Show WHEAT PRICES RISE I ! NEARLY FIVE CENTS j . U Chicago, Aug. 4. Wheat dealers to- j day ignored Canadian official denials i of black rust in Saskatchewan and instead in-stead gave renewed attention to re- i ports from trade sources that the pest covered a greater extent of the : province than had heretofore been j believed. Advices also were worso t I as to the crop in Manitoba. The re- 1 j suit was a sharp advance In prices ; ;, to the highest level yet this season. j i Nearly five cents a bushel was add- j ed to the value of wheat, the Sep- j tember delivery touching $1.34 3-4- as i against $1.29 7-8 at yesterday's finish. Today's close was strong at nearly ! the topmost point of the season. |
