivals to- day exceeded the estimated amount and interests showed free offerings in the country. The market closed firm with prices unchanged to 1-S higher
 Oats were strong all day because of renewed buying of the December de- livery by cash interests Light re- ceipts were chiefly responsitie for the brisk demand. At the close prices were IA to 7-S above yesterdays final figures.
 Provisions were rather weak at the start but rallied early in the session and continued strong the remainder of the day. Stocks of provisions in store here, as indicated by yesterdays re- port, were larger than had been gen orally expected and this caused some selling at the opening. Shorts, how ever was urgent buyers owing to the continued light receipts of live hogs throughout the West and as a result prices throughout the entire list made substantial gains. The close showed net gains of ' 1-2 to IF 1-2c.
