NEW YORK, April ll.-There was great
excitement in wheat to-day. BY
o'clock IL was extraordinary. The bust.
ness amounted to 10000 900 bushels in
options. The traders were feverish.
All were anxious to cover their con.
tracts, while outside speculators were
attracted by the possibility of big
profits in rapid changes in prices. In
Wall street tho Western and foreign
houses took up large blocks Of May,
June and July wheat Options arc
held at radical advance in prices,
while December options have jumped
up p. per cent. as a covering for the
new crop.
The whole position is simply affected
by the government crop report. Its
estimate Is much under the calculations
of the most extreme bulls. Heavy mar.
gins are being called for, but there is no
sign of any trouble in financial way.
