12 GRAIN AND PRODUCE Wheat Jumps From Nine to|; Eleven Cents a Bushel on Heavy Cales for Export. YELLOW CORN SELLS AT 97¢ Omaha, October 25, 1916 The result of the heavy export sales of ‘wheat from this country was seen in the local market today when the price of wheat ~Yose trom ¢ to 1lc per bushel. All previous records for high prices on wheat were shattered and the poorest car of wheat sold brought $1.35. The top price of yesterday's market on No. 2 hard wheat was $1.71, and today the same quality of wheat sold around $1.80 and $1.81, while the general run of No, 3 hurd sold at §1.76 + and $1.79, practically a 10c galn over the average price pald yesterday, The. market for durum wheat was not as active as was the hard winter market, but No. 2 durum sold at $1.76, or about Z2c higher than it did yesterday. The car shortage has caused a decrease in the local receipts and the sellers today had no difficulty in disposing of their sam- ples_at record prices long before the close of the cash trading. The corn market was rather quiet on ac- count of light receipts, but the demand, nevertheless, was good, .and yellow corn sold at 97c, a new high mark, A car of No. 3 yellow corn brought 96c, and the bulk of the samples, which graded No. 3 mixed, sold around 95@36%e. The corn market generally wan quoted 1%0 to 23c higher, while oats ruled from 1%¢ to 1¥¢ up. The demand for oats was not very mctive and several samples of this cereal were held over. The bulk of the samples sold at 5lc; the top price for the day was b1%c, while the poorest es brought: from 60%c to h¥e. The demand for cash rye was excellent And the market was 6c to 6c higher. While sales, sold from 6o to 10c ay's market. Liverpool close: Wheat, 1@3d higher; corn, steady to %d higher.
