Chicago, Aug. 9.--At tip-,op prices

trade wheat showed an advance of
llM cents bushel overnight. The

that transactions in many cases were
cents apart at the same instant. The
initial range on December varied
from $l42 to $l.45. l-
Jumps in the value of other options
than December, although radical, were
not quite so severe. Taken as a
whole, the market opened 5 to 8 cents
higher, and when relative steadiness
was established, showed S% to 6A
cents gain as compared with yester-
days close.

cents over yesterdays final figures,

more intense, and the market scared
to 10 cents a bushel above yesterdays
close, December wheat touching $l.H.
At times the market appeared to be
entirely bare of offerings. An incen-
tive for the late demand was an esti-
mate by leading authority that ow-
ing to the increase of black rust the
Canadian crop this season would be
only 200,000,000 bushel. shortage Of
l36,000000 bushels under last years

in the market rushed prices up to
nearly IL cents advance in some
cases, The new stimulus came from
assertions that large export business
was in progress.
