Most Remarkable Advance Recorded
In the History of the Chicago Ex-
change.
CHICAGO, June 23.-July wheat was
quoted at 66kc on the Board of Trade
during the session of June 4. At the
close to-day the same option was sell
ing at SSc. This was 4Mc above the
closing price of yesterday. No such
advance has been scored since the at
tempted corner by Joseph Letter.
In the advance of 21h cents during
the past nineteen days there have been
no evidences of manipulation, contrary
to the speculative proverb that the
market only advances on manipuia-
ton; its natural course is downward"
1t has been the most remarkable rise
in the history of the exchange. "Pyr-
amiders" have had everything their
own way, because there has been
scarcely a setback since the market
crossed 20 cents.
Causes for this advance in the price
of the staff of life are found in the
parched spring wheat fields of the
great northwest, where authorities de-
clare not one-third of the crop of for.
mer years can be harvested. A bum
per winter wheat crop has already
been assured, outside of the States of
Ohio, Indiana and Michigan.
For the satisfaction of those who
may be in fear of starvation, it may
also be stated that the visible supply
of wheat in the public granaries of the
United States exceeds 45, 000, 900 bush
els.
But at present a sort of bull fever
is running high and the Chicago wheat
pit is flooded by Geographic orders
from every part of the world to "buy.
buy, buy"
