NEW YORK, May 13.-Wheat went over
the dollar mark tat the opening of the ex-
change this morning, and not i'm years has
there been such a wild opening on the mar
ket. Prices here started at 1.O0%, against
Dds on the curb Saturday. Within a few
minutes, the price shot up to IO2k.
There were sensational advances in the
foreign markets, with a big accumulation of
orders over Sunday. To this was at

CHICAGO, May 13.-Wheat took a ire
mendous jump at the opening of the board
of trade today, initial prices for the leading
options showing gain Of IA to cents.
The latter advance was on the December
delivery, which sold at $1.O3.
The opening on the board was the widest
and most excited that has been seen in
several years. Predictions made by the
bulls on Saturday night that dollar
wheat would soon be a reality were
brought about within a few calls after the
opening, both September and December
selling above the predicted price, December
going as high as $1.O3 The trade was too
every commission house was stacked up
with buying orders. The orders, as rule,
were to take wheat at the market price,
Feeling in the country that the winter
wheat crop has been badly hurt was even
stronger than on Saturday, and the demand
came from all parts of the United States.
Traders Realize Heavily.
Many traders realized heavily on the
enormous bulge at the opening. but the big
demand continued and the selling had ap-
parently not the slightest effect. Prices
continued to advance steadily. The Liver
pool market was reported strong and there
was sharp advance at Minneapolis be-
cause of small worlds shipments and I'M
favorable weather in the northwest.
At 10 o'clock July wheat was selling at
95A and September at 974s. both having
dropped back somewhat under selling pres
sure.
The scene on the board of trade for the
first half hour after the opening was the
most turadlent that has been witnessed
there since the collapse Of the Letter cor
ner in 1898. Brokers made frantic efforts
to fill orders for wheat, but in many cases
were unable to buy within to 3 cents of
the expected price. so rapid were the fluc-
be back Of the buying movement.
Market Became Steadier.
At 1915 the buying pressure which was
responsible for the wild opening of the
market was less urgent. Long wheat was
being thrown upon the market in large
quantities and prices were much steadier.
The excitement had SO far subsidized that
