II Move. Up to sI.oo Ia a Bu.hel.


There was "A scene OF excitement ON the
Chicago Board OF Trade when wheat for De-
cember delivery went mp 20 si.09ls.
Early, before the shutters OF the board
had been taken down and the floor had been
swept out, the curbstone trading put the
price OF a bushel OF wheat at 81 .O5ss When
business actually commenced IL opened at
S1.05s4, but before the day was done the
price was sl.09h, which II "A comfortable

{. Ii. Irwin said; 1T was the news from
North Dakota that did IL. Frost II reported
there. AT first blush IL would seem that
frost couldn't do any harm now-in fact,
heard "A man say that he had just been up
there and they were harvesting-but IL
must be remembered that the late planted
wheat is not yet ripe, and that might be
pretty badly hurt"
Never has there been such a season as
this for thirty years, said X. W. Dunham.
There have been short wheat crops,
short potato crops, and all that, but
other has been large But this
year everything that grows out OF the
ground that you can eat is short. We have
"a population, say, OF $1,000, 900 east of the
Rockies. Each person, IL is estimated. con-
sumes four and "a half bushels OF wheat per
annum. That figures out 279.0O0, 900 bushels.
Allow sc. 000. 600 bushels for seeding and we
have 500, 600, 00q bushel as the amount re-
quired. The estimates for this years crop
hardly run over 400. 000. 900 bushels-some
say 39l 900 900. Let's split the difference and
make IL 800. 600, 600. Take out the seed and
we have left 345. 900. Oo0 bushels which
leaves US 100000 for export. Why, that
amount isn't enough for the coastwise trade

Mexico, Nova Scotia and the like. Tell you
what along next spring good wheat will be
as scarce as hens teeth, and may be
scarcer."

NINETY MILLION BUSHELS.
Probable Crop of Wheat in Minnesota and
Dakotas.

Reports from along the lines Of railway In
Minnesota and Dakota from the Northwest
crn Road north: Wheat will yield better
than last year. West from WatertOwn and
west from Iroquois and through the James
River Valley generally the wheat will not
be good "a IL was last year, but the acre
age is increased; and while the wheat is
considerably lighter IL will make strong flour.
In the extreme north the yield will bc as good
a. last year, with increased acreage. In
Southern Minnesota, Dakota. and Northern
Iowa the yield will not be as great as last
year. and the quality will not be as good.
The probable yield OF Minnesota and the
two Dakotas will be over 500, 600 bushels.

DUN's WEEKLY REVIEW.
The Trade Situation Generally Good
Money High.

Money High.
r.. G.. Dun & Co.'S weekly review OF trade
says:
The signs Of monetary disturbance which
were noticed In previous reviews were not
misleading. At Philadelphia money was
tight, at Chicago I'm strong demand, at st.
Louis unusually scarce at 20 per cent,
at New Orleans tightening, at Denver and
st. Paul in good demand, and AT Milwaukee
more active at Z per cent, firm at Kansas
City, and rather tight at Detroit at per
cent. The obvious and only sufficient relief
Is the liquidation OF money speculations In
stocks, in wheat, corn, oats, cotton, leather,
hides, coffee, wool and especially In silver
bullion, which have locked up enormous
sums. In addition the enormous imports,
intended 10 anticipate the pending tariff
bill, have virtually locked up for an indef-
mite time many millions paid for goods and
I'm duties on them. The volume OF legiti-
mate business throughout the country con-
tinucs large, exceeding that OF last year by
ten per cent outside OF New York. and the
desire 20 market products quickly as prices
rise causes greater demand for currency
from the country than usual. During the
last week the Treasury has paid out only
SCI, 900 more than IL has taken In.

The temperature fell To freezing point in

Less than "a per cent. of the normal rain
fall has occurred I'm Kansas. and less than

rains have greatly improved the condition
of crops throughout the corn belt, extend
