CHICAGO.

CHICAGO. September 22.-A general
rush to buy today sent wheat soaring.
The defeat of reciprocity in Canada was
the only influence thought of. everything
else temporarily being forgotten. 1t
was the accepted view that with no
Canadian wheat valuable, the holders of
American wheat We're in Il position to
command greatly enhanced figures, at
least from the mills. Indeed one promi-
an advance of 20 cents not improbable for
spring wheat. Dispatches from Liver
pool telling of a decline there because
of the election outcome was entirely
ignored in Chicago. The opening here
was 1Aa1ss to 2ls higher than last night.
December started at 90 to .97l4. a gain of
Halls to 11aa19s, touched 367s, and then
climbed to 9712.
Oats attracted almost as much atten-
ton wheat being equally involved in
the defeat of reciprocity. 4 genuine buy
ing furry ensued. Commission houses,
cash concerns. shorts and local bulls all
holders checked the rise. The market
opened Is to la up. December started
at 46ls to 464. bulge of 3 to II. and
assembled to 463s.
AS the reciprocity treaty did not refer
to corn, that cereal was unaffected by
the uproar in the neighboring pits. Light
ness of country offerings. however. led
to IA little display Of strength December,

After the first staggering effects OF the

the issues Immediately concerned in the
defeat of the reciprocity agreement the
market began to respond TO banking
support which was extended to the repre-
