Another Big Boom in the Price of Wheat
Yesterday.


New York, August 18.-High water
mark for the season was reached IN the
wheat market today, not only on vaiues'
but as to the volume of.transactlons as
well. Prices advanced Ia to Genus
for the day and sales reached the Dig
total of 16,315O 600 bushels. Excitement
prevailed in the market from starr 10
finish, but particularly in the last hour
when the advance became SO rapid that
frequently fluctuations were marked py
ID ct. fractions. All of the operators VINO
mad been fighting the advance all DAY
were among the foremost buyers in the
afternoon. The phenomenal character OF
the upward movement and scarcity OF
wheat for sale fairly staggered them. The
demand was particularly active IN tne
december operation which from as
count OF 10 3-S under September az tne
start, narrowed the difference to 80 Gus.
at the close. The total range on Septem-
pc per was from 81 IA to "a 5-S cts, against
% 5-o cents, the lowest price OF yesterday
and w Ia, the previous top notch Tor the
season. The advance today began with
sensational rise in Liverpool quotations.
This was followed by rumors OF . Dig
jump In curb prices at Paris, that mar
ket being closed on account of a holiday.
On top of these factors was a big demand
from foreign houses, reports of last nights
offers to the other side had been accept
ed. including three cargoes from France.
Spring wheat, new sale, brought into
buying orders. it being considered very
bullish by the trades here, as the weather
is too cold and wet in many sections Tor

ket closed a net advance of 1 4 5
cents on wheat.
