MAY WHEAT DROPS
OVER FIVE CENTS
First 1t Reaches Record Price
of $1.OSH - Profit.
Taking Sales.

CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-With the sud-
denness of culprit jerked from a scat
fold the May option of wheat today fell
SIC, kicking up and down for hours in
spasms that were heartbreaking. Trad
ing was on an enormous scale. Fears
of European complications in the Rus
so-Japanese war forced the price up to
new high record mark S1.081k, but
tremendous liquidation caused a head
long dive to $1.03A. Compared with
Saturdays close, final figures were
down 1%c. July closed 1Ac lower.
May corn was off 1A @1Ac, oats 1c,
and provisions 15c to 27kc.
Wild excitement marked trading in
the wheat pit from the very start Buy
ing orders appeared to come from all
directions at the opening The cause
was sharp advances in foreign grain
markets. A rumor that the English
feet had been ordered to intercept any
attempt by the Russian fleet to pass the
Dardanel.es furnished an additional
motive to many traders. The May de-
livery was in more active demand than
the deferred futures, and, as a result,
initial sales on that option were at an
advance of nc to 2%c over Saturdays
closing figure. at $1.06h to $1.OSk.
The wide range of prices showed
more plainly than anything else the
excitement under which the market
opened. While some brokers were bid
ding $1.0S19 bushel for wheat, others
almost by their sides were selling that
commodity for &c bushel less. The
volume Of trading the first few min
utes was enormous. Hundreds Of thou
sands Of bushels were sold on the ad-
vance, and under this heavy profit TAX
ing the price of May fell an even 4c
from the high point to $1.04h. July
declined to 94%c, or 1ssc from the top.
Many stop-loss orders were reached on
the way down, which added to the
weakness. Shorts in the May option
took advantage of the break to cover,
and the buying from this source caused
a recovery to $1.061k.
Within the last fifteen minutes an
other flood of selling orders appeared in
the pit. The result of this renewed at
tack was a break in May to $1.03A, a
decline Of SIC from the high point.
July sold off to 921kc, loss of aye.
The close was weak, with May at $1.04.
July closed at 93Ac.

WHY DECISION WAITS
No Politics In the Northern Sc
Curities Case.
Globe Special Washington Service,


1417 G Street.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb 23.-The
department Of justice scouts the re-
port that the supreme court Is holding
back or will hold back the Northern
Securities decision for a long period
to take it out OF the political campaign.
Whatever the court may have done
previously, 1t is pointed out this de-
cision is made peculiar In the fact that
congress has passed a special expedit-
Ing law to apply to 1t and decisions of
similar character, and this is the only
case in which the court is asked by the
legislative branch to make haste. 1t is
assumed the court will take no longer
than necessary to reach a well digested
conclusion.
The opinion is delayed by the fact
that the justices are not using their
clerks and secretaries, but will do all
the wo'k in preparing the opinion per-
sonally in order to avoid the possibility
of a premature leak.
