WHEAT UP TO S6 1-2 CENTS
4 RISE OF TWENTY-TWO CENTS IN
 FIFE WEEKS.

December Future Opens This Morning at
 S5 7-S, a Net Advance of 4 Cents on Sat
 urday's Closing in II ,O45,-
 900 Bushels Up to Noon.
 New York, Oct. 19.-Wheat took an- other bound to-day in it's steady up- ward course, bringing fresh dismay to the hearts of the men who have been preaching to the farmers that the price of their product depended upon the free coinage of silver and not upon natural conditions. When silver goes down wheat goes down." Bryan cries at every wayside station. The situation to-day is this: Silver is lower than 1t has been in three years, and wheat has gone up 2 cents since active trading began five weeks ago.
 The greater part of this rise in wheat has been in the last two weeks and in the opinion of every one who knows anything about the market 1t has been perfectly legitimate and in no way due to manipulation. Tn the words of a utdleI, lIle I1dTkeI IS en- tirely too big for manipulation
 The brokers gathered early about the wheat pit of the produce exchange and when the opening for December wheat was recorded as S57sc babel of shouts arose that would have done credit to the stock exchange in it's widest mo- ments. It was a rise of 414c from Sat- urday's closing, and the brokers seem ed to the uninitiated observers, of whom there were many in the galleries, to have gone suddenly crazy. There was little business done in any other part of the exchange. For the rest of the day the wheat pit was a mass of struggling, excited men who yelled as though their lives depended upon their lung power.
 In the hour and half up to noon the transactions in futures were Il ,045, ,000 bushels, representing gains or losses on the cent rise of roughly $400,000
 It is the universal opinion that the improvement in wheat is a logical se- quence to natural conditions. The crop in the United States this year is fair average" said a prominent dealer this morning. The steady flight of prices upward is due entirely to de- mand from abroad. Tn neither India, Australia, Russia nor the Argentina Republic is the yield this year any where near the average. It is particu- larly bad in India and Argentina. The United Kingdom must get from us the difference. Wheat will keep on going up It is as utter nonsense to talk of manipulatiOn as if is to attribute the price of wheat to the crime of '73 ]"

FURIOUS OPENING AT CHICAGO
Commission Men Make Every Effort to
 Protect Themselves.

Commission Men Make Every Effort to
 Protect Themselves.
 Chicago, Oct 19.--A further sensa- tional advance of cents took place in the price of wheat this morning. De- cember the active speculative future closed on Saturday at 75s, but on the curb it was quoted at 7s1a. Before the regular opening this morning 79A was the ruling unofficial quotation, and when trading on the regular board be- gan transactions ranged from 781s to 791s
 The opening was a furious one, but trading soon settled into a more quiet form, the advance being accepted rath- CT as a matter of course and as being justified by the prevailing conditions of supplies and requirements the world over. Liverpool London, Berlin and Paris all quoted an extraordinary rise in price, and as the foreigners seem to control the situation, this market sim- ply coincided with their action.
 The big receipts of corn have blocked the Burlington and the Rock Island, the former having over HOO cars on it's tracks that the elevators cannot un- load, and the Rock Island several hun- dred cars. The movement promises to continue heavy, and the railroads are short of the cars and are making every effort to get the cars to the elevators to be unloaded. They cannot all be un- loaded for more than week.
 P. D. Armour says: T think that the recent advances in grain have only in- creased the majorities in those western states of which MT. Mckinley was sure ebfore He will carry Illinois by 2G0,- 900. Why, his majorities will be sim ply overwhelming. This, however, is not news to anybody who lives in Chi cago We all feel it and know it, and have known it for some time"
 Michael Cudahy, the pork packer, said: "McKinley's chances have been very materially helped by the advance in farm products"
 John Dupee of Schwartz, Dupee & Co.,, said: T think the recent general advance in the grain market insures the election of the sound money candi- date, if it were not already assured. It will also have beneficial effect all along the line of general business. The farmer will be able to buy more goods for his home requirements, and this in- creased demand will be felt all along the line by country merchants, jobbers and manufacturers. As far as the inn provement in railroad business is con- cerned, the granger roads now have all the eastbound business that they can handle. As soon as we elect a. sound money man they will also have a large increase in the westbound freight, and this will, of course, swell their aggregate earnings"
