Especial notice was taken of the fact that the condition of the is the lowest since 1911 heavy losses of probable yield are forecast in the states of largest production, Iowa and Illinois. Selling broadened out on the bulges in price, but the offerings were quickly absorbed. Opening quota- tions which ranged from 1% to 2%c higher, December $1.04% to $1.05, were followed by an irregular ad- vance of more than three cents a bushel in some cases. Cash buyers refused to the advance, and succeeded in forcing a reaction later. The close was nervous, cc to 2% net high- er, December $1.04% to 1.05. Wheat. at first tended downward in price, being affected by a decline in Liverpool quotations and by a slightly bearish construction placed on the United States government crop report as to wheat. Export business together with strength in the corn market, however, led soon to substantial gains. After opening unohanged to 1c lower, September, $1.28% to $1.29 and December, $1.82% to $1.33, wheat rose all around to well above yesterday's finish.
