AS MILLERS BUY

Point Since July 81 in
Sudden Upturn.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, September 22.-Highest
prices which the December delivery
Of wheat have touched since July 81
were reached on sudden new upward
swing today of the market here. The
immediate reason was announcement
that milling interests had turned ac-
lively to the buying side. 1t was
further noted that arrivals of wheat
at Minneapolis and Duluth were con-
tinuing to fall off Notwithstanding re-
cent predictions Of an increase at end
of this week.
Receipts of wheat today at Minne-
apolis and Duluth totaled only 1854
cars, against 1859 cars a week back
and 1906 cars year ago. With such
apparent confirmation that farmers
were holding off for higher prices the
market here scored decided advance
after an earlier decline. On this rise
the market showed a bulge of 6 cents
bushel from yesterdays bottom level.
Many spectators who sold early were
good buyers on the way UP.
