advanced to 1S7@so. the markets tor produce became
greatly excited and prices advanced beyond ai eI-
peetatiors AZ eoon the hour of meeting On
Change was reached. the Board OF Trade rooms

hours. the excitement continued. As each dispatch
from Wall street was recelred prices rose OF fe
cording the character OF the news, times
temporary psntcs occurred. during which, tld spec
ulators threw their tocss on the msrSet, regardless
Of the price which they bought. Towards the close
az gold began to show a steady downward tendency

mission houses are loaded down with orders from all
