The wonderful advance in the price Of
wheat continued this morning, the opening
at Chicago being from So 10 81 cents a
bushel. The entire boom IL wheat has
been more or less Of a surprise 10 many
who have not believed more than half that
the calamity howlers told them. The ad-
vance from SO cents has surprised almost
the entire financial world. Whether act
ual conditions warrant the present price,
or not whether the boom Is due to politics
or not there can be no question that II IS
having a most depressing effect on the
stock market. Even although the average
specUiatOr may feel convinced that wheat
at s. cents is a manipulated price that
cannot last. the bulge OF 20 cents a bushel
cannot but cause liquidation and short
selling IN the gTangeTs and the Pacific Sc
CuTities, and sympathetic weakness in the
balance of the market When this factor
is added TO the unexpected trouble in Chi
ma which looms up pOrtenJously, and
causes the more alarm because OF its very
uncertainty, il is not 10 be wondered that
the Stock Market Is passing through a
