New York Wheat.

NEW YORK. March 2S.-Wheat took a
215c jump to-day with suddenness that
surprised old-time traders who have
become accustomed in these dull times
to see slow markets and narrow fiuctua-
tons. The strength was all due to a
new cold wave that Is gathering head
way in the Northwest, and which, COM
ing down upon the unprotected wheat
fields SO soon after the other cold snap,
gave the bears big scare and turned
the wheat pit into the headquarters of
an excited lhrong of brokers.
Shorts were vigorous buyers and COW
cred lot of wheat, but during the day
the bears also sold good deal, figuring
ON the reaction, and thus kept the mar
ket supplied With short interest. The
close was firm, with the feeling very
nervous.
