WHEAT MARKET
SHOOTS UPWARD
Bullish Estimate of Yield i'm United
States and Canada Had Decid-
eddy Strong Effect.

Chicago, Sept 5.-Bullish estimates
of the yield both in the United States
and Canada had a decidedly strong
effect on the wheat market here.
Settlement of the railway strike con-
tinued also to favor the buying side.
Opening prices, which ranged from
1850 to 4c higher, with December at
1872 to Isl and May at 1.51 TO 1922,
were followed by a slight reaction, but
then a rally to nearly the top initial
values.
Sharp further gains ensued owing
largely to assertions that the condi-
ton of domestic spring wheat at har-
vest this year averaged only 42.4, by
far the lowest on record. Besides. there
was said TO be an urgent demand from
Europe. The close was unsettled ASK
10 Ga net higher, with December at
1.52Ss to 1.53 and May at 1889 to LA.
Chicago, Sept. Corn hardened
with wheat After opening unchanged
to &c higher, the market scored some
gains all around.
Corn reports especially from Illinois
were bullsh and the market continued
to ascend. The close was strong at 1 Il
to 25sC net advance.
Oats showed independent firmness.
Hope of export business appeared to be
the governing influence.
Higher prices on hogs lifted provis-
ions. There was no pressure TO sell.
