CHICAGO. May 2O-A wilder clamor and OK

visions than was witnessed to-day on Change
could scarcely be imagine1 in starving Russia.
Short sellers, big and little were in a panic.
The price Of May corn shot up &c and closed
within 1c of the top. July option gained $3.50,
wheat is up 23sc and pork, lard and ribs are re-
spectively 6Oc, I5c and 1715c higher. The biz
zsrd following the disastrous rain floods for
was asitated from the best start. and and
an immense volume Of business was trans
acted T opening found the crowd anxious
and offerings light. Partridge was heavily
short in July and rushed brokers from half
dozen houses into the pit to get his corn back.
The trade had none to sell to meet so great
demand Small shorts, too, were scrambling
for corn. Every message on the floor was dis
couraRinR. May price held at 5514c at the start,
went to SIC and on to SIC as soon as the bidding
began, and sellers held it at Coo June was
quoted at 46h47l5c, and sellers offered it at 49c
on an early bulge So July was at 45o TO 451Sc at
the start, went to 4611c. back to 46c and then
jumped to 4734c before II O'Clock. For an hour
there was a let-up in the panicky feeling, and
July dropped back to 1880 Partridge later
tried to buy and the price jumped to 4716cin

anew. aud May sold quite freely at 6Oc, jumped
to Gle and went ON to 62c before o'clock. June
quoted at 494c at the same time while

existed, and outside parties bought freely.
Short interest covered freely and felt rather
uneasy at the situation. There was no great
quantity of wheat offered, though on the diff
ferent ''bulges" some realizing followed. The
was carried on in oats, the market being greatly
stimulated by the strength of corn, and closing
l1s0I19c higher. The provision trade caught
the bull fever from the grain pits. The great

ing price was 10c over last night. in sympathy
with corn. This was the key to the situation;
