There was a raft of wheat for sale to-day at the opentng by holders who were willing to get out and walch the ball go round. December opened at $1617%: the next sale was at $1 6133: two or three more sales, and $1 60 was the ruling price. Then it went down to $159 amid the roar of brokers who were trying to unlogd their cus- tomers’ long wheat; $159 seemed t0o high and another snot was taken at the moon. 'l histime $1 5835 was reached. This price found buying orders and a quick rally to $1593 was made. Then Chicago showed an sdvance of 2 cents. The crowd thought that $16) was not too high. Others fizured the situation differently and shot the crowd full of wheat as th_ ca leradjourned the session. December wheat was selling at §1 5914 December barley, 97 54@98c. 10:15 A. M. SESSTON. There was less turmoil during this session. <ho rt_, not forgetting how easily wheat had ad- vanced® in the past, were disposed to await de- velopmeats from the FEast.

Chicago. To-day's wheat market was such that always follows & big advance. Every holaer wanted to see the color of his profits. Yesterday's small decline started longs to thinking. Py the time morning came their minds were made up to sell, and sell they did. « ommission houses with coun- try clients were heavy s llers throughout the day. The local crowd sized the situation early u d hammered wheat prices to their hearts' content. The execution of Orders was the hurdest of any duy since the buige began. At times it was im- possible to irade in September wheat unless at wide commi-sions. The big piayers gave thelr _atention more to Decemuer September. Certaln _brokers. not fore identified with the cique crowd, wers strong bu_ers of what around 92¢ for September and 903,c for December.
