futures. The only new feature. and one which
caused the principal bulge and tO-day's excite
ment, was the rumors of frost in the far North
west and also in the northern part of Dakota.
some reports claimed damaging frosts, others
very light and not enough to harm. Some par
ties were quite skeptical about these reports
and thought they might have been sent in to
influence the market. Nevertheless the mar
ket was in such condition to be easily influ-
enced and the feeling was strong.
The signal service reported the thermometer
80 at st. Vincent and 400 at Bismarck. While
nothing definite has been ascertained in regard
to dealing if any, the short interest became
greatly alarmed and covered freely. The mar
ket opened 74@1Sc higher than yesterdays
closing and further advanced 2ssc for Septem.

closed about 11sc higher for September and

Corn-There was a good trade at higher
prices. A firm feeling prevailed, due largely
TO the advance in wheat and to bad crop re-
ports, local expert estimating the crop very
much below an average. First sales were 10
