There was q frenzy ofexeitement IN trading
ON Change to-day, occasioned BY disturb
ipp war rumors from England and Russia
The wheat market had been pointing up
ward for several days on home influences, IN
view of the bad outlook for the grain crop,
hut the report of clash Of arms between
Russian and Afghan outposts becloudea
sl ordinary infueRces and traders found a,
the opening this morning that wheat valued
SC higher than at the close last night. Bus
tie and commotion, occasioned by the new
order of things, made itself felt not only IN
The Exchange building, but extended to La
Sale and Washington streets. AT the offices
of brokers, early in the day, excited groups
had gathered 10 discuss the unexpected re,
CENT of war news, and the market on curb
was Sc higher for wheat than at the
close last night. The grand scene OF tur,
MOL and confusion, however, was reserved
for the floor of the Exchange. Heavy
traders, who are rarely seen on the floor,
were present in force long before the bell
sounded, and were as thick in the frey as
any of the young traders and brokers when
the market opened. There was q hurried
| running to cover by shorts" but many oil
the 'lOng" traders were willing to take
profits in sigh, and there was a tree eX:
| change of opinions, which is well evidenced
by the fact that although the wheat market
| closed SIC over the close last night, no fail
| ures were reported. The buying orders
| from outside were very numerous, n wnile
there were evidences during the session OF
heavy loads of wheat being thrown over
board the general situation remained strong
| enough to sustain the market we'll up to the
best figures of the day. The appreciation
| of wbeat nm the regular board was 44c over
| the closing of yesterday, and on the after,
noon board there was another advance OF
&c. Wheat was wildly excited during the
| entire session. The opening sales were sig
&c over Yesterdays close, the market reced'
| ing lie from the best figures, but roseagsln
and closed 43c higher than Yesterday.
