morning one passing the Produce Ex-
change would have supposed there was
veritable bear garden inside, or that
genuine bull-fght was in progress,
from the howling and shouting and
bedlam in the wheat corner over the
sudden and wide fluctuations in that
market here and at Chicago. Up
this market followed like the tail Of
kite sc as the string at Chicago was let
out. Then down it came 13c as sud
denly as the string was pulled in or
breaking; leaving the bulls almost in a
panic, but before they could climb over
each other to sell out, up she rose again
and gave them courage to hold on till
the first call, after which the clique
steadied IL up 7c from the bottom.
After the call there was another pow
wow up stairs, and it took an active
man and boy to keep track of the
changes in the market. 1t is conceded
by the best posted grain dealers here
that, allowing for short crops every
where, the result Of the August corner
in Chicago will be the highest price on
the crop August 31st.
