CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 16.-The transactions
in wheat today we're the largest witnessed In
many weeks, and the excitement at times ran
very high. The course of prices was based
almost solely upon the tenor Of foreign news,
and as the tension did not appear to grow any
more acute as the day advanced, prices fell
back from their highest notch and the market
closed nearly 1c under yesterday. The war
excitement served to increase outside
spectators and at the opening an
unusually large number of buying
erders''were on the floor. The market opened
ga under yesterday, due to the report d
advance in console, but under q strong de
mand prices rallied 1c influenced some
what by reported damage to crops in the
northwest by storm. Buying was also stimu-
lated somewhat by an estimated decrease IN
wheat on passage which amounted In the
aggregate to 2,4t0,00O, making a total de-
crease in available stocks during the week of
3 600, 0C0 bushels. Later in Il g day when an
advance of Lice In consols was reported

carried prices down | Ac and the market closed
on the regular board 4c under yesterday and
declined 4c additional in the afternoon. The
