GOES OVER A DOLLAR.
MAY WIFE AT REACHES a HIGH
PRICE IN CHICAGO.
Goal Reached Amid Wild Excitement
on the Board of Trade-Sccue Like
That of IS9S-Third Highest Record
in Last Twenty Years.

Dollar wheat is = reality. May wheat
reached the dollar mark soon after the
opening of the market ON the Chicago
Board of Trade Friday. nor did it stop
there. Amid scenes OF the widest eX-
element in the pit, it advanced steadily
until it sold for $1.033s a bushcl The
price under heavy selling by large brok-
ers broke to 99la cents Within i've min
uteS, while shorts clamored for il, it re-
turned to the higher figure again. The
market opened at 81.
The pit was filled with wildly excited
shorts attempting to secure enough of
the commodity to fulfill their contracts.
Undtr the widest sort of bidding the
price went up steadily. There was no
wheat to be purchased and point by point
the price rose. AS it reached the $101Ss
point there was heavy selling and thou
sands of bushels changed hands in a
minute.
This record price. the third highest in
the history of grain speculation in Chi
cago in the last twenty years. was reach
ed within fifteen minutes after the big
gong ON the floor of the exchange an
nounced the opening of the days bust
ness The dollar mark is the goal to-
ward which May wheat has been strug-
Cling for weeks.
Cash Wheat AIso Up.
During the time in which May wheat
was eclipsing its best earlier efforts, cash
wheat was not idle, and stimulated by
the advance of May the price of No. ,
red winter wheat went to $1.0S a bushel
simultaneously with the Chicago bulge
the price Of grain experienced a similar
advance throughout the country-from
Winnebago. where % cents was paid for
May heat. to Oklahoma. where wheat
for shipment to Europe via Galveston
commands price of 81. The rise in
price is partly the cause and in part the
result of a similar condition in England
and on the continent.
The conflict in the far East, the belli-
cose rumors from the Balkans, the fear
that the great powers may forSake their
pacific attitude and become involved in
one or the other of these wars, are all
responsible in varying degrees for exist
ing high prices. These conditions are fur
Their aggravated by the unsatisfactory
reports from the grain producing districts
and the fact that Russia has been clear
ing no grain for several days.
In 1891 wheat for May delivery sold
at $1.0S and in 1898 Letter forced the
price to $1.S5.
Corn and oats were affected by the
wheat strength, but in less notable de-

COMPANY MUST GET LICENSE.
Government Contends that Companies
Handling Liquor Must Pay Fee.

The United States government has
started suit against the Western Express
Company, which operates on the 500

duly licensed dealers in other States and
that it merely acts as common carrier.
The government insists that the company

L----I last week says:
Inclement weather alone prevents
definite revival of business Outdoor
work is retarded and traffic impeded TO
an extent that cannot be accurately
measured, but is obviously sufficient to
neutralize the favorable effect of many
encouraging factors, while winter wheat
is threatened, although not yet definitely
injured, and early farm preparations
must be postponed.
Several leading branches OF manufac-
ture are increasing active capacity, and
thousands of interior buyers are placing
liberal orders at the principal cities. The
usual temporary advantages of war are
felt in the markets for staple commodi-
ties, notably food stuffs, but while this
helps the domestic producer it harms
a much larger number by enhancing
prices to home consumers. There is little
friction between empowers and wage
earners, except regarding the bituminous
scale Despite interruption by storms,
railway earnings thus far reported for
February were only 4 per cent smaller
than year ago. when there was also
much severe weather. Foreign trade re-
turns for the last week at this port show
an increase of 81, 152,012 in value of eN-
ports, as compared with last year, but
imports were slightly smaller. Financial
conditions are satisfactory money re-
naming easy and foreign exchange un-
disturbed by complications abroad.
Liabilities of commercial failures thus
far reported for February aggregated So
344, 1852, of which $2,004,911 were in
manufacturing, $2,515,17 in trading and

the same period last year liabilities were
