feveR,sn clAmoR FOR WHEAT.


New York. Aug. 22.-Wheat bulls added
about cents "A bushel to the dollar mark
reached. Friday, and are now bent on
making the figure $l.25 in this market.
Saturdays opening was one of the most
exciting of the whole week. Members
and Others who had not been seen in
downtown circles in years flocked to the
floor and gallery to watch the sensa-
tional developments in wheat.
At the first stroke of the gong. Septem-
Der swung up to lO2. selling also down to
l01h at the same instant in other parts OF
the pit. The crowd of buyers fought Wig
orously among themselves to get possess
sion of the few lots offering, and quickly
bid the price up to 1922 by rapid strides
of half cent or more at a clip.
The bears were nowhere. 1t was a
feverish clamor for wheat from all
sources. Eleventh-hour bulls. those who
never come in to buy until prices have
already had a big advance. were particu-
iarly prominent In the carly dealings.
December opened from 100 to 1908. and
went flying after September, impelled by
mad rushes to buy and general bun ex-
element. 1t soon reached 1929. and then.
in common with the rest of the list, cooled
off little both in trading activity and
upward movement. For time the whole
market rested, like some huge monster
taking breath after fray. But toward
midday the restless energy of the bulls
started prices upward once more. Just
before the close September reached 1855
easing off later to 1861, which was the
official closing figure.
During the next hour on the curb. pam
demonium again broke loose, for the
wires announced dollar wheat at Chicago.
A cheer. almost as hearty as that which
greeted the similar event here. Friday,
went up from the pit, and the bulls shook
the market to its foundation with their
demands for more wheat. forcing Sep
TENDER still higher-to 1063s. 1t was a
feverish day. giving promise of sensa-
tional markets in the future.
While there were several points in the
news, Saturday. which might, under or
binary circumstances. have given the
bears a foothold. they had no influence
in view of the overpowering bull senti-
ment among traders. Cables from Liver
pool came in Sd. and 3ssd. higher than
Friday night. but foreign houses sold as
much as they bought.
There were no important export tram
sactions. and the spring wheat outlook
was made brighter by sunshine and warm
weather. Cash wheat (No. /. Northern,
(. o. b. afiOaO closed nominally $l.13 a
bushel. Total sales of futures were A.
$40, GOO bushels.

Ever Held.

Buffalo, N. Y, Aug. 22.-Buffalo Ia
all ready for the army Of veterans
who are on their way here to attend the
Slst annual encampment Of the G. A.
r. During the night hundreds OF vet
Grams and their friends arrived, and to-
day they are coming in by thousands.
1t is estimated that nearly 5000 strang-
ers were in town yesterday and that
from $4,000 to 10000 came in TODAY.
The various railroads entering Buffalo
report that in addition to the hundreds
of regular trains, schedules have been
prepared for 245 specials to arrive here
by Tuesday noon. Among the promi-
nent arrivals are j. Cory Winans, COM
mander-in-chief Clarkson's stan; Gen.
j. r. Lewis, past junior vice command
er; Gen. Daniel Ross Of Wilmington,
Del, candidate for Junior vice COM
mander-in-chief. Camp Jewett, as the
city of tents is known, is all ready for
its inhabitants and while it will not be
formally opened until I o'clock tomor-
row afternoon, number of rosts are
already installed. Ample arrange
ments have been made. at the camp
and elsewhere for the care of the sick.

Colonel Winans of Gen. Clarkson's staff
estimates the number of visitors to Buff
falo during the week at POO. OOO making
the largest encampment ever held. In
speaking of the choice OF the veterans for
the next encampment. Col. WinanS said
so far as his information went there was
but one choice among the delegates. and
that was Cincinnati. There seems to be
a feeling. he said. among some of the
Eastern people. that San Francisco wants
the encampment. but that is a mistake.
San Francisco Is preparing to make a bid
in 1899. With regard to the encampment
being held in Richmond, Va, he contin-
ued. there is nothing In 1t. The people
down there don't want II, and the old SOL
of the negro is 50 different in the South
from that in the North that it would
cause much unpleassss1tness.
Notwithstanding this view. the Young
Mems Business Association of Richmond
has opened headquarters here. and the
members are making quite an effort to
secure the encampme1tt.

his age, beyond 60 years. will tell against

and was lodged in jail to await q hear
ing, tomorrow. 1t Is alleged that the
troubles which led to the assault be-
gan early In 1896, when Mrs. Law
renee left her husband and child and
applied to Judge Seaver for the APP
pointment of q guardian over the girl,
who was about years of age. 1t Is
said that Lawrence tried to steal the
child from the parties who were caring
for her under the direction of the guar
attorney. Judge Seaver then granted
an Injunction restraining Lawrence
from interfering with the girl in any
way. At the last session of the court
Mrs. Lawrence petitioned for divorce
and refusal to support. The case was
tried before Judge Start and dismissed
because of insufficient evidence, the in
junction was removed and Lawrence
was given permission to see his child.
Lawrence conducted his own defence,
refusing counsel.
He has greatly disliked Judge Seaver
ever since the guardian was appointed,
and this morning he called upon the
Judge and entered into hot discussion
with him. The Judge ordered Law
renee to leave the house and followed
him to the door, where Lawrence drew
a revolver and fired two shots, the first
of which took effect as before stated
and small quantity Of morphine was
found upon him, showing that he was
undoubtedly morphine eater, thus ex-
planning why he has at times appeared
to be mentally unbalanced.

Erect or Good Housing on Mortality.

The exceptionally low death rate In
many Of the so-called model dwellings
in London is sometimes explained by
the fact that the dwellings attract
young people, and the pick of the poor.
This cannot, however, be the case
with the dwellings, belonging to the

ing the Dwellings of the Working

year of useful existence. The DEAN
rate among the 6430 people who livt
in the fourteen blocks of dwellings
situated in various parts of London
was only 9.64 per 1000, which is just
half the average for the whole Of LcN-
don. These model dwellings, judged
by this fact, are as good as heslth
resort. There was notably a great
saving in infant life. These things
speak we'll for the good sanitary state
of the dwellings, and also show that
