BEARS IN A PANIC.
Wheat Shot Up 3 3-S Cents in
New York Today.

New York, June 23.-Just to show
that they had plenty of energy and
power left, bull operators in wheat gave
their opponents a twist today, exceed
ing in ensational features anything
yet produced in the present campaign.
Taken completely unawares because of
yesterdays drop from the top point,
the bears We're panic stricken this
morning on finding English cables
Z72Q31sd higher and an advance at
Budapest of 4 points since last night
In large numbers they plunged into the
market as the gong struck and began
a frantic and excited effort to replace
their sales. The result was an imme-
date jump to 905s cents for July, COM
pared with So cents last night After
a little hesitation during which a lot
of long wheat came out, the screws
were moved again, and July shot up to
1875 cents with hardly a stop, repre-
senting 53s cents rise for the day and
about p cents in the last three weeks
This means to the public a rise of 81
to 81 so per barrel in the price of flour
Towards 10 o'clock wheat suddenly
dropped off again, reaching 91ss cents
on the midday curb, under renewed
heavy realizing. The crop news from
the northwest today was exceedingly
bad; estimates are being cut down
daily, and the crop seems almost a COM
plete failure.
