, CHICAGO, December 2.-Sharp ad-
vances in the price of wheat took
place today, accompanied by gem
! eral rush to the bull side. and by a
scarcity of offerings. Assertions that
| the United States has already sold
! for export nearly as much as it safely
| can, counted in favor of the advance.
Gossip was also current that Aus
! tralia had made large sales. Opening
| quotations, which ranged from to s
! higher with December 1.65 to 1.1O and
| March 1.57 to 1914. were followed
! by rapid fluctuations. with the aver
/ age level about above yesterday s
| finish.
F.; Corn assembled with wheat. After
! opening IS to ! Is up. including May
| at 745s to IS, the market scored de-
| cided further gain.
! Oats were firmer, Influenced by the
, strength of other cereals. starting u
| to Is higher, May 1917 to 4s&, and
| continuing to harden.
! Upturns in the value of grain and
hogs helped to lift provisions.
