MARKETS TAKE ON
HIGHER TONE TODAY

Chicago. Sept 26.-Renewed anx-
icty as to warlike developments at the
Dardauelles gave the wheat market a
new upturn today in the early deal
ings, Some traders were disposed
also to regard the threatened strike
of sailors on the great lakes as being
a bullish influence. 1t was commended
that an immediate effect OF the strike
would be to delay the movement OF
the Canadian crop and to increase de-
mand for wheat at the Gulf OF Mexico
and at eastern United States ports.
The opening. which varied from &c to
1Ac higher, with December s1.05 to
S105A and May sl.09. was followed
by continued firmness within the
initial range.
Corn and oats were tirmer in line
with wheat After opening unchang-
ed to sc higher, December sc to
59hc, the corn market showed but
little disposition to react.
Oats started &c to $sc higher, De
cember 1850 to 36&c, and later
hardened a trifie more.
Despite weakness in the hog mar
ket, provisions reflected better ship
ping demand for lard and meats.
