CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Wheat Rises at Opening on Indications I
Strike Settlement.

| Chicago, Sept. 2.---Confidencs that set
| Element Of the railway strike would be ef-
| fected led to a decided upturn In wheat.
The close was strong at the highest level
of the session, a net advance Of IN m4Ac
with December at SLAIN @l.B and May at
sI.4sA @i.49A. Other leading staples too,
all showed gains-corn 20 nc. oats NO
| &c and provisions lb@60c.
Disappearance of anxiety over the chance
that the eight-hour bill might be defeated
was evident from theoutset In the wheat
market. All pressure to ell was absent,
and instead signs developed that foreign
demand had become urgent Indeed, cash
premiums paid by exporters were the high
est of any time this season. Notification OF
a general notification of railway embarEoes
seemed to he chiefly responsible for the
activity OF foreigners. Although at inter-
walls during the day realizing by holders
was ma liberal scale the ensuing down
turns in values proved brief. ..
In addition TO the fact that shipping
business had already improved and was
expected to be much better the coming
week. the presence OF frost In Canada
tended also TO give an advantage to the
bulls. Reports were at hand, too, that little
blowing had been done SO far In oklahoma
and that predictions were for a poor crop
there next year unless conditions soon
underwent radical change.
Corn like wheat, showed a broad general
demand. Some export business was done and
commission house buying was OF good
class.
Oats displayed independent strength.
owing to announcement that the British
government had taken 1000, 900 bushels

Spectators and packers were active buy

the railroad situation acted a smore than
