There were also | rumors, later denied, that 500,000 bushels of Omaha wheat had been sold for export.

A | | New York report denied that the| wheat sold Monday was for export, saying that it was bought for invest: ment. The market opened at $1.15%5 and sold down to $1.1454 and then rising almost 4 cents under active trading of the shorts, who were in a rush to cover, and closing at the high point, $1.18%. The Omaha receipts for the day were 277 cars. Corn held up well in spite of very | favorable reports from Nebraska, | Towa and parts of Illinois.
