TRADING IS WILD
IN WHEAT MARKET
Lack of July Grain to Fill Con-
tracts Makes 9-Cent
Advance in Price.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, July 31.-Belated buying
to fill July contracts gave the wheat
market an early tilt upward today.
Some initial transactions in the July
delivery showed an overnight Gov
ernment advance of as much as 3
cents a bushel. Offerings of July We're
scarce, and the consequent bidding up
of quotations for that month had a
strengthening effect on other deliver
les. Opening prices, unchanged TO 3
cents higher, September 1.50"a1. 81
and December L52a1.521a. We're fol
lowed by something of a sag, and then
by fresh upturns all around.
Corn and oats were easier, corn in
fuenced by further beneficial rains
and oats by continued hedging pres
sure. After opening unchanged to
halfcent lower, September 1903 "a
1.04. the corn market underwent a
slight general decline, but then re
covered.
Oats started at ] cent lower to Is
cent advance: September 42h a42A
Later all the months showed some
loss.
In line with hog values tie pro-
vision market averaged lower.
Spectators later paid dearly for
the privilege of selling wheat without
having first obtained ownership. Be
fore they could settle July accounts
wheat available for July delivery here
went to soaring 9 cents above yester-
days close and touched Sl.66 a bushel.

Wall Street is talking about a four
