Grain and Provisions. CHICAGO. Oct. 24. Possibility of war between Great Britain and Russia had considerable lnfluenco In causing a strong wheat market here today.

The anxiety of shorts was due to a variety vari-ety of reasons, In addition to tho continued con-tinued bullishness of the cash situation and posKfblo world-wldo complications resulting re-sulting from tho Russian Baltic fleet Incident Inci-dent Important foalures were decreases both In Northwestern receipts and In the world's .shipments. The fact that foreign grain markets ,showcd gains had considerable consid-erable effect dn the market here.

Realizing sales checked tho advance ad-vance and loaded tho market with rough wheat to cause a temporary loss of the greater part of the early Improvement The market soon .recovered from the sot-back, sot-back, however, as a result of active support sup-port from a leader of tho bull orowd. A sharp advance In prices at Minneapolis Minne-apolis also contributed strength to the situation here.
