Chicago, Nov. Wheat The
market opened at fractional advance
over Saturdays prices, broke cent
per bushel on the weakness In the
closing cables, railing on the smaller
increase in the visible than has been
anticipated. Local sentiment contin-
ued bearish and professionals We're
pounding the market. The market to-
day had been narrow, nervous one,
the trade being light and chiefly OF
local professional character. The
selling is mainly by shorts, who force
advances on themselves when en-

emily. very little selling in the way OF
liauidation.--Ch e. Lewis & Co.
