Show FOREIGN DEMAND IS HELPING WHEAT Buying Orders From France Give Strength to the Chicago Chi-cago Market. CHICAGO. Aug. 4. Buying orders hero from France had much to do today with pushing up tho price of wheat. That country had been purchasing previously, but on tho Pacific coast. Tho close was firm at a net advance of 5c 'to Jc. Latest llgures for corn were ic to He higher than last night; oats were up 1c and provisions provi-sions Irregular, varying from 12Jc loss to a gain of 5c. Conditions for the wheat crop In France and Argentina were reported less favorable, favor-able, and foreign markets generally showed strength. The local speculative element of the larger and more active sort took tho bull side from the outset, and kept persistently on, although throe big houses sold nfbre than 2,000,000 bushels bush-els of long 'wheat. Some attention was given to the Ohio state report, which put the yield there at 21.000.000 bushels, as against 27,000.000 bushels last year. There was also discussion discus-sion of the estimate made by a local crop expert, who figured the total output out-put of the United States at 631.000,000 bushels to 611.000,000 bushels. Fluctuations Fluctua-tions in tho September "option ranged from S1.01S to $1,023. with the close c to Btf?3c up at $1,022(5)1.025. Corn was largely under the Influence of the strength In wheat. High and low points for the Scptomber option proved to be 63c and 623c, with tho close firm at 623c,- a rise of 3c above the price twonty-four twonty-four hours previous. The cash market also was firm. No. 2 yellow closed at G5c. For the September option in oats changes today were bounded by 3GIc and 375c, with the final sales 1c up at 30 37c. Support for provisions was poor. Pork closed unchanged to 75c lower; lard down 75c to 5c up, and ribs at 125c declino to an advance of 2595c. RANGE OF THE LEADING FUTURES. Wheat Open. High. Low.
