tigation of the Nebraska and Kansas
wheat fields, returned this morning.
The consensus of opinion follows:
Wheat, especially in the southeastern
portion OF Nebraska, has suffered
about 10 per cent, owing to the influx
of green hugs and continued drought
Sumner county, Kansas, will not make
over 40 PER cent. The bugs have done
great damage to the fields which were
examined. Some members declared the
entire crop ruined between Caldwell on
the Oklahoma line, and the wichita
district The party agree that the yield
of wheat will be very light as compared
with fromer years.
The party covered the districts OF
Kansas and Nebraska which have in
the past always raised bumper crops.

Great Demand for Wheat.

The rush of buying orders seemed to
come from almost every city in the
United States which was situated along
d telegraph wire. They came from
Winnipeg and from louisiana and
from points on the Pacific and Atlantic
seaboards. The professional traders
were of the opinion that the opening
was little too vigorous. and the
chance to seize profits on lines of long
wheat carried over Sunday tempting

trifle millions of bushels We're thrown
on the market on realizing sales. and

country buyers forced il up. The sit
I'd ton W. too strong for any man or
any clique of men to stem The country
at large seemed determined to buy
wheat at whatever price it could be
had.
There were no claims in any direction
that the market was being manipu-
lated. The general opinion seemed to
be that the advance was based upon
natural conditions, which are certain
to curtail in large degree the worlds
coming crop of wheat. The advices
from all parts of the west and north
west confirmed the previous reports of
damage by weather and by insects,
while kilograms from the Canadian
northwest declared that there Vas still
no possibility of seeding in the district
and that every day of delay meant the
loss of thousands of acres that might
otherwise have been sown to wheat

MODUS VIVENDI
IN REICHSTAG
General Understanding That
Tariff Agreement With Uncle
Sam Is Only Temporary.

Berlin. May 13.-The reichstag today,
with only a few negative votes, passed
the second reading of the commercial
modus vivendi between Germany and
the United States.
Only some conservatives and anti
semites representing agrarian constitu-
encies voted against the measure on
the ground that the arrangement meant
no advantage to Germany In an agri-
cultural way.
Herr Kempff, second vice president
of the reichstag. in reporting the work
of the committee, said that proposal
had been made 10 set alimit upon the
time in which the nodus vivendi must
be denounced.
Another proposal was that the reichs-
tag reserve the right of determining the
date of the denunciatiOn. while other
members of the committee demanded
that the government denounce the
agreement June ], 1907, at the latest.
No Specific Pledge.
the agreement had promised to sup
pIv the reichstag with information as
TO how the arrangement works. There
upon the committee adopted the meas
ure without exacting specific pledges.
Count Won Kanitz. one of the con-
servative leaders, complained that Ger

tariff policy" adding.

conceded so much to the United States
that a definite commercial treaty is out
of The question. Let the Germans take
a lesson from America and pursue a
self-reliant and not a reckless tariff
policy"
Loud applause greeted the last re-
mark.
Centrists and national liberals said
they were willing to accept the modus
vivendl only because it was a mere
TRANSITIONAL step to permanent treaty.

were necessarily involved. The court held
the law to be constitutional but held tina
1t does not apply to laborers and mechan-
les on dredges, and that men so employed
cannot be held to be employed OH public
works. All the cases came to the Su-
preme court OH writs of error from the
federal court for the District of Msssa-
chusetts. Justice Moody delivered a dis
senting opinion. The decision will have
immediate bearing upon the letting of
contracts for the SS7.o00.000 worth of river

session of congress. Most of the con-
tracts under that law were held up by the
war department pending the settlement of
these cases.

WILD SCENES ON

BEARS ARE OVERWHELMED
DOLLAR MARK PASSED BY DE-

Chicago, May 13.-In the most sensa-
tlonal opening in the history of the
Chicago board, of trade, wheat today
shot past the dollar mark. Heavy re-
aiizing sales pushed the price backwa I'd
somewhat. but at the close the market
was strong and, according to the ma
Jorlty of spectators on the board. the
demand upon which the late advance
has been made is still unsatisfied. The
net advance today for wheat was

tons and AS cents for the December.
From the low point of Monday of last

Foreign Markets Excited.

Cablegrams reported the markets at
Liverpool and Budapest to be in q
highly excited condition, with prices
advancing strongly. Liverpool was de-
clared to be affected by gloomy reports
from Russia. andN it was the belief of
many prominent commission men that
Europe will be forced TO buy heavily in
the American market, and that the
American market, instead Of being able
to meet this demand, will be scarcely
strong enough to supply such wheat as
is needed for home consumption Sucn
prominent traders as William II. Bart
lett and James A. Patten declared that
the conditions warranted the sensation
al advance in prices, declaring that the
wheat problem for this year viii be a
difficult one for European buyers to
solve. Among smaller traders predic
tons were made that before the pres
ent advance has stopped July wheat
will go certainly over S1.25 and possibly
to $50

CIassed as Seamen.

Justice Holmes opinion that men en-
ployed Oh dredges in river and harbor
improvements are not iaborers or me-
chanics, was based upon the ground that
in effect such men are seamen. He said
that all other employment is incidental
10 the work of the man upon the dredges
and to their services as seamen, and that
therefore they must be classified as sea-
men.
Justice Moody held an opposite view. de-
claring that the duties of the men in
handling the dredges are incidental TO
their work as labOrers. Their principal
duty was that of digging and removing
dirt, and the fact that they are employed
on a vessel does not alter the case

Washington. Dec. bidding for

the comfortable conviction that the

The following statement was issued
at the treasury department.
THE bids for the $4,000 600 of Pana-
ma canal bonds. invited by the secre-
tary's circular of November is, were
opened in the treasury department.
There were more than 5000 bids, and
the loan was many times over-sub-
scribed. No complete tabulation had
been possible as yet. but 1t can be stat
ed that the average price is well above
the present market price Of the bonds.
Owing 70 the large number Of bids
TO be considered it will be impractical

atey."
Among the bidders was the National
City Bank of New York, which sub
mitted a number OF bids. aggregating
s.. 900 900 at prices ranging from lois
to 1903. 1t also is understood that the
First National bank Of Chicsgo bid for
a large amount Of bonds at something
in excess Of 10l.
Under the secretary's circular OF No
vember is, these bonds will bear inter-
est at the rate of . per cent per an
mum. payable quarterly on the first
days of November. February May and
August. They will be redeemable in
United States gold coin at the pleas
ure OF the United States on and after
August l. 1916 and will be payable Au-
gust /. 1896 The secretary reserves
the right to permit bidders offering
the highest prices to increase the
amount of their purchases.
Already the new 3 per cent certif-
Gates have been deposited to secure
banknote circulation to the amount
Of s7.Sl5.O0O and currency has been
shipped against these deposits except
10 the amount OF about $1,000 900. The
increase in banknote circulation since
November has been s44.357 ,345, and
total circulation stood at 1858. 1903 779.
This amount will probably be pushed
up to nearly s7OOOOO,OOO within the
next few weeks. although it will fall
somewhat below this figure II the ease
prevailing in the money market dimin-
ishes the pressure for currency.
Proceeds OF the per cent. certif-
