So promising however, is the cutiuok that the resumption of sheep shipments is .talked about.

Previoua D'.onibrr, Minneapolis 60T4-61 msi December, PhJ.-ago 63^-7^ %£ December, Duluth 61 ?J 60% December, New York 70 69^ CHICAGO, Oct. 10—The reappearance of war news from abroad today, together with heavy acceptances at the seaboard, caused a sharp rally in wheat. December closed 1@ l%c higher. Corn gained %c. Oats advanced %©%c. Pork left off unchanged to 2^c hieh -2i r: > uJ uurhau ßtd and ribs unchanged to Liverpool wheat auotntions before busi ness started here sht.wcd an advance of UL ©l^d over last night's close, on fears as to the controversy with France over the Xllo territory. That advanced value* here sharply at the opening, and the traders were stim i in-o unusual activity. Additional im petus was given the market by the fact that snipments from Russia last week showed a tailing off of seme 600.W0 bu, as compared with those of the preceding week, and be cause of heavy cable acceptances of wheat offers mada o\cr Sunday by exporters. To further Md to the discomfort of those who wrnt short from la.->t week, there were "pointer*" in circulation that the go\eni ni(nt crop report would raake a Aery bullish showing in wheat. The combination was BuflicitMit to eaapc a genera; covering of shcrfs of every sort. Meanwhile the early bearish Hews was entirely disregarded. Th© Michi- San authorities estimated the total yield of that state as the largest ever grown there. Nr.v South Wales placed her exportable sur plus greater than usually reported for all of Australia, aid later there were reports that the foreigners were reselling wheat on account of the sharp advance in prices. In coi sequence of this, the market did pot fuily maintain Its early figure; nevertheless, tho trade was not disposed to hammer prices, ns the liberal rains in the Northwest promised to cut off receipts to some extent. Another factor that discouraged any heavy se'.ling was the visible supply only showed an increase of 947,000 bu, where an increase of 1.600,000 ha,d been expected. Chicago received 497 cars, against 305 last year, and Minneapolis and Duluth receipts were 1,502 cars, compared with 2,448 last week and 1.470 a year ago. i Primary market receipts were 2,151,000 DU, against 2,847,000 bu the previous year. Re ports from the seaboard that the export engagements aggregated 105 boatloads and the sale of 900,000 bu No. 2 spring and No. » hard wi-iHr wheat here for Liverpool caused n very strong tone during the closing hour. December opened 7 *C«lV»c higher at 63%© 63"i(C, rose to 04, sold off to es^^ea^e, then recovered to 63*i£i.i;3%c at the close. Corn started strong, with wheat, but there was considerable opposition from the re- I ceivers, who sold with some freedom. The i good rains in seme portions of the corn belt were rel'ed upon to cut down the receipts : and elevator interests generally, bought on the belief that the government report would be a bullish document. The volume of busf ners was ahead of any recent day, and as the market opened away above caMs. there was a natural desire on the part of the sellers \of these privile-ges to stop losses. Decem ber started \»(ff%c higher at 29%050c, de , clincd to 29% c and advanced to 29% c, buyort, • at the close. Oats followed corn. The advance in lake freights has shut off a'l demand from the East. Recoil's wore 687 cars. May began KGi^e up at 22%<523c. Sod to 22% c, then improved to 22~A i <3-2Zc, the closing figure. The strength in grains, together with a | light run of hogs, at higher prices. Yellow fryer rumors caused a very unsettled fcel | ing, and the advance was seized upon by leading packers to sell. The demand was not broad enough to absorb the offerings and values quickly fell off. Scalping shorts, who rather overdid the selling after they diFCOv i end the source of the heavy liquidation early 1 ran un the prices at the close in an attempt to cover. Their purchases brought the market up to very near the opening figures. January pork opened s@7^c higher at" $8.90. declined to $8.75 and rallitd to $8.80 at the j close. January lard soA off to $4.75 and recovered to $4. 50, the closing fl.cure.
