NEW YORK WHEAT.
Everybody Keyed Up to the Dollar
Proposition.

New York, Aug 1e-wheat gained
IA cents in price at one time today,
establishing another 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 a wide
range of prices. BY putting forth all
their efforts the bulls succeeded in
running September up to 95A or rs
cents above yesterdays highest and
11s cents higher than last nights close
The quotations for No. northern
f. O. b., afloat in this market at one
time today on the nominal basis of 6
cents over September was 1.01%, and
No. red, 99% to 81 I. O. b., afloat, but
dollar wheat" in the trade accept
anee of the term referred to the Sep
TENDER option, in which most of the
trading now centers. At the best point
today, this option was only III cents
away from the goal. 1t was found
impossi bic, however, without constant
European demand, to maintain this
space. and in the late afternoon prices
gave way suddenly, losing Ia ON Sep
TENDER and 21l on Decen Der from the
highest point, under heavy and excit-
ing. selling by scalpers. foreign houses
and others. The close was very nsr-
yous on the basis of 81 cents FOR Sep
tember and 92% for December. Still
later, on the curb, September rallied
to 941g.
Late 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 dis
trustful of the bull side this morning
and contributed more or less to the
final break in prices. Should there be
a revival of European demand for
American wheat, however, or a de-
cided advance on the other side. our
market would doubtless respond
quickly. Everybody on change is
keyed up to the idea of dollar Septem-
Der wheat before the end of the month,

Chicago Grain and Produce.

Chicago, Aug. 19-When the wheat
market opened the pit was damned
with anxious and excited brokers and
traders, and the course of prices after
the first plunges gave grounds for belief
that yesterdays sensational advance
might be repeated. A more pronounced
bearish feeling, however, ultimately as
serted itself against September wheat.

From S9%c the market slid like a to-

Business slackened after that and the
price had again recovered to SS9ac by

great quantity.
These who did not get thrown out
on the plunge to S7@S719c about 1870
O'Clock, had another chance at 9S&c-

the hour of noon. During the next hour
