SENSATIONAL MOVEMENTS ON
TWO EXCHANGES.

phenomenal rise in the price of corn and
sharp advance in the price of wheat caused much
excitement at the Produce Exchange YESTERDAY
and helped create fresh Generalization IN the STOCK
market Corn went to a higher point than 1t had
reached in July since 1891 September corn rose
cents a bushel above Saturdays price, closing
at 621s September wheat went up TO H1s
cents and closed at TN cents three cents pushel
above the price at the close of the market on sat

gave hope for rain this week private uis
patches received by many of the brokers saiu IL
hotter and dryer in the corn producing resioi
than 1t had been before. Speculation as u
possible damage to the crop was rife on the hooi
of the Produce Exchange before the hour OF OPEN

The excitement was intense when the brokers
gathered around the big pit and watched the uif'i

count of the freight charges and after the
business the Produce Exchange began the prices
of both corn and wheat scared and jumped IN d
way to cause sensation.
The partition wall running across the floor OF the
Produce Exchange and cutting off the space Whcn
is the temporary home of the Stock Exchange dld
not prevent the stock brokers from seeing the
rapid changes the dial that marked the PRICES
of corn and wheat, and they could hear the tre-
mendous uproar about the grain pits that marked
the exciting trading. Scarcity in corn and wheat
means less business for railroads. and at the STOCK
Exchange the stock of the Western railroads Went
down sharply In fact there a general de-
cline in prices at the stock market. and many
brokers declared it due mainly to the alarm

declined per cent. while Southern Pacific was
down 1S.
Many brokers at the Produce Exchange and at
the Stock Exchange said yesterday that they be-
leved the reports of damage to the crops had been
exaggerated. and that trustworthy Information
would send down the prices of corn and wheat
and send up the prices of railway stocks later on.
An officer OF of the prominent railway systems

The farmer, like every other business man, al

FRUIT HIGH IN PRICE.
THE UNFAvoRABLE WEATHER HAS ALSO
MADE VEGETABLES SCARCE.

prices in foreign and domestic fruit were never
higher than at the present time said member
of the firm of p Ruhlman & Co, fruit jobbers at
No 90 Murray-st. to a Tribune reporter yesterday
THE unusually unfavorable weather of this year
has been the direct cause. The cold. rainy back
ward spring retarded for weeks the growth
of the buds on fruit trees and when the buds had
about begun to mature they were met by a long
spell of continued heat, that has caused great
havoc TO all fruit dealers and a great scarcity Of
fruit. Prices have consequently risen.
''To satisfy trade dealing almost ex-
clusively In California fruit. In fact, California
oranges have suppanted foreign grown ones In
the trade. California fruit raisers control the
market. and result prices soar The excess
sive heat has produced enormous demand for
lemons and raised the price of that fruit. The
drouth and heat have dried the stems of apples. so
that all we can get windfalls. at about 81
box. The few blossoms early In the year and
the hot weather will result in scanty supply Of
apples and higher prices later"
A member OF the firm of S. Lichtenstein e. Co.
of No 81 Barclay-st, said yesterday: The weather
has had disastrous effect on the produce trade.
and higher prices will be the rule for some time TO
come.
