CHICAGO, August 10.-Wheat ad-
vanced sharply today. after nesl-
ket appeared to be based to con-
siderable extent on opinions that the
government crop was bullish on
wheat. although bearish on corn and
pats. Besides, uneasiness continued
as to possible renewal OF the Wal
scare. Opening quotations, when
varied from unchanged figures to 4
| lower. with December 2.31 to 232
and March 2.35. were followed by a
decided upturn all around.
| Liberal offerings weakened the corn
market at the outset. but they were
absorbed quickly by leading commls-
sion houses, and a recovery ensued.
