July Hi cents higher.
Tho market ruled Irregular throughout

ot whfch 700,000 bushels wero to ex
porters. Onts sales wcro 100,000 bushels,
with CO.000 bUBhcls for export. Hog prod

A prominent Chicago grain firm has re
ceived n cable from Pome, asking for

including 10,000,000 bushels of No. 2 hnrd
winter wheat for shipment within -10
days, and 6,000,000 bushels of N'o. 2 spring
wheat for April-May shipment. This
ordor comes from a country which would
dlrootly benefit by tho opening of tho
Dardanelles. It cannot bo filled because
It cannot bo secured.
Tho prlco ot wheat In Northampton,
Eng., fell one shilling to 2U shillings to
day, as a result of tho success of tho
Allies attacking tho Turkish forts nt
tho Dardanelles,
