WILD TIME IN NEW YORK.
Saturday Market Showed Most Ex-
cited Scenes of the Week.

NEW YORK, Aug. H.-Wheat bulls add
ed about cents a bushel to the dollar
mark attained yesterday, and are now out
hot-foot for $125 bushel in the New York
market. To-day's opening was one of the
most exciting of the entire week Mem
bers and others who had not been seen in
downtown circles in years focked to the
floor and gallery to watch the sensational
developments in wheat. AT the first stroke
of the gong September swung up to $1.02,
selling also down to $1.01A at the same in
stant in other parts of the pit. The crowd
of buyers fought vigorously among them
selves to get possession of the few lots Of
fering and quickly bid the price up to
$1.031s by rapid strides of u cent more
at clip. The bears were nowhere. 1t was
feverish clamor for wheat from all
sources. Eleventh-hour bulls, those who
never come in to buy until prices have al
ready had big advance, were particularly
prominent in the early dealings. Decem-
Der opened from 81 to $10024 and went
flying after September impelled by mad
rushes to buy and general bull excitement.
1t soon reached SLOPE and then in common
with the rest of the list, cooled off little
both in trading activity and upward move
ment For a time the whole market rested
like some huge monster taking breath after
a fray. But towards midday the restless
energy of the bulls started prices climbing
up once more. Just before the close Sep
tember reached $1.O55s, easing off later to
$1O512, which was the official closing fig
ure During the next hour on the curb
pandemonium again broke loose, for the
wires announced dollar wheat at Chi
cago. A cheer, almost as hearty as that
which greeted the similar event here yes
terday, went up from the pit and bulls
shook the market to its foundation with
their demands for more wheat, forcing
September still higher to $1.063s. 1t was a
feverish day, giving promise of sensational
markets in the future. While there were
several points in the news to-day which
under ordinary circumstances might have
given the bears foothold, they had no in
f1uence in view of the overpOwering bull
sentiment among traders. Gables from
Liverpool came 3Q35sd higher than last
night, but foreign houses sold as much as
they bought. There were no important ex-
port transactions, and the spring wheat
outlook was made brighter by sunshine and
warm weather. Cash wheat (No. / North
ern, f. o. b. afloaD closed nominally $1.13 q
bu. Total sales of futures were 4,570, 900 bu
Exports of wheat and -four from both
coasts were $500 900 bu last week, while
Europe purchased about 100000 bu more
during the week at New York and out
ports. Closing figures on wheat futures to-
day were about 42c higher than last year,
and spot wheat about 58c higher.

RECORD-BREAKING DAY.
First Time Three Options Ever Sold
Above 81 at St. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. H.-The wheat market
here made new records to-day all options,
as we'll as cash, selling and closing at a
good advance over the dollar mark. 1t was
the first time in six years that the pre-
vaiing option on wheat sold above 81, and
the first time in the history of the exchange
that sales at more than 81 a bushel were
made in three options during the same ses-
sion. In addition to this, cash wheat sold
at $1.05. Traders hardly dared to do any
thing until the opening figures from Chi
cago were known. This gave them a cue
and the trading bl gan. December, the prin-
cipal option, ,whicn closed at 97lsc on the
previous day, opened 25sc higher at an even
dollar, advanced 7sc more, declined 11sc,
and subsequently advanced 2sac, closing at
81 .O21a, the top. September opened at 81, an
advance of &c over yesterday, while the first
deal in May was a sale at $l03, which was
39sc higher than yesterdays close. Septem-

TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 21.-The farmers
of Kansas. who have been holding nearly
zoo 100000 bushels of old corn, may dis
cover that much of the grain has been
destroyed by rats. In Pottawatomie and
other eastern counties many farmers have
lost large lots of corn by these pests. on
a dozen farms where from 100 to 300 BUSH
els have been cribbed farmers have lost
nearly all their corn. Rats eat into the
cribs. leaving a layer of corn on top the
interior Of the bin being completely de-
stroyed. The farmers of Union township

large cribs and with dogs and clubs killed
an average of !. 900 rats in each.

ANDERSON Ind, Aug. H.-Wheat
brought 81 at Anderson markets to-day.
This was the first time 81 has been paid
since 1887 On the 9th day of August,
1891, when "Old Hutch" cornered the mar
ket, 96c was paid in this city, but it was
the highest point reached in ten years. The
lowest was 45c, in 1898, when Partridge
beared the market. A year ago it brought
53c. Although the 81 market stood from 10
o clock, but little wheat marketed.
Many farmers announce that they will hold
for $l.25, and a few are holding for a higher
figure than that Mr.. Wellington, of
Wellington & Schalk estimates that about
one-half of the wheat in this county has
been marketed. OF the remaining one-half
about a third will be held for private con-
sumption and seed. 1t is estimated that
the wheat which has been marketed
brought on an average 15c. Farmers are
