Chicago September 16. Wheat went soaring today. largely because of reports of Austro-German advantages that made the end of the war appear remote. After a rise of as much as 5 cents bushel the market closed nervous with gains of 41tc to 4ssc net Corn wound up 1sq1ssc higher and oats at an advance of 1&0 1Ac. In provisions the outcome ranged from 10c decline to 2oc of extra cost.
 It was not until just before the close that the wheat market reached the high level..s A jump in quotations at Liver pool tended from the outset to make buy CTS courageous and sellers more and more scarce. Heavy receipts northwest were ignored.
 Corn advanced with wheat and as a result of assertions that sufficient lake vessel room had been chartered to carry off all the stock of contract corn in Chi- cago. rf
 Cali for cash oats seemed to be the most eager since the beginning of the wal. Shipping sales here today were said to aggregate nearly 2,o0o.oeo bushels. chief ly for export
