NEW YORK.
New York. April 19.-The announcement:
tina; war had been declared between Greece
ana Turkey set the wheat market Wild this
morning. On the heels OF Saturdays &c
rice in prices came smother jump OF &c.
May opened all the way from sei.c 20 S5l.c.
so intense was the excitement prevailing
at the outset Fer an hour. the market
was In a furore. with values nuctuat!rg SO
wildly that Il was next TO impossible TO
follow their course. May reached STsc on
one OF its Wild epurts. which proved 70 be
the high water mark for the day. Sud
denly foreign houses local traders out
siders. and everybody who had clamored
10 buy wheat at the opening turned sellers.
Large profits were represented on most OF
the wheat thrown over. and by midday the
unloading process was in fun swing. with
prices going down hill as fast as they had
assembled. May tumbled TO s07sc, before the
selling movement could be checked. From
this point there was later rise TO s2@.c
followed by a setback 20 Size. and subse-
quent rally, the close being extremely ner-
vous. At ,fbest point today MAY was
i2Nc above the bottom and &C higher
than the clos.ng Thursday. Foreign mar
kets were ali closed today, which account
ed in a measure for the abundance OF the
European orders in the market. Lack or
export demand and private cables express
ing the belief that he war would be con-
fned 70 Greece and Turkey were influences
IN the late session.
