Chicago, July 25.-Wheat-The week
has witnessed an upturn OF SIS TO 8
cents An wheat, about ! y cent OF which
was gained today. The advance has
been caused By a strong foreign de-
rnand for cash wheat and BY unsatts-
factory progress Of the northwestern
and Canadian crops. The strained po-
litical situation abroad vas responsible
for much OF the foreign demand and
for today's sharp advance. Trade was
largely OF an evening-up character as
no one was disposed to carry short
wheat over the holiday and cash houses
were good sellers in most cases
thor TO have been hedging gales
aga rather liberal country accept

business 20 some extent, indicating that

clear. warm weather, without waiting
down the corn crop, caused corr 70 adj
vance y to cent, July leading. Sell
ing on the advance was mostly in the
nature Of profit taking. There was
fair cash demand at prices about a cent
higher than yesterday. Receipts we're
light but country offerings were re
ported as more liberal. Farmers VINO
have corn ara Smelling between oats
harvest and threshing. The southern
demand for corn is said 10 De very
good, especially FOR white corn and il
is hardly likely that there viii be much
accumulation from the after harvest
run. Not much decline, therefore, is
looked for in the nearby deliveriese
Oats-Oats failed to reflect the
strength IN other grains, the selling o
July by elevator interests being g de-
pressing influence. The investment
trade is disposed 10 await the pressure
o. the early run OF oats before buying
Provisions-The market reacted from
yesterdays decline and showed mod
crate advance. Scattered investment
buying was in evidence. Cash trade
was quiet, but prices are said 10 have
held well again yesterdays market.
