PORTLAND, Or, Aug. 22.-The sky
rocke.y flight of wheat. which, the
different 1ditions. being considered,
is without parallel in commercial
history, continued to the close of busi-
ness in the East yesterday, and even
after the regular business of the ex-
changes was over the bulls on the curb
were still rampant. The closing price
of September wheat in Chicago Tues
day was e34 cents, and yesterday it
closed at an even dollar, showing
phenomenal advance of 16t cents in
four days. This remarkable upward
movement has been watched with
great deal of interest in Oregon and
Washington, and these two states,
have far and away The largest crop of
wheat that they have ever produced,
and an advance of ! cent per bushel
means an increase in the value of the
wheat held in the two states of $780,
COO.
The Portland market has kept apace
with the advance in the East as far as
possible, but a rapid advance in
Heights has absorbed fully cents per
bushel of the rise. In comparison with
former years, there has been smaller
proportion OF the wheat crop sold in
August than usual; but the yield is SO
much greater than the actual quantity
that has changed hands to date is
much larger than in previous years.
Receipts for the past week in Portland
have averaged little over SO cars per
day. Thus far the mills have taken up
the bulk of the receipts, the ware.
houses being comparatively empty as
yet.
While it is the general opinion that
the recent advance has been too rapid
to be maintained in full, few, tfany,
predict a low price for the cereal.
There may be some seesawing of the
market, but the statistical position of
wheat throughout the world is so
strong that it will be difficult to break
prices much until another harvest
approaches in portions Of the world
that are now on the blacklist as far as
wheat-producing is concerned. tt is
an unusual occurrence for charters to
ad, ance at the Same time that wheat
does, but at present they are rapidly
going toward a higher level than has
been the rule for a long time. A few
charters were made early in the week
at 80 shillings for large vessels and 80
shillings 6 pence for small vessels.
Yesterday top figure of the first OF
the weak was offered, and refused, as
also was 81 shillings 8 pence for large
carrier, owners demanding a5 shillings.
Thursday charters were made in the
bay city at 26 shillings pence, with
owners asking shillings more. The
latest charter made on the Sound was
the British ship Troop, at 80 shillings.
In spite of these stiff rates, wheat in
Portland yesterday reached the high
est figure that has been quoted for six
years, 80 cents being paid for Valley
and bluestem, while Walla Walla sold
for ~ cents

CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-The curb quota
tion for September wheat today was
81. .O2f, an advance of three cents over
Saturdays close, At the same time
33t was bid for corn, two cents over
Saturdays close. Liverpol's opening
wheat advance this morning was equal
TO 81 cents per bushel.
The highest price touched In the
initial trading was 994 cents for
September, the exact quotation at
which the market closed Saturday.
Simultaneous sales at the opening
were all the way down a cent lower to
9St cents for September, and few
minutes later sales were being recorded
at 81 and even 96i cents. Enormous
quantities of wheat were for sale from
every direction. 1t was hard to sell,
buyers being relatively very scarce.
The lowest point reached was 95 cents
for September, plunge of II cents
from the high point on the curb. Corn
sympathized with the slump in wheat,
and the first regular trading was at 80,
and all the way down to 90 for Septem-
Der, as compared with 33s on the curb.
After the opening rush to sell, there
J was some recovery and at 10 A. N. Sep
tember wheat was back to 98 cents,
and gradually worked up to 99a cents,
but at IL o'clock declined again to 97i
cents.
NEW YORK, Aug 23.-Wheat had an
other sensational opening today, but
less one-sided than of late. The bulls
were startled to find heavy selling or
ders from foreign and other sources,
which broke prices during the first
half hour about cents bushel from
the highest curb price of Saturday.
December opened at 1O4, broke to 10ls
under vigorous selling pressure, and
then rebounded violently to 104t, later
Weakening to 1034.
