V5 Omaha Futures. Omaha, Oct. 27, 1916 The strong cash situation and the heavy buying by exporters caused another sharp rise In the wheat futures. Rains in Argen- tina were reported, but the opinion of the trade seemed to be that In the distriots where the rain has fallen, the crops have been damaged to such an extent that the raln was of no value. The opening prices of wheat were strong and steady advances were made In all op- tions, the December selling up to $1.80% and the May to $1.80%. Intorest in the pit today was very lively, eapecially at the opening, but the bulk of the trade was confined to May and Decem- ber wheat, the trades in corn generally being hedging orders. The oats market was led by the action of ‘wheat, but corn, while it advanced slight- ly at the opening, was not so much in- olined to follow wheat ss did the oats mar- ot. Local range of optlons Art.

Chieago, Oct. 27.—In a_surprising burst of strength today the wheat market ex- celled ull recent high-price records. Tradere were largely Influenced by assertions that exporters and forelgn goverments had ob- tained ownership of the bulk of deliveries here until January 1. Prices closed buoyant at the topmost point of the session, Decem- ber at $1.86 to $1.86%, and May at $1.84 to $1.84%, with the market as a whole 30 4 67 above yesterday's finish. Other net galns were: Corn, 1%c o 1%e; oats, 1h4c to 1%e, and active dellveries of pro- vislons, 10 to 67c. RIght for the outset the fact was evi- dent that wheat values were again headed for the zenlth. The chief impetus to buy catme at first from news that rains yes- terday (n Argentina, Instead of breaking the general drouth, had been only slight, and that the mofsture in north Argentina was ontiroly too late to remedy the damage to the crop. Continued stormy. weather fn Canadn, whera threshing has been virtually at a standstill, tended further to stimulata demand. On the qther hatd. offerings proved unusually scarc and the bears were farther handicapped later by & declded Jump In quotations at Buenos Alres. It not, hgwever, until attention was directed to the chanco of an extraordinary squeeze iIn the December option that prices shot upward, wpparently unchecked. Roports of u sharp naval encounter in the English channel secemed at one time likely to put a stop to the upward swing f prices, but the effect on the market proved to be merely transient. When the closing gong cleared the pit the ascent was still in progress and in somo cases showed at the last & fump of 8%e from the low polnt of yesterday. All records fn nearly fifty years ‘for high prices of corn were smashed today, No. 3 yellow selling here at $1.10 a bushel. This price has not been surpassed sincs 1867, when the apex was $1.12. The strength of wheat was mainly responsible for the upturn in corn, but there also was a falling off in country offerings. Oats moved up with other cereals, although shipments east are restricted by the inability of rallroads to turnish cars. Provisions mounted to a higher level than has besn equaled as far back as 1870 Packing interests were active buyers, and there was & notable scarcity of offerings, especially of lard.
