OF WHEAT
IS GOING UPWARD
HIGHER QUOTATIONS At LIVER
POOL INFLUENCE TO AMER
iCAN MARKETS.

Chicago, March 15.-Higher prices at
Liverpool, where there was large de-
crease in stocks, had a bullish effect to-
day on the wheat ma rket here. The out
look for a decided falling off in the
domestic visible supply total counted
also against the bears. Offers We're
scarce here until the price in some
cases had moved up csc above Satur-
days finish. The opening which rang
ed from N to sc higher was followed
by a continuous advance until orders to
purchase were filled. but then mater
ial reaction took place.
The close was nervous IN to SAC up.
Smallness Of receipts helped to lift
the corn market. in addition one of
the largest houses Iii the trade was a
conspicuous buyer of futures. After
starting a shade off to &c up, prices
scored gains all around.
The close was steady 1s to IN OILS
net advance.
Lively commission house demand for
oats was in evidence. Pit traders who
were short hurried to cover.
Large export clearances tended to
steady provisions. On the other hand
there was considerable selling in small
lots by miscellaneous holders.

many inventions to his credit and is
considered the mechanical wizard OF

never before in the Mississippi river.
McAdams. one of the owners of the net
