TODAY'S CHICAGO PRICES.
CHICAGO. July 1S.-Wheat scored
q sharp advance in price to-day dur
ing the early dealings ascending in
some cases more than cents a
bushel. The sudden rise was largely
due TO hurried active purchasing on
the part of previous sellers who were
nervous over concerted efforts being
! made to lift values. Unusual pub
licity given to the movement urging
investors to buy l 900 bushels of
wheat and housewives to buy
barrel of -four" received especial no.
ticA IN this connection. Besides there
was an evident falling off in the
volume Of rural offerings of wheat.
Opening prices, which ranged from Is
TO lis higher. with. September a7ls
to 97"s and December 100 to l.00Ss.
were followed by advances that took
September up. to 81 Is. - :
Corn and oats advanced with wheat.
After opening Is to 1s- higher. Sep
tember 76h to 16s4, the corn market
continued to strengthen.
Oats started Il to Il up. September.
34i4 to 3tss. Later material gain
took place. '.-.r-
Lower quotations on hogs eased the
provision market.
