New York, Aug. PA dispatch to the
World from London says great excitement
prevailed on the London, Liverpool and
Glasgow corn exchanges yer the sen
sai:5onal advances in the price of wheat.
A World representative spent some time
on the London exchange and talked With
several authorities. oscar Fritch, mama
ger of the firm of Ralli Bros, said:
This big and sudden rise has taken US
completely by surprise over here. l don
consider 1t IS justified by circumstances.
AT the same time, our market IS firmer
than ever and the price will hold for
SONS time. apparently.
1T is due. IN my opinion, to various
causes. one being the big bear account

themselves. | would not venture to give
a definite opinion on the prospect of

Mr.. Wood, of the leading firm of w. P.
Wood &c Co, of The corn exchange, said:
The outlook depends, in my opinion, ON
the financial situation ON the other side;
II there is no money trouble in the United
States, l believe wheat will go up another
70 cents. They are importing wheat this
ces, where they have never imported it

Frank Wilson. of Montegredcu, Ellerby
& Co., said: France is a great factor in
the situation. | have seen a French buyer
just come over from Paris, who said to
me of the present French crop: The
more we see of it the less we like it
There was a shortage in France of
100000 quintals, and they have already
bought 100000. If the estimate is too
high, they may be selling soon instead of
buying. Here is a sample of a parcel of
% shillings, and for which 1 have re-

a hard fact which cannot be blnked.
Il give you my opinion; l believe the

rule for some time to come"
Seth Taylor. far and away the biggest
miller of England said:
Il believe the rise springs from natural
conditions, but in all my experience l
have never known an advance more con-
siderable in so short a time without any
very striking change in the situation.
There is, of course, the fact that the
whole continental crop is short, and if the
weather breaks in the north of England
before the harvest is over, you will have
shot. The weather looks pretty bad just
now. The condition of France apparently
is very serious. The French government
can save itself from the socialist and
anarchists by taking off the wheat duty

PEARL FINDS IN ARKANSAS.
Great Numbers of People Are Wading

Little Rock, Ark, Aug. 24.-New dis
coveries of valuable deposits of pearls
in lakes and rivers in Arkansas have
added greatly to the excitement al
ready existing over similar discover
les, and today thousands of people are
Wading through the water in different
parts of the state searching for preci-
Gus gems. The latest and most SEN
sational discoveries were made in the
Arkansas river and the creeks, lakes
and bayous near Little Rock where
pearls have been picked up ranging in
value from SO TO $500 each Hundreds
of people are working the Saline, White
and other rivers and many valuable
finds have been reported. Additional
discoveries were made on the FOurche
river yesterday, and hundreds of peO-
pie are swarmiRg to that stream. a
staff representative of the Arkansas
Gazette, who has spent much time in
investigating the matter, says there
are 81 streams in the state that are
rich in pearls of large size 1t has now
developed that in the course of a sur
vey made in White river in 1895, $4,000
worth of pearls were collected by mem
bers of the party in the course of their
duties. Recent discoveries lead to the
assertion that never in mans history
were so many and so large pearls dis
covered. Pearls of from 80 to 80 grains
in weight are no uncommon things to
find in the possession of country lads
who fish for pearls for pastime. The
color of the pearls found is that of a
