Bullish sentiment prevailed to a high degree In the w(ient trade today, but the northwest and Liverpool refused to follow save In a half-hearted way. The mrengtlr hero Was based' on ex- 1 tremely bullish cables from nerlln, which reported the wheat and potato crops of Germany greatly dlscatlsfai'- tory, the harvest In the black country damaged by rnlna and late gathering feared. Local bulls supported the mar- ket In a liberal manner and took nil the wheat offered. Toronto reported that Ilnur had been so far soltl ahead that mllla are marking up prices for future bualnesa. Private messagea from the northwest Indicate very low temperatures In that section Inst night. The weather Is cloudy and cool all over the country. The world’s available supply of wheat Increased 2,000,000 bushels last week, against 597,000 bush els Increase a year ago. The com market showed a wonder fully broadening tendency, but some realizing on the early bulge caused a moderate reaction. Later values again sold higher, reaching a new level for the crop year. The cool weather throughout the belt and fears of frost were the. principal bullish helps In this cereal. There was little opposition to the marking up of prices In oats, sellers seeing nt this late date the Impossi bility to fill contracts with no oats available. Provlalons joined with grain In the rise. Trade was again largely glng sort, longs selling buying distant futures. WEATHER REPORT. WEATHER CONO.’TICN*.
