CHICAGO. Sept. Advances Of
&c to &c in the prices OF wheat here
today was not the result OF any
change in sentiment or in conditions
surrounding the wheat situation on
the whole The buying was led by
shorts and the sharp recovery from
the lowest levels OF the day we're
brought about In an effort on the part
of those who put out short lines at
much higher levels to secure the
handsome profits available.
While it is unlikely that anything
will turn up to change conditions In
favor OF the bulls, the cautious specu-
lator. very seldom allows big profit
to get away from him. The advance
was led by the September and was
followed feebly by the deferred
months. The market was a nervous
and erratic affair, with price changes
swift and continuous. and at times
quite sharp. Itlooked early in the day
as if'the bears would continue in full
control and that values must seek a
much lower level The early declines
were encouraging to the bears and
they made the most of IT,
