New York, May lS.-There was
scene of wild excitement on the curb
at the produce exchange today. The
wheat market closes Saturday at II
o'clock and for an hour after the ex-
change closes traders stand around
and trade in an unofficial way. Us
ually the curb is a tame affair. To-
day 1t was bedlam of noises. Out
siders had been heavy sellers all the
morning, causing quite a decline in
wheat, and closing figures showed a
net loss of about 1-ic. This left the
feeling rather weak and when cold
weather stories struck the market 1t
was unprepared In Is minutes prices
jumped up a cent a bushel, and dur
ing the hour cents, July closing at
70 10, rushing up to rs i-2c on the

Then everybody wanted to sell some

that purchases should be carefully

Nous with tendency toward lower
prices. During that time, however,
prices moved up 1-2c per bushel on

Liverpool ran UP points and there

that market was very active for Satur-
day. Sales 1900 on the spot with

TO some extent. but bought more than
1t sold, a Liverpool dispatch attributes
the advance to an active speculation,
due to Il reported decrease on acreage

altogether favorable. The crop seems
to be backward. Another thing the
late advance in stocks and grain has
had more or less moral effect In cot
