Bullish News Makes
Wheat Position Stronger

CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-(A. PD--Of- =
ficial announcement that August ex-
ports of wheat and flour were far
above estimates had a bullish effect
yesterday on wheat. Priced closed
firm 1 3-s to "a net higher, with De-
cember $1.27A to $1.2S and May
$1.316 1872. Corn finished a share to
1-2c up, oats off 1-80 4 c to 5-Sc and
provisions varying from 10c decline to
17c advance.
Bulls figured that after September
80 the exportable surplus OF United
States wheat, if a normal carry-over
is allowed for, will be near exhaustion.
Another stimulus to an advance in
prices came from word that the Ar
gentine exportable surplus has been
reduced 100000 bushels. Wet
weather in northwest counted likewise
as a bullish factor. on the other hand
profit-taking sales on the advan 'e
were heavy, and an increase Of 4,049, :
600 bushels in the United States visible
supply caused a bear drive on prices
after midday. Besides, new export
business appeared to lack volume.
Support from bull leaders, however,
was quickly forthcoming and shorts
were covering freely at the last
Corn averaged higher in sympathy
with wheat. Oats, though, tended
downward. largely as result of the
liberal stock in sight.
Higher quotations on hogs together
with big shipments of lard and meats,
put considerable firmness in pro-
visions.
