Show PRICES OF HIT Gill UPLIFT Decreasing Stocks in Liver-poo! Liver-poo! and Here Is Cause of Increase. CHICAGO, Sept. 18. Decreasing stocks In Liverpool and at the big primary markets mar-kets on this side of the Atlantic tended to lift the price ot wheat today, The market closed strong, l'c to 1 e net higher, with December at S1.4S V. 1 . 4 S and May at S1.49V. Corn finished ic to ic up and oats with a gain of a shade to VicJi Sgc. In provisions, the outcome varied from a 55c decline to a rise of 12ct Strength displayed Itself most plainly in wheat at the opening and the close. During Dur-ing part of the interval between these two points an increase in th,e -United States visible supply total led to ratjaer ; free selling and to a consequent bearish , reaction, but analysis showed that tlie j enlargement of the supply was chiefly at ' the seaboard and at Buffalo. This fact caused sellers to change front, and was a decided factor in bringing about the final bulge in the market. Announcement Announce-ment that 600,000 bushels had been disposed dis-posed of for export helped also to encourage en-courage holders late in the session. Reports that much wheat on track at Kansas City and Omaha had not met with ready sale brought out assertions that tlie sole reason was a disposition on the part of owners to wait for better prices. In this connection It was pointed out that world shipments were smaller and that the trade seemed more willing than on Saturday to attach importance to the news of Rumanian defeats at the hands of General Gen-eral von Mackensen. Besides, official estimates esti-mates of the Canad ia n crop were lower than any private figures which had ao far appeared. Frost damage reports from Illinois and from western Indiana and northern Illinois Illi-nois hod a bullish effect on corn. Ten to 15 per cent of tlie late corn in tlie district dis-trict mentioned was said to have been injured. Oats gained In value with other cereals. Trading, though, was light. Most of the provision transactions were in laid. Packers were said to have taken the September and October options against export sales. RAKGB OF THB LEADING FUTURES. Open. Hlgb- Low. Close.
