THE WHEAT MARKET
Wheat gained ~ in price at one time to-
day, establishing a record figure for the
year, but lost many friends in SO doing.
Conservative traders felt that news from
Europe did not warrant such sensational
jumps as the market experienced today
and withheld their support. The result
was an irregular list of values all day,
covering wide range. BY putting forth
all their efforts the bulls succeeded in
running September up to 95ss or Ia above
yesterdays highest and ~ higher than
last nights close. They were aided by
nervous short crop news from the north
west. Prominent authorities are now esti-
mating the spring wheat in Minnesota and
the Dakotas as low as 1926 900, 900 bushels.
few weeks ago 200, 900 900 bushels was con-
sidered very conservative estimate. To-
days information to the traders here
claimed that the threshing was late and
the ears untitled owing to recnt heavy
rains. suggesting the likelihood of a smaller
per cent of the crop grading No. 1 northern
than for any year since 1883. The quota
tions for No. 1 northern, f. o. b.. afioat in
this market at one time today on the
nominal basis of 6 cents over September
was 101% and No. red 9924@1.00 f. o. b.
afloat. but dollar wheat in the trade ac-
ceptance of the term refers to the Septem-
ber option, in which most of the trading
now centers. With the best point today this
option was only 4Ac away from the goal.
1t was found impossible, however. without
constant support from all sides and
steady European demand to maintain this
pace and in the afternoon prices gave way
suddenly, losing TX on September and ~
on December from the highest point under
heavy and excited selling by scalpers,
foreign houses and others. The close was
very nervous on the basis of 94c for Sep
tember and 92% for December. Still later,
on the curb. September rallied to 94h.
One of the days features was the abund-
ance of foreign selling orders, represent
ing profit taking on recent purchases, new
short account sales, etc. Private cables
asked for offers, but the actual export
transactions were disappointingly small
| about 100000 bushels. 1t was this feature
coupled with indications that the market
was working more on sentiment than news,
which made conservative traders distrust-
full of the bull side this morning and con-
tributed more or less to the final break in
prices. Total future sales for the session
were s, $50, 900 bushels.

CHICAGO MARKETS
Yesterdays Transactions on the Board
of Trade

CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-When the wheat
market opened the pit was jammed with
anxious, excited brokers and traders, and,
the course Of prices after the first plunge
gave grounds for belief that Yesterdays
sensational advance might be repeated.
A more pronounced bearish feeling, how
ever, ultimately asserted itself against
September wheat, which closed Yesterday
at S81s and started today at SSdSSA, and
soon dropped to Sl5s, and after bobbing
around between that figure and 8S for
feW moments 1t rose in quarter leaps to
S9%, helped along by flood of buying or
ders from those who had previously held
aloof They climbed into the band wagon
too late, however. From S9% the market
slid like toboggan down a we'll planed
runway until it was brought up with a
splash into the figures between STA and 81.
Although S7A was virtually the bottom of
the decline, one $4,000 bushel lot was sold
at the elimination of the descent at 81.
Business slackened after that and the
price had again recovered to 1854 by 1:SO
o'clock without the buying of any great
quantity. Liverpool began the days SEN
sation by 1B@2Ad advance and slightly
increased this later in the day. The news
from New York, however, was somewhat
discouraging, being to the effect that for
eign orders received today were generally
to sell out wheat previously bought. Crop
reports too. were not unanimous as to the
damage done the spring wheat, the Price
current in particular being rather bearish
in tone. Paris cables showed advances
ranging from rs to 25s. Those who did
not get thrown out on the plunge to 81
and S7k about IL 80 o'clock, had another
chance to sell at S9s4-that price being
again obtainable at about the hour of
noon. During the next hour it went down
to IS and up to $685. and in fact did not
seem to know where it was during that
time The trade was not heavy of gen.
eral, the majority of the local scalpers pre-
ferring to look on. 1t was current rumor
in the pit near the close that wheat was
selling up with Allen-Grier which indi-
Gates that many have parted with a con-
siderable portion of the wheat they were
holding for the party known as the bull
syndicate. Acting on that belief, the crowd
jumped on the market and in a few minutes
hammered it down from around SS to- 81. and
it closed at S7% for September and s7X for
December September corn was fairly
steady, showing degree of nervousness at
times on account of the erratic action of
wheat. Oats were rather quiet within a
narrow range, with the tendency towards
slightly lower prices. In provisions the
Cudahys were heavy sellers of October
lard. presumably liquidation of long time.
which was taken by shippers. Pork, after
an early decline advanced sharply on
outside buying lard and ribs being car
red along. Most of the advance was los,
later

The Financial Record of New York is
responsible for the statement that some
2OO Klondyke companies have been organ
lied within the past thirty days all over
the United States to go into mining opera
tions. The same journal says that investors
should be very careful where they put
money in Klondyke mining organizations.
There are few good companies being got
up for the legitimate development of the
resources of Alaska, but lot of others are
simply schemes to secure money from the
public.
