DOLLAR WHEAT is REACHED.
Price Of May Cereal on Chicago Board
of Trade the Highest in
Many Years.

Chicago, Feb. 20.-Dollar wheat is
reality. May wheat reached the dol
lar mark soon after the opening of the
board of trade Friday, nor did it stop
there.
Amid scenes of the widest excite.
ment in the pit, it advanced steadily
until it sold for $101% a bushel, when
j. Ogden Armour's brokers began to
sell at an enormous profit to the young
manipulation. Later it reached s1.O3.
No. 2 Red winter wheat. the finest
quality, sold for $1.0S a bushel, the
highest mark for many years.
Traders declared that Armour sold
100000 bushels of wheat at an aver
age profit of 20 cents q bushel. On
this basis he cleared 100000.
So anxious were the shorts to cover
at this price, however, that they forced
the price still higher, until May wheat
had touched the $1.01% mark. This
was in spite of the heavy selling by
the Armour brokers and the loss Of
from IS to 25 cents a bushel to those
who bought the commodity at this
high figure. Had it not been for the
free selling by Armour. the price
would have reached $1.O5. it was said
on the floor.

that the manufacturers of fixed ammuui-
