Procession

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller.)
CHICAGO, Feb. 19.--May wheat
opened on the board today at s1.001s
and closed at s1.O2&, reaching the
highest price in many months. During
the day it touched the $1.03 mark and
closed firm.
Corn opened at 55% cents and closed
at 561s cents. All recorGs for wild ex-
element We're threatened on the board
this morning and at the tap of the bell
every trader was on the alert to get in
the first bid. May wheat started off
strong and despite the efforts of the
bears TO force the price down it closed
strong.
Armour let go of his big line of wheat
and the market slumped off amidst n
pandemonium. The shorts bought and
forced it up again to the highest
mark. The rise in grains is caused by
the war situation.
