Activity.
Chicago, Sept. 3.--Fear that the Eu
ropean war might spread brought
about a further advance today in the
price of wheat. 1t was confirmed that
the British government had placed or
ders for heavy purchases of flour.
After opening sc to 2Ac higher. prices
were close to the>top level reached.
Rumors that Italy had Joined the
allies led to a further upturn. There
was said to be an active demand from
exporters at the Atlantic seaboard. The
close was strong, sc to 3% net high
| er.
Corn rose with wheat. There was g
good miscellaneous demand. The open
ing. which was Ac to %@bc up, was
| followed by additional gains.
~ Scarcity of pit offerings resulted in
a continued rise. Bullish crop esti-
mates were of decided help. The close
was steady at 1 asc to 1 &c above last
night.
High sales to the seaboard made the
oats market firm. On the bulge, how
ever, there was considerable profit TAX
| ing by longs.
| Provisions turned upgrade after an
early break, due to longer prices for
hogs. The rally influenced by the gen.
eral advance in grain.
