Wheat went booming again to-day, and at the
top figure Of the session scored an advance OF
nearly Sc. "a compared with the closing price OF
Saturday. The sentiment OF the trade was ex-
sctiy tho reverse OF that which prevailed last
week. The change was duo 10 higher cables and
bad weather In England and the Hungarian re-
port, showing shortage Of from $4,000, 900
10 l45,0OQ,0O0 bushels In tho worlds wheat
crop and Of 2J5,000,0O0 TO 2S3.0O0.oO0 In the
rye crop, compared with tho average yiold The
session was one full Of excitement and the ner-
vousness displayed by operators bordered on
that shown during the recent rapid advance
when wheat sold up 30 ella. Many operators
went heavily shor. during tho decline OF the lat
tor part OF last week. and at the opening this
morning they were clutchins frantically at the
heated run9s OF the fre-cscape. Among the
scared shorts, II was said, was Partridge. the
big bear, who retired from the pit after making
lOslngs In tho other advance reckoned In seven
figures. New York and ST. Louis were heavy
buyers. December opened excited with any
