ILL., Sept. 17.—This was one of the days when the opening quotations a: Liverpool had some effecc on the start. The traders who bouzht wheat at Liverpool at an advance of 14d percental, as that market was quoted before busi- ness commenced he.e, paid abaut 15d more for it than 1. was selling for at the close .f the day be- fore, December startinz at 9355@93%c. There was some suspicion on the star: tuat the Liver- pool market was being manipulated and this caused & momentary reaction to 93l4c, but the market quickly reacted again to 935gc. For more than an hour the buying induced by the sirength at Liverpool was sufficient to malutain the price at or abtove the opening fizures. The Knglish market kept gaining till its clor, when it reached fiom 34d to 114d improvement for the day. Whiie thatadva ce was in progress the market here though quite duil was firm. but aiter the closing cables were in it began :0 weaken. iverpcol was the on'y forelgn marke. 10 suow rength and advices from there expiained the advance by telling of intense heat and locusts in Ar:entine.
