CHICAGO. October 27.-Fresh adj
vances in the price Of wheat took
place today on general buying. which
was chiefly ascribed to notice taken
of the farm strike and to yesterday
large export business. Rainy weather
which might further retard~ rural de-
liveries, was also apparently bullish
influence in this connection. Atten-
ton was drawn to the fact that the
stock of wheat in Chicago totaled
only 100000 bushels. and that today's
receipts here were me2ger. about
twenty cars. Opening prices. which
varied from UNCHANGED figures to =
higher. were followed by substantial
gains all around, and then something
