Wheat.

CHICAGO, May 25.-There was live
ly opening to the wheat market this
morning. The July option opened
from / ] to II lower than it closed yes
terday afternoon, Immediately sinking
another halfcent. July wheat trading
at the start was from 755 to 754, the
price dropping to 75}, but rallying to
764, resting at 76B, under yesterdays
close. The opening feeling of weak.
ness was succeeded by a quick and
totally unexpected up-turn and at
lifted price for July option nearly
five cents in as many minutes,
until 76l was reached. Then came
a wild furry and until 79s was reached
there was hardly time to think. The
pit was flooded with buying orders and
brokers found great difficulty in execut-
ing commissions. Changes in prices
were made in &c jumps, the demand
not being satisfactory until the highest
point was touched. The gain over
yesterdays close was 2sc. The sudden
change in front was said to be due to
predictions of killing frosts for Mime
sofa, the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas
and other western States. After the
strength had reached its maximum
values settled back to about l cent
from the top figures attained.
