WHEAT RISES AT
LACK OF SUPPLY
Scarcity of Offerings Carries Quota.
tons TO the Highest Prices of
the Present Season.

Chicago. Sept. 2e.-Scarcity OF offer
ings carried the wheat market today
to the highest prices yet this season.
The September delivery was especially
difficulty to Duy. Opening prices which
ranged from 1sc to lie higher. with De-
cember at 1.5512 to 1865 and May at
1.55 10 1.5512, were followed by sharp
/ further gains and then something of a
reaction.
Late in the session a decided set
back in values took place as a result
of heavy profit taking by longs. The
close was weak, q c to 1c net lower
with December at 1.541s and May,
1885
Corn rose with wheat. On the
bulge. however, sellers became numer-
Gus. After opening a shade TO q c
higher, the market hardened a little
further but then tended to sag.
Subsequently prices eased off when
wheat turned weak. The close was
steady, sc off to &c up as compared
with yesterdays finish.
In oats the strength of other grain
was the governing factor. Demand
though, did not seem urgent
Provisions averaged a little lower
with hogs. Trade was light.
