their preceding finals.
Liverpool brokers, Japanese interests
and spot people were the principal sellers
early in the session. while the markets
absorbing power came from trade inter-
ests and New Orleans. Later demand
from shorts and speculative support
from Liverpool set in. The situation In
New England mill districts was very

WHEAT Is HIGHEST
SINCE OCT. 4PRICES
Rush to Buy Results From
Prospects of Unexpected
Export Business.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2.--Wheat prices jumped
to-day to the highest point since oc-
tober last. 1t was contended that
United States hard winter wheat is at
present the cheapest wheat I'm the world
The market closed strong at / !. to 4
cents net gain, with May S1.28M to
$1.23ss and July S1.07A to $1.0T *.
Corn finished at gain of 81 a. "a 20 u
cents up; oats u to Is cents, and pro-
visions IT to 81 cents.
More attention TO world supply and
demand conditions was given by wheat
traders to-day than for a long while. a
big bulge in prices at Liverpool resulted
in dissipating belief that export business
from the United States was over for the
season. A general rush to buy marked
| the opening and at no time thereafter
were offerings plentiful enough to equal
the demand. Excessively cold weather
and high winds in the dry area of the
domestic winter crop belt tended further
to lift wheat values, as did word thar
between 400,000 and 100000 bushels of
rye had been purchased for export. In
| addition Argentine exports of wheat
were estimated at nearly quadruple
! those OF a year ago. Prices SCARED
! throughout the session with the close al
the topmost level
! Corn and oats. which were rather neg
lected, failed to keep up with wheats
pace. Nevertheless both feed grains re-
nected the results of the increase i'm 1e-

'The United Kingdom was buyer of

with Continental countries took about
100000 bushel. The buying was largely
OF NO. . Manitobas, although some Gulf
wheat was taken. The report that
freight room for cargo of wheat for
Portugal had been engaged led TO the
rumor that considerable wheat had been
purchased by that country No con-
firmaton of any purchases, however.
could be obtained. Corn sales showed
no change from those of the last few
days, only about 100000 bushels having
been purchased. The rye business has
been much larger than exporters ad-
mitted. Russia was said to have pur-
chased 10000 bushels andRnother good
