RECORD FOR THE SEASON.
SENSATIONAL DAMAGE RE-
PORTS FROM NORTHWEST.
Wheat Gains . 1-Sc to . 5-Sc; Corn

Chicago. Aug ia high record for

Corn is of A9ac. Oats are &c down to

WHEAT.
The rise in wheat prices came with
great waves Of buying throughout the
day. the accompaniments OF dispatches
received. each increasingly calamitous in
suggestions of ruin to the spring wheat.
According to the dispatches current. the
prospect Of enough for bread and seed
appeared to be mere siekly Elimmer.
The markets Of the Northwest cut a
wide swath in price-making. Minneapo-
lis was not only sensationally up. but the
number Of buying orders sent from there
were larger than for several weeks.
are now going over that country were
worse than ever before, and the manner
in which buying orders came in showed
apparently that many sections will like
ly prove heavy losers.
There was more or less talk of dam
age in Manitoba by rust. but from that
section the reports were conflicting. A
special from Winnipeg called attention to
many localities under best conditions.
and that the damage reports are un-
warranted. The popular movement IN
wheat was to buy the May and sell Sep
tember. The market opened with sales
Of $1.eI1 to $1.03I, for Sept. sold to
$1.eh to N.9, to Sl.0iI1. to l.031i to
sL9A: to H.osa. to Hos14. and closed at
N.05Gi .05h.
The reason for yesterdays strength In
corn was washed out by rains that had
fallen meantime in the places which 1t
was said the day before must have rain
or suffer permanent injury to the crop.
1t might. perhaps. have gone worse with
the price II the wheat market had been
less strong. The feeling was one of
nervousness UP to the last. There was
proflt-taking on the hard spots. check
ing the advances and causing the set
back. The local crowd sold corn freely
early on the scattered rains in Kansas,
but were buyers later on advices from
Illinois, Missouri and Kansas that corn

Prices for oats advanced A4hc, but
reacted and closed 1sc lower to &c higher
The feature was increased trading in
