buying advanced wheat prices today,
largely owing to reports of black rust
damage in winter wheat. Word was
also at hand of traces of black rust
in North Dakota spring wheat, the
earliest appearance in ten years, con-
sidering the growth of the pant.
Closing quotations of wheat were
firm, 1%c net higher with corn 21sc
to Sc up, oats unchanged to Ac ad-
vance, and provisions varying from 7c
decline to a rise of II to zoe.
Black rust in the red rust stage was
reported late today from Grand Forks,
N. D., as showing in nearly all ad-
vanced fields of spring wheat. Chief
bullish inspiration for wheat traders,
though came from the southwest,
where reports of disappointing yields
