WAE EXCITEMENT AND SPECULATION IN
THE GRAIN TRADE Chicago, October. 1S.-
There was intense excitement on 'Change
for portions of the day, and anxiety to
learn the war news from the East increased
continually until the close. November
wheat advanced from 11l5, at which it
closed last, to III, with very little reaction,
but from that point it receded quickly to
114l, and tiuctuated violently until the
close, when it was strong. " -,.a..... a..
Rainey & ingalls,, one OF the oldest houses
in the grain business, who have always
done 4 large Canadian business, failed to-
day. Their liabilities are not yet known.
The business transactions have been the
heaviest for long time, perhaps since the
Franeo-P russian war. rt..>a =
1t is stated by good judges that the trans
actions for November option alone were
twenty million bushels cash. Wheat is at
present held in strong hands, and is viz
tually cornered here, though prices MAIN
tain their proportion. The Developments
OF the coming week are anxiously awaited.

instantly killed by an intoxicated man
named Fred. We1rick, formerly clerk in

that the two men were most intimate friends,

drilling with an old musket, which neither
supposed to be loaded, when it went off and
inflicted the fatal wound. -
