Chicago, May 13.-In the most SEN
sational opening of the Chicago board
OF trade, wheat today shot past the
dollar mark. Heavy realizing sales
pushed the price backwards somewhat.
but at the close the market was strong
and according to the majority of
spectators On the board the demand
upon which the late advance has been
made is still unsatisfactory. The net
advance today for wheat was four
cents for July and the September op-
tons and 4 1-8 cents for the December
option.
From the low point of Monday of
last week, July wheat had advanced
13 "a September has gone up Is 3-4.
In the December option, the high poiu
today was Is ga above the low price
of last Monday.
1t was a certainty that a strong
bulge would take place in the wheat
market at the opening. AS soon as the
gong sounded there was a terrific roar
of voices, all voices to buy and no
Offering to sell. The trade was too
big n too broad to be followed with
any certainty, and brokers filed Or
ders frequently several cents away
from the point at which they hoped to
buy.
The July option opened between 80
and "a. September opened at 95 to 80,
which was up 1 3-8 to 5 3-S above the
price Of last week.
December showed a wider range
than either of the two options, as the
opening for December ran at all fig
between SO 1-2 to 103.
The rush of buying orders seemd to
come from almost every town in the
States which was situated
along a telegraph wire. The profess |
sional traders were Of the opinion |
that the opening was a little too Wig

over Sunday was tempting: AS soon,.
therefore, as trade steadied three mil |
ions of bushels were thrown . O the
market in realizing sales. AS a result
he advance for a time was checked.
The buying orders however, still pour
ID in, and the market gain scared.
