WHEAT TAXES BIG
 UPWARD FLIGHT Everybody Wanted to Buy When Report Came Out BULLS MAKE BIG STAMPEDE In New York the Bears Controlled the Situation Up to Midday, the
 Change of Front Be-
 ing Quick.
BULLS MAKE BIG STAMPEDE

Chicago August 11.--Wheat made big upward flight today, soaring 412@ 4@4 above the lowest figures of the day. The closing prices was within SIS of the top, and showed net gain of 27s bushel, as compared with yesterdays final fig ures.
 The government crop report indicating a decrease of 56OOO,OO0 bushels from the estimate made a month ago, was appar- ently looked upon as the shattering any hopes that the gloomy outlook for the wheat crop in the northwest was over drawn. The statistics for the report hav- ing been gathered prior to the appearance of the deadly black Nust, was seemingly less unfavorable than the present situa- tion would warrant.
 The excitement and buying furore of the past few days returned with added impetus, and even at the top prices, com paratively little wheat came out.

Big Stampede of Bulls.

New York, August l1.-Today's wheat market came in like a lamb and went out like lion.
 It came with bear selling right and left on favorable northwest weather news. and the satisfactory monthly crop report, and ended with bulls conducting one of the biggest stampedes of shorts yet seen on the crop. Early pressure carried September in New York down to 103ss in the late bulge It touched 1O7ss. reaching new high record for the crop. The bears controlled the situation up to midday. Its change of front was remark ably quick and afforded shorts no chance whatever for resistance. Almost before they knew what had happened prices were up a cent. The close was near the top, and 2la to 8 cents over the previous night.
