CHICAGO, September 3.-Sharp ad-
vances took place in the wheat mar
ket today, largely as result OF
bullish estimates Of the amount of
wheat available for export. One au-
thority figured the total as 10000. 000
bushels less than last season. Open
ing quotations, which ranged from
the same as yesterdays finish to IN
higher. with December 2.40 to 2.41
and March 2.37 to 2.3S. were followed
by a moderate reaction, and then by
a swift general upturn that carried
December to 2.46.
Corn was dominated by the strength
Of wheat. After opening u on to "
up, including December at 1.18k to
119, corn soon scored substantial
gains all around.
subsequently the market weakened
when wheat suffered a setback. The
close was heavy. 4 to IN net lower,
with December i.isN to 1.1Sh.
Word of urgent need Of rain in Ar
gentina added TO the strength Of the
market, and so, too. did an advance
in Canadian exchange rates Appar-
ent stoppage Of export demand. how
ever. led to a reaction. The close
was unsettled. Y to IN net higher.
with December 2.41A to 2.41k and
March 2.37L, to 2.37Z.
Oats hardened in price with other
cereals. starting bout unchanged.
