time year ago. wheat today jumped
up In price. Exports from Russia and
the Danube were especially small. More

stocks of hard wheat had been whitfield
down materially by recent sales. and
that Chicago was relatively cheaper than
other markets. Dry weather in the Ar
gentine formed another factor on the
bull side The opening was u to q high
er. December started at 30 to 99A, the
same change from Saturday night as the
future list taken altogether rise to
99ss followed.
Wet weather strengthened the corn
market. Pit traders were buying. De-
cember opened shade lower to a like
amount up at 64ls to 64A, and advanced
10 64as.
Dealers in oats took their cue from
corn. Business. though, was entirely
local. December started q sixteenth
higher at 47ssa57% and went up to 47%.
Provisions eased off on account Of slow
demand for hogs. Initial sales were un-
changed to ~ down, with January de-
