WHEAT STRONG AND i SESSION Aside From Weakness at Open ing Bulls Had All the Bet ter of Argument Wheat was up from practically the' opening yesterday, although a - wavering tendency was apparent on first call. The close was strong. The stock market was nervous, but fluctuations were not very wide and the market trend was higher. What the Brokers Say M. Doran & Co.'s Chicago grain letter: Wheat For just a moment at the open ing wheat acted a little weak, but' there ' was no pressure to sell. ' The demand which came chiefly from local operators, was active. The market advanced quick ly and has been strong all day. It has looked as though selling by Armour & Co. prevented even further, advance than we had. Sentiment on the floor is very.bull ish, the general opinion being that wheat will sell a great deal higher. The news from the Northwest has been a most im portant influence. Threshing returns show yields as low as have been predicted by anyone. Mesides the messages from people who should be well posted say late wheat has suffered material damage dur ing the past ten days. "Advices from-Mis souri say the yield is turning out less than was expected. Receipts of wheat in the Northwest are light. This perhaps should be expected, as the farmer is as big a bull this year as anyone and is able to keep his wheat if so inclined. Receipts today were unexpectedly large here, 465 cars, 382 of which came in over the Santa Fe. Estimated receipts - tomorrow, > 101 cars.' /A c want- to again call your atten tion tf> small difference in . price between December and May, only about 2>4c and to recommend your selling December and buying May. We expect a wider differ ence later. Corn—Speculative purchases by the peo ple who have been the largest buyers for the ' past week continued today. Their buying was on a large scale. This buying is undoubtedly based on advices that the corn crop is late and it will require per haps thirty days to mature it in good shape and that even with good weather the yield will be very much smaller than has been expected. Our own advices are not of this character except that we knew- that in sections of this state and lowa and Nebraska they need two or three weeks of good weather. The cash mar ket is dull and easy in tone. We are above an export basis. Liverpool closed H*S"V4d higher. Estimated receipts to morrow 659 cars. Oats have been dull, with prices frac tionally higher than yesterday, due more to strength in com and wheat than any thing else. Speculative interests: in mar ket at present is light. The rapid increase in supplies has checked buying. We don't, however, look for much decline in prices. Estimated receipts 175 cars. Provisions have been dull. For two or three days it has looked as if some of toe packers were selling ribs and that to day they changed their plan and bought some October ribs. There continues to be a.- excellent domestic cash demand for all kinds of meats and steady demands for lard from abroad. Estimated receipts of hogs tomorrow. 13,000. •J. C. Geraghty & Co.'s New York stock advices: •-.* - L°gan & Bryan—The market :versV little. It indicates to us that the great increase i n activity .- has been brought about by an increase in outside interests and outside- buying. This demand -has been supplied by the holders who held their stocks through the dullness -and through the advance to this point. The market has reached a condition and a point in our judgment where reactions are likely. Heretofore .there * have ■ been none. General conditions are, however, otherwise without material change? The government report on Saturday, while it is. said to show a considerable impair ment in the Northwest wheat conditions, is likely to, show a pretty fair condition on corn and cotton... The banks are also likely to lose. money in the near future They have plenty of money to lose and that process is not likely to disturb confi dence. Think we would still buy stocks, but.we. • would wait for breaks ;to buy them on. . Mclntsre & Co.— developments -in the market today were a repetition of yesterday's events. That is to say' there was a continuance of heavy pool liquida tion, but this- process-was conducted* in such a manner as not to interfere with the: stability, of the general market. The market was subjected to a further se vere test by" these operations - today, but it took the. stocks very well. There -is good reason to believe that the bull move ment-will be resumed again on an aggres- scale. Dick -Market today scored a re covery' from - yesterday's reaction and further advances were made * all through the list. . A few . leading .. stocks were rather heavy, but sharp advances ' were made by Reading. Steels, Southern Rail way. Chesapeake & Ohio- and numerous specialties. There was aggressive buying by bullish operators first in one stock "and then another. The market closed irregu lar, but generally strong. 'O'Connor & Van Bergen's ■ correspond ents says: fifsaim^ii^mf^fmma^^i^^ .Reported cold weather in corn belt and the advance in the ■ commodity markets lias-been the principal influence tending to restrain any overbullish activity in to day's market. There has.also been quite extensive profit taking, as a result, and also on .the idea even, a moderate reac tion is about-. in - order. The •* absorptive . power of the market is . again one of.- its most significant features, |as was : the case yesterday, and forcibly calls atention to the fact the ."powers controlling this up ward movement are looking further ahead than such, temporary adverse influences as above noted, especially when these ad vices have not been 7 publicly verified. There has; been.'some very good invest ment .buying - reported ?in . such . stocks as Jersey Central, - Lackawanna? and also . a quiet absorption of Pennsylvania. .... Yesterday's ,: closing heaviness brought stocks - into market - this - morning ■- and speculation rf or. the rise was - quickly *> re sumed , with - the lower priced^ stocks-"? th. favorites, ; and : later - marked ~ advances • in anthracite '- stocks; for..

The favorites - for the = advance .were picked from | the railroad-list-* against yesterday's preference I for the industrials, and especially the steel stocks. The news of the day was not unfavorable to values, but it was of a -general character and. did not 7 account ; : for - ? the '■ disproportionate strength of special stocks.

The " report-: d placing of a larger order by the Jap anese ? government for steel plates was also a favorable influence.
