wild animals, while constant and deaf
ening roar, out OF which no Ineligible
sound could be picked, rose to the lofty
ceiling.
What Monday will bring forth is o
matter OF grave concern to many. The
bulls are still talking of higher wheat
and the bears are not saying much.
One remarkable thing is that there
have beon no failures. Everybody got
through the clearing house all right on
Fridays business, but it is not unlikely
that as result of to-day's wild work
some unlucky dealers may ''go iaoke."
Still there was not even rumor on the
Board at the close Of trading of a pros
pective failure on the part of
any individual or firm. One
prominent wheat broker said this
evening: Il cannot pretend to predict
what the future will bring forth. There
are only 1000, 900 bushels in store here,
but the past few days dealings have
spread over the three lines from 7,000,-
600 to 100000 bushels. The big sell
ing is being done by foreign representa-
tives at New York and they appear
to be ready to take every bushel that is
offered.
"Yes, it would look as II the bulls
were doing 1t all; but can tell you very
few bears are standing out, aud the
bulls are fooled about as much as the
bears. think this furry is due entire
ly to the condition OF affair abroad.
However, ten days ago we laughed at
our New York agent who sent US tele-
grams intimating as much. His opinion
has been fully verified"

STORY OF THE DEAL.
How Wheat Raised and What the People
In the Pit Did.

CHICAGO, August 15.-Wheat is in
deed booming, as well as the crops OF
this country, with prospective shortage
in all Europe. December, which reach
ed S1.OS on the regular Board to-day.
sold this afternoon on the curb at S1.1O.
Later on calls were quoted at S1.14 and
sold as high as S1.1S. OF course these
are not market figures but they serve to
show the frame Of mind the traders are
in after this exciting week. 1t was
thought by brokers on the Board OF
Trade that Friday was busy day, but
before to-day's session was over the pre-
ceeding one Lad sunk into fnsignih-
cance.
1t was one Of the widest days ever
known on the floor. Such jumps In
figures as were witnessed had not been
seen since Hutchinson's famous Sep
tember corner in 1888. 1t was only for
short time that the price maintained
itself at los. The bears soon rallied,
and with mighty onslaught brought
the price down to 105. They could not
hold 1t there, however, and when the
session closed at - o'clock the figures
stood at 1861 When the gong an
nouncing the opening Of the days bus
mess rang out mighty yell went up.
1t was impossible for some time to
tell what the price OF wheat
really was, for there was half dozen
different prices yelled out in different
portions of the pit, ranging from
81 Obs to 81 0sI. After time the
excitement settled down little. The
traders began to realize where they
stood, and that the real price was about
81 0215. For couple of minutes busi-
ness was done on an enormous scale, ana
the bears made frantic efforts TO push
the figures down. They could not do so.
European buyers at New York began
coming in strongly, the bulls rallied
with a whoop, and then came the Wild
est market scene in years. Wheat went
up and down in big leaps, going TO
81 031S, and from that point TO 81 05
almost in one bound.
Now the climax has come shouted
gang OF red faced bears; "And we VIII
simply knock the stutfing out OF
things" At 1t they went with batter
ing rams. However, the climax had
not come and the battering rams did no
good. Momentarily the price retreated,
but then like balloon 1t leaped to
S1.051z. S1.06, S1.0615, s1.o7, sl.O71s;
finally reached s1.0s, within half an
hour. All sorts of stories were flying
about. A. large number OF traders
talked about the shortage in Europe
and many Others asserted their belief
that "Jim" Keene. of New York. was
responsible. That he was taking re-
venge for that experience in 1878, when
his little flyer on the Chicago board OF
tradecost him sevrral millions OF dol
lars.
Some said that Keene, Phillip Armour
and B. P. Hutchinson were responsible
and Others that Keene was backed by q
powerful syndicate Of New York capi-
talists and that Hutchinson Is one OF
the leaders. There is nothing reliable
about any of th5se rumors.
